Event: First reports of Alchimie X (update)
On the first day of the Alchimie X in France, there were the following news about Minimig and AmigaOS 4:
- The announced software surprise for AmigaOS 4.1 was a DVD with over 70 game ports provided by Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel.
- Secondly, ACube Systems lifted the secret about the "MiniMig+", which is as fast as a 68030-processor with 30 MHz. An ARM-chip, 32 MB RAM (can be upgraded up to 64 MB), 8 MB chip-RAM, two USB-ports, network connection, realtime clock, two SD-card readers and 18-Bit-video output are integrated. The FPGA is twice as big as before and thus sufficiently big for an AGA-core. It will be half as large as the Mini-ITX-format. The project will be not finished in near future.
- Additional to the DVD, Hugues Nouvel has released five new games for AmigaOS 4.1, which are mainly Egoshooter (World Of Padman, a new version of ioQuake, Smokin'Guns, Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and Tremulous) as well as the puzzle game Dale Hardshovel.
Update:
- On Sunday for MorphOS 3.4 the following facts have been announced:
- Support of non-native PowerBook screen resolutions
- Improved support of R300-based graphic boards (Radeon 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800)
- Highly improved AGP-transfer rates on G5-computers (by a factor of 5, up to 1,2 GB/s) and bug fixed 16-Bit screen resolutions
- Improved network-stack (speed and configuration)
- Password protection of the screen (during booting the computer or after inactivity)
- MorphOS 3.5 will be a bug fix release
- MorphOS 3.6 is supposed to include the following components:
- Support of modern graphic boards
- Support of further G5-models
- Javascript-JIT for Odyssey-Webbrowser
- CUPS-Integration
- SSHFS and SMBFS via FUSE
