Amiga Exotica (ANF)


Amiga Exotica Update
This section provides complete unmodified rips with full credits for all Amiga game sound tracks regardless of format. Unlike other collections available elsewhere on the internet, UnExoticA's archive hasn't been defaced with rip credits, which often replace comments left by the original composer.

Huge thanks to all the people who have worked hard to make this section. Full credits for the area can be read on its Main Page. At the time of writing the area contains 3440 files packed into 615 archives. That's 269 different composers! Uncompressed there is currently 212 Megabytes of music! (ps) (Translation: sk)

H&P won't leave the Amiga market

"There was a rumour at amiga.org saying that we would leave the Amiga market. This is not only complete nonsens but even hard to believe with reagard to the recently released AmigaOS XL and Freespace. Due to the fact that amiga.org is currently down I think that it was probably hacked by someone else." (ps) (Translation: sk)

New pictures of the Pegasos mainboard with MorphOS v0.8
Under the title link you can see the latest pictures of the Pegasos mainboard taken at bplan's on last Thursday. Short after this the machine traveled to Italy to the Pianete 2001. Michael Garlich, Titan Computer, picked it up in person last Friday.

Already now various Amiga applications and PCI hardware like graphic boards, network cards, TV cards, etc. are working full featured.

Until WOA 2001 about 10 developer systems of second generation - the PEGASOS2 design - will be available. This heralds the final lap to make the first fully working 'successor' of the latest Amiga generation definite reality. The new multiprocessing sysem and MultiOS machine will be available in different configurations and variations for endusers in 1Q02.

Soon we will make new announcements about this (ps) (Translation: mj)

Database: MySqld V4.0.0 (Alpha)
On 18. October 2001 version 4.0.0 of the MySqld archive for Amigas with 68040 CPU was released on the 'Da SixK Port Page'.

Version 4 is about a definite enhanced version of this databench allowing to implement previously missing features like requests within requests.

This version was not entirely tested by the MySQL team yet, what makes it alpha status.

As a first new feature one can test union-queries, which work good.

With 'InnoDb' a new format was added, but which does not work in the Amiga version yet and therefore is disabled in the startmysqld script. Who is able to find a way to use this feature on the Amiga might contact sixk@ifrance.com.

Who would like to use special fonts, just have a look at the startmysqld script and the mysql:languages/charsets/ directory.

More information about the MySQL version 4.0.0 released on 15. October are to find at www.mysql.com.

Tales of Tamar: Videos of the LARP I, the Ankou band
Around the 22nd of September the first LARP for 'Tales of Tamar' took place. Now, on the 19th of October a video of that meeting was published showing the beautifull landscape of the LARP area, some battles, the live in the tavern, and much more.

The video was done by Virtual Dimension, they made it up from several tapes. From their server the video is available for download in MPEG format at three different sizes.

On the LARP evenings an medieval band called 'Ankou' made music plenteously and thus cared for the proper ambience. Special was that the bard of the band made it to sing free-style for seven minutes. This piece of music was ripped off the video and is available for download as MP3 on the Tamar servers. (sd) (Translation: mj)

Event: Short report about the Pianeta 2001
There were some highlights to sight on the Pianeta Amiga 2001. Haage&Partner presented AmigaOS XL running on an 1.4GHz Athlon. The Amiga software compatibility is said to be very good. For example there were MooVID playing two movies in two windows at the same time.

VirtualWorks showed both of the new PCI solutions G-REX4000D and Mediator 4000 PCI in a show-case, but not working.

An absolute innovation was presented at the booth of Titan Computer where one was able to gaze at Candy Factory Pro running on the Pegasos system by bplan GmbH with MorphOS version 0.8.

Furthermore a new Italian print magazine called Bitplane and done by Nicola Morcutti was presented. This magazine is planned to be published bimonthly including a CD and will be available to subscribers only.

Other exhibitors are Darkage Software, Digital Equipment, AGI, Il Piccolo Emporio, and Mirko Cipolla (CIP060) who presented an A1200 with MediatorPCI, Voodoo, SoundBlaster, and TV card. (ps) (Translation: mj)

amiga-topcool is back
After a longer period of "thinking" the Amiga print magazine makes its presence felt again: colored and round. That means, from the autumn issue on will the amiga-topcool be released as CD-ROM rather than a print magazine. This can be expected by the subscribers:

  • A colored layout that's orientated along the print layout but readable in HTML format.
  • More pages as we aren't depending on printing costs anymore.
  • The possibility to advertise one's Amiga club to the max - 10 MB memory is space available for free for every Amiga club.
  • The latest PD software as well as demo versions.
How many times the amiga-topcool will be issued in the future depends on the drive of the number of free-lance worker that will hopefully grow in the future. The CD will be subdivided as follows:
  • 10 HTML pages up-to-date (interviews, ticker, press releases)
  • 10 HTML pages application (previews, news, reviews, topic)
  • 10 HTML pages game and fun (previews, news, reviews, Classic reviews, cheats)
  • 10 HTML pages community (Amiga club list - with 10 MB memory space per club, retailer list - with web appearances on CD, readers reactions, etc.)
  • software (PD, demos, maybe commercial full versions, too)
Further information will follow in the next days on our Internet site that will get a new look, too. The price of the CD is 10,- DM (including packing). (ps) (Translation: wk)

Full text Aminet search engine in alpha test
Some hours ago I've completed a somewhat finished version of my Aminet full text search engine. For now you find it on my local Amiga 4000 under the URL http://213.196.87.182/ (title link).

Full text means that the appr. 100 MB of the 70000 readme files will be searched through, too. Normally these search request need less than 2 seconds to be answered.

I'd like you to test it and give me suggestions for improvements asap. Happy alpha testing! (ps) (Translation: wk)

Event: World of Amiga South East
So are we! On Saturday 3rd of November 2001 the World of Amiga Southeast show is taking place at Poplars Hall, Shenfield, Essex, UK.
This is the ideal opportunity for you to come along and show all those who that think the Amiga market is dead where they can shove it!

We have worked tirelessly to bring you some of the biggest names in the Amiga Industry to World of Amiga Southeast 2001

Amiga, Elbox, Eyetech, Cloanto, & Pagan Games are amongst those who are attending the show ready to see in the new era of Amiga Computing with the eminent launch of the AmigaOne/SharkPPC Zico Spec Machines and beyond. James Daniels, Paul Burkey and Fleecy Moss are just some of the Amiga Celebes will be in attendance at WoA Southeast.

However, all our hard work will be for nothing if we have a poor turnout.

We need every one to come along and show the world that we want an alternative to the dull and bloated OS that has afflicted the masses in the computing world.
Sick and tired of all the doom and gloom in the Amiga market?
In short we want a new Amiga, and just because an Amiga Magazine shuts down, it doesn't mean that the existing Amiga dealers have suddenly ceased to exist or have gone elsewhere.
So turn up to WOA Southeast and support Amiga, Fore-Matt Home Computing, Weird Science, Stellar Dreams, Elbox, Clubbed Magazine, Cloanto, Eyetech, 100%Amiga, VP, and many more by coming along on the day.
Many retailers need shows like WoA Southeast to keep their commitment and businesses going until the next generation Amiga takes off.

Let's make the doom mongers eat a big shitcake, turn up and do us proud!

For more details on advance ticket ordering, full list of exhibitors, discussion forums and how to get there please visit http://www.worldofamiga.com
