Atariscne.Org
Dear visitor,

as you've probably noticed, the DHS.NU site have slowly but steady become less and less updated with news over the last decade or so, to the point that it's only a handful of articles every year.

There are many factors playing in, but the most important have been that we need more editors, but a home cooked and unflexible way to update the site with new content have been a show stopper.

But now, things change. A bunch of Atari demoscene veterans have joined forces to remedy the sitation. We've opened a new site for news about the Atariscene world. We hope it will be successful and live for many years to come.

DHS.NU will become a read only site in steps, starting with the news section. There are 1717 articles in the archive spanning thirty years. We'll show a few random articles here on the front page and in the archive you can browse year over year.

We'd like to thank everyone who has visited DHS.NU to read demoscene news over the years and hope you'll find Atariscne.org a good replacement!


Blast from the past

New Beat starts an ACE Tracker module compo May 8th, 2003
Follwing the release of the long awaited ACE Tracker a few weeks ago, New BEats opens an ACE Tracker competition.

The rules (snipped from New Beats homepage):

The modules should be created using ACE Tracker.
Maximum size is 1 Mb per module.
Maximum tracks allowed are 8 for modules using samples/waves and 12 for modules using waves only. The reason for this is that also standard Falcon030 computers should be able to play the modules.
The contestor is allowed to contribute with a maximum of two modules per competition.
Modules should be sent to newbeat@atari.org with information about the composer's name and e-mail address.
Last date for sending in modules is July 1, 2003.
Modules that do not fulfill rules 1-6 above will be disqualified.

Altparty 2009 Atari releases October 25th, 2009
The compos at Altparty 2009 just ended, and there were two new Atari demos.
We released a new STe demo called 'Cernit Trandafir', again with fullscreens and stuff. You can download it and watch a video recording, check the links below.

On the more surprising front, Rave Network Overscan with Britelite in the front have finally made their first Atari release :-) It's a demo for plain STs and is available for download below here as well.

Altparty was once again a very well organised event in a big cool hall, some good concerts and seminars. We'll be back in 2010 most likely. Thanks Garbagetruck, Partycle, Setok and the rest!

The entries to the maxYMiser 2006 online compo are now available for all to enjoy in the form of an Atari demo and MP3 collection :)

Graphics: C-Rem, ST Survivor, Manou, Exocet
Music: 505, Evil, Frequent, gwEm, Makton, Marcer, Rubbish, Starbuck
Code: gwEm

Requirements: Atari 16/32, 1Mb+, Colour display (DMA audio recommended) or MP3 player.

Don't forget to choose your favourites with the EuroVision-style voting before 8th Jan :)

I've decided to change my plans and send all musicians competing a small thing, because I think every music is cool. The winner gets the biggest prize of all - honour, so be careful in your voting!

Oxygene February 20th, 1999
Finally Leonard has released the Nostalgic-o-demo for ST/STe machines. The demo has a very well-choosen name. Almost all screens are in a very old fashion, that has been seen countless of times before.

A few parts stand out from the other, the intro especially. It's a really awesome 3d-world (bsp-tree, like the eko-system on falcon), too bad we didn't get more of this. There is also a quite nice texturemap/envmap screen from Overlanders, but doesn't come near the efforts by .tSCc. in framrate and size.

Also, cream has a screen that demonstrates their SID Emulator and plays the Union-demo original SID songs. The rest of the screens are as said above, old stuff, maybe a bit optimized.
