A downloadable C64 Demo Maker

There have been many utilities in the past that allowed you to create your own one-file demos, complete with music and a scroll text. However, never has there been an existing utility that allows to display 2 koala paint pictures. That is until today. Behold the:

Koala Paint Demo / Loader Maker

The Koala Paint Demo / Loader Maker utility has some useful features:

Graphics support: You can load in two images saved as multicolour bitmap (Koala Paint Format).
Load in your custom 1x1 font.
Load in some cool music of up to 4K and set its init/play parameters (music load from $1000-$1fff or lower end address).
Write your own scroll text, customise the colour and delay of the text fader and even expand the Y size of the sprite scroll.
Save out your finished masterpiece as either a standalone demo (which resets the C64 after finishing display of the second bitmap) or as a loader system.
Compatible with MOST disk drives (the last device no. is automatically detected)
PAL/NTSC Compatible

When you save your finished demo/loader. It is strongly advised that you use a packer/cruncher. You can use any native C64 packer/cruncher or use a cross platform cruncher like Exomizer or Dali.
