Game: Amerikan Chajnik In Russia
This game dedicated to all "Simpsons" cartoon fans. But now Homer Simpson adventures are in Russia. The word "chajnik" in title mean "dummy" (it's Russian slang). This is first (not last, I hope) big game project from Russia. Autor -- Vladimir Berezenko aka Q-Master. Original version of this game was developed by Vlad Scherbakov and Renat Farhulin (aka Mr. Gluk) for ZX-Spectrum (yea, this computer still popular here in Russia).

There are English text strings in the game - you have to click on "AMERIKA" on the title screen to play in English instead of Russian.

There also is an English text version of this game. To play this you have to click on "Amerika" on the title screen. (ps)

Audio: ProStationAudio Update - 24bit Import
Beyond 16bit audio.

The current trend in the audio industry is to propose alternatives to 16bit audio storage. Efforts are targeting opposite directions: uncompressed high resolution (24bit/96KHz) and high compression ratios (MPEG).

In order to keep up to date in handling data generated by latest Mac and Windows audio applications the new ProStationAudio 4.10 now can import and convert to 16bit for multitrack editing from:
  • 24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) AIFF (Macintosh)
  • 24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) WAV (Windows)
  • Raw MP3 files
  • WAV MP3 files (0x55 format)
  • WAV MP3 files (0x50 format)
  • Shoutcast live streaming MP3
Enhancements over 4.05 include a mouse-over capability that allows to inspect objects' attributes by moving the mouse pointer over the timeline, and fixes. The product is ready now, there's no new public demo for 4.10.

ProStationAudio 4.10 will also be available to current customers in a few days, free update as always.

ProStationAudio runs on AmigaOS (classic only) systems (Amigas and Dracos). An additional version for Windows is in the works. (ps)

Amiga Inc.: AmigaDE and AmigaOS Beta Testers Wanted (Update)
Amiga Inc. announced on the AMIPRESS mailing list following official news concerning the beta tests of AmigaOS 4.0 and AmigaDE.

From:     Ray A. Akey 
To:       press@lists.amiga.com
Subject:  AMIPRESS: FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
AmigaDE and AmigaOS beta testers wanted
Date:     Mon, 21 May 2001 04:11:50 -0400

Beta Testers and Developers

Amiga Inc. is looking for beta testers to test AmigaOS
4.0 and AmigaDE third party applications for Amiga
developers. Payment for all beta testers will be one
licensed copy of whatever you test.

Please follow the procedure below:

To be considered, you must point your browser to
http://www.amigadev.net. Look to the right hand menu bar
and click the link that says "Join Amiga Support".

Fill in the form as completely as possible. In the text
block, list any Amiga applications you have beta tested.
Once the form is completely filled in, click "save".

Then, log in to the amigadev site using your new ADxxxx
number that you will receive from filling in the form.
Look to the right hand menu bar under "Legal" and grab a
copy of the Amiga Inc. NDA. Fill in the NDA and fax to
425-396-5660 Attn: Gary or mail to:

Amiga Inc.
Attn: Gary
34935 SE Douglas #210
Snoqualmie, Wa 98065

Amiga Inc. is also requesting all active AmigaOS and
AmigaDE developers to follow the above procedures with
the exception of filling in the form as a "developer"
rather than a "beta tester". Send us a copy of the NDA.

Once a developer has his AD number and NDA in to Amiga
Inc. proper permissions will be set so that you can
reach NDA areas of the web site.

If you have properly installed the AmigaDE SDK you will
already have an AD number.

This one number is good for any and all installations
and testings.

For immediate publication.

Eyetech: Price for AmigaOne not announced, yet
Alan Redhouse of Eyetech has posted to the comments of ANN a comment about the mentioned price for the AmigaOne boards. He said that Eyetech did not announce prices for their own AmigaOne computer, yet. This is also applies to price declarations for vendors.

The price independently mentioned by 'epic/amigastuff' he thinks to be for testing purposes to find out about market reactions.

«1. no dealers have yet been announced
2. no pricing has yet been announced to any dealers
3. epic/amigastuff are just guessing to test the market reaction IMO.
4. none of this helps anybody.
