LowLevel gameport driver v41.21 is online
Guido Mersmann has created a new version of his lowlevel.library gameport driver that contains the following changes and fixes:
  • FEATURE: New graphical gamepad buttons in the GUI.
  • BUGFIX: reworked timeout mechanism (works more stable at high CPU load).
  • FEATURE: several gamepad controller profiles in the settings added leading to a much easier choosing and setting.
  • FEATURE: From now on you can calibrate a gamepad in the settings. If you then fix the settings you can save them now so that you do not need to calibrate them later again.
  • BUGFIX: Warning requester added when especially under Amithlon a gameport address is used that is non-standard. This should help to avoid crashes if one sets completely wrong addresses.
  • FEATURE: The tool GamePortEnable now only shows the offset as the exact address for IO hardware can't be detected because of an API problem of the OpenPCI library. Please use with non-Amithlon systems the tool GamePortFind, on Amithlon systems you only ghave to add the address $00EE0xxx to the found offset (xxx stands for the returned offset value!).
  • BUGFIX: Bug in the calibrating routine fixed. The function with 1-axis gamepads has additionally been improved.
  • Download: download page


Amiga.sf ports - hotwayd v0.5.3
Ever wanted to access your hotmail[tm] emails without having to battle with the web interface? This is now possible using hotwayd in conjunction with your favourite POP-3 implementing mail reader. Hotwayd allows you to do this by using the HTTPMail protocol, the same protocol that Outlook Express[tm] uses, to access the hotmail servers. Hotwayd acts as a proxy between your POP mail reader and the HTTPMail hotmail servers. Simply set it up as an Internet service on your machine or another machine on your network and enjoy using your favourite mail client via the POP-3 protocol to collect your hotmail emails.
Download: hotwayd-0.5.3.lha

Textviewer: EvenMore - several plugin updates
  • 17/5/03 - Updated Troff plugin. Will now skip macro sequences. Fixed bug where if some commands were in different cases, the plugin might not have recognised them, .br and .BR, .IP and .Ip. Now skips comments beginning with '''. Should now detect style changes in strings using \, eg. \fI, \fR, \*(L", \*(R", etc.
  • 16/5/03 - Fixed a bug in the RTF plugin where it could skip two lines instead of one during wordwrap.
  • 15/5/03 - Fixed bug in which RTF plugin could not handle colour tables which didn't end in ";".

New MUI classes
  • 16.05.03 · Bugfixed MCC_SpeedBar
    MCC_SpeedBar updated, and now SpeedBarCfg.mcc is fixed. Only program I know that it failed on is Voodoo-X, but there might have been others. Fixed, anyway :) Thanks must go to Kev Harrison for mailing Alfie about it so quickly. He also mailed me, but the fix was out before the info made it to the page. BTW, CManager 24.1 on his site also...
    Regards,
    Jocke 'Zerohero' Sjöblom
  • 15.05.03 · Even more MCC_SpeedBar & MCC_Urltext
    MCC_SpeedBar bumped to v19.0, now, before you start to mail me that this archive is broken, I know it is, but it's only some code examples, the real classes are still ok. MCC_Urltext v18.9 archive is ok, though :)
    On Alfie's site also MCC_BWin is supposed to be v20.5, but the archive only includes v20.3. If you download Contact Manager 24.0 you'll get MCC_BWin v20.5 included, and also get a great update of CManager :)
    Oh, and Alfie, keep keeping me busy :)
    Regards,
    Jocke 'Zerohero' Sjöblom

Amiga Forever v5.2 is now shipping
Amiga Forever 5.2 is now shipping. It is available in a CD-ROM, CD-ROM Upgrade, Online Edition, Online Upgrade and Cross-Platform Online Edition.

Amiga Forever contains state of the art software to satisfy two major needs of many Amiga users: to use their existing Amiga software and data on non-Amiga hardware, and to share data between Amiga and other systems. Additionally, software, tutorial and reference files which are likely to be of interest to any Amiga enthusiast are included.

Features include:
  • Just-in-time version of emulation software (Bernd Meyer's JIT code), carefully configured and publicly benchmarked by Cloanto to be 30 times faster than in previous versions of Amiga Forever. The Amiga runs in a window or in full screen mode, makes full use of thousands of Windows (or other OS) drivers, can access PC files (even on NTFS partitions, in the Windows version) and does not require a reboot.
  • Software Manager, an advanced content delivery system developed by Cloanto, for easy and privacy-conscious management of all emulation-related components (updates, downloads, news, etc.)
  • Amiga Explorer software, which allows you to connect an Amiga to one or more PCs, and access Amiga files (including virtual ADF and ROM files), directories and volumes directly from the Windows Desktop. Amiga Explorer is easier to install and configure than other networking tools, and includes direct support for serial (null-modem) cable connections, as well as TCP/IP.
  • MenuBox launcher, to boot different Amiga configurations with one mouse click, either from CD-ROM (no installation or reboot required) or after installation
  • New and fully licensed Picasso96 software (not a shareware version), maps Amiga graphics requests directly to fast x86 calls and powerful low-level DirectX functions (Windows version of emulation)
  • Amiga Narrator and Translator speech synthesis components (made available for distribution with the Amiga OS for the first time since 1991)
  • All Amiga ROMs up to version 3.1 (the last ROM that will ever be available for the "Classic Amiga"!)*
  • CDTV and CD³² boot ROMs and extended ROMs (can be used to play CDTV and CD³² games, even booting directly from CD-ROM, requires free upgrade to emulation software)*
  • GlowIcons look (as used in Amiga OS "3.5", "3.9" and "XL", but also compatible with NewIcons and MagicWB)
  • Option to switch entire environment from "new look" (GlowIcons) to "old look" (Classic) and vice versa
  • Emulation includes: Amiga custom chips, RTG graphics, up to 512 MB of Zorro III RAM, virtual memory, TCP/IP, MIDI, native x86 code, built-in support for ADF, ADZ, DMS and FDI disk image files
  • Preinstalled software includes: Personal Paint 7.1b (paint, animation and image processing software, includes GIF/LZW license), DirDiff (file synchronization and replication software), AmiToRTF (to convert texts from Amiga to Windows formats), MailBX (to convert Amiga mail archives to Microsoft Mail, Outlook Express and Exchange Server), drag-and-drop LhA, print spooler (easily print all Amiga documents under Windows, bypassing parallel port emulation), Directory Opus 5.5 (courtesy of GPSoftware), TurboText (exclusive latest version with stack problem fix), KingCON, ToolManager, ReqTools, etc.
  • Latest version of WinUAE and WinFellow tested and supported by Cloanto Disk2FDI software to read Amiga floppy disks on PC (experimental version, requires two floppy drives)
  • Tutorials and FAQs on data sharing, emulation, floppy disks, serial links, TCP/IP, UAE, Fellow and much more.
  • All software tested on Windows XP
  • MPEG-1 videos: The Deathbed Vigil (one hour and 58 minutes, i.e. the full version of this "must have" video) and Jay Miner Speech (49 minutes)*
  • Dozens of other enhancements and add-ons
* = CD-ROM version only (both standard and upgrade). The Online Edition includes 1.3 and 3.1 ROMs (sufficient both for classic games and for the most recent software). CDTV and CD³² ROMs are also included in the downloadable Amiga Forever Plus Pack. The MPEG videos are only included on the CD-ROM (both standard and upgrade). The CD-ROM contains version 5.0, with free online upgrade to version 5.2 using Software Manager (included).

The Amiga emulation software on the Amiga Forever CD-ROM comes preinstalled and preconfigured for Windows. The Amiga ROM and OS files can be used by any implementation of the Amiga emulators, including for example Unix/Linux (UAE comes with source code), Be, PowerMac, etc. These emulators are constantly updated, and can be downloaded from the sites listed in the Home Pages section of the navigation bar.

Pricing:
CD-ROM: 59.95 Euro
CD Upgrade: 34.95 Euro (nba)
