As far as I know, they ran it on an emulator [Mednafen], to show it on the big screen, but they ran it on hardware as well. In fact, if you download the zip package, you have two builds of the demo. One for running on real hardware and second, optimized for use with emulators. WonderSwan emulators are a mess, anyway. There are four or five in total. WSCamp, Cygne, Oswan, Mednafen and maybe one more I can't remember. One of them has no sound emulation at all, another doesn't support the PCM channel [used extensively in this particular demo].
So, now that we have a proper demo, it's time for someone to build that flash cartridge! I wonder if Titan guys had the extremely rare Wonder Magic, or maybe built something of their own. If they did, it could hold their 16 megabit ROM image, which isn't bad.
EDIT - Doh! I only now read Alien's comment, which mentions custom hardware this was running on: "Awesome thx to jix for building all his own wonderswan hardware shizzles (...)" The capture comes from Mednafen, though.
EDIT Part Deux - Turns out Titan did run this on actual hardware during the compo. SwanCrystal's screen is pretty good, when properly lit. Too bad the sound is a bit out of sync at the beginning. I love how it looks live. Totally massive. European demoscene rocks.
