Eternity - New Distributor of the MAS-player
Since October 1st, 2000 Eternity took over the distribution of the MAS-Player in
cooperation with Dirk Conrad. The MAS-Player is a hardware MP3-player that can be used
with every Amiga parallel interface. The program plays MP3's in 18bit and
44kHz with very low CPU usage and is therefore the best and cheapes solution for playing MP3-files
with an Amiga computer.
A techpage will follow. Eternity will ask Thomas Wenzel if he would support the
MAS-Player with his AmigaAmp. Eternity will offer a 6 month guarantee.
Examples of Usage:
- Amiga 4000/A1200 with MAS-Player. Listen to MP3-music without using the PPC or
68k processor. Your processor is available for other tasks
- Amiga CDTV with MAS-Player could play MP3's directly from CD.
- Amiga 500/600 with MAS-Player could be a replacement for your hifi-radio. The
integrated MP3-player-software uses PAL. There for you can use a TV.
- Amigas located in professional soundstudios could encode MP3 (using the processor)
and play MP3's at the same time (using the MAS-Player)

SoundFX Status
What is build in and what is planed for SoundFX version 4.1?
- The MPEG-Saver were totaly rewriten (now with own presets)
- Enrico Meyer compiled the new version of LAME without using libSoundFile thats why
it works with SoundFX now.
- The author Stefan Kost encoded the first whole CD by using the batch-processor.
- The SoundFX-menu contains now a MRU-list (MostRecentUsed).
- And a lot more bugfixes (thanks to the SoundFX-mailinglist).

New LAMEbeta Version 3.87
New LAME beta version 3.87! Ok, first off, since version 3.87 LAME no
longer works with SecondSpin without changing the code and recompiling,
thus LameSpin no longer works, and is no longer included, sorry! :/
On the good note this version is slightly faster, especially the PPC
version! ;) (Note, WarpOS still has problems .. this is most likely
either ppclibemu or WarpOS's fault since it works fine with PowerUP
and MorphOS) From now on the 060 and PPC version use LAME's internal
mpglib for decoding, so if you still want to use mpega.library (which
is much faster), use the 040 version...

New CD-Rom for Movieshop
Starding today the 3rd issue of 'Space-Effects' is available from Elastic Images. The CD
contains video sequences that can be used in (mainly Movieshop) video productions. The scenes are
available as Movieshop's own sequence format and as single-frame-sequences, so you can use the clips with every
Movieshop version.
Every clip can be integrated in a currently opend Movieshop project directly from CD. A short
preview is available at the homepage at 'Software/Video-CDs'.

AmiWolfenDoom Website Moved, and one Appeal
The AmiWolfenDoom homepage has moved and is now available at www.antibyte.de (titlelink). Robert
Wahnsiedler is still on the hunt for a person that is able to modify the ADoom-engine for making
Ninja-, Simpson and Batman-Doom possible. According to the downloadrates of AmiWolfenDoom the
interest of the users is very high.
For the modifycations you must have C/Assembler skills and you have to read the docs. There are no
major changes to make but the DEH support must be revisde (patch of the internal
graphic/sound/textroutines by using a Ascii-file with commands). For example there is no
recognition of text. This causes games that use these kind of functions to crash.
appeal
Furthermore Robert Wahnsiedler is looking for someone who is willing to modify the game
Imperium Terranum II for the Amiga community. The sourcecode is public available and there
is an absolutely resourceful StarTrek addon available. The main problem is that it does not run very good
on graphics boards, the only way is to use a tool like NewMode, but this is a not very stable
solution. If you are interested, please contact Robert Wahnsiedler.

Amiga Arena News
The TextLoaderNG keyfile is now freely available for all Amiga users! Every visitor of Amiga
Arena can download the keyfile. After releasing it for Amiga Arena CD ROM users Pascal Gisin
agreed to release the keyfile for all users. I would like to say thank you for doing so!
TextLoaderNG is a Hex editor with many functions, for example:
- Filter for Word, Wordperfect, MSWork, ANSI, FinalWriter, Wordworth and many more
- HTML-code removing
- converter
- text encoding
The development of TextloaderNG will go on and the program will run without a keyfile in future.
