To celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, I've created a YouTube video showcasing the PSX T-Rex Dino tech demo with fun facts and easter eggs.

Dedicated to the late Bernie Stolar

I was actually showing the demo yesterday. It's a shame w hat's happened to Tommy though, with the whole Intellivision Amico nonsense and all. I've unfortunately lost his respect in recent years.

I got mine from a vendor at PAX East in Boston ten years ago. Apparently, there are a few European variations of the Dino tech demo—one that reflects the T-Rex from the European demo1 disc with a VCD mode, and another that features the manta ray and the T-Rex from the Developer's Disc.

I believe I have the T-Rex demo source code if anyone wants it.

If you could share it via Direct Message or Google Drive, that'd be great!

I'm pretty sure it's part of the Pro SDK as demo code for TMD vector animation/morphing (VDF files, vector deformation format, maybe?? ), I think the animation might have been created with Sony's mimewave program, I've mentioned it before here regard no$psx and 8MB PS-X exe's.

Here is the Net Yaroze version of the dino demo: https://github.com/gwald/netyaroze_demo ... demos/dino


@MasterLink What does Tommy Tallarico have to do with the PSX developer demo disc?
He didn't create a console but he sure created something very entertaining during the lock downs!

As long as my memory hasn't gone too far south, if I recall he did one of the music tracks on the disc, or was involved with one of them.

Thanks for sharing. Tommy composed the PlayStation demo soundtracks (please check out the YouTube video I provided when you have time). The tracks were also featured in his second album in 1996.
