my comment over there just made me recall this
this demo is the next one in a long arc of people doing absolutely remarkable things to the original PC. that series went 8088 corruption (pouet) -> 8088 domination -> 8088 mph and if you’ve never seen them before, you absolutely should
area 5150 has a recording of the production as well as an audience reaction recording from share day
it’s astoundingly awesome
something I really enjoy about the scene is that the more you learn (about the technology, the math, the methodology), the deeper the appreciation of it gets
for mph they did, I haven’t seen anything to the same level for 5150 as yet but also I haven’t really gone digging
also
yeah that was about my reaction too
edit: the 8088 mph post. I think 5150 was a refinement of the mph techniques? e.g. that post has references to how they achieve wider colour. worth asking them, I guess
