Here is a 40 minute long recording of 'Pushing The Envelope', and Oric Slide-Show/Music-Disk presented at The Payback 2014 demo party in Finland when it did 2nd place out of 3 in the '8bit compo'.

The main reason for why this demo exist, was to be a concrete example of how to use our new FloppyBuilder system, which allows developers to get as much as possible disk space and performance from the Oric disk drive hardware.

FloppyBuilder is a part of the OSDK (http://www.osdk.org) and uses a floppy description scripts and custom loader code to load and decompress in real-time, allowing for small animations and even music (with a bit of distortion...) to happen at the same time.
