`24.Mar.2018` Amigaworld.net (Forum)	AmigaOS 4: Jump'n'run game Spencer available (Update) The jump'n'run game "Spencer" developed by EntwicklerX (amiga-news.de reported) has been almost completed for AmigaOS 4 and should be available still this weekend. Additional to the full version for Windows on Steam, now a trial version for AmigaOS 4 was released. The authors have pointed out that the game "runs best with Warp3D Nova". It is recommended to update Warp3D Nova and OpenGLES2 to the latest version. For the AmigaOne X1000 and X5000 a screen resolution of 1080p should be possible (or 720p with antialiasing). On a Sam 460 it can be played with a screen resolution of 720p. Videos: Gameplay trailer of Spencer X1000, RadeonHD 7750, 720p with Antialiasing, Nova/OpenGLES Sam440, 700Mhz, Radeon 9250, 720p (640x480 or 800x600 is smoother but our capture device does not get these resolutions) Update: (20:20, 25.03.18, snx) Meanwhile the game has been finalized for AmigaOS 4 as well and can be purchased at AmiStore. The required libraries are available through the Updater, the game needs ogles2.library 1.19, W3DN_SI.library 1.47 and Warp3D_Nova.library 1.47. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 24.

`23.Mar.2018` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	MorphOS: PkZIP-GUI InstantZip 3.3 Carsten Siegner's InstanzZip (screenshot) is a graphical user-interface for PkZIP as well as in version 3.3 for the xad.library of MorphOS as well. Therefore now it is possible to extract archives which were compressed with RAR, LHA, BZIP2 or other algorithms. But only the XAD client provided by Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly works without any problems (link below), the Aminet version cannot be recommended. The corresponding 7z client does not correctly extract but does properly list the content. Download: InstantZip_3.3.lha (143 KB) xad_rar.lha (118 KB) (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 23.
