Payback Status Report #17 On 30. December 2000 James Daniels has released the status report #17 regarding the game 'Payback'. The game now offers additionally a multiplayer deathmatch mode for up to 4 players. To do this much had to be changed in the source code and therefor much work had to be put into this mode as the game wasn't design for supporting a multiplayer mode first. But the work was, according to James Daniels, worth it. Screens of the multiplayer mode are released on the screenshots page. The latest photos there also contain the improved textures. Besides that the game now supports also the CD32 controller, and several bugs have been fixed. [News message: 31. Dec. 2000, 17:16] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Warp3D and PCI Graphics Boards Recently Hans-Jörg Frieden has expressed himself in our forum regarding the topic driver software for PCI graphics boards under Warp3D: «Unfortunately the number of e-mails regarding Warp3D and PCI cards accumulates for Thomas and me. Almost every time it is "I have purchased a card of the brand XXX, when will you have 3D drivers ready?"... Regarding this I want to say the following: Warp3D is and will continue to be a hobby project that is cooking on smaller flame as for now, because of the time consumption of Hyperion. If possible we'll write drivers. Nevertheless I will explicitly point out, that the buying of a graphics card is no cogent reason for us to produce a driver for it - as that takes quite some time. There will probably be no driver for Voodoo 5 (V4 is questionable but more likely), none for GeForce, Riva TNT, ATI Rage or whatever else, especially when there exists no chip documentation. Neither we will attempt to recycle a Linux driver. In the case that somebody could get some chip documentation (legal!) and make it available for us the chances for a driver increase but this is no guarantee either.» Via email Hans-Joerg adds that this is no kind of arbitrariness but only a hint that people shouldn't waste their money for graphics cards that can't be supported simply because of the lack of time or documentation... We are getting mails all the time from people asking for GeForce support or Voodoo 5 but for those documentation isn't accessible. We have tried it even at NVidia, without success, even not against NDA... :-( [News message: 31. Dec. 2000, 01:26] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

(showroom tower: Blizzard 1260, Private: CyberstormPPC 233/060/50). A question concerning this subject: Is there interest to buy the Mediator-PCI Board/ PCI graphics board directly with a licensed version of the Picasso96 drivers? If you are interested please send an email to martin@coolbits.de. If there is enough interest I will contact the makers of the drivers to ask for the price of such a deal.

Amiga Sound Standards and How to Destroy Them (Part 1) Joern Plewka wrote: In the past Katodev had to fight the fact that internally there wasn't enough menpower available. That's why it was impossible for us to participate in certain discussions. The things that head towards us now (criticism about AMPlifier) is from our point of view hard and "generated". Katodev and others are trying to support all of the existing standards those usable from concept. We'd like to point out that the mpeg.device has been released 1993 by Commodore (picture and sound). All cards with hardware MPEG-support that were released after that have used this driver. CD32-FMV, Peggy+, Melody-Z2, Melody1200 series and also the Delfina series. For the later even the source code is available on Aminet. Those who are now still not capable of writing a correct driver for their hardware should simply ask for help or make their hardware layout available for everyone! AMPlifier supports this standard. Those who create a driver for their hardware can use this software unlicensed. AMPlifier is part of OS3.9 or available on our homepage (unrestricted shareware) in Rev. 2.21. Those who don't like the software should write their own, but please support the standards! [News message: 30. Dec. 2000, 07:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Silversurfer does NOT Work with Melody1200 Joern Plewka wrote: Since the Cologne fair previous to this year's fair the Silversurfer in it's original state doesn't work correctly with Melody1200 since the complete clockport is blocked, which is in contradiction with what the manufacturer states at his homepage. This information isn't even available to users when they ask for support. Katodev is fed up with fixing Silversurfers without complaining, by now. Currently it seems that even the software does NOT work with Melody1200 anymore. If Silversurfer and Melody1200 can't work together simultaneoulsy it means that Melody can die from bus-collisions, sooner or later. Please get a guaranty on purchase that Silversurfer does the things you require or use Twister1200. This makes you preventing a lot of anger, port and time for you and us. We have reconstructed the layout of the Silversurfer now. This shows that the IRQ runs over a diode. Those having problems due to this "trick" should replace the diode by a transistor (e.g. BS170).

VirusHelp Denmark: New Informationen on New Trojan I have received some new info about the new trojan that was found on the 27'th of December. It is spread in an archive with the name "dcs-4k.lha". But the demo group have nothing to do with this new trojan. We have also been told that it is a guy from England and that he also made the "dkg-blum.lha" trojan, his name and address is known to Virus Help Denmmark. Thanks to Mikko for the new info. Here once more the full information on the new archive (we had posted these on 12/27/2000 already): Today we received a new 'lame' trojan. This trojan will delete your "sys:" if you run the program. At this time non of the anti-virus programs can detect this trojan, but in the next update they will be known. The cure right now (If you have lost your SYS: to bad......), then you will have to try and get the files back with eg. DiskSalv, AB-Tools or VT-Schutz. Here is some info about the infected archive: Virus Type.... : Trojan Trojan name....: 4KIntro.exe Trojan size....: 4096 bytes (packed with StoneCracker 4.04) : 6072 bytes (un-packed) Archive name.. : dcs-4k.lha Archive size.. : ?
