AmigaOS 4: AHI-Driver-Updates, Driver for M-Audio Revolution 5.1
Davy Wentzler provides new versions of his Audio Mixer and Envy24HT driver

The driver for Envy24HT-based sound cards supports now the M-Audio Revolution 5.1. The author described the card as "expansive, but with an excellent recording and playback quality. Surround sound will be not supported in this release, monitoring of the ports is according the hardware limitations not possible.

Users with the "ESI Juli@" card get with this driver a really better sound quality, also the monitoring of the analog ports is now possible.

The new version of the Audio Mixer makes it possible to override the onboard sound chip preferences if the sound chip is not installed on the A1 mainboard, also several bugs are fixed. (cg) (Translation: aj)

Emulator: PSPUAE 0.71
PSPUAE is a port of the well-known Amiga emulator E-UAE for Sony's portable game console PSP. In version 0.71 a sound bug of a previous version still always exist as option because it provides a speed increase.

Changes:
  • Fixed, not saving Frameskip setting (thanks to horace, for making me see the code clearly)
  • Added left / right sound DWORD code (from Winuae, fixes sound not outputing correctly)
  • Made sound bug from 0.70 into an option, as it gives a speed increase
  • Altered Frameskip logic (to help stop frameskip going crazy)
  • Altered Official Cycle Unit to improve CPU speed option
  • Added Anti-Interpolation sound code (from WinUAE)
  • Added Stereo Seperation option

The MediatorUP 3.12 update includes new versions of:
  • pci.library 6.8
  • Voodoo.card 4.27
  • Virge.card 1.10
  • MediatorNET.driver 2.9
  • MedConfig 1.5
The Mediator Multimedia CD UP 1.28 includes gfx drivers for the Radeon 9200 series cards:
  • Radeon.card 1.0
The MM CD UP 1.28 update includes also new versions of:
  • Voodoo.card 4.27

  • sb128.audio 4.16
  • mixer.library 1.10
  • FastEthernet.device 1.20

Info on current versions is available in the Downloads | Mediator section. The current list of supported PCI cards is available in the Mediator Driver Guide. The info about Mediator-related sources you will find in the Community section. (snx)

Script: Convert2CDXL
Thorsten Schölzel wrote: The CD³²-alliance is pleased to offer the very first version of Convert2CDXL on our website.

Because of missing resources we have decided to publish this ealy version.

For the first time with Convert2CDXL it isnow possible to create a CDXL file from single pictures in PPM format and a WAV audio file. Convert2CDXL automatically converts with the help of external programs the pictures to the PPM format consisting of HAM6 pictures and the WAV file into a 8SVX audio file. These ones then are converted to the CDXL format.

There is a example script for starting a CDXL film in the archive. You only have to change the speed figure.

By publishing it we hope to find a programmer who develops Convert2CDXL to the final version. Additionally we hope that the Amiga animation format will get a fresh impetus. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: otrMUI 1.1
Thomas Igracki has published a new version of otrMUI. It is a graphical user-interface for the decoder of onlinetvrecorder.com which is a free service which records tv films.

Changes:
  • Fix: Doesn't unghost the remove, up, down and play buttons after one file was decoded (because I activate the next entry in the listview)
  • New: The listview now has some more columns: "Status", "Name", "Date", "Starttime", "Channel", "Duration", "Format", "File", "Filesize" both video (.otrkey) and music (.omrkey) files are supported
  • Fix: If you drop files from Ambient into otrMUI, the list had refresh problems, because I didn't set MUIA_List_Quiet to FALSE after inserting files...
  • New: Added some up/down buttons to sort the order of the files, because mouse-drag-sort doesn't work here!?
  • Change: Removed the "+" button, it's useless, because the files get automatically inserted after you selected them in the popup req
  • New: The popup req only show "*.otrkey" and "*.omrkey" files
  • New: Only files which match "*.o[m/t]rkey" are inserted into the list
  • In the popup-req a requester appears if the file isn't supported; when you drop a file via Ambient, the warning message is displayed in the status list
  • New: Added a "Music Archive" and "Video Archive" tab, not yet functional
  • Fix: The "-", "up", "dn" button are now also disabled if no entry is selected
  • New: The input string gadget is now set to the BasePath if no entry is selected

Amiga clone: NatAmi website reworked
The website of the Amiga clone NatAmi which was introduced as a early version in January has been reworked and includes now more detailed information to the hardware which is supposed to be available as developer boards in summer 2008.

NatAmi includes a reimplementation of the Amiga-Custom Chips but in contrary to similar projects AGA compatibility is also gained.

Additionally NatAmi will also have improved chipset features, e.g. faster blitter, higher resolutions and basic 3D-functions. This new modus is called "SuperAGA" by the developer. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Software news until 10.03.2008
Christian Rosentreter has released updates of some of his AmigaOS/MorphOS tools, aswell as a port of the SDL based board game Atakks. There's also an update of the AmigaGuide/HTML viewer strangé aswell as a converter for HivelyTracker and AHX music modules.

SerialEcho 50.5

SerialEcho works like the AmigaDOS built-in command 'Echo', but its output is redirected to the serial port instead (which can be catched with another computer connected to the serial port or a tool like Sashimi). New in version 50.5:
  • fixed enforcer hit when SerialEcho was used w/o arguments
  • OS4 port
  • AROS port thx to Matthias Rustler (binary archive only available on aros-archives atm.)

serialecho-50.5-source.tar.bz2 (4.8 KB)

Tooltype 1.4

Tooltype is a commandline tool for manipulation of the tooltype array wich is contained in icon files (#?.info). Now includes an OS4 port.

Downloads:

tooltype-1.4-morphos.lha (4.8 KB)
tooltype-1.4-os4.lha (9.3 KB)

Atakks 1.0

Atakks is an Othello-like clone for one or two players (Screenshot). The game will start in two player mode, but it's possible to enable the AI for the blue player by pressing 'i' during the game. Press 'q' to quit. If manually launched from commandline a french help is available with '-h' parameter.

Changes compared to orig. version:
  • removed extreme CPU usage for no reason
  • better 'Quit' handling during play
  • nifty iconx start script to catch the standard output in an acceptable way when game was started from Ambient
  • MorphOS icon
  • other cosmetics

Downloads:

atakks-1.0-morphos.diff (31 KB)

MPDControl 0.3 (Release Candidate)

MPDControl is a very basic commandline based client for the Music Player Daemon (short: MPD). Music Player Daemon allows remote access for playing music (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC, Mod and Wave files) and managing playlists. MPD is designed for integrating a computer into a stereo system that provides control for music playback over a local network.

With MPDControl it is now possible to control a MPD server from MorphOS. E.g. have MPD running on an EFIKA with Linux and manage everything comfortably from a Pegasos with MorphOS. MPDControl can be used as a MMKeyboard or Toolmanager hotkey or be launched via some simple project icons and AmigaDOS scripts from a dedicated Ambient panel. The possibilities are numerous.

Download: mpdcontrol-0.3-morphos.lha (11 KB)

strangé 0.23

strangé is a MUI-based AmigaGuide-/HTML-viewer implemented using HTMLView.mcc. Changes in version 0.23:
  • fixed @Title parsing in Amigaguide
  • added @Macro handling in Amigaguide
  • now Amigaguide parser uses Asyncio and it is *a lot faster*
  • other various little tries to make the whole thing faster

Ling 1.7 MUI4

Ling is a password database which stores passwords after encrypting them with a BlowFish-CBC alorythm.

HVL2WAV 1.0

Peter 'Xeron' Gordon's HVL2WAV converts music modules from HivelyTracker or AHX into a WAV file. There are binaries for OS4 and Windows in the archive, and the source is included which should build for most platforms with a little makefile tweaking.

BoulderDäsh 5.25 - Shockwave
Guido Mersmann writes: Rockford is back! There was BoulderDäsh RTX and now there is: BoulderDäsh Shockwave.

Yeah and the name says what you get! If you thought its not possible to make it even better, then this will prove you wrong!

The new BoulderDäsh provides a completely new gaming experience. For the first time it is not only possible to see and hear massive explosions and rocks smashing. Now its possible to feel them!

All you need to get this experience is a Rumble, DualShock, ForceFeedBack controller connected via Poseidon-USB. BoulderDäsh seems to be the first Amiga compatible game using this functionality.

Trust me in this! It makes the game and the game experience more intense. Its now just a new effect, its like playing a new game.

BoulderDäsh Shockwave! Don't play with Rockford! Be Rockford! (snx)

Tales of Tamar Enhanced: ToT Amiga 0.57
Press release Dear friends,

after over nine month of hard developing we are pleased to offer you the biggest, best and fastest update to Tales of Tamar.

The most important new features:

Most of the graphics are now reat hand painted 24 Bit-2D-graphics. Seperate quarters show different garphics that means in winter you see requesters e which are covered with snow and much more.

The start environment has been completely reworked to make the beginning of the game still more interesting and easier.

The speed of the card has been improved up to 20-50%. Ther HiRes and Widescreen-modus of the game should now run very fast on each system.

Additionally BardsTale was reworked. There are new stories to herbs and diseases.

We want to give a special thank to Hyperion, namely Robert Dickinson. Because of lending an AmigaOne you can be certain that Tales of Tamar will run on AmigaOS 4 in future.

Furthermore the game can be tested several months for free.

Network File System-Implementation aNFS (formerly known as ch_nfs) now under GPL
Since a few days there is a new open-source project on SourceForge.net: It is the source of the NFS file system (ch_nfs) written by Carsten Heyl which formerly belonged to AmiTCP.

A few years ago he released the sources as GPL and handed it over to Jens Langner. With this new project he is looking for interested developers who help to speed up the development of a NFS-file system for the Amiga sector.

With the new open-source project now called aNFS the programmer team try to get the source files of the old NFS-file system work under the new operating systems like AmigaOS 4, MorphOS or AROS.

Because the project is quite new developers are very welcome. At the moment some parts of the source files do not exist and have to be written again.

Interested developers may contact Jens Langner and can get further information about the status of development. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Emulator: PSPUAE 0.70
PSPUAE is a port of the well-known Amiga emulator E-UAE for Sony's portable game console PSP. Version 0.70 has an improved speed.

Changes:
  • Added alot of Rics FAMEC code and optimisations. (Gave some speed increase)

  • Altered CPU CYCLE UNIT to 256 (Gave the most speed increase)
  • Altered CHIPSET settings (To fall inline with CPU CYCLE UNIT change, its now a much more finer setting than in previous versions. Giving better results)
  • Added Rics FAMEC Sound code (Still clicks, we know what the problem is, but i need help to solve it)
  • Added Interpolation 4CH Sound under sound menu (This can improve sound slighty)
  • Altered HEAP SIZE for available memory to PSPUAE (This solves all memory problems)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.13
Jörg Strohmayer has published an update of the Origyn Web Browser. Further components are now used as so called shared objects.

Changes:
  • Fixed OWB bug 178 (fonts related endless loops) in the AmigaOS4 fonts implementation
  • If loading a page failed the progress bar is set to 0 now
  • Added tooltype DISABLEGIFANIMS, if it's set the anims are still played once since usually the last image is better than the first
  • Added tooltype DISABLEJAVASCRIPT
  • Using shared libcurl, libssl, libxml2, libxslt and libz now, you have to download sobjs.lha, extract it and and copy them to SOBJS:. Not required if you use AmiUpdate to update OWB, the new shared objects are installed automatically
  • The shared libcurl uses DEVS:curl-ca-bundle.crt instead of S:curl-ca-bundle.crt (since it's not a script using S: was wrong)
  • Mounting RANDOM: is not required any more

AmigaOS 4: FTP-Client PFTP 0.2 (update)
PFTP (screen shot) by Peter Gordon offers unlimited windows, server-to-server transfers and drag'n drop support. Changes in version 0.2:
  • Now copes with multi-line responses that don't start every line with a code and a dash. Thanks to James Carroll for the report.
  • Fixed a DSI that could occasionally happen during FTP to FTP transfers
  • Properly copes with 125 responses for the LIST command. Thanks to Dwayne Jarvis for the report.
  • Now updates CPS information for active transfers even when they stall.
  • When warning you about potentially overwriting a local file, it gives you the current stats about the existing files size and date rather than the ones in the local browser, in case they have changed in the meantime.
  • When sending a local file, it rechecks the local files length before starting the transfer instead of relying on the possibly stale value in the local browser window.
  • Properly copes with servers that don't put a leading zero in the hours column. Thanks to Dwayne Jarvis for his help nailing this one.
  • Reordered the transfer queue columns so that the basic information is all to the left and the source/destination directories are at the far end (file,%,cps,srcdir,destdir instead of srcdir/file,destdir,%,cps).
  • You can now specify the path to the ssh executable if you don't wish to keep it in the system searchpath. Simply specify the path where ssh resides in a "SSHPATH" tooltype. Sorry I can't remember who suggested this.
  • You can now specify a local path to go to when you connect to a server (see docs).
  • Transfers in the queue now have a fancy progress bar behind the percentage readout.
  • Passwords are now encrypted in the .servers file. Old .server files with plaintext passwords will be automatically converted when you quit PFTP or connect to a server.

Update: (21.02.2008, 16:00, cg)

Meanwhile an improved version is available where one minor bug (requesting drive "Blah:") has been removed. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Back to the Roots: Server work
Ralf Steines writes: In a few hours we will take down our team machine to replace it with a ten times faster and bigger machine. If all goes right this will last a few hours only.

The team machine runs all hosted projects (such as winuae.net) and the upload FTP, so these are unreachable for the time the move lasts. The main archive and the anonymous FTP should not be affected by this.

The team server needs a new os and new hardware. Once the machine is configured completely (mostly an invisible task) we'll look forward to new updates.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

AROS: Status update February 2008
On the website of the AROS-Team there is an overview about the latest news concerning the AmigaOS-clone "AROS Research Operating System" (AROS):

Michal Schulz is working hard on porting AROS to Acube Systems SAM440 board, and he got some interesting results.

Nic Andrews is working on Wanderer, in order to improve it and fix some annoying bugs. He is now "slowly hacking away at reworking the rendering code for wanderer iconlist class. The intermediate goal is to allow icon windows to buffer the icon/background rendering so, for instance, using the tiled rendering mode for iconlist backgrounds wont cause noticable icon flickering as it currently does".

Michael Grunditz has officially released the first SimpleMail 0.32 betas for the AROS Research Operating System. SimpleMail has most of the features currently needed in a modern email client, and it's still growing. The AROS port can be downloaded from the Archives.

João "Hardwired" Ralha has recently written some good manuals for AROS. However, they are not finished, and he is currently looking for help. Available documents are the AROS User Manual (50% complete), the AROS Shell Manual (70%) and the AROS Istall Manual (25%).

Additionally Alain Greppin has ported TeXlive to AROS and Tomek 'Error' Wiszkowski has published a AROS-version of his CD-/DVD-burning program Frying Pan. The AROS-file system FFS was improved and got proper validation. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: strangé 0.20, Gread 1.0k

strangé 0.20

strangé is a MUI-based AmigaGuide-/HTML-viewer, which based HTMLView.mcc. Changes in version 0.20:
  • Hemmm removed the fake iconify on MorphOS; it had some strange side effects that made it not usable in a clean way
  • Changed lineread.c to dynamically allocate buffers. There were problems with genesis and old fixed buffer scheme.
  • Fixed popfile.c not freying an allocated buffer
  • Fixed html.c double allocating URLs

Gread 1.0k

Tom 'Amigaharry' Duins Text viewer Gread was also updated as Version 1.0k and includes several small fixes.

Lost bonus level discovered in Apidya
Kaiko's shoot'em up Apidya, released in 1992, includes several bonus levels - apparently, one of them was not accessible by the player until now due to an error in the program.

In his blog, John Girvin describes how he was pointed out to the existence of this bonus level and could make it accessible to the player, in addition, he is making available screenshots and a video of the level, which he has christened as "Speed of Light" on the spot.

Girvin has released a WHDLoad patch, with which owners of the original can also play the level.

Hollywood: Current issues of the mailing list
Press release The Hollywood mailing list was set to "invite only" a fairly long time ago, in order to prevent spammers from joining the list and flooding the members with advertising. Unfortunately, this setting can no longer be reversed via Yahoo! Groups now, which is why the mailing list will remain "invite only" for eternity, so it can only be joined with invitation.

Therefore, a form is now provided on the product page of Hollywood on the Airsoft Softwair homepage, with which users who would like to join the mailing list can request a personal invitation.

The Hollywood mailing list is is open for everyone; users who do not have Hollywood yet can also join, if they are interested in the program and/or have questions about it. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Event: Classic Computing 2008
Press release Classic Computing 2008 on September 27 and 28 in the Eurotec Center in Moers.

Once again, the "Verein zum Erhalt klassischer Computer e.V." ("Association for the Preservation of Classic Computers, registered association") is inviting you to Classic Computing this year, too, this time on the west border of the Ruhr area, in the halls of the "Eurotec Center" in 47445 Moers.

On more than 600 square meters, as in the previous years, collections of home computers, game consoles, office computers, but also the repair corner, where computers of club members are reconditioned for free, are waiting for you. Of course, you may also play on historical computers which are set up especially for this purpose.

This year, we set a varying emphasis, for example, a collection of all computers ever built by Commodore that is as complete as possible, from the PET 2001 up to the Amiga 4000T.

Another important subject this year is the Atari. But other computers like Amiga, MSX, classic PC's and Sinclair are not missing out either.

Classic Computing is opened for visitors on Saturday from 10:00 o'clock to 19:00 o'clock, on Sunday from 11:00 o'clock to 16:00 o'clock. Entrance costs 5 euros.

But not only club members will exhibit there, other clubs, private collectors and companies area also welcome. The stand money is intentionally kept very low, to allow participation by individuals, too.

You can obtain further information directly via our homepage under the title link. (snx) (Translation: cad)
