Hiya and welcome to the first dynamix demo on the nintendo 64!!! since this is our first release we'd like to introduce ourselves. Currently Dynamix consists of two members: Immortal and Widget. You are probably wondering why we chose the name 'Dynamix', besides the fact that the name has a nice ring to it, it has been a very cool group in PC scene with people like Bluewater, Razor, Sharp, Hoson, etc… As some of you may know this demo has been delayed some weeks. We don't wanna bore you with details but besides lack of time and stupid typo's. It's mostly due to the Doc64 lack of quality. Widget's Doc currently has a corrupt memory module and a exploded power supply. So he'll probably won't see the final version of this demo till next week. 'Long live vd64' my ass. Still it's the best equipment for developing, let's wait and see what the Z64 can do. It's time for demo credits: Immortal coded the 3D object part and the GL2C converter, Widget coded the 2D sprite part and PPM2C convertor. And featuring as guest coder we have Lac!!! He coded and let us use Lacmod!!! The S3M module you are listening to is called 'Ode 2 Jodie Sweetin' and is composed by Cygnes. Ok ok ok. It's time for the greetings and hello's, all in non-logical order: Lac, Stan, Twinnie, Locke, Nagra, Jovis, Jihad, Uxorious, Fractal, Datawiz, Oman, Silo, Kid Stardust, Rene, Sispeo, Titanik, Wildfire, Steve, Fusionman, Stumble, Tazdevil, Speedy-G, Wizard, RIP, Conmango, Superdoc, Matzer, Nil, Fredro and ofcoz Lac hehehehe.. That's all for this introduction, if you wanna contact us, Join N64dev on Efnet IRC. Wrap

This is a demo in the same vein as all the others that deal with introductions. In the Dextrose days, people would often introduce themselves to the community by making a demo to show that they are worthy, and this is the one for the Dynamix group.
At the time of release, this ROM announced that Dynamix consisted of Immortal and Widget, but it is implied that they left it open for other people to join if they wanted.
The demo itself is there to showcase that they can set up the basics of maing an Nintendo 64 ROM: 2D visuals, 3D models and sound. It seems to have completed that goal pretty well, even though they’re fairly basic.
The ROM mentions that the ROM has been delayed due to technical issues, and the accompanying text says that there will be an update in a week. As far as I know, there is no other publicly released version of the Intro.
There are a few other small parts that other people played such as Fractal doing the logo design and LaC doing the lacmod player. The music playing throughout the ROM is called Ode 2 Jodie Sweetin by Cygnes, released in 1996.
3D Logo with all letters synced 
2D logo all smushed up.
I think that the ROM is a very good first attempt. The music is nice, the graphics show that they are capable and it loops nicely. The only thing I’d change is that the text seems to me to be a bit too focused on what was happening at that moment rather than trying to make something a bit more timeless.
Overall Dynamix is a good ROM to start your group out with.
