FUBAR - New War Simulation
The new game "FUBAR" by Rosande Ltd. is distributed by Blittersoft and will probably be released in November 2000. But it can be ordered in advance in the shops from now on! At Q-Lab you can buy a cd with musics of FUBAR. FUBAR is a war simulation. The scenario of the game shows you what happens if a war begins, and forces you as the player to take all necessary steps to finish the war. The conception of the game is to rule the whole world, all countries, and all people. To be successful you can slip into different roles, because ruling the world is not an easy task.

You will be the general of thousands of armies, the president of the whole mankind, but in addition the leading scientist, manager, diplomat, and banker. Each of this roles is in touch with the military, civilians, research, financial world, and has got connections to other competitors who are striking for the same goal as you do.

John-Sinclair-Encyclopedia-CD-ROM
The very extensive John-Sinclair-Encyclopedia by Bastei dealing with the most successful series of horror stories of the world can be ordered on CD-ROM. Because this encyclopedia is fully based on HTML (optimised for IE, but can be viewed using any other browser) AMIGA-Users are able to use this, too. In addition the CD-ROM offers the radio-book "Daemonenhochzeit" for listening as mp3 file, a composed version of the JS-Comic, short texts for each novel, pictures of the title of the magazins, and of the paperbacks, and much much more. You can order the CD-ROM at the title link in the seperate Online-Shop.

Heise: Initiative Bill against Internet-Patents in the USA
Howard Berman and Rick Boucher, two congressmen of the democrats, have introduced an initiative bill which is supposed to restrict the possibility to patent business methods in the USA. Above all the Business Method Patent Improvement Act addresses the rapidly increasing use of patents for business methods. Crucial point of the act is the declarative statement, that implementation of so called "Real-World"-business processes on computers does not worthy being patented. In addition the representatives want to establish the possibility of raising an objection against patents without being forced to bring such action at law. See titlelink for full article (German).

Heise: Microsoft Aquires 25 Percent of Corel
«By a 135 million USD investment, Microsoft supports the stumbling Canadian software manufacturer Corel. As Corel announced on Monday, the software giant from Redmond purchased 24 million non-voting shares at 5.625 USD each. Those can be converted into fully voting shares; holding almost 25 percent of the entire capital stock would make Microsoft one of the largest shareholder of Corel.»

Modification of Hypercom 3plus Module (Goldsurfer) for IOBlix Emulation Mode
The new Hypercom software (v2.96+) can emulate the IOBlix parallel ports, so parallel-port scanners and ZIP-drives can be used with the Hypercom. The Hypercom Zorro cards are already primed for this, however the modules for the A1200, Buddha, Catweasel and the X-Surf (also sold as "Goldsurfer) need a minor technical modification. At the title link, you will find a detailed technical description including pictures.

Eternity - New Distributor of the MAS-player
Since October 1st, 2000 Eternity took over the distribution of the MAS-Player in cooperation with Dirk Conrad. The MAS-Player is a hardware MP3-player that can be used with every Amiga parallel interface. The program plays MP3's in 18bit and 44kHz with very low CPU usage and is therefore the best and cheapes solution for playing MP3-files with an Amiga computer.

A techpage will follow. Eternity will ask Thomas Wenzel if he would support the MAS-Player with his AmigaAmp. Eternity will offer a 6 month guarantee.

Examples of Usage:
  • Amiga 4000/A1200 with MAS-Player. Listen to MP3-music without using the PPC or 68k processor. Your processor is available for other tasks
  • Amiga CDTV with MAS-Player could play MP3's directly from CD.
  • Amiga 500/600 with MAS-Player could be a replacement for your hifi-radio. The integrated MP3-player-software uses PAL. There for you can use a TV.
  • Amigas located in professional soundstudios could encode MP3 (using the processor) and play MP3's at the same time (using the MAS-Player)

New LAMEbeta Version 3.87
New LAME beta version 3.87! Ok, first off, since version 3.87 LAME no longer works with SecondSpin without changing the code and recompiling, thus LameSpin no longer works, and is no longer included, sorry! :/

On the good note this version is slightly faster, especially the PPC version! ;) (Note, WarpOS still has problems .. this is most likely either ppclibemu or WarpOS's fault since it works fine with PowerUP and MorphOS) From now on the 060 and PPC version use LAME's internal mpglib for decoding, so if you still want to use mpega.library (which is much faster), use the 040 version...

New CD-Rom for Movieshop
Starding today the 3rd issue of 'Space-Effects' is available from Elastic Images. The CD contains video sequences that can be used in (mainly Movieshop) video productions. The scenes are available as Movieshop's own sequence format and as single-frame-sequences, so you can use the clips with every Movieshop version.

Every clip can be integrated in a currently opend Movieshop project directly from CD. A short preview is available at the homepage at 'Software/Video-CDs'.

AmiWolfenDoom Website Moved, and one Appeal
The AmiWolfenDoom homepage has moved and is now available at www.antibyte.de (titlelink). Robert Wahnsiedler is still on the hunt for a person that is able to modify the ADoom-engine for making Ninja-, Simpson and Batman-Doom possible. According to the downloadrates of AmiWolfenDoom the interest of the users is very high.

For the modifycations you must have C/Assembler skills and you have to read the docs. There are no major changes to make but the DEH support must be revisde (patch of the internal graphic/sound/textroutines by using a Ascii-file with commands). For example there is no recognition of text. This causes games that use these kind of functions to crash.

appeal
Furthermore Robert Wahnsiedler is looking for someone who is willing to modify the game Imperium Terranum II for the Amiga community. The sourcecode is public available and there is an absolutely resourceful StarTrek addon available. The main problem is that it does not run very good on graphics boards, the only way is to use a tool like NewMode, but this is a not very stable solution. If you are interested, please contact Robert Wahnsiedler.

Amiga Arena News
The TextLoaderNG keyfile is now freely available for all Amiga users! Every visitor of Amiga Arena can download the keyfile. After releasing it for Amiga Arena CD ROM users Pascal Gisin agreed to release the keyfile for all users. I would like to say thank you for doing so!

TextLoaderNG is a Hex editor with many functions, for example:
  • Filter for Word, Wordperfect, MSWork, ANSI, FinalWriter, Wordworth and many more
  • HTML-code removing
  • converter
  • text encoding

The development of TextloaderNG will go on and the program will run without a keyfile in future.
