I reserve the right to change any of the files and filenames you can find here.
This page is under construction, so don't ever expect it to look the same from
day to day. If you want to link to the files, please make the link to http://mahoney.c64.org
All of these .d64-files are disk images of Commodore 64 floppy discs, and can
be viewed on a PC with programs like Vice, Frodo or CCS64. I think I have managed
to collect all the C64 demos I've ever made. If you think I am wrong, then please
contact me. Well, I am missing "CCC Demo I", but I would be very surprised
if this is still on an error-free floppy disk on this planet!
If you want to read the source code for the older c64 demos, I'll have to tell
you that there was never any source code. The Commodore 64 had only 64kB of
memory, so there would not be room for any large text files in memory at the
same time as the demo itself. All these demos were made with a rom monitor called
"Dismon", a 4kB disassembler that I relocated to different memory
location depending on where there was room for it. All code was written directly
into the correct memory location, and "relocating code" was done by
hand. It wasn't easy being a programmer in 1985!
All of these .sid-files can be played on a PC with programs like SidPlay, DeliPlayer
or WinAmp (together with a SID-plugin). These files are also part of the excellent
HVSC-collection of SID tunes, under "/various/M-R/Mahoney/".
Mahoney's Amiga Demos
I think I am lacking some of my demos from the Amiga500-era, but I don't know
what that would be, really. Hmmm. If you know something that is missing, please
contact me!
When using WinUAE for emulation, it is quite hard to recreate the Amiga as
it was back in 1988. They have made a great emulator, and put a lot of time
into it, but it will never be perfect. If you don't have the time, you will
probably never get it to work. At the time of writing this, WinUAE is at version
0822R6. My hints for setting up WinUAE for the best emulation of Mahoney &
Kaktus demos are:
RAM: 500kB Chipmem and 1MB slowmem. Nothing else.
ROM: Use the Amiga kickstart v1.2 rom.
CPU: 68000, more compatible, Match A500 speed.
Display: 800*600, don't correct aspect ratio, no centering, doubled line mode.
Chipset: OCS, Cycle exact CPU and Blitter, no collision level.
Sound: Enabled, 100% accurate. 44,1kHz mono.
Floppies: Use both DF0: and DF1: for His Master's Noise.
HardDrive: Disable. I never owned any harddrive for my Amiga500, so just disable
it!
Although you've made every possible "right" configuration, you will
not see the demos as they were supposed to be. There's nothing like the real
thing, you know! And, you'll probably need a 4GHz PC with the above settings
if you want the music to run without hiccups. If it's only the music you want
to hear, make the display lo-res and turn all those knobs, and maybe you'll
get it!

Note that some of the modules will have bugs in the playback with all known
PC module players. This is due to that in many demos where I synced events
in the demo with the music, I used commands that these newer PC module players
erroneously interpret as "newer-version-trackers commands". Which
they aren't.
Most modules from His Master's Noise uses special chip-sounds
or fine-tuning of samples that never was a part of the standard NoiseTracker
v2.0 command set. So if you want to listen to them correctly use an Amiga
emulator and run the demo! DeliPlayer does a good job of playing them (there
are some occasional error mostly concerning vibrato and portamento effects,
but I can live with that!), and it can be downloaded from http://www.deliplayer.com
I know that some of my modules from various demos are not in the zip-file above.
I guess I'll have to extract them from my demos to include them here. But before
that's done, I kindly ask you to emulate the demo when you want to listen to
it. This includes these songs:
- Hallonsaft
- Blue 1
- Blue 2
- Unofficial Flummy intro
- Exceller 8 #2-tune
- Scrolly 2 (the BMX-kids cover)
- ...and a few more that I've forgotten!
By request from jfsebastian: If you want to get hold of all of the tunes from
His Master's Noise, and not only the ones I created, then you should complete
your collection by downloading this zip file: Mahoney_HisMastersNoise_tunes_by_others_15thApril2004.zip -
Use Deliplayer to
listen to them.
Mahoney's Amiga Source Code disks
I will try to locate and dust off some of my old disks. This is how far
I've come today:
HisMastersNoiseTracker_source.zip
- The development floppy for His Master's NoiseTracker. I used AsmOne
for assembling it.
Mahoney_Amiga500_sourcecode_collection_6thOct2003.zip
- Some source code files I've found. This zip file includes:
- HallonBoot v1.5-v2.0e
- His Master's Noise loader+demo+resetpart+tracker
- NoiseTracker20
- NoiseTracker20demo
- NoiseTracker20images
- SoundsOfGnome
- SoundsOfGnome, musicians disk
- Funny
- Blue
- A "transfer screenshots from AtariST to Amiga500 with a Midi-cable"
program I made with full source code.
- ...and a lot of "unreleased" material, like "Balls",
"Rotat", "Vreng" and "Zlobby".
I'll be adding files here when I find them! |

Mahoney's Nintendo 64 demo
Download the demo here: Mahoney_Nintendo64-Vokalas_demo_14apr1999.zip
(740kB)
Emulators for the Nintendo64 includes "project64 v1.5" and
"mupen v0.31", but none of them are able to correctly emulate
the demo. You'll have to use a "Doctor64jr" cartridge emulator
inserted into the parallell port of the PC and also into a real Nintendo64
game console.

Mahoney's Vectrex demo
Download the demo here: very_vectight_by_Pex_Mahoney_Tufvesson (10kB)
For the best experience, get a flash cartridge for your Vectrex and use the binary above. Or, IMHO, the currently best emulator for the Vectrex game console is the ParaJVE. Search the net, you'll find it! |

Mahoney's NES music
There are lots of emulators of the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System. You can download the files that can be run in a NES-emulator or with the real thing here. This zip file includes the Blue Damage song. |

Mahoney's hardware projects
I've also made some fun projects by custom built hardware. Download one of
them here:
PexTufvesson
- Marvin_HC11_robot.zip. This was a robot running on the floor at approximately
5cm/second, that would avoid running into walls and furniture, while following
light or darkness. It could also be controlled with a VCR remote control, and
a port of the Commodore 64 game "Dare Devil Dennis" could be played
on a 2*20 character graphical display using the remote control while the robot
is moving by itself!
The "Musik fram till nu" CD 1992-1997
This CD was released in 1997, and contains music that I
made during the years 1992-1997.
Track number 02 "Teknologlåt" is the most interesting.
This is a dance track about how wonderful life is at "LTH",
Lund Institute of Technology. It was played frequently at the student
pub "Lophtet" as parts of celebrating
a successful exam (or drowning the memories of a failure with beer!).
The rapping is done by Anette Kiss and Pex. The lead singing is done
by Anja Morell. It was recorded in the studio "köket" in Staffanstorp,
Sweden, 1994.
The booklet and cover was drawn by me with 4 ballpoint pen - green,
red, blue and black. Download the cover images for printing: booklet and inlay (1MB
each) |
