Amiga Future: 15 new full versions online / Support wanted
Press release The download area of the Amiga Future homepage has been updated again. There are new full versions online. New downloads are highlighted in the download database. Additionally there is an overview of new downloads at the lower border of the download page. Furthermore there have been updates to the descriptions and screenshots of some downloads.
The Amiga Future is a non-profit project. That's why the Amiga Future homepage has to completely manage itself in terms of financing. The about 8 GB containing homepage is entirely paid by advertising, donations and our own private money. Especially the development of new expansions, databases and features is really expensive. That's why we ask you to support us by donating money. It allows us to make the homepage more user friendly and comprehensive. (snx)

Back to the Roots: Server-Crash
Ralf Steines wrote: Unfortunately here come bad news. Recently a Raid5-Array was damaged so two harddrives lost their data. Despite of rescue attempts almost all data were lost which were saved in ther main archive and on the FTP server.
The main archive has got a backup server which unfortunately cannot save the high amount of data on the FTP-server. We have a loss of nearly 2,6 millions (nearly all Amiga-) files.
Thank God, in winter the whole archive was checked for viruses. Additionally ca. 20.000 new disk archives and ca. 50.000 virus protocols were uploaded which were almost all (online) lost. Thanks to the virus tests ca. 95% of the lost data are morrored offline.
Therefore it will take a while until all data will be uploaded to the FTP. With a home-DSL connection it will take ca. half of a year. Until then the main archive is available on the replacement server (automatic redirect). The FTP-server will stay offline until the first upload will be done.
Of course the whole archive will be recovered but it will take a while. The affected harddrives were all completely financed with donations 4 years ago.
If anybody is interested in supporting the new acquisition: On each download site there is a donation link. We will try to expand the main site (3 TB) and to get a mirror with the whole archive.

Music CD: Second edition of Symphonic Shades
Press release Sold out way too quick in December last year, now it is back! With its transparent standard-tray the new edition is lower priced than the first edition. All other details incl. CD content and the extensive booklet with interview, photos and artwork are identical.
The CD presents all songs of the concert performed in August 2008 in Cologne, which was a world-premiere: Minimalist homecomputer sounds turned into arrangements for 120 musicians of orchestra and choir - a complete symphonic concert dedicated to the works of one video game musician exclusively.
The name of this person is Chris Huelsbeck, who is regarded as legend among enthusiasts for his music in game classics of the C64- and Amiga-homecomputer era such as "Giana Sisters" or "Turrican". The songs were rearranged by demoscene legend Jonne Valtonen (aka Purple Motion / Future Crew), director was Grammy-winning artist Arnold Roth. (snx)

Guru Meditation: The Amiga Joyboard
According to the legend the name "Guru Meditation" is derived from a game which the original Amiga developers played with a self-made joystick replacement called Joyboard as soon as the Amiga prototypes did not work any longer.
Exactly this game Ian Bogost has implemented now - for the Atari VCS. 25 years ago such a Joyboard was offered for it as well. This limited edition which has only 10 pieces consisting of game modul, Atari VCS-console and an original Amiga Joyboard (!). If you are interested in you should contact Bogost per eMail.
If you miss this offer you can buy an iPhone version in Apple's AppStore - but without Joyboard.

Individual Computers: New production run of the Competition Pro joystick
Press release In cooperation with Speed-Link we re-launched the only true joystick in september 2006: The Competition PRO for connection to a C64, Atari, Amiga, MSX and Amstrad/Schneider. The project was a huge success, only a few resellers can ship the cult device from the eighties at the moment.
Since an end to the demand is not forseeable, we started a new production run together with Speed-Link. Brand new joysticks for computer-classics of the eighties will be available in july of this year. The technical data in short:
- A true classic, an icon of retro-gaming
- Connects to all retro systems like Amiga, C64, Amstrad/Schneider CPC, Atari, MSX
- Six microswitches, two axles, four fire buttons
- Upper fire buttons can be switched off
- Cable length of 1.80 meters (5.9 ft)
The new production run of the Competition PRO Retro was financially supported by our retail partners. The following resellers will carry the new joysticks exclusively until december 31st, 2009:
Speed-Link will also sell a small quantity of the Competition PRO Retro in their Online-Shop. The new joysticks will be available in july 2009 for a price of 14,99 EUR (RRP incl. German VAT of 19%). Also look for bundle-offers at the reseller of your choice!
Our smaller, but not less important resellers Protovision and Alinea-Computer still have a small quantity of the Competition PRO Retro in stock; if you don't want to wait until july, you can order the ultimate gaming device for your favourite computer without any delays! (snx)

Game: BOH-Update
The commercial game BOH (amiga-news.de reported) was updated and is now available for Mac OS X as well.
Changes:
- Makes the game run natively on MacOS X Tiger/Leopard machines
- Adds zooming to full screen modes
- Allows the choice of the screen mode among those notified by the system
- Replaces zooming routines with more optimized ones (especially 3x and 4x)
- Adds the possibility of disabling interpolation (for slow computers)
- Adds the possibility of disabling the rendering of barriers
- Improves a bit the original themes
- Enriches slightly the Evil Masters AI
- Adds timer ticking during time-limited missions
- Adds map zooming
- Adds the option of sorting missions by difficulty
- Allows the use of joypads/joysticks with just 1 button
- Fixes the following bugs:
- Bad joypad handling (detection was inhibited by a '2' in place of a '1'; sometimes up/down movement could stick)
- [PAGE UP/DOWN] handling (repeat delay handling was missing)
- A bad optimization of ray-tracing routine (which had no practical effects thanks to the way maps and themes were made)
- Improves and extends the user's manual
- Links the AmigaOS 4 version to libSDL 1.2.13
- Applies some other minor changes
