`16.Jan.2002` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena Special Price Project: Photoalbum and Cybershow Amiga Arena - Special Price Project In 2002 the Amiga Arena will continue to try to achieve special prices for shareware software. But due to the bad shareware situation, this became allmost impossible. The more I am happy about to be able to present you with a very special project. In cooperation with Helmut Hoffman the Amiga Arena makes possible a special price project for the image management software "PhotoAlbum" along with the image viewer "Cybershow". Before the rest of the vacation bonus expires, better invest in shareware... - Big PhotoAlbum and CyberShow Euro-Predecessor-Currency-Shareware-Project. Who still has valid bank notes of the twelve predecessor currencies of the twelve countries sharing one currency Euro now, can order PhotoAlbum/Cybershow for payment in cash in any currency combination (value at least 20 Euro- e.g. 280 schilling from your weekend in Vienna or 4,000 Pesetas from your last trip to Mallorca) until 28. February 2002. If there is not enough, of course you can fill up with Euro bank notes. Coins will not be accepted. (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 16.

`15.Jan.2002` Andreas Falkenhahn (E-Mail)	CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko emulate MPEG Modul The Windows cd32 emulator Akiko by Airsoft Softwair is now able to emulate the mpeg module of the CD32. The speed is amazing as well as the sound and video quality because all the cpu-intensive operations are done by the x86 cpu. It was really hard work to implement this feature but the result is really overwhelming. You can finally watch the mpeg intros which were just skipped for users without an mpeg module (e.g. Cannon Fodder). And of course the cool Commodore commercial with the mad scientist and his assistent. I quickly made some screenshots and uploaded them to the Akiko product page. I hope that the mpeg module emulation will be ready for the next version of Akiko (of course only for the full version!). Another nice thing is that finally Microcosm works with Akiko and you haven't lived if you did not see this game! The next version of Akiko will be ready in near future and it will contain NV ram emulation and real Joypad emulation for sure. So check back this homepage from time to time because the winter is anything else than cold.... Finally I want to say "thank you" to the many registered users out there! Your support makes Akiko better and better all the time! (ps) [News message: 15. Jan. 2002, 22:08] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`15.Jan.2002` Andreas Magerl (E-Mail)	Chat with bplan at #AmigaFun #AmigaFun: Realtime chat with Salvador Fernandez Gomez of bplan On Monday, 21st January 2002, you can chat with Salvador Fernandez Gomez of bplan at the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. He is known as one of the minds of bplan, well known with Pegasos. In the near future Pegasos will be released. You can ask him about bplan, Pegasos, and maybe some questions about MorphOS. The chat is organised with the help of Amiga Future. You can reach the IRC channel #Amigafun this way: IRC Server (without "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org IRC Port: 6667 IRC Kanal: #amigafun If the server malfunctions you can get access via this server: amigafun.ma.cx (without "irc.") TIP: You can reach the chat also via the #AmigaFun Homepage, Amiga Future Homepage and from the Amiga-News.de Forum as HTML chat. But we cannot guarantee that this HTML chat will function perfectly and programs like AMIRC and BlackIRC are more comfortable so we recommend to use an IRC client. The used languages are German and English and the logfiles will be available at the Amiga Future and #AmigaFun homepages. (ps) (Translation: gf) [News message: 15.
