Adventure interpreter: ScummVM 0.9.1 (AmigaOS 4/MorphOS)
scummvm is a so called "Virtual Machine". With its help it is possible to play several classic Point'n-Click-Adventures on modern hardware. These are the most important changes in the newest version:
- Many fixes for Humongous Entertainment games and better support for international versions of the games
- Improved detection of the FM-TOWNS version of Indy3
- Several fixes for The Feeble Files and more non-English versions are supported now
- Some parts of the Kyrandia engine were rewritten so the game needs less CPU power now, and thus works better on lower-end devices
- The PSP, PS2 and WinCE ports were greatly improved
- The PalmOS port is again up-to-date and features separate build for Tapwave Zodiac
- The WinCE port supports 2002 devices again

Catalog Compiler: SimpleCat 3.00 Beta 6
Guido Mersmann has released a new version of his catalog compiler SimpleCat for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. With version 3, SimpleCat obtains a user interface, which should satisfy both developers and translators.
However, it must be pointed out that this is about a beta version, which is still partly incomplete. Since the manual is not updated yet, the online help does not work yet either. However, in the author's opinion, the MUI balloons should give sufficient support. (snx) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: Updates of three Reggae classes
Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski has published three updates of his MorphOS libraries for stream media:
- Bugfix in audio.output and update to 51.5. Added missing stream seek to the start after playback is finished at stream end. Makes it consistent with MMM_Stop (which rewinds stream too).
- netpbm.demuxer 51.2 now fully supports NetPBM "P1" subformat (monochrome plain text images). Internal buffering speeds up decoding of ASCII data.
- bitplane decoder 51.2 has internal buffering added as well. These are two first Reggae classes written in C++.

Custom chips: Clone-A news
Press release:
The prototype of our Clone-A project - a re-implementation of the Amiga-chipset with modern technology - has been demostrated at the AmiWest show last weekend in Sacramento, California. Many visitors followed our request to bring along disks and programs that put the compatibility of our chipset to the test. None of the programs were a problem for Clone-A. We're especially proud that a previously unpublished demo works fine with Clone-A. According to the author, it does not work properly on the emulator UAE. Special thanks for this go to Christian Herden who brought the demo to the Amiwest show.
Sound-magician Chris Hülsbeck approved of the exact audio playback of Clone-A. Even complicated music routines like the 7-voice title track of Turrican II and the unconventionally programmed ingame-sounds of Apidya were convincing to the ears of the master.
from left to right: Oliver Achten, Jens Schönfeld, Chris Hülsbeck, Christian Herden
Many users have requested Clone-A to be a PCI card for the current PPC boards on the market. As part of the Efika developer program, we offered to develop Clone-A into a PCI card that works with Efika and other PPC boards by BPlan. Today, our offer has been rejected.
Genesi's rejection will have no influence on further development of Clone-A. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Veranstaltung: Report from the AmiWest
Steven Solie resumes his impressions from the AmiWest (October 22, California) under the title link. The main items in brief:
The announced special guest was Bill McEwen from Amiga Inc., who would bring a prototype of a ppc mainboard. But McEwen had to cancel his appearance in the last minute, as his son was injured during a hokey match.
The author himself had a sample of Troika's PPC-motherboard "Panda", which should have been functional in theory. But Solie didn't want to take a risk and he will try the hardware in a more relaxed environment, therefore functional tests were not carried out. According to Solie Hyperion has already received Panda motherboards, and an external company was charged with the redesign of the licensed hardware.
Richard Drummond represented Hyperion and showed the AmigaOS 4-port of the strategy game Gorky 17.
A port of the astronomy software Digital Universe for AmigaOS 4 is in work, the latest beta version was presented at the exhibition.
The Amiga legend Carl Sassenrath was present and apparently very interested in the actual Amiga situation. Meanwhile Sassenrath is discussing his visions around the topic Amiga at the amigaworld.net in certain threads. (cg) (Translation: tz)
