Dedicated to the late Bernie Stolar
Highlights -

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.
@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.

Thank you! That really means a lot. I wanted to create something that not only celebrates the importance of PlayStation's Dino Demo, but also honors the memories and impact it's had on so many of us.

Unfortunately that person is a bot with a scam hidden in the signature, but we are thankful for the demo you posted and shared with us.
