MorphOS: Updates of the AmiNetRadio player GMEmu, sc68 and STSound
The AmiNetRadio plugins GMEmu, sc68 and STSoundare available in Version 3.0 for MorphOS now.
With these plugins several music file formats from the Atari ST and some consoles by Sega and Nintendo can be replayed.
The GMEmu.player is based onf Blargg's Game Music Emulation library by Shay Green.
The following formats are supported:
- Nintendo NES (.nsf)
- Nintendo Super NES (.spc)
- Nintendo Gameboy (.gbs)
- Sega Master System (.vgm, .vgz)
- Sega Mega Drive (.gym)
These files may applied as gzip and the nsf and gbs files may contain subsongs.
The plugin for the sc68 formats is based on the sc68 library by Benjamin Gérard. Beside the known from the Atari ST and vom Amiga 68 format
(with arond 90 different replay routines and multiple subsongs per file) sndh files (Atari ST) are replayed also.
Selection of subsongs is done with the time position slider.
The STSound.player uses the same called library by Arnaud 'Leonard' Carré to replay
ym file from the Atari ST. The non GPL plugin is approved by the author.

BarsnPipes: Tools Joy2Drum and Joystick released
Alfred J. Faust has released two ne tools for BarsnPipes, Joy2Drum and Joystick.
Joy2Drum
Joy2Drum contains two tools which use a joystick for MIDI input. Initially written for the drum track, now "normal" notes input is possible, too.
Usage requires some practise.
Joystick
Joystick emulates an analog joystick like can be found at some modern synthesizers. It is possible to control two realtime events by mouse (e.g. volume and reverb).
Configuration of he tool is free to choose by the user. Like usual with BarsnPipes, the events can be recorded directly to a track.

MorphOS: OS4Emu 1.8 allows the use OS4 libraries with MorphOS
With version 1.8 of the wrapper OS4Emu by Illka Lehtoranta support for OS4 native libaries has been added in that kind that these may be used now just like if
they were libraries for MorphOS.
To use OS4 libraries with OS4Emu it is required to rename them with the extension '.os4' and to copy them to the directory 'SYS:OS4Emu/Libs'.
Then bind them with the commands 'assign LIBS: SYS:OS4Emu/Libs ADD' and 'PatchLoadSegOS4 OPENLIBPATCH'.
Due to their suffix '.os4' the same library may be installed to the system twice, as MorphOS and as OS4 version - is the native version not available
the OS4 version is used instead.
Please note that not all AmigaOS4 libraries can be used with MorphOS. Yet only several cross calls between MorphOS and AmigaOS4 are suported.
The direct objekt interface (DoMethod(), SetAttrs(), etc.) works, but the hook interface (CallHookPkt()) not.
The following AmigaOS4 libraries do therefor not work under MorphOS:
- MUI classes (MUI custom classes, mcc)
- BOOPSI classes (3rd party ReAction classes)
- mpega.library (there is an additional problem also...)
Datatypes may or may not work.
Further improvements in V1.8:
- Bugfix at the calls MatchFirst(), MatchNext(), MatchEnd(), AllocDosObject() and FreeDosObject() from the dos.library, fixes also the
LOCCounter error
- Bugfix and improvement for calling functions from the intuition.library, gadtools.library and exec.library as well as the ReAction emulation classes;
from the GadTools fix the AmigaOS4 version of SGrab benefits, but there is still a problem with the menu.
- Addition of the function EncodeColor() to the P96 wrapper
From the currently 139 tested AmigaOS4 programs 75 are known to work flawless; 19
more seem to work also, but were tested only briefly; the remaining 45 programs do not work yet.

Team AROS: Bounty #33 placed for back porting of the MorphOS shell commands
Neil Cafferkey initiated the bounty project #33 of Team AROS. The reward was placed for the back porting of the shell commands taken over by MorphOS.
The only pre-condition is the bugfixing of commands normally already existing in the C directory of AROS - there's no need of an enhancement of the functionality.
Malfunctions due to errors in other software layers do not affect the bount, either.
In exchange to this he withdrew bounty #26. This project had the goal to make the VESA graphics mode selectable without adaptated GRUB boot loader.

Happy Birthday, Amiga!
20 years ago the Amiga was shown to the world public. As representative for all the "crazy ones" who still can't get away from the world's best computer system we let our reader Patric Klöter speak who indeed did write a n anniversary :
"Happy Birthday, dear Amiga! Today, 20 years ago, you were shown for the first time to the world public and it was in the New York Lincoln Center. Andy Warhol, Debby Harry and many other famous people were there to see your birth as first of all multimedia machines. In Deinen ersten Lebensabschnitten hast Du große Erfolge gefeiert, gefolgt vom Verlust Deiner Mutter, Commodore, und Deines Vaters, Jay Miner im Jahre 1994. Als Waise fandest Du Zuflucht bei Petro Tyschtschenko, der Dir im Sommer 1995 ein neues Zuhause bieten konnte.
Weltweit millionenfach verkauft, kannst Du zwar heute keine wirtschaftlichen Erfolge mehr feiern, aber die vielen Freunde, welche Dir beiseite standen, sind geblieben. Auch heute noch kümmern sich viele Amiganer rund um den Globus um Deine Gesundheit und haben es auch geschafft, Dir in fremden Welten ein Zuhause zu geben. Dir, lieber Amiga, wünsche ich noch ein schönes, erfülltes, langes, digitales Leben in der Welt der Bits und Bytes. Du hast es Dir verdient!
And don't forget: Good friends are the most important thing in the world!
Your friend Patric"

SN-ListDatei v1.2 - webmaster update
There's a new version of SN-ListDatei available on the sn-archiv.de homepage. SN-ListDatei lists all files of a directory including all sub-directories with date and file size.
New in version 1.2 is the support for webmasters who want their files being handled in specific ways by search engines, e.g. Google. For locking files the file "robots.txt" and for the direct indexing the file "sitemap.txt" can be generated, both accepted for example by Google. The archive contains an image showing Google having accepted the "sitemap.txt". Furthermore, there are three new functions to remove files from the list:
- Removing HTML files (e. g. for robots.txt)
- Only HTML and text files remain (e.g. for sitemap.txt)
- Removing files by using pattern
In the future there'll probably be the possibility to generate a XML file for sitemaps, the standard format for such uses. Right now, only a simpe Text file is created that is accepted at least by Google.
There are two new subdomains for the pages of www.sn-archiv.de:
There were some additons to the Euro collectors site, too.

MorphOS: Alpha-Version von MUI 4
Stefan Stuntz has released an alpha version of MUI 4.0. The author describes this version as "not ready for a while yet" and speaks of "various rough edges."
Changes in this version:
For users:
- All mui programs react in realtime on prefs changes.
- New and much improved background & frame requesters.
- New color requester with many options, fancy triangle, old-fashioned
wheel, linked gradients, etc.
- New image browser.
- Complete asl replacement, fancy file & font requesters.
- New pubscreen manager with skin preview.
- Dont forget to try context menus on all new elements!
- ...
For programmers:
- List class changed completely (subclass of group now), has nice columns, handles scrollbars etc by itself, no more ugly listview->list construct needed. this "list being subclass of group" might be the main reason for incompatibilities, especially with the way older apps use the notify system. Listview.mui is obsolete and mainly an empty shell now.
- MUI finally has a proper multiline text entry class: Textinput.mcc was
built in as "String.mui". an empty Textinput.mcc is supplied as well to
map older apps to the new internal string class. Support in the main
prefs program is still missing, use Textinput.mcp for now.
- You can embed a filerequester if you like, use "Filepanel.mui" and
control with the usual ASLFR_ tags.
- New class for easy sub-process handling.
- ...
The corresponding developer documents (Autodocs) are included in the archive.

New "adtools" project forces development on GCC, GDB, binutils etc.
Maintained by famous Amiga developers like Thomas Frieden, Hans-Jörg Frieden, Olaf Barthel, Andrija Antonijevic, Stefan Burström, Gunther Nikl
and Jens Langner the new sourceforge.net open source project (adtools) has been started. it aims to
pu all future development on development tools like GCC, binutils andd GDB under one roof to a common development platformn.
Beside the already supported platforms like AmigaOS4/PPC support for MorphOS/PPC and others (e.g. AmigaOS3/m68k or AROS) is planed also.
At the already set up CVS respository for this new project one might view the current development state.
It includes the sources of the changes to the GCC 4.0.0 compiler which allows to build AmigaOS4/PPC programs.
it is planed for the future to provide binaries also. One will be able to chose the compiler version of choice and simply download the package.
All in all this project aims to bundle all development on GCC, GDB, binutils
and other Amiga development tools to eventually get to that point where those famous projects will integrate Amiga relevant changes directly to their
distributions.
Interested developers of all Amiga flavours (AmigaOS4, MorphOS, AmigaOS3, AROS) are called to join this effort and participate actively. (ps) (Translation: ub)

File system: SmartFileSystem 1.245
The latest version of the alternative file systems Smart Filesystem (SFS) recognizes too big partitions now (see below) and
will not format those.Existing over sized partitions are accessable in read only mode.
Current maximum sizes for SFS formated partitions:
- 64 GB at 512 bytes/block
- 128 GB at 1024 bytes/block
- 256 GB at 2048 bytes/block
- 512 GB at 4096 bytes/block
- 1 TB at 8192 bytes/block
- 2 TB at 16384 or 32768 bytes/block
If one of your partitions exceeds these maximum values it is very recomended not to use older versions of SFS any longer: Somewhen a data loss will happen!

AHT: Work-in-progress pictures of the graphics card daVinci
Following the title link you can find first pictures of the announced Zorro III graphics card daVinci (working title: AmiVD) developed by AHT International BV. The company is moving from Great Britain to Stellendam in the NEtherlands.
The board's development has reached beta state and is running without limitations (2D, 3D and DMA). Still to do are firther quality tests as well as driver adaptions for further PCI cards including sound cards.
The graphics card daVinci has an additional free PCI slot enabling the use of a selected number of PCI cards. Both slots are completely DMA enabled.
Depending on the asked number of boards is a Zorro II version still a possibility but this needs quite a few changes in the software.
Further information are available on the website of AHT as soon as they can be given.

AmigaOS4: Support of ESI Juli@ soundcards
Because of a AHI driver by Davy Wentzler AmigaOS4 now also supports the high-quality
soundcard Juli@
from ESI/Egosys. The digital, MIDI- and Stereo-LineIn and -Out of the card are supported
which also offers playing and recording up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit as well as the choice
between RCA- and TRS-port.
The support of the card is managed by the Envy24HT driver which already also allows
the use of soundcards Terratec Aureon 5.1 Sky, 7.1 Space, Phase28 and M-Audio
Revolution.
The author points out that the chips of the card obviously have been changed (from
a Envy24 to a Env24HT or Envy24HT-S). Possibly different codecs were used. The
soundcard used by Davy Wentzler was new if you buy a new card it would work.
The driver will be available in the OS4Depot during the next days.
The author thanks Krister Skrtic for the support developing the driver of this card
as well as Egosys for making available the complete source code (!)
and the documentation of the Windows drivers.

MorphOS: D2A-Patch integrates Magellan-Lister to Ambient
The Dopus2Ambient-Commoditypatch written by Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek and Marcin 'MorgothDCaps' Kurek
is a hack which makes it possible to open Magellan-Lister with a double click
in Ambient.
The ARexx-interface is used for it. Additional to ARexx Magellan and Ambient
(therefore also the icon.library and workbench.library) have to be started.
In order to hide the Magellan window the backdrop-modus must be deactivated. Now
you can start D2A and/or copy it to your WBStartup directory.
Please also note the known problems which are described in the Readme-file.

Emulator: PSP-UAE 0.31 for the Playstation Portable
Christophe Thibault has ported the Amiga emulator to the handheld console PSP ("PlayStation Portable") by Sony (screen shot). Our reader 'shad' estimates the reached speed of the emulation still a bit low (~70%) but compatibility seems to be pretty good.
Changes in version 0.31:
- Chip memory set to 2mb so Monkey Island works again.
- File selector improvements.
- Added options menu.
To use the emulator a firmware version 1.00 or 1.50 is required. Note that the emulator uses the 333 MHz processor clock. (cg) (Translation: ub)

MorphOS: Bulldog 1.4, mod plugin for AmiNetRadio
BullDog 1.4
Rupert Hausberger's program BullDog loads data from the usenet using nzb descriptions (screen shots:
1, 2, 3). The new version fixes several bugs:
- Fixed stupid bug in the yEnc decoder, which marked yEnc-singlepart files as incomplete.
- Fixed another bug in the xml-decoder. Now subjects without the "(1/1)" ending get recognized correctly.
- Fixed bug in UU-multipart routine, now saving works correctly.
- Added workaround for nasty comments in segment-bodys, caused wrong decoding of some files.
