Individual Computers: Indivision AGA Mk2 ready to delivery
The announced next generation of the Flickerfixer Indivision AGA produced by Individual Computers will be delivered at the end of the month. Two models can be chosen.
The Flickerfixer Indivision AGA Mk2 A1200/4000T is the follow-up model of the Indivision AGA 1200 which is not available any longer and can now also be used in the Amiga 4000T. For users of the desktop version of the Amiga 4000 as well as of the Amiga CD³² the Indivision AGA Mk2 A4000/CD32 is available.
The Mk2-generation now has a monitor output and provides an improved performance. Instead of the VGA-port it has a DVI-I-port.
Currently only to experts it is recommended to buy it because the configuration programm as well as the flash-software is still in development. At the moment the Indivision AGA Mk2 can only display PAL and NTSC-screen modes without problems. You should be able to download updates from the Internet and to transfer them to the Amiga.

APC&TCP: DigiBooster replayer DigiRoller 1.1
DigiRoller is a standalone replayer for DigiBooster Pro 2.x and DigiBooster 3 music modules. Version 1.1 contains the latest replayer engine featuring AHI-independent DSP echo effect.
The latter is backward compatible with old echo (V till Z commands are fully supported), but the effect is processed inside the engine, so it is always active. Echo in AHI may be safely turned off. Additional feature of the new echo (which will be used in DigiBooster 3) is a new echo mode (command V2), where each track can have independent echo parameters.
Another new feature is phase assisted stereo panoraming. Positioning instruments with not only amplitude, but also small phase shifts improves the music experience.
DigiRoller 1.1 includes other improvements in the replayer as well:
working sample offsets (commands 9 and E7) and fixes to B and D commands.
DigiRoller is a free program for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS and may be downloaded from the DigiBooster site at the title link. (snx)

Curiosity: Amiga games with anaglyph 3D display (Update 2)
It's a little known fact that even on the Amiga, there were attempts at generating a proper 3D display: there are a few titles that use anaglyph projection - known for the '3D glasses' with different colored filters in front of each eye - to create a stereo display.
The first effort was Tim Kemp's 1986 game 3D Breakout (screenshots: 1, 2). A year later "Forms in Flight" was released in the US: a graphics programm that could display the three dimensional objects in proper 3D (screenshot). In December 1990 Third Dimension from the Cryptoburners was published as the first scene demo in 3D (Youtube video).
Armin Harich's 3D Motorrad was published in an issue of the disk magazine "Amigo!" in 1992. In December that same year, the scene group Spaceballs released their classic demo State of the Art, which features a 3D scene at about half of its running time (Screenshot).
Note: All mentioned titles require red/blue 3D glasses (red filter for the left eye). If you know other games or demos using this technique, we would appreciate if you could let us know.
Update 2: (18.04.2012, 15:00, cg)
Our readers pointed out some more titles using anaglyph projection:
Update: (16.04.2012, 22:30, cg)
Added 'Third Dimension' and '3D Motorrad'. (cg) (Translation: dr)
