Aliens Vs Predator Sourcecode
Foxinteractive released on July 27th 2000 the sourcecode of the 3D-shooter 'Alien vs. Predator' for IBM compatible computers. At the server you can find screenshots of the game.

Unfortunately the downloadlink points back to the newspage.

Supplement 31.07.2000 (ps):
The downloadlink were deleted because there shortly will be an optimized version of the sourcecode.

Interview with Moss and Ewen
Daniel Robbins took an interview with Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen (Amiga) that has been published at IBM in the section "developerWorks:Linux overview:Library - papers".

The interview starts with the Amiga Classic and brings out very positively what it really is. Next, the technology of the new system is beeing explained. Most of this should be known already.

Bill McEwens statement the SDK was sold out after 15 minutes at Neuss, is, as already said by Sebastian Brylka at Fun Time World, wrong. It was available there for a lowered price on the second day, too.

Daniel Robbins is president/CEO of Gentoo Technologies.

News from AmiWest
Teemu I. Yliselä has listened to the UGN live audio stream of Bill McEwen and basing on his notes (he did not record the stream himself) he summarized the following on ANN.

The target term for the release of the AmigaOne presently is December 2000. AmigaOne will base on Amiga's own motherboard design including not off the shelve components.

Amiga founded their own hardware department leaded by Dean Brown. This department is ought to design custom hardware for various devices, which then will be offered to third party manufacturers for production.

The SDK is selling better than expected. Amiga is in contact with a large number of big consumer electronics and software companies including every important game smithy. Many of them already purchased the SDK. After Bill McEwen's recent two TV gigs the companies' interest increased.

A SDK version for Windows will be available from next month.

From next week Read Hat will distribute the SDK. Sun started to utilize Amiga's software to present Java, too.

It is beeing planed to release beta versions of the OE.

Amiga plans to go public

Paul Nolan will take care of jobs under contract for Amiga.

Licences: No software developer will be forced to pay sums to Amiga. Instead of this there will be the possibility to take part in an unsolicited certification project. This project will offer the opportunity to put the Amiga lable on your own product, and the chance of your product beeing marketed directly by Amiga. This will cost 1,50$ US per sold unit.

Amiga will offer low cost promotion and merchandising products to the users.

At the show Amiga presented a touchscreen basing on the ARM and running with the new OE. The design came form Mick Tinker.

Back compatibility to the Classic Amiga will be carryed into effect by the OE using something which will not be an emulation.

Village Tronic Petition
Untill the end of September votes for the Village Tronic (VT) Petition can be made. This petition intends to persuade VT to place service documents at the disposal of authorized repairing companies to ensure technical support for or repair of VT products. VT still did not state concretely on the subject how to deal with the repair of their products in the future. At this time there is no repair support.

Unfortunatly Paul Qureshi only recieved about 200 votes, by now. So, who did not vote till today either can make this up at the titlelink or can send an email directly to the promoter of the petition.

Tales of Tamar


T.o.T. Update Feature Disabled
Eternity at their news section:
«Unfortunatly it has happened, certain users procured themself unauthorized access to our ftp server. For this reason we were forced to disable the update feature of the Tales of Tamar Demo. We point out that more such trials endanger the release of an Amiga version of Tales of Tamar definitively. We are not keen on working for nothing for four years and we have attached a lot of money to the development. Only our alpha testers are authorized to access our ftp server. Furthermore we point out that definitively there will be no Aminet version of Tales of Tamar free to duplikate. Thus there is no reason for such trials.»

MP3 Exchange Market Napster may Stay Online for the time being
«But the abatement of the preliminary injunction does not mean winning the proceeding raised by the recording industry, at last - the current decision only keeps up the status quo untill the court has dicided on the reproach that Napster would violate the copyrights of the musicians, and the music companies knowingly and purposely. Untill early August Napster has time to comment the charge. The music industry can then answer on Napster's comments untill early September. The judgment is then expectet during September at the earliest. »

Heise: PowerPC in Reconfigurable Hardware
«Xilinx, the market leader for reconfigurable ICs by cooperation with IBM[1] obtains access to IBM's PowerPC processor design. The PowerPC processor cores shall become connected to reconfigurable FPGA circuits. Thus custom circutis can be integrated directly in the chip - without developing application specific ICs. In general FPGA enables faster development along with fewer costs than with conventional chips. Additionally FPGA basing produkts are more flexible, cause of the real circuit of the ICs can be changed easyly. Xilinx[2] is planning a possibility for updates already integrated into the chips.

Beside the processor core and the aligned CoreConnect-Bus Xilinx gains acces to the current method of copper production, by which they hope to enhance the performance of their chips. IBM with this cooperation targets more promulgation of their PowerPC processor.»
The entire article is to read at the titlelink (German).

AppMI - Toolbar Images with GlowIcons Design
AppMI is a huge collection of images and animations for toolbars with the GlowIcons style which could possibly become a standard for the Classic Amiga system. The collection is freely available for programmers and all people interested. To get the archive, a registration is necessary and everyone publishing a product that uses AppMI should send me a copy of the full version of the program.

The registration can be made in the "AppMI section". After requesting the registration form, you should fill out this and send it back to the author. The archive is sent to you immediately via email.

From now on, a new version (40.3) of the asyncio.library for WarpOS is available. It fixes some bugs of the previous version which could lead to problems with very long files. Sadly, this bug wasn't fix as assumed in the V40.2. This time, there are no more problems. Download: asyncioppc.lha

Back to the Roots News
Back to the Roots (http://www.back2roots.org), the Amiga Culture Directory project, was updated again.

The companies Vision Software and Croteam are supporting our little project now, too. Since today you can download the games "Roadkill" and "Woody's World", as well as the brilliant soccer game "5A-Side-Soccer", which is the indoor version of Football Glory.

Also the games Whale's Voyage 1+2, Black Viper, Fightin' Spirit and Spherical Worlds from Neo Software are back online, because the contract with Alive Mediasoft was never valid. Impressions, the strategy experts from the States, are supporting BTTR now for a long time and now we can give you the games "Afrika Korps", "Airbucks" and "Caesar Deluxe" for free.

Demo scene freaks will find tons of new stuff (demos, pictures, mods), too. Some of the new additions from the scene are looking so great, that we can't describe them with words. They're a must see. Especially most of the 64k intros are really fascinating as well as all the new eye-candy in the pictures section.

For all those who don't know BTTR, yet: BTTR is a legal web project which attempts to cover all areas of the Amiga (games, demos, tools, pictures, music and much more). Commercial software (games, tools, and so on) are offered for free download only with permission of the publisher.

EASys


EASys! CD Pirate Copies ?
To protect our customers from purchasing pirate copies of the EASys! CD, we have now put a Scan of the CD-ROM on this page. The EASys! CD should come as a pressed silver CD (no CD-R!) in a jewel case with 4 color cover (color cannot be smeared with a wet finger) and CD art in two colors (rasterized black/dark pink). Should your CD not match one of these criterias, it is most likely a pirate copy. Please email us in this case when and where you bought this CD!

Only dealers that got our CD through the distributor GTI should be in the possession of originals. The same is of course also true if you ordered the CD directly on our homepage or by phone from Eternity.
