News from Eyetech: State of AmigaOneXE
After moving the website of Eyetech onto another server the site is now up to date. Beside some changes in prices for the Eyetech complete systems a change for the AmigaOne interested persons is interesting: The AmigaOneXE-G3 will be delivered with a G3 CPU (750FX) with 800 MHz instead of the announced 700 MHz.

On the AmigaOne mailing list Alan Redhouse is talking about the latest stateof the delivery of the AmigaOneXE:

It seems the first 25 boards are delivered to Eyetech and are taken under another quality control by 25 chosen testers. The other motherboards will be delivered to Eyetech in the next week. Because of the high inquiry and the fact of the quality check by Eyetech the delivery will take a longer time than expected so the boards will be delivered to dealers and customers in February.

heise: Atari-ST-Emulator for PocketPC
As "heise" says for PocketPCs with StrongARM CPUs has been released an Atari ST emulator. The emulator is "Donorware", this means it is for free but donations are welcome. If there are enough "donations" maybe the coder will develop an Amiga emulator. (ps) (Translation: gf)

Today grand opening of The Butterfly Vale
Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages! The Butterfly Vale has opened its gates for visitors. The Vale is your future source for MorphOS ports and high-quality own MorphOS developments.

As for your journey to us, please recall that the Vale is located in a remote place where the air is still fresh and clean. We would like to keep it that way and ask you to if possible leave your power-consuming Pentium switched off and use alternate means of transportation. We recommend coming in by flying horse.

Here's a short overview of our main attractions. While you browse our various areas, you may notice that we have some smaller archives up that are not mentioned here.

cdda.library 1.0

cdda.library is a MorphOS library that provides CD digital audio services to A-Box programs. Developers benefit from the library's high-level functions such as drive search by certain criteria, looped playing of CD sections, event callbacks and author/track title information where available.

Users benefit from the library's drive autorecognition by not having to enter or even recall any device/unit values in most cases - thanks to cdda.library's powerful functions, ScummVM MorphOS is the only port that does not need the user to specify a CD drive.

ScummVM 0.3.0b + new CVS

The full ScummVM 0.3.0b MorphOS distribution is now online. It includes an updated PDF manual, and the icons have been converted to Ambient format. Also, there are now new icons for the Simon the Sorcerer games.

A new CVS snapshot has been uploaded as well, this one is the first public MorphOS snapshot with experimental, preliminary support for "THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND", as well as support for the Mac/Amiga versions of Simon the Sorcerer 2 and early support for the CD32 version of Simon the Sorcerer.

Exult 1.0

Exult is a rewrite of the Ultima 7 engine for modern operating systems. It allows you to play one of the best and most detailed parts of Origin's famous Ultima series. Exult has recently turned to version 1.0 which means that both parts of Ultima 7, "The Black Gate" and "The Silver Seed" along with their add-ons "The Black Sword" and "Forge of Virtue" are fully supported now. The original data files are required to play.

FreeSCI 0.3.4

The MorphOS port of FreeSCI had been announced three days ago on the FreeSCI homepage (http://freesci.linuxgames.com). Today saw the official release of FreeSCI 0.3.4, and the MorphOS version is available for download from the Vale on the same day! FreeSCI is an attempt to create a portable interpreter for games written for Sierra On-Line's SCI system. Playable games include King's Quest IV, Space Quest 3, Leisure Suit Larry 2 & 3, The Colonel's Bequest, and several others. 32 bit Ambient icons for nine games known to be completable are included in the archive.

Frotz

Frotz is an interpreter for the adventure games produced by Infocom, and fan works created with Graham Nelson's Inform compiler. Frotz MorphOS Release 1 is based on David Kinder's Amiga port, Release 14 (the current Amiga version is release 16). Major changes to the Amiga version (14) are:
  • Updated port to Frotz 2.43 code base
  • Made Frotz fully graphics cards compliant
  • Rewrote GUI code from BGUI to MUI
  • Rewrote audio.device code to AHI
  • Aspect correction for V6 graphics
  • Fixed lots of preferences issues


Inform

Graham Nelson's Inform allows you to write your own games to run on Infocom interpreters. In addition to the binary, I've provided an archive with most material from Glenn Hutchings' all-in-one Inform package. It is meant for new users who want to start quickly with Inform. It includes the library, some useful 3rd party contributions, examples and a tutorial, all ready to use.

Magnetic

Magnetic is an interpreter for the adventure games once produced by the British company Magnetic Scrolls. It is based on David Kinder's Amiga port. Major changes from the Amiga version are:
  • Rewrote Copper code to proper graphics cards compliant code
  • Implemented title splash screen
  • Implemented animations for Magnetic Windows games
  • Implemented online hints for Magnetic Windows games


The Butterfly Vale is looking forward to your visit. Also keep in mind that this is just the beginning ... (ps)

New Amiga-Product: Pure Basic
Xing Interactive are very proud to announce the release of the powerful and versatile programming language "Pure Basic". The product will be released in the second week of February 2003 and is available to consumers at the very competitive price of 29,95 Euro in DVD case packaging.

Pure Basic is more advanced and flexible then any of the other Basic programming languages currently on the market and it comes at a fraction of the price. The beauty of this product is the versatility though as you can develop your own games and applications on PC Windows, Linux or even AmigaOS! Speed is another unique selling point. Where other Basic programming languages crawl at a slow pace due to complex instruction translations Pure Basic shines by even outperforming C++ written code. If you ever wanted to program your own commercial quality games or applications in an easy to learn and even more easy to use language then this is your chance! (ps)
