ScummVM Version 0.1.0 for MorphOS released
Rüdiger Hanke released his new version of the ScummVM-MorphOS. He wrote, that this new version would fix many bugs from v0.0.3.

The MorphOS version got some display code now and became independent of SDL. This reduces the program in size and switching from full screen to window mode now works clean. Other enhancements are being worked on. (ps) (Translation: mj)

CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko v1.2
Finally the time has come! A new version of Akiko, CD32 and CDTV emulator for Microsoft(r) Windows(r), can be downloaded from the Airsoft Softwair homepage (http://www.airsoftsoftwair.com/) Version 1.2 is a major update which is about 20% faster and supports emulation of the CD32's nonvolatile memory including a cool nv ram editor which supports importing, exporting, locking & patching of save states.

Example of patching a save game is included in the documentation. Additionally Akiko has now a real Joypad emulation which means that the user can map every key / joystick button to the CD32's joypad buttons. Akiko also supports the emulation of the language identifier of the CD32 and CDTV now so some games appear now automatically in the language you configured in the Akiko settings. Finally there were some bug fixes and improvements in the single patches as well as an extended documentation.

If you still haven't registered Akiko (only $15US/15 EUR) you should have a look at Defender Of The Crown 2 CDTV which can now also be played with the Akiko demo version. But don't forget to set your native language to the CDTV's language in the Akiko settings so that the game appears in it. By the way, Akiko does not require the extended ROMs of the CD32 & CDTV. Kickstart 3.1 and 1.3 are enough. Registered users please send an email to akiko@airsoftsoftwair.de with "subscribe" subject and you'll get the latest version (you'll only have to subscribe once, then you'll always get the latest version of Akiko) If you haven't registered yet, you should definitely get the demo version of Akiko! (ps)

PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX sells Amiga Sources
Due to a lack of time, motivation and general interest, PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX is looking for licensees that are willing to obtain the source code for the well-known ak Datatypes (other products on request) under exclusive or non-exclusive license on as-is basis.

The license will not include the keyfile-code (removal) and it won't include the right to sell a product under the same name. So the licensee will be able to work out new products based on the sources, without any further relations or obligations. Basic help for getting started with the sources and concepts will be provided.

We're awaiting your offers.

OpenSource projects may obtain FREE licences under certain circumstances. Please contact us.

This offer is limited until 31.03.2001.

In the meantime, our website will be reworked. The Amiga section was removed. (ps)

#AmigaFun: chat with Hyperion on 18.02.2002
On Monday, 18. February 2002, beginning at 19.00 h will Steffen Häuser, Thomas and Hans-Jörg Frieden from Hyperion answer to questions on the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. All three are programmers at Hyperion and deal with AmigaOS 4 and with games ports, like for example Quake 2. The chat with Hyperion is organised in co-operation with the Amiga Future.

How to access the IRC channel #AmigaFun:

IRC server (enter WITHOUT "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org
IRC port: 6667
IRC channel: #amigafun

Should the server fail you can access the channel via this server:

amigafun.ma.cx (please enter again without "irc.").

Further information especially for IRC beginners can be found on the #AmigaFun homepage.

HINT:
The chat can be accessed via HTML chat from the #AmigaFun homepage, Amiga Future homepage and from the amiga-news.de forum. As we can't guarantee an error free functioning of the HTML chat and programs like AMIRC or BlackIRC are anyway nicer to use we recommend to use an IRC client in any way.

Possible languages are German and English. The logfiles of the chat will be later released on the homepages of the Amiga Future and the #AmigaFun in German and in English.
Stefan Martens: "I'd like this time to point to the fact that nobody else may release the logfiles of the chat this time." (ps) (Translation: wk)

Matay: P96-Drivers only on request
Matay has removed the archive with the P96-drivers V2.1a for Prometheus from the server and will send the archive only on request via email. It will be available again later on when a registration process will be implemented. Owners of a Prometheus board can get it sending an email to info@matay.pl. Matay has decided to do so because also users without a Prometheus board are using these drivers.

You find this text at the archive:
"This archive has been deleted from the page because of numerous downloads by people who don't have Prometheus boards but are still using our page to recieve a full archive of shareware program. In short future there will be a questionary veryfing and writing down all necessary data of the one who is downloading. Till then, please inquire to info@matay.pl, we will send you this archive on your email account. Thank you, Matay team" (ps) (Translation: gf)
