`02.Jun.2020`	Backbone game: "Air Mail" - free digital version and Boxed Edition "Air Mail" (video of a previous alpha version) is another arcade game created with Backbone and by José A. 'Jojo073' Gonzáles (e.g. Mini Zorro, Mini Swat, Brus Li) and Ricardo Vieira. As usual a "boxed edition" will be sold on amigastore.eu which currently can be ordered via e-mail from the developers. If you want to have the free digital version then you also should contact the developers. Update: 29.06.20, 17:30, cg): Fixed the name of the second developer: Gonzáles' partner when creating Air Mail was Ricardo Vieira. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 02.

`01.Jun.2020` Amiga Future (Webseite)	New interpreter for Maniac Mansion and Co.: Parrot Another "player" for the game data of classic point'n-click adventures is developed called "Parrot". At least the SCUMM based games developed by Lucasfilm are supposed to run. In contrast to existing solutions like ScummVM, Parrot is being developed especially for the Amiga and therefore is optimized for this system and its chipset. For example before the first launch, all data are converted into typical Amiga formats to make them playable also on less powerful copmputers. At least "an ECS Amiga, running Workbench 2" is required. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 01. Jun. 2020, 21:55] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`01.Jun.2020` Amiga Future (Webseite)	Decompressing Amiga archives: Ancient Format Decompressor The "Ancient Format Decompressor" can decompress Amiga archives which were compressed on 16-Bit home computers using common compression programs. The source code can be compiled on every modern system. The following formats are currently supported: CrunchMania by Thomas Schwarz: supports both new (version 2) and old stream formats: CrM!: Crunch-Mania standard-mode Crm!: Crunch-Mania standard-mode, sampled CrM2: Crunch-Mania LZH-mode Crm2: Crunch-Mania LZH-mode, sampled Disk Masher System a.k.a. DMS Supports all different compression methods (NONE,SIMPLE,QUICK,MEDIUM,DEEP,HEAVY1,HEAVY2) Supports password bypassing File Imploder (and most of its clones), specifically with following headers: ATN! BDPI CHFI EDAM IMP! M.H. RDC9 FLT! (verification missing) Dupa (verification missing) PARA (verification missing) PowerPacker PP 1.1 (verification missing) PP 2.0 Rob Northen compressors. supports all 3 known formats: RNC1: Both old and formats utilizing the same header. heuristics for detecting the current one RNC2: RNC version 2 stream Turbo Packer by Wolfgang Mayerle. Standard gzip Standard bzip2, both normal and randomized Zip decompressor backend (decompressor only, no Zip file format reading yet) with following methods Shrink Reduce Implode Deflate Deflate64 Bzip2 Lha/Lzh decompressor backend (decompressor only, no Lha file format reading yet) with following methods LH0: Null compressor LH1: LZRW-compressor with 4kB window LH2: LZRW-compressor with Dynamic Huffman Encoding (experimental) LH3: LZRW-compressor (experimental) LH4: LZRW-compressor with 4kB window LH5: LZRW-compressor with 8kB window LH6: LZRW-compressor with 32kB window LH7: LZRW-compressor with 64kB window LH8: LZRW-compressor with 64kB window (Joe Jared extension) LHX: LZRW-compressor with up to 512kB window (UnLHX extension) LZ4: Null compressor LZ5: LZ-compressor LZS: LZ-compressor PM0: Null compressor PM1: LZ-compressor PM2: LZ-compressor Supports opening XPK-encapsulated files. XPK decompressors supported are: ACCA: Andre's Code Compression Algorithm ARTM: Arithmetic encoding compressor BLZW: LZW-compressor BZP2: Bzip2 backend for XPK CBR0: RLE compressor CBR1: RLE compressor CRM2: CrunchMania backend for XPK CRMS: CrunchMania backend for XPK, sampled CYB2: xpkCybPrefs container DLTA: Delta encoding DUKE: NUKE with Delta encoding ELZX: LZX-compressor FAST: LZ77-compressor FBR2: CyberYAFA compressor FRHT: LZ77-compressor FRLE: RLE compressor GZIP: Deflate backend for XPK HUFF: Huffman modeling compressor HFMN: Huffman modeling compressor ILZR: Incremental Lempel-Ziv-Renau compressor IMPL: File Imploder backend for XPK LHLB: LZRW-compressor LIN1: Lino packer LIN2: Lino packer LIN3: Lino packer LIN4: Lino packer LZBS: CyberYAFA compressor LZCB: LZ-compressor LZW2: CyberYAFA compressor LZW3: CyberYAFA compressor LZW4: CyberYAFA compressor LZW5: CyberYAFA compressor MASH: LZRW-compressor NONE: Null compressor NUKE: LZ77-compressor PWPK: PowerPacker backend for XPK RAKE: LZ77-compressor RDCN: Ross Data Compression RLEN: RLE compressor SASC: LZ-compressor with arithmetic encoding SDHC: Sample delta huffman compressor SHR3: LZ-compressor with arithmetic encoding SHRI: LZ-compressor with arithmetic encoding SHSC: Context modeling compressor SLZ3: CyberYAFA compressor SLZX: LZX-compressor with delta encoding SMPL: Huffman compressor with delta encoding SQSH: Compressor for sampled sounds TDCS: LZ77-compressor ZENO: LZW-compressor (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 01.

`01.Jun.2020` Amiga Future (Webseite)	Remote access to Amigas: squirt "squirt" is a server having only 5 kb which is launched on Amigas and then allows the remote access to the computer via the network. Using special command line programs you then can control the Amiga with the help of any other computer. In a text-based console also file transfers, switching directories and executing (non-active) Amiga commands are possible. Additionally squirt can be used as backup solution: A special command creates incremental backups of directories. Currently squirt only is available as source code and has to be compiled by yourself. If the commands for the remote access only work under Unix-like systems or also under Windows, we cannot say. The system currently allows only anonymous access - therefore the author strongly recommends: do not use the tool on Amiga systems which are connected to the Internet.

`31.May.2020` Amigaworld.net (Webseite)	CS-Lab: First Warp accelerator boards shipped to testers / Firmware 1.007 CS-Lab has shipped the first Warp accelerator boards to beta testers. After the Warp 1260 and the Warp 560 - both versions available for 499 Euro without a processor (amiga-news.de reported) - now a Warp 4060 is planned as well. Information on purchasing the boards will be available soon. First CS-Lab is waiting for the the feedback of the testers. Additional to the release of the new firmware version 1.007, two new videos are available: "Unboxing Warp1260" as well as "Some more testing the Warp1260". (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 31.
