Worth a try I guess. Whats the command magic for that?

There are a couple of demos that don't play nice on NTSC machines, and basically hang the machine. I need to modify the script to report what's being played so I can identify the culprits. Just need some free time...

Aye but the point of the demo CD was also a regression test to make me fix these things :D

You can always leave them on the CD if there is space, and least they should be able to be run by Boot No Startup Sequence and manually running them.

The demos are numbered and not easily identified...

The following demos crash on NTSC machines thus dampening the enjoyment somewhat:

Last Goat Standing by Noice
Reboxer by Elude
Tint by TBL
We Can Code Again
We come in peace by Elude
Captured Dreams - The Black Lotus
Serenity by Elude
Lightshaft by Elude
Rise and shine by Elude
Dust by Elude
Machinist by Elude
Step by step by Elude
Hexel by Ephidrena (only music plays but no video)

The following runs fine but fails to quit at the end:

Magia - The Black Lotus
