That looks awesome.

I used to do a lot of "fractal art" type stuff when I was a kid in the early '90s.

Any chance in convincing you to create a burnable ISO of that? I'd love to run it on the real hardware.

Hahaha, that's awesome  8) .

That's pretty awesome, even though I don't really get how it works.

Thanks for the demo, Chris!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

OK, I've added an ISO of my demo: http://www.disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/data/FractalEngine.zip

Please let me know if you have problems getting it to work on your SCD systems.

Chris, you are the MAN.

I can't wait to get home and give it a try.

The iso works flawlessly on my US duo :D. I burned the iso with nero express at 8x.

Looks like that weird giant amoeba type alien thing from that episode of Star Trek (TOS).  :wink: Very cool.
