Sound card: Realtime effects for Delfina
Who's owning a Delfina sound card will receive some nice realtime effects with "DelfLuxe", such like filters (band-passes, low-passes, flanger, allpas-phaser), reverberation, distorter, similar to the effects of my sound synthesis program Assampler. Who additionally has a MIDI interface can access the parameter from MIDI devices, too, e.g. the claviature, the pitch-bender or the modulation-wheel. Furthermore it is possible to combine the software modules of the card using "DelfSetPipeMui", which has a MUI interface. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Virus Help Denmark: xfdmaster.library Version 39.13
Dirk Stöcker updated his xfdmaster.library which is very important, since almost any antivirus software requires it for unpacking and archiving before and after virus tests. Here are the details:

Name: xfdmaster.library v39.13
Archive name: xfdmaster.lha
Archive size: 163.510 Bytes
Release date: 17. September 2001
Programmer: Dirk Stöcker

Xfdmaster.library info:
The XFD system is for single file decrunching. It can be compared to XAD system, which is for file extraction from archives! They do different work, but are used together often.

This software package allows you to decrunch almost every packed file known on the Amiga. It consists of the xfdmaster.library as the brain and a couple of programs that offer certain functions to the user.

The xfdmaster.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. It works with Kickstart V33+ and offers applications the possibility to directly support any crunched files.

Other than the predecessor decrunch.library, the xfdmaster.library has a more flexible interface, offers the possibility to decrunch already loaded program segments, supports external decrunchers, is able to unlink 4EB9/4EF9- and text-linked files and can scan for crunched data in any memory area.

NetBSD-1.5.2 released
The NetBSD project announce the release of NetBSD-1.5.2.
NetBSD-1.5.2 is a "pathc release" building on the NetBSD-1.5 branch and basically containing corrections.

For example a problem with the installation procedure for NetBSD/Amiga was fixed, which creeped into NetBSD-1.5.1.
Furthermore secure problems in sendmail, telnetd, openssl, dmuplfs, fts, dhcp, and the size test parameter with some kernel calls were fixed.

Please, take more datails from the original announcement (title link). (ps) (Translation: mj)

Sourceforge: Internet C++ - Build One Program - Run It Everywhere
A reader wrote:
There is a new project at sourceforge (follow the title link). This project has the following description: "Build One Program - Run It Everywhere". I think that I know this concept. Slashdot called it an alternartive for Java.

It will be a hard struggle for Amiga if this becomes a common thing. It is released under the GPL and supports OpenGL, Java and much more. (ps) (Translation: sk)

This GUI distinguishes by the player being started with the respective options set in a way that only 25% of the CPU time given is used on a 68060/50 (according to Dashboard). The GUI was written in ARexx using ReqTools. Changes since prior version:
  • Bugfix: Pressing 'Cancel' now brings you back to the GUI with a 'no file' display, as with pressing 'Stop'. In v1.0 always a file requester was show first.

Game: Genetic Species for Gameboy Advance
Some time ago Milan Pollé started a petition to learn how much are interested in a Gameboy Advance port of the Amiga ego-shooter 'Genetic Species'.

Many interested people vote for such a port (http://www.dreamcast.ca/gameboyland/gs/gs.htm) and there where even more Amiga users for such port than people from the 'IGN Gameboy Advance'-Forum.

Now Milan Pollé received an e-mail from 'Marble-Eyes' anouncing the porting in cooperation with the Danish games developers 'Entale'. Those introduced the game to publishers on the ECTS 2001 by screenshots and tests:

«Hi,

Marble-Eyes has recently started cooperation with Danish game developer Entale on porting GS to Game Boy Advance. Armed with sales documents, screenshots and rave reviews, Entale representatives have attended the ECTS 2001 show in London to meet publishers and show them the potential of GS.

We are all very excited and looking forward to a possible revival of GS on the GBA console. GS and Amiga lovers out there, thank you for the great support!

For future news on the progress of GS Advance, please visit www.entale.com.

For any questions or encouraging words, feel free to write Entale at geneticspecies@entale.com

Regards
Martin Halberg, Marble Eyes Development» (sd) (Translation: mj)

Digital Almanac III - News
Distribution of the astronomy program 'Digital Almanac III' must be put on hold for an undefined period of time due to the Amiga computer being defective.

Because of occupational reasons also further development of DA III was stopped for the time being (lack of time).

At this time no decision was made regarding a possible OS 4.0 port for the AmigaOne board.

Support and mailing list is being continued without any cutback. (sd) (Translation: mj)
