MorphOS: TGEmu emulates TurboGrafx16/PC Engine
"TGEmu" emulates the classic NEC games console "TurboGrafx16" (aka "PC Engine"). For now many comercial titles are running fast enough and with sound support.

The MorphOS version comes with a graphical users interface that supports skins. (cg) (Translation: wk)

Workbench design with AmiChameleon
Everybody who has already tried to change the look of the Workbench completely knows how much the work that means. Searching for images, changing preferences, loading skins, etc. If you want to change the look again later on the same starts over again. Because of this I've developed AmiChameleon. It archives once created so called themes and installs them later again in the simpliest way. This way it is possible to change the design of your Workbench completely with only a small number of mouse click.

On a server are already several themes saved that can (directly from AmiChameleon) be viewed, downloaded and then installed. It will also be possible to create such themes with AmiChameleon (still beta and without manual).

Themes: With AmiChameleon you can change/install the following graphical elements:

System settings:
  • WB-Pattern
  • Fonts
  • Palette
  • Pointer
  • Sound
  • ReAction


Further settings:
  • Magic-Menu
  • VisualPrefs


Skins for the following programs:
  • CoolCalc
  • WBClock
  • AmigaAMP
  • AmiNetRadio
  • PlayCD


Startbars:
  • AmiStart
  • AmiDock


Other supported programs:
  • Birdie
  • BenchTrash
  • GarshneBlanker
All these parts together are called a theme and are supported by AmiChameleon. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Linux: Image Installer SE for Pegasos and Amiga-PPC released
The Image Installer that shortens the installation of various Linux distributions on the Pegasos I and II or the Amiga with PowerPC card to several minutes and eases it, is now available with an image file of SuSE 7.3 for download in a special edition.

The SE version is meant to demonstrate the functions of the Image Installer and to collect experiences in the use of Linux. The installation is done from an image that was created before from a correctly installed and configured Linux base installation.

To use further programs it is necessary to get the full distribution. The SuSE image file works exclusively with the SE version that is without any support by the SuSE Linux AG or the Image Installer team.

Hardware needed:
  • Pegasos with at least 128 MB RAM or Amiga with PowerPC card
  • CyberGraphX supported graphics card (recommended Pegasos: ATI Radeon)
  • harddisk drive with 6 GB free space
  • CD or DVD drive
  • CD burner for the ISO files

MorphOS: enqueueTorrent 1.0 released
enqueueTorrent is a commandline tool which helps to integrate MLdonkey support into your favourite Amiga browser.

Instead of Copy'n'Paste an eDonkey or BitTorrent link manually from the browser into the MLdonkey console you can setup a "Send Link to MLdonkey..." or/and a "application/x-bittorrent" MIME type and let enqueueTorrent do the work for you.

enqueueTorrent works with locally and remotely installed MLnet (MLdonkey) servers, so you also can send an URL from IBrowse to your Linux box with just one mouse click.

You can find the download under the title link.

If someone is interested in an 68k port for Classic Amigas (indeed, only useful for remotely installed MLnet server) then write an email to the author. (snx)

mDVD: MorphOS GUI for DVD Playing with MPlayer
J.-P. Jokela has prepared mDVD (9.3 MB), a GUI (graphic user-interface) for playing DVDs with mPlayer under MorphOS. Besides mPlayer you must also have RxMUI installed.

MDVD is a simple selection program for DVD titles, subtitles, and soundtracks, with a few options such as framedrop or full-screen. It does not include search functions or DVD menu support.

The author requests feedback as to desired features, and points out that that one should read the manual before trying out the configuration of the GUI, and set the path for mPlayer as well as the orientation of subtitles and soundtracks. (snx) (Translation: dm)

Die Kleine Gilde II: Training game for arbalest contest available
The next version of the game Die Kleine Gilde II will include a little arbalest shooting contest that will be held about all five years. There is a trainig mode game for that contest available now which is downloadable at my homepage.

Information about "Die Kleine Gilde II":

The game is a round based economy simulation of the late Middle Ages from around 1400 to 1600 but als a realtime strategy game with rol play and life simulation.

Interesting is the possibility to found a family dynasty if the game should be continued after the death of your first game charakter.

You start as a smith, joiner, alchimist, perfumer, publican, thief or sermonizer. After collecting some money you might change your occupation. Further on you can apply for official or clerical administratives to improve your career. (snx) (Translation: ub)
