`16.Sep.2001` Milan Pollé (ANF)	Game: Genetic Species for Gameboy Advance Some time ago Milan Pollé started a petition to learn how much are interested in a Gameboy Advance port of the Amiga ego-shooter 'Genetic Species'. Many interested people vote for such a port (http://www.dreamcast.ca/gameboyland/gs/gs.htm) and there where even more Amiga users for such port than people from the 'IGN Gameboy Advance'-Forum. Now Milan Pollé received an e-mail from 'Marble-Eyes' anouncing the porting in cooperation with the Danish games developers 'Entale'. Those introduced the game to publishers on the ECTS 2001 by screenshots and tests: «Hi, Marble-Eyes has recently started cooperation with Danish game developer Entale on porting GS to Game Boy Advance. Armed with sales documents, screenshots and rave reviews, Entale representatives have attended the ECTS 2001 show in London to meet publishers and show them the potential of GS. We are all very excited and looking forward to a possible revival of GS on the GBA console. GS and Amiga lovers out there, thank you for the great support! For future news on the progress of GS Advance, please visit www.entale.com. For any questions or encouraging words, feel free to write Entale at geneticspecies@entale.com Regards Martin Halberg, Marble Eyes Development» (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 16.

`15.Sep.2001` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	Card reader/writer news Carsten Siegner wrote: Today, slightly delayed, I have now tested my card reader/writer with Sony memory sticks. These run as expected very good and I can access them like a hard disk. Some users say that the device would be too expensive. These users have to consider that they'll own a universal key for all mobile digital devices. These are among others digital video cams (especially those of Sony), digital photo cameras (all cameras with card slot) and MP3 players (with card slot). Additionally, I can imagine that in conjunction with IBM microdrives these drives may be used for data exchange between laptops and Amiga. (Because of a lack of money I wasn't able to test this yet). A user asked whether compact flash cards would work, too. This can be answered clearly with "YES". Boot ability of memory cards: Not tested yet but theoretically possible as I use mount lists to access the memory cards. A RDB block cannot be written on the cards as they have always to be formatted in photo cameras or MP3 players. This is absolutely necessary because of compatibility reasons though you may probably be able to format these memory cards with an Amiga file system, too. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 15.

`15.Sep.2001`	H&P: AmigaOS XL for x86 Under the title link you can find the promised details regarding AmigaOS XL, two new Amiga emulators for x86 computers that are offered in a double pack. Here's an exerpt: AMIthlon - The fastest Amiga ever Insert the CD-ROM, switch on your PC and boot into the fastest Amiga ever. There is no complicated and boring installation. The development team of Harald Frank (VMC) and Bernd Meyer even implemented native support for nVidia and Matrox graphics cards providing maximum graphics performance. Opening windows on the Workbench is so fast that you can barely watch it anymore. With AMIthlon you can even use your old Amiga hard-disk in your PC. Simply connect it to your PC, start AMIthlon and that's it. AmigaXL for QNX - The most functional Amiga ever The host operating system for AmigaXL is QNX 6.1. It is included in the package. QNX has many similarities with the AmigaOS. It has a micro kernel and the drivers are separate processes. Like devices and handlers in AmigaOS these can be dynamically started and stopped. This makes the system extremely light weight and resource efficient. Features that QNX provides can directly be used within the emulated Amiga. This includes network functionality and multimedia features. QNX applications like the web browser Opera® can be started directly from the AmigaOS screen. One can say both operating systems work together seamlessly. System requirements: Athlon-, Duron, Pentium-, Celeron-CPU with 500 MHz or more. AmigaOS XL supports usual graphic, sound and network cards. A complete list is available on our homepage amigaxl.haage-partner.de or www.amithlon.com. Availability: The delivery will start about 41st week. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 15. Sep. 2001, 00:31] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`13.Sep.2001` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	SCSI card reader for Amiga, too (update) Carsten Siegner wrote: Two days ago I recieved hardware from Michrotech, which is able to read and write SmartMedia 8-128MByt, Flashpath cards 8-256MByte, and PCMCIA type I-III cards. By now I've done tests with SmartMedia and Flashpath cards, which worked terrific with the Amiga. On Friday I will test Sony memory sticks, too. As far as I can see now also Amiga users can use mobile MP3 players with the Amiga (the Amiga can write to the cards!). This magic device is called "ICS-47-BH" and is to be a CFA, SM, PC card reader with a SCSI-II interface. The cards are accessed using a mountlist, as like with harddisks, at the speed of 4MByt/sec (read and write). I will create a website with more detailed information including pictures. Update 14.09.2001: Changed title. (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 13. Sep. 2001, 18:13] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
