My NAS is dead

Sadly the inevitable has happened, and my NAS drive which contains all of my CODEF stuff has died.....
Luckily all of my completed screens and master scripts are on my webserver, but all of the incomplete stuff (several screens) and test area (trying out new effects etc) has all gone :-(

I hope the have the NAS repaired and back up by the weekend, but sadly lots of stuff is lost - so it may be a while before my next screen hits.

I hope to be bringing you a new screen soon!

California Pro Golf cracktro by The Beastie Boys on the C64

I fancied doing another C64 cracktro, so this weekend I found a good example, with a fantastic .SID tune that I thought could do with some CODEF treatment! :-)

This is the California Pro Golf cracktro as brought to you by The Beastie Boys - some nice GFX and an awesome version of the Pet Shop Boys 'Always on my Mind' as a soundtrack!

I hope you like it!

Army Moves Cracktro by The Blade Runners - Atari ST

It's been a few weeks since my last screen - been a bit busy at work, but tonight some light relief in the shape of an old-old-school screen by The Blade Runners on the ST! The Army Moves cracktro!

I hope you like it - the only "error" is the fact that I couldn't find the correct music, so I used the music from another BR cracktro from the same era! (If anyone knows the correct music, please let me know so I can correct it!)

Enjoy!

www.wab.com is down

Sad days folks, my good friend Antoine 'NoNameNo' Santo had has his domain www.wab.com hacked and stolen. Which means his website which hosts all the greatest CODEF screens is no longer accessible. :-(

Until further notice, please use wab.santo.fr instead! :-)

As soon as any further updates on this are available, I will post updates here - also @alonetrio is Antoines' Twitter handle, which he will of course update as required.

UPDATE: It looks as thought the www.wab.com domain is BACK in Antoines' hands! He has just posted THIS...

Legacy of Kain Dreamcast Cracktro by Paradox!

After my 4 week break from CODEF, here is another screen... and back to the Dreamcast for another Cracktro this time!

Paradox's Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver.... remade in CODEF for you to enjoy!

B17 Flying Fortress Cracktro by PSI from the Amiga!

After a few weeks away from CODEF - lots of things going on, busy at work etc., I'm back and return with a quick cracktro from the Amiga!

B17 Flying Fortress as brought to you by PSI - Plasma Shadow Inc.

A cool screen, nice text effect, and some mellow music to enjoy - although very old school Soundtracker!! :-)

Enjoy!

Amiga Workbench 2.0x Shell Decruncher Library

I decided to make a new Amiga Decrunch library today, to show off another alternative rather than just Workbench 1.3 & Workbench 3.1. So using the old ones as a base, I made a new alternative to choose from, based on Workbench 2.0x (as used on the Amiga A600).

There's only one decrunch type to choose from, but with a variable parameter for the amount of time the decrunch runs for.

1) Plain Shell, and then colour bars decrunching (shell disappears)

The library is available (or can be linked to) at http://codef.namwollem.co.uk/JS/CODEF/codef_2.0amigadecrunch.js

The sample screen HERE shows how it works, and obviously feel free to use it if you like it!

P.S. A fix is now in place for Firefox users! ;-)

Skies of Arcadia Cracktro-Trainer by Echelon (Dreamcast)

I'd just finished the first Echelon remake, then I found this one, so I thought I might as well do this one too! :-)

This is the Cracktro/Trainer for Skies of Arcadia on the Dreamcast, brought by Echelon!

Check out the CODEF remake here...

Echelon Dreamcast Cracktro for Sega Tennis 2K2

I saw this cool intro on Youtube the other day, for a cracktro on the Dreamcast console!
It was by Echelon and for Tennis 2K2 (which I assume is Sega Tennis 2002)!

It featured a really cool jelly cube effect. and a few other nice touches, so I thought as I hadn't done a console cracktro remake for an age, it was time for another one! :-)

There are a few things which are not 100% correct - mainly because I could not get a Dreamcast emulator to work correctly, and boot the file with the cracktro on it!

So, more of a homage than a remake, but nonetheless, here it is!

TCB DigiRoutine screen from The Cuddly Demos (Atari ST) Remake

On the hunt for another TCB screen to remake in CODEF, I came across this one, which although uses a large sample (in MP3 format), has some cool effects, so tonight I made this....

Luckily not much GFX ripping required, as most of the elements I already had, so a few lines of code later, here is the TCB Digi screen from The Cuddly Demos (from the Atari ST of course)!
