Happy Easter from Cloanto / Amiga Forever 6.0
Cloanto wish a peaceful and happy Easter holiday and present the updated Amiga Forever website, which includes the new features of version 6.0 compared to its predecessor. Some work would still be needed on the website, though, and comments are always very welcome.
The new features of Amiga Forever 6.0 compared to version 5.3:
- Preinstalled Amiga applications more than doubled (both in the 3.x and in the 1.3 environments)
- Support for hard disks larger than 4 GB, mouse wheel, AHI, MUI, etc.
- Built-in web browser (great for cross-browser web design testing)
- CDs are now automounted in real time (includes CacheCDFS file system)
- Built-in CD audio player and media player
- New Amiga ROM and OS files (as in Amiga OS "3.5" and "3.9", but also historical items such as the Amiga 1000 boot ROM)
- New reference configurations (for A500, A1200, CDTV, CD³², etc.)
- More than 10 "First Demos" (Boing, Robo-City, Juggler, etc.) added to 1.3 environment
- More realistic emulation (e.g. floppy disk drive sound, which makes an unexpected big difference in perception, but also required the addition of a good old "noclick" utility ;-)
- New documentation (HTML shared by both Amiga and host OS)
- Amiga Explorer 6.0 software
- New launcher panel with one-click controls
- New Software Manager for easy emulation news and updates
The CD Edition of Amiga Forever additionally includes the following new features:
- Boot from CD option (featuring the KX Light GNU/Linux distribution)
- New Gallery section (includes 1985 Byte Magazine reprint)
- New high quality videos (includes Launch of Amiga New York event)
- New preinstalled games (Mindwalker, Ports of Call, Deluxe Galaga, etc.)
