MorphOS: Freespace - The Great War / Update to Freespace 2
Under the title link, Michal 'kiero' Wozniak has released a MorphOS port of "Freespace: The Great War" as well as an update to Freespace 2.

Among other things, the update offers a better video playback as well as an improved high-resolution mode. To activate the latter, you must enter "Videocard=OpenGL (1024x768)" in the .ini file.

The MorphOS version of "Freespace: The Great War" requires MorphOS 1.4.x, 3D drivers and the powersdl.library by Ilkka Lehtoranta. Though 256 MB RAM should suffice in the author's opinion, he cannot guarantee that everything already runs properly with it. A Radeon graphics card is strongly recommended.

Network games are not available in the existing version. Moreover, only the "Silent Threat" mod was tested.

For the installation, you need the 2 CD version of the game (the English and the Polish versions were tested). Afterwards, copy the files of the MorphOS archive to the desired directory and start the installation script.

In principle, the port works with the Amiga version of Freespace as well, however, the films here were converted to another format, so that these are not played back. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Pianeta Amiga: Audio message from Bill McEwen
In the meantime, the audio message from Bill McEwen (Amiga Inc.) can be downloaded on the web page of Pianeta Amiga, which was played back within the scope of the Italian event yesterday.

In his greetings message, Bill McEwen mentioned the acquisition of Ruksun as well as his enthusiasm for the Samantha mainboard.

Moreover, at the AmiWest show next month in Sacramento (USA), the prototype of a motherboard from the high-end desktop sector will reportedly be presented, which is developed by another group, with which they are working together for a long time.
