Relaunch of www.qdev.de
After nearly four years of online presence it has come to a great demand to renew my homepage completely. The new pages are all bilingual (German/English) and most of the content has been improved. Originally I wanted to finish all this earlier, but the successful finish of my first university degree (informatics) as well as the work for the Amidock for OS4 were (reasonable) more important.

Amiga Speed with first Voodoo4 and new Voodoo5 reviews
The gfx board Voodoo4 has been tested regarding its speed by Amiga Speed and surprises with its good performance. It even beats the Voodoo5 in most cases, which can probably be attributed to the chip design and the better drivers. However, the specifics have yet to be worked out. Please inform yourself under 2D Gfx (Voodoo4) about the current 2D performance and under Payback, Heretic2 and Q***e about the current 3D performance. The new Voodoo5 results can be found under 2D Gfx (Voodoo5) and Heretic2.

Furthermore, a new survey has been started, this time with the topic AmigaOne. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Tool: Rainboot4 in development
Rainboot4 is currently in development.

In prior versions Rainboot was only a program to show stunning demos during the Amiga's boot process. But with Version 4 it made its step to become a complete multimedia authoring system, which means that it has now a programming script language, which allows the programmer to create applications in a very easy way.

The programmer can use many of Rainboot4's functions which save him a lot of time. For example, you do not have to care if your application runs on Picasso96, Cgfx, AGA or ECS. That's Rainboot4's thing now! It does everything for you and it does it system friendly. Here's a short overview what's currently possible: more ... (sd) (Translation: cb)

Sowjet speech encryption machine for telephone and radio
Right before the summer break a software premiere: the simulation of the Sowjet speech encryption machine "Elbrus". This is a military encryption device for telephone and radio that had been used at the USSR army and the NVA of the GDR. The signal is analogue encoded using a digital code i.e. you get an encrypted audio signal that can be broadcasted directly (without modem) analogue via telephone or radio. With the program you can en-/decode own audio files (or an audio stream of the AHI device). The program should be unique in the Web and is for now exclusively available for the Amiga (68k and PPC). A detailed description and a sound example can be found following the title link. (ps) (Translation: wk)

VIVA-Text: Amigas classical games on Gameboy Advance
About ten years ago the successful story of "Pinball Fantasies" started on the Amiga. Now the flipper simulation is supposed to capture the Gameboy Advance. There are eight different tables to chose which have been originally taken from the games "Pinball Fantasies" and "Pinball Dreams". Diverse ramps, traps and hills are supposed to make a new highscore more difficult. (ps) (Translation: dr)

There is a new version of AmiStart of Darius Brewka. The new version offers an improved and extended GUI, antialiased Truetype-font support and much more. The new AmiStart version will be published on Aminet in some days. But GFX-Base offers already now the full archive for download and besides this you can look at some new screenshots and get information about further details of the program. Additionally you can read the interview with Darius Brewka and the question&answers of AmiStart.

Because of professional reasons I give up all activities on the Amiga. This year I will still manage the AMIGAplus forum but I have been already looking for an user who will do it afterwards. Furthermore the projects "AmiBlitz" and "Stahl2003" are involved. The last mentioned one was a game project for AmigaPPC but it will be published only on Windows PCs because of the negative Amiga market.

Thank you for having 12 years fun with the Amiga and I wish all Amiga users a good prospect in which I cannot believe no more. I regret the farewell but I do not want to waste my time with an antiquated system which has no future. Cya Folks, may the Force be with you! (ps) (Translation: dr)
