New UAE JIT Patch Available
"Just a quick note --- there is a new "bleeding edge" patch for UAE-JIT for Linux.
It fixes some minor problems, and adds some important changes to the JIT compiler.
If you had stability problems in the past, you might want to try this one. I have
made a source patch and a few pre-built binaries available. Please understand that
this is more or less a snapshot of work in progress, not a full "release" (can't
have a release --- the Premier League had last weekend off due to an international
;-), and as such requires you to know what you are doing.
I am fairly confident that the source compiles, and that the binaries are actually
built for what they claim to be built form, but that is about as far as I'll go....
;-)
If you haven't used UAE-JIT before, and plan to download one of the new binaries,
PLEASE also download the "patch against pristine sources" from the Derby County
release. You don't want the patch, but you *definitely* want the documentation that
comes with the same archive!

WinUAE 0.8.14 Release 2 Available
At the title link, release 2 of the WinUAE version 0.8.14 is available. With WinUAE, you
can emulate an Amiga on your PC.
New in release 2:
- FIXED: Picasso96 screen-modes weren't being drawn/updated correctly.
- FIXED: Sound-buffer slider gets disabled when no audio output is selected.
- FIXED: German GUI DLL is accurate now. (Thanks Georg)
- ADDED: Flicker-free Amiga screen updates when full-screen. Doesn't affect Picasso96 screens, though.
- CHANGED: Sound output tweaked again, should be "slightly" better.

New SSTV-Software for Radio Amateurs
At the link comm/misc/af_mksstv.lha a test version
of a program for sending pictures through SSTV (narrow band television) is for download. At the moment you only can send
pictures by using
the modus Martin M1. No special hardware is required. The output is realized over the audio output of the Amiga -
you will hear a 114 seconds long whistle. The recommended hardware is a A1200 with OS3.0, but a faster one would be better.
User comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcomed. A further development depends on the user respond.

Pegase V1.8d
Marcel Rohles writes:
Didier Levet released four updates of the MPEG-Layer-2-encoders Pegase between 31.08.2000 and 09.09.2000.
In addition to bugfixes and little changes, the audio-model has been improved. Now there is nearly no
difference between original and copy with a 160 kbit coded AIFF.
Unfortunately there were no responses during the last weeks, so he thinks that noone uses Pegas
e anymore or there is no interest in further versions.
Especially on pure 68k-Amigas there is in my opinion no alternative to Pegase - MP§-encoding without
PPC takes too much time.
Pegase offers compression-times of 2:1 on my Cyberstorm MK I (50 MHz) and a really good quality of
the encoded songs, often even better than free MP3-encoders.
Download: Pegase.lha

Amiga Link Directory
Bad news: While uploading new functions the database has accidentially been overwritten
with an older version. Six entries since August 26 2000 are lost. Only the last three entries could be
restored from the browser-cache. Please just add your website again.
We are thinking of a better backup-method so that such things can't happen in the future again.
