CLASSIC COMP - PARANOIMIA 1

[Shockwave]

Here is my version of;

THIS CRACKTRO

I have attached a screen shot and exe to this post, you'll need to be logged into your account to download

Many apologies to Roly for the false start, luckilly I managed to get hold of a conversion of this GMC tune, it's not a perfect conversion but it's quite close.

oh! souvenirs, souvenirs

[Ghost^BHT]

looks like the real thing here good work and thanks for the greet 

[Shockwave]

You're welcome mate!

[bbear]

great one

[Shockwave]

It was a classic one Thanks, glad you like it!
I will make one more I think.. Not sure what yet.

[benny!]

Damn. Outstanding work, shocky !!! Intro conversion roxx. Excellent job!

[Emil_halim]

you did it shocky, good .

is there any chance to get the source code?

[Shockwave]

Here it is (no music) attached to the post

[Emil_halim]

thanks shocky , that is really fast.

now , we have the source code of shocky and Jim.

so ppl will learn and try to make thier own one.

[Emil_halim]

hi shocky

i have replaced your Asm code with SSE to get more FPS ,so please test it and feed back the results

I tried both, but your version lost about 10fps per frame, I don't know why you'd want to try and optimise something like this anyway?   It runs at well over 400fps on this modest pc as it is....

[Emil_halim]

It is really wierd. 

ok , i tried to optimized this part of asm code to increase the FPS with SSE , but it seems that SEE is not good with Modern computer , 3 years ago or more (with my Pentium 3) i was using MMX and SEE to speed some stuff such as Memory copy or filling memory with some code ad so on......

and it was very effective , so i want to try it with my Pentium 4 , and it seems that new SSE and SSE2 is not good with Modern computer and just wonder why Intel Made it. 

[Jim]

Emil, the problem is you're trying to optimise the wrong bit.  SSE can do amazing things when applied to the right problem , but memcpy/memclear isn't the best thing to use it for.  rep stosd is going to be within a few % of the fastest way to copy memory under any normal circumstance.  There have been a few CPUs where you'd have got some milage from SSE for this, but not really any more.  Try SSE for image processing, video decoding, signal processing at it will soar-away beat using standard FPU/CPU code even on a Core2.

Jim

[Emil_halim]

Yes Jim, you are right.

SSE is good for image processing, I tried it and the results was very good.

But I really did a SEE & MMX MemCpy/Filling and it was very very effective instead of using  rep stosd with PIII.

Anyway thanks for your explanation.

[Rbz]

Excelent work as always 

[rain_storm]

I was wondering which one you would pick to remake great choice Shocky

[Shockwave]

With luck I may be able to finish my second remake today. Thanks for the nice comments!

[Tetra]

Nice 1 Shocky
I quite like the Text, reminds me of somthing I tried to do in delhpi so many years ago.

[Shockwave]

You know, that Paranoimia one is probably one of the most famous cracktros ever made.. Paranoimia released so much stuff all the time, that cracktro was on everything for ages!
