Dear visitor,
as you've probably noticed, the DHS.NU site have slowly but steady become less and less updated with
news over the last decade or so, to the point that it's only a handful of articles every year.
There are many factors playing in, but the most important have been that we need more editors, but a home cooked and unflexible way to
update the site with new content have been a show stopper.
But now, things change. A bunch of Atari demoscene veterans have joined forces to remedy the sitation.
We've opened a new site for news about
the Atariscene world. We hope it will be successful and live for many years to come.
DHS.NU will become a read only site in steps, starting with the news section. There are 1717 articles in
the archive spanning thirty years. We'll show a few random articles here on the front page and in the archive you can browse year over year.
We'd like to thank everyone who has visited DHS.NU to read demoscene news over the years and hope
you'll find Atariscne.org a good
replacement!
Blast from the past
(random news articles from 1995-2025)

Thanks to Deez / Mind Design for typing this report!
Mekka-Symposium 2002
Mekka.. biggest sceneparty of them all, no gamers, no warez and no leeching. All during easter in a small town in Germany. Is it worth attending? That was the question I think we all asked us before going there.
For me the trip started like a nightmare, SAS (the airline, not the special forces) lost my luggage on my way from UK to Sweden, luckily I was able to borrow sleepingbags and airbeds from other atarisceners at the party.
We had our own table reserved for the atariscene only, room for about 10-15 computers near the entrance and surrounded by PCs and the occasional c64. We had already planned to do some sort of demo so work started immediatly. However, since I didnt bring any sources at all I couldnt contribute very much but in the end we managed to finish atleast a short 96kbtro.
About 1400 sceners had found their way to Fallingbostel this year, mostly PC users and not as many amigas as I had expected. A few c64s and about 20 atariusers.
Personally I expected a lot of sceneactivity with C/asm sourcecodes on every other monitor and I was very disappointed to find the usual 'partyscenario' with porn/warez leeching and drunk/stoned people. Most annoying thing was (not surprisingly) the polish 'sceners', they kept drinking and running around with a polish flag. I spoke to a few other sceners (PC) and they were well pissed off because of them.
1400 is a huge amount of people, stuck in one big hall but a lot of people were interested in atari and falcondemos which was a nice surprise, I wish more atariusers had attended the party.
During the party I was very negativ towards going there again but now I have almost changed my mind, I dont mind attending Mekka again, as long as more of us go there. If we can boost some 50 atariusers I'm sure the organizers would let us participate in amigacompos if we wanted to. This is our chance to show the rest of the scene that atari is still alive!

We've been waiting for this one a little bit, but now finally Checkpoints demo from Sommarhack 2015 is here.
The demo is called 'Pulse', it works on normal ST and features SPKR, mOdmate, 505 and Ukko doing some of their best work ever.
Download it, feed your ST and enjoy!

Sine of Idemline was working with two contributions for the online compo (15k music) but didn't manage it in time. But instead of just skipping the entire thing, he finished anyway, just a little later.
So, like a lightning from clear sky, Idemline are back. Welcome :)
