Genesi: Home Media & Communication System and EFIKA 5K2 available (Update) Genesi is pleased to announce the availability of the award-winning Genesi Home Media and Communication System. There are a number of optional features available on request in the online PegasosPPC Store. Genesi's Director of Open Source Software, Pieter Van den Abeele commented on the release: "We are selling the customer a box optimized to run MythTV, not a software experience like Mac OS X or Windows Media Center Edition. We are assembling existing open source components into a whole. We think this is something the open source software community will appreciate. We would like to see people with the Genesi Home Media and Communication System build their own versions of the software. We hope to create a cycling effect of innovation and improvement in the software around the hardware. By building a community we build a market that is attractive to VAR, for example we are looking forward to Terra Soft Solutions selling their version of this product soon." For those not interested in developing their own software the Home Media and Communication System comes ready to go with software built over an AltiVec optimized version of Gentoo Linux. Also of note, the recently announced EFIKA 5K2 board is available with a minimum order of 50 units. The boards include the Pegasos HAL/OF implementation and run the software currently available on the Open Desktop Workstation. Movies: Home Media & Communications System
Movies: EFIKA 5K2
Update: (20:45, 05.12.05, snx) According to Genesi, the tuner is an analogue one while DVB-S/T/C and HDTV are in the works. Furthermore, "the hard drives are enclosed in a sound-proof casing. The heat of the hard drive is transferred to the outside of the casing using heatpipes. The HD case transfers its heat to the heatsinks on the side of the case. The HD case is specially mounted (suspended) as well to prevent any vibrations from becoming audible. The same goes for the PSU." Genesi will also be publishing a "How To" manual. Then one can buy a PegasosPPC and just build a Home Media and Communication System himselve. (snx) [News message: 04.

Cross compiling for MorphOS under Linux/x86 After the support pages for AmigaOS 3 and 4 as well as AROS did Jocke 'Zerohero' Birging set up with help from bigfoot and CISC now a page for cross compiling under Linux/x86 for MorphOS. For now, only C but not C++ is supported. Includes and libraries of the MorphOS SDK are part of it though it is recommended to register at the MorphOS Developer Connection to download there the complete SDK and possibly to contact the developers forums there.

N E T N E W W E T - F O R W E A T H E R C H E C K E R S ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Editor's Thoughts and Introduction: Unusual things this month. A new website dedicated to games that weren't, the launch of a new Amiga software company (when's the last time that happened?) and companies in Germany stopping the selling of product due to new laws. Strange things, all those. I'd like to say a few words about the last item, the laws that are stopping the shipping of some hardware. This is related to the tough, new European rules regarding toxic waste. Many people don't know it, but the huge increase in electronic devices, especially computers, has led to a very serious pollution problem. That is because many electronic components contain toxic materials, especially lead, which is a very serious health risk if allowed to get into the environment. The disposal of these systems is poisoning people when not done correctly. This has become a huge problem in many countries around the world. Lead poisoning is especially hard on the young, who may suffer for their entire lives. Tough new European legislation to track and manage electronic devices from manufacturing to disposal is intended to tackle this issue. Because the economy is global, this initiative is forcing better products world wide. In our opinion, this is an excellent thing to do and should probably have been done long ago. Computing is fun but poisoning the environment and the creatures - including us - who live in it should not be part of the cost. "Kudos" to EU for having the courage to do something about this before the problem becomes even worse. We also strongly hope this is a temporary absence from the hardware scene. We trust everyone will understand or at least tolerate the situation (not that we could do much about it anyway) and we certainly look for the return of these products to the market as soon as the companies can comply with the new laws. We hope you enjoy this issue. Brad Webb, Editor Brad Webb, Editor -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A M I G A G A M E S T H A T W E R E N ' T 30 October, 2005 aGTW is launched (with a simple site). There is only one game so far but it's a complete and previously unreleased Amiga game that was due to be a commercial title! Case 1 - Son Shu Shi Legend tells of a breed of Amiga games that never crawled out of the primordial development swamp of their early existence. Games that never stood blinking in the sunlight of the gaming world. Games that were never devoured by predators of the Amiga jungle. They are the... Amiga Games That Weren't. Some 5,000 Amiga games were released commercially. However, there are a significant number that were never released. The aim of this site is to find out what happened to them and (if possible) allow them to be released. Expect many to be lost forever. It'll be an interesting journey nonetheless. Amiga Games That Weren't is a companion site to Frank Gasking's Games That Weren't 64 and Timo Weirich's PC Games That Weren't sites. The data on unreleased games is primarily based on information from the Hall Of Light. http://www.gtw64.co.uk/ Games That Weren't 64 http://pcgtw.retro-net.de/ PC Games That Weren't http://www.softpres.org/ The Software Preservation Society <http://www.whdload.de> WHDLoad http://www.winuae.net/ WinUAE http://hol.abime.net The Hall Of Light http://agtw.abime.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- T H R E E C O U N T I E S G R O U P I N U K 29 November, 2005 Three Counties Amiga Group Our first Meeting is This Coming Sunday, 4th of December 2005: Meeting Time: 11:30am till 3:00pm Location:Wolloston Road, Westwood, Peterborough Round the corner from where Big Bash Shows are held Everyone welcome!

No hardware is being shipped within the EU, not to resellers, nor to direct customers. According to the national implementation of EU-directive 2002/96/EG http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/oj/dat/2003/l_037/l_ 03720030213en00240038.pdf into German law *(Bundesgesetzblatt 2005 Teil I Nr. 17)* http://www.stiftung-ear.de/content/e47/e572/e580 e594/050316elektrog_ger.pdf, every vendor in Germany must be registered with the Stiftung EAR http://www.stiftung-ear.de/. For vendors from outside Germany, the importer must be registered, in case the vendor is not registered in Germany. This law applies to all electronic products that are mentioned in rule EAR 03-011 http://www.stiftung-ear.de/e129/e145/regeln319/Geraeteart_ger.pdf, no matter what country they come from - within or outside the European union. The new law aims at vendors and importers, who need to take resposibility for the electronic devices if they are discarded at the end of the product's life. Putting electronic devices into circulation without being registered (indicated by a trashcan symbol) is against German law as of today. Violators can be penalized with a monetary fine of up to 50.000 EUR. Due to the complicated implementation by German authorities, it's not easy to estimate the consequences and the new obligations created by this law. In addition to that, the extremely high administration effort goes with high fees that must be paid to the Stiftung EAR - especially smaller companies' existance is endangered by the fees that are more than one hundred times higher than the recycling cost itself. individual computers http://ami.ga and E3B http://www.e3b.de/usb, who have been developing and producing in Germany for many years, are now evaluating possibilities to comply with the strict rules in a close cooperation, so customers all over Europe can continue to buy top quality products from Germany. Both companies want to act responsible and sustainable in this regard. Many issues are not yet resolved, therefore both companies cannot continue to deliver hardware to customers and resellers within the European union. Customers outside the EU are not affected by this decision. We're hoping to proceed with the necessary steps in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the "Stiftung EAR" cannot cope with the bureaucracy created by their own rules, so our registration number is not yet assigned. We are of course interested in continuing to offer innovative products, and will do everything to keep the shortage as short as possible. We're asking for your indulgence for any inconveniences. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- D I G I T A L U N I V E R S E N E W S The following post about Digital Universe was found this month on the excellent Amigaworld.net site. Brad 28 November, 2005 *Some more positive news for AmgaOS4. I did ask from the Digital Universe maintainers about the "promised" version for PPC amigas, and I got a quick reply. I will not copy the whole questions/answers list here, but the most important part. Also I do remind you, that the plans are not a finnished product yet.* Quote: news for the Amiga is actually brighter. We have made arrangements with a third party to continue to update the Amiga to bring it on a par (or better than) the current Mac release of the software. In addition to bringing it up to date with the current release of the Amiga OS, new capabilities (like the Hubble Guide Star catalogue) are expected to be available in the future. I did ask the permission to share this information, if I let you also know that: Quote: I have no idea of an ETA at this time, but the Amiga release is actually the only version currently in active development at the moment. And finally: Quote: we have no estimate as to when it might be available.

RockBEAT 1.3.1 - Create drumming tracks and export as WAV files! WookieChat 1.9.1 - Chat on IRC networks! (Internet Relay Chat). /Now available for OS3.x again!/ SimplePlay 3.2 - Play OGG, MP3, WAV, MOD, S3M, IT, XM, and MIDI files!* Rockbeat Recent changes: - Made less crashy on exit. My timers and AHI iorequests are cleaned up properly now. - Position LED's light up while playing, and scrolls automatically - You can now switch between drumkits, and it will remember the last drumkit you used. Wookiechat Recent changes: - When you're holding down the left mouse button highlighting text, channel messages etc are paused until you let go. - "Unknown nick" and "Cannot send to channel" messages are displayed in their proper tabs again - Channel lists are no longer sorted alphabetically. It was causing a huge drain on the CPU when thousands of channels were present. It sometimes led to a crash. - No more garbled channel part messages - "Clear all" button added to the URL Grabber window - Added code to prevent DCC Transfers window from popping to the front when you get an incoming file if its already open in the background somewhere - 68k WookieChat development has resumed, and it no longer hangs when recieving incoming DCC sends. A divide by zero bug in the file transfer stats function has been removed! (thank you wegster for telling me what was wrong) - Now works with WebChat and DarkMyst networks (homes of #amiga.org and #amigazeux). Wookie was doing its connection detection in a slightly bad way previously. - Clicking in the main chat display now activates the chat string gadget - Outgoing swear word filter. use /filter to toggle on and off SimplePlay Recent changes: - Shuffle and Repeat playing modes added. - Bugfix: after a playing a song located using Jump Find, it plays the next song in the list now. - Song name and Elapsed time is now displayed - Fixed a playlist bug. It was adding the termination character to text strings about one character too far. So playlists were able to be corrupted after loading and saving sometimes. - Jump find has been improved slightly. Converts _ into spaces internally when searching for songs. So for example the song "Christina_Vidal_-_Take_Me_Away.mp3" can be found if you type in the words "take me away" - The default icon priority is now higher to help prevent playback stuttering e.g. when accessing menus and scrolling in aweb.

It can show a forecast for up to 24 hours ahead (where available), and is fully localisable. New translations for: English (built-in) German Finnish Italian Spanish Basque Old or partial translations for: Turkish Norwegian Swedish Czech Greek Previous few version changes: 4.11 (26.11.2005) * Added AUTORUNAREXX tooltype, ARexx commands to get the data\'s date and time and an example ARexx script which logs the observed temperatures. * A certain connection error was causing a recoverable alert. Fixed. * Rewrote most of the forecast-related routines, as still having problems with bogus data appearing. Is now greatly simplified and hopefully more reliable. * The date of the last update could show the incorrect month in certain circumstances. Fixed. * When cloud height not available, it was being reported as -11100ft. Now shows a slightly more correct 0ft. 4.1 (20.11.2005) * Added a docky icon. (thanks to Stefan Robl for sending me the SDK) * Will now work behind a proxy server. (even on a direct link, specifying a web cache proxy is recommended) * Now retrieves data with an If-Modified-Since header, which significantly speeds up updates, especially if new data is not available. * Can now set the poll interval in 10 minute increments. * Warnings now automatically suppressed if another app requests \"game mode\". * A saved project icon sometimes resulted in an incorrect ENVPATH tooltype. Fixed. * Forecasts generated <1hr from midnight sometimes resulted in uneventful duplicated times. Fixed. * Rain and Snow Showers were showing the Showers icon rather than Rain or Snow. Fixed. * Iconified icon (AppIcon disabled) was not disappearing if the window was reopened using a method other than double-clicking on the icon. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Amiga Update on the net: All back issues available at: http://www.globaldialog.com/~bandr/AU/index.html Stop by and check out our archive!
