CD32 & CDTV Emulator Akiko (for Windows) Version 1.5
Akiko 1.5, the CD32 & CDTV emulator for Windows was just released
on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
This version is a major update with many new features and cool improvements:
For example it's now possible to boot CD32 & CDTV games directly
from their ISO image or from a folder on your harddisk. Additionally
you can put the audio tracks as MP3s on your harddisk and Akiko will
use and play them also (so you can also replace the music with your
favorite soundtracks!). Finally Akiko supports some new CD32 & CDTV
games and some fixes were done (concerning CD audio and Joypad emulation).
And I removed the code protections for Speris Legacy, Worms and
Alien Breed 3D because they are no longer necessary these days and
so they only nerv the users. Akiko 1.5 can now be downloaded from
the Airsoft Softwair web page (title link). (ps)

Amiga Future Website Changes to PHP
Today the Amiga Future homepage was changed to PHP. Some browsers don't seem to notice that, loading some pages in the cache, which causes them to be falsely displayed.
Should this happen to you, try reloading the page. If that doesn't help, send an email to Andreas Magerl.

Survey: the Future of "Digital Almanac"
Achim Stegemann writes: Because of the desolate situation of the Amiga I started this survey about the last surviving astronomy software for the Amiga.
Not only registered users of the software can take part in the survey. Anyone who is interested in Digital Almanac or such for the Pegasos or Amiga One board may take part.
You'll find the form for the survey on the homepage (under the above title link) in English and German. Further, I am encouraging all Amiga software developers to make public your sales targets. The full article may be found under the title link. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Microcode Solutions Website Closed
For the last few days the website of Microcode Solutions (iFusion) has been closed. The site displays "Website Closed."
At Emaculation it says, conversely, that Microcode Solutions has taken legal steps against Emaculation. However it does not explain why.
"We get Lawsuits!
In case you are wondering, Microcode Solutions and the makers of their hardware
card have threatened legal action against the operators of this website.
I will not be reporting on or promoting Microcode products in the future.
Any questions?"
If and to what extent there is a connection is not known. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Move of #AmigaFun IRC-Chats
Stefan Martens:
Today the IRC channel #AmigaFun is moving to a new IRC server network. Phat-Net will hopefully be our permanent home. We decided to take this step because of the problems with Altnet. A year ago the admins promised improvement, but the problems just got worse and worse, especially recently.
On top of that, the Altnet admins were not going to let more than 5 users on the HTML chat, utilized by amiga-news.de and amigafuture.de. At Phat-Net 15 users are allowed, and on request this number may be raised, for example for special events. So there will be fewer problems with the use of the HTML chat. Not to mention that PhatNet has services. Unfortunately I can't control the fact that everyone who has registered a nickname must register it again. This should present only a minor problem though, ask us and we'll be happy to help you with it.
Advantageous to everyone: Phat-Net is a German server, located right in the middle of Germany.
Current entry data for your IRC client:
IRC Server: irc.phat-net.de
Port: 6667
Channel: #amigafun
Windows chatters who don't want to install an IRC client will find on this homepage, since a while ago, a functional IRC Java client. You just have to enter your nickname and you can participate in the chat.
I would like to beg your pardon, if there are still a few problems with the Java/HTML chat. I'll try to keep the downtimes to a minimum. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Tobias Abt - Statement about Picasso96 on Mediator-ML
Tobias Abt, one of the original P96
programmers posted:
"Would there have been proper funding of our work because of licence fees
or at least a steady stream of registrations, we could have provided the
user base with Picasso96 v2 updates and new drivers. But that never
happened, so we concentrate our own efforts to work on projects that
will bring some cash in. Which means better support for Amithlon and OS4.
We will now mainly concentrate on v3 and OS4, so don't expect any more v2
releases."

- Localisation (German catalog included)
- and much more
Please read BnP_Addenum.guide if you want to have a closer look at the changes.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Michal Lanser
With his program "MP3TOCDDA" Michael Lanser enables decoding of MP3-songs to CDDA-files with the help of the MPEGA.library. Because the byte order can be chosen the CDDA-file can be directly burned on CD. In the interview Michael Lanser answered the questions of Amiga Arena.
