TV Tip: Topic "retro" on 3sat The current edition of the 3sat magazine "neues" addresses the retro trend and, in this connection, goes into emulators as well: "Computer systems of today and their applications are highly complex. [...] What was nice there, when you only had to turn on the legendary Commodore 64 breadboxes, Atari and Amiga computers, and they worked reliably." The program will be rerun on Monday on 3sat (7:00 and 9:45 o'clock) as well as on Tuesday on ZDF (1:50 o'clock). (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 20.

AmigaOS 4: Gimp 2.2.13 Alpha for Cygnix Edgar Schwan has published another alpha version of the picture editing software Gimp for his X11-enviroment Cygnix.

individual Computers: Software updates Press release: We're providing a hotfix for the Catweasel drivers that corrects writing of Amiga-disks. The only updated file is the Imagetool, please only use it with the latest beta-drivers V2.3.0.0. Download: imagetool_hotfix.zip (77,6K). Caution: This hotfix has only been tested with Amiga-disks! Oliver Achten has done a lot of work on the MMC64: Since MMC- and SD-cards with a capacity of more than 4G are already available, MMC64 now supports the FAT32 filesystem. This more modern filesystem also has advantages on smaller flashcards, because most C64-files are so small that FAT16 will only waste a lot of space. The new BIOS also made updates on the plugins necessary, most plugins experienced a complete re-write, the old plugins will be updated shortly and can currently only be used with FAT16. The MP3-plugin can now playback whole directories as playlists, the AVF-plugin plays an MMC64-proprietary video format that also utilizes the MP3@64 module. The Picture-plugins have also been updated and they are available in version 1.3 on our support page. An example video file in AVF-format is also located there, because we don't have a converter for your videos yet. Peter Wendrich has made major updates to the C64-core for the C-One in the past few months. The interrupt behaviour of the CPU has been corrected, a bug in sprite display in the lower screen area has been removed, and the timing-behaviour of the CIA-chips has been implemented according to the results of Peter's detailed research. The new core is available in the download-area of the C-One Webseite. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 13. May. 2007, 17:55] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
