ACube: Small delay in delivering Minimig
Pressannounce: UUnfortunately some delays forced us to slightly postpone the shipping of Minimigs. We would like to offer our customers the usual high quality service as a sign of respect for the many orders we received so far. Therefore we need to delay the shipping of the Minimig that will start on February, 1st.
Our apology and our thanks to all whom are waiting.
We would also take the opportunity to give more details about the PSU needed for the Minimig. The board needs to be powered with a stabilized 5V, so you'll need a PSU which can deliver such power and with a jack connector.
ACube Systems will also sell a Minimig bundle inclusive of an adequate PSU. This bundle will be available at the price of EUR 149 (excluding local taxes and shipping cost).
With every Minimig sold will be included a 1GB SD Card. It's plenty of space for your ADF files.
When ordering please specify if you want the board only (inclusive of the SD Card) or the bundle (Minimig+PSU+SD Card). (cg) (Translation: aj)

AmigaOS 4: Experimental user interface for OWB
Jörg Strohmayer is making available an experimental user interface for the "Origyn Web Browser," OWBUI. Though, reportedly, some problems still exist (outstanding functions, for example), for starters, it may be better than nothing nevertheless.

AmigaOS 4 Classic: Mouse wheel support for ps2m mice
Under AmigaOS 4 Classic, the problem existed until now that the existing drivers for PS2 mouse adapters (Cocolino, ps2m) provide the so-called Newmouse codes for mouse wheel movements, whereas the operating system itself as well as PPC-native applications solely support the wheelmouse standard, introduced with AmigaOS 4, for interpreting the mouse wheel.
Thomas Rapp has now converted the WheelBusMouse driver belonging to the ps2m adapter to AmigaOS 4. The driver now generates IDCMP messages, introduced with OS4, for mouse wheel movements, that is, PPC-native applications should now respond to the mouse wheel again as usual. Since the author cannot test the changes himself, for lack of appropriate hardware, he is asking for appropriate feedback under the title link.
Note: Older applications that are not converted to AmigaOS 4 are still dependent on Newmouse codes. In order to be able to use mouse wheels with these applications as well, the IPrefs call in the Startup-Sequence must be complemented with the "NEWMOUSE" switch.

Amiga Hardware Meeting in Nuremberg, Germany on March 9, 2008
Jörg 'amiga1303' Karisch writes: The Amiga user group IMAGE from Middle Franconia is inviting to Nuremberg, Germany again for the hardware meeting on Sunday, March 9, 2008.
The goal is to solve problems with hardware and software that is brought along, or to execute a couple of games over the network again, too.
Once again, we want to offer a flea market and a file sharing network for hardware and software, respectively, that is relevant to the Amiga. Detailed and current information can be found under the title link - also a list with the computers on display, among other things.
Unfortunately, computer seats are limited to about 20 pieces, which is why I ask guests who want to arrive with hardware to get in touch with me in a timely manner.
We look forward to all guests interested in the Amiga - maybe a hardware or software producer also has some time to stop by - and see you then on March 9.
Till then, best regards,
Jörg Karisch (snx) (Translation: cad)

MeKa 2008: NatAmi developer board demonstrated
In an English forum article under the title link, Gunnar von Boehn reports on the demonstration of the NatAmi developer board (Amiga History Guide page with photo) by Thomas Hirsch at this year's MeKa in Karlsruhe.
According to this, unlike the Minimig by Dennis van Weeren, NatAmi possesses a virtually complete AGA implementation (including a 24-bit AGA mode together with 32-bit blitter), but in exchange, is based on very old FPGA chips with corresponding limitations.
As in the original Minimig, the processor is not emulated, and is located on a daughterboard on NatAmi, which can theoretically carry any 680x0 processor, or alternatively, a Coldfire processor as well, according to the developer's statements. However, only a 68030 was employed until now, a board with 68060 processor is planned next.
Booting the AmigaOS 3.x Workbench has only taken the blink of an eye, literally, on the NatAmi board. Furthermore, programs like Directory Opus, SysInfo and a module tracker as well as dragging screens, copper & voxel demos and games like Boulder Dash, BattleChess and Defender of the Crown were demonstrated on it. The software was loaded from hard disk using the IDE controller located on the board. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Insane-Software: Amijeweled 1.3
Press release We are very proud to announce the release of a new version of AmijeweledRTG, Amijeweled V1.3! In this version, some wishes of our customers were implemented, e.g. the long awaited fullscreen mode.
Additionally, we finally found the bug that made the startup of Amijeweled with OS4 a little bit nasty sometimes. Other features are a requester for error message handling and the ability to play sound simultaneously with other AHI programs.
Our customers already received the update via email as usual. Customers of
Alinea Computer who bought a CD version there may contact us to receive their update via email, too. Our contact details can be found on our website.
For the Amigans who don't know Amijeweled or were not fully satisfied with the V1.2 demo version, we provide a V1.3 demo version for download. Try it!
Our development will concentrate on future projects now, mainly the AGA version, which we will develop to bring this nice game to our "roots", too.
Special thanks go to Herbert Klackl who supported us in the development the new version of Amijeweled and tested it thouroughly with MorphOS.
We wish you much fun with the new version of Amijeweled and like to thank all our customers for the praises and the faith they gave to us.
With kind regards
Niels Schapke & Wolfgang Hosemann

C-Compiler: vbcc 0.8j patch 2
For the C-Compiler vbcc written by Volker Barthelmann (compiler core) and Frank Wille (Amiga specific adaptions) there is a second patch. Up to now the amigalib functions DeleteExtIO() and DeleteStdIO() did not allow that the zero pointer passed.
The compiler supports AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, PowerUp and WarpOS and corresponds ISO-C according to ISO/IEC 9899:1989 as well as according to a subset of the newer standards ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99).

more features and flexibility to safely move content from a physical
to a digital environment and instantly run all types of content on a
variety of devices, including mobile phones, cameras, audio and video
players, STBs, laptops, PCs and servers. The latest version of
AmigaAnywhere facilitates rich-media content featuring extraordinary
audio-visual quality, high-speed interactive gaming, education and
entertainment anytime, anywhere.
"The Amiga world has waited long enough," said Bill McEwen,
President of Amiga Inc. "AmigaAnywhere is the step forward we've been
diligently pursuing, making it easy to instantly and safely run all
types of content on their favorite devices. And we're thrilled to be
able to unveil this during CES at Digital Experience and hope to
identify an additional, new set of strong hardware partners as well."
New features of AmigaAnywhere 2 include a device-independent,
single, ubiquitous Virtual Environment (VEN) that functions across
different operating system and the Internet. Under the new platform,
consumers are able to have the same user experience to engage in
activities such as listening to music, surfing the net, buying video,
editing photos, or working on work contracts. AmigaAnywhere
dynamically scales the applications/services to the accessory device. (cg) (Translation: aj)

Project Moana: Statement of the developer
In December a CD image was available which was supposed to make it possible using AmigaOS 4 on certain PowerPC models of the Mac mini supplied by Apple. At amigaworld.net the author of this CD, the AmigaOS 4 developer Andrea Vallinotto has warned to use or copy this CD which is based on Moana .
"Regarding the thread about the project Moana files, I'd like to point out some facts that I would like to acknowledge as an AW.net moderator.
First of all, I'm the author of said port, done over an year ago on behalf of ACube, you can contact me directly at email removed .
In the thread I'm referring to, you (and others) are discussing the content of the CD, some even had it running on MacMinis. Such ISO image not only contains parts of OS4 (a commercial product) but also contain modules that are NOT part of either OS4 for A1 nor Classic, and are fully copyrighted by me. I never gave permission to anyone, least this AmigaMac guy, to distribute these files. So owning and using those modules is breaching my intellectual property (IP) and is a clear act of piracy.
So unless Aw.net is a forum which allows and is favorable to piracy, I suggest you post a notice on said thread and stop discussing about it. You can quote this message if you want.
As you probably have seen by the european lawsuit, between me, the two Friedens and against Hyperion and AInc, I'm more than willing to protect my IP from piracy or any other form of unauthorized use.
For the record, that ISO image was obtained from a stolen laptop and there is a police report about that (in the USA). That AmigaMac guy is not some benefactor, he's a criminal.
So far I hadn't written or posted anything because I didn't want to stir up more mess that it was already, and because the (micro) kernel on that ISO image will crash after few minutes of intensive use.
But seeing one of the moderators of Aw.net happily displaying a list of stolen files seems an endorsement of piracy from AW.net. I can't let it pass."

Back to the Roots: Fallback Server
Ralf Steines writes: Our main server, which runs www.back2roots.org and ftp.back2roots.org and also acts as a proxy frontend server for all hosted projects including winuae.net and chiptune.de, is down for a while.
To not lock your download needs we have set up a temporary access
point where you can access most of our services and all hosted
projects from our secondary server at the title link.
Please note that we have no fallback solution for the FTP server
and the modradio server, these are plain too big for our secondary
server's disks. This will hopefully change in future.
We try to keep the downtime as short as possible. Sorry for the
inconvenience of temporarily having to deal with this slower server. (snx)

AROS: Review of this year's progress
Paolo Besser compiled some examples of this year's progress in the development of the AROS Research Operating System.
- January: After years of struggling with shell commands and DOpus actions, copying files became easy with Wanderer drag'n'drop
- February: A tap interface has been added to AROS hosted, completing network support
- March: AROS got packet file-systems support, increasing compatibility and coherency with original AmigaOS, and allowing AROS to manage FAT partitions. AROS got also an improved TCP/IP stack, with a new version of AROSTCP, and USB support
- April: Wanderer got a new decoration system, allowing windows to be customized with themes. Support for LUA and ARexx scripts has been improved too
- May: AROS changed its name in 'AROS Research Operating System' and aros.org got an heavy face-lift. Wanderer started showing only icons or all files, and a new community-driven site has born, ArosWorld.org
- June: AROS users decided the official windows and desktop wallpapers in an amusing competition
- September: AROS has been presented to the Amiga community in a conference at Pianeta Amiga. MUIbase and HivelyTracker have been ported too
- October: AROS got a new installer that made installation on hard disk easier. Now AROS can safely live on a disk together with Microsoft Windows
- November: AROS made a huge step ahead with its new 64-bit flavour
- December: Two new AROS distributions have been announced, Velocity and VmwAROS

For 2008, there will be a number of improvements.
First of all, we're happy to announce that Helmut Schöttner will join our team in 2008. He will be in charge of Amiga driver maintenance and software programming of new microcontroller-based products. Welcome to our team!
We are already working on bringing sold-out products back into the shops: Catweasel MK4, Indivision and Kickflash OS4 will experience small changes for the next production runs.
A few months ago, we have bought the "Micromys" design from Marko Herold. We have continued development of the C64 mouse adapter, and we'll release it under the name "Micromys V3" during the first quarter of 2008. High compatibility with PS2 mice will remain, and USB-mice that support PS2 protocol are automatically switched to that mode. The new adapter can be configured for different target systems by DIP switches:
- C64: 1351 proportional mouse emulation with wheel-extension
- C64: Joystick emulation
- Amiga: 3-button mouse without drivers
- Amiga: 3-button wheelmouse with Freewheel-driver
- Atari ST: 2-button mouse
Micromys V3 can of course be used on other retro-systems that use a 9-pin Sub-D connector for game controllers, such as Atari 8-bit machines, Schneider, Amstrad and MSX.
Competition PRO Retro still available
Although the USB-version of this successful joystick is sold out at the moment, the retro-version that we produced together with Speedlink is still in stock. Starting january 1st, 2008, the price will be raised to 14,99 EUR. If you want to secure the old price for your order, please place your order before the end of the year!
New product: MMC Replay
The demand for MMC64 continues to be strong. With the Commodore Scene Award that we got for the Retro Replay, the demand for this product was also boosted. We have to say thank you for the trust in these products, which are completely sold out now. We took the chance to merge the two products into one new, powerful cartridge, the MMC Replay. Many requests for changes and improvements have been collected over the past six years, which have all been implemented in MMC Replay. A complete description of the features would go beyond the scope of this news item, so we're only listing the most important data here:
- 512KB Ram
- 512KB Flash Rom
- clockport for RR-Net
- SD/MMC card Interface (MMC64 compatible)
- Freezer (Retro Replay compatible)
- extended freezer-mode
- support for native C128 cartridge software
- freeze/activity LEDs
Existing software that was written for MMC64, Retro Replay or the combination of the two can be used without changes. The new hardware features are activated by the completely re-written file browser of MMC Replay. You can now create and mount *.d64 archives. Flashing of cartridge software (for example Action Replay, Retro Replay, Nordic Power or Final Replay) is made a lot easier with the built-in flash utility. The extended freezer mode allows memory configurations that make development of new software a lot easier, but also eases adapting existing software (for example FC3) to this hardware.
Many customers reported difficulties with special models of the C64 or the C128. Up to this point, proper function on these special machines was either only possible after a long warmup-time, or it was not possible at all because the C128 is not 100% compatible to the C64. We have made the necessary changes and completed extensive tests with more than 40 variants of the C64 and C128 - even native C128 cartridge software is supported by MMC Replay!
We have already changed the design of RR-Net a few months ago. The new shape might have looked strange to some customers, but with the release of MMC Replay, our plan should become obvious now: You can now fit MMC64, Retro Replay and RR-Net into one standard cartridge case. Cartridge cases are available separately. Holes for buttons, LEDs, SD card and a networking cable must be made by the user.
MMC Replay will be available from our trade partners shortly.
A picture of the MMC Replay can be found here (similar picture; picture shows extra feature "RR-Net" available at additional charge), screenshots of the MMC Replay GUI: startup screen, MMC Replay flash utility, MMC Replay C64 file browser, MMC Replay C128 startup screen.

Commodore emulator VICEplus for AROS64
Past Tuesday, Marco van den Heuvel has also made available a VICEplus version for the 64 bit version of the open-source operating system AROS.
VICEplus is a derivative of the well-known Commodore emulator VICE. In contrast to the original project, VICEplus not only emulates all 8 bit computers released by Commodore, but also the C64 clone C64DTV, released a few years ago, which brings along some improvements compared to its role model, like 256 colors and a blitter, for instance.

Video: Atari ST versus Commodore Amiga in pictures
Under the title link, a video was made available by the YouTube user 'Ahle2', which contrasts pictures of the same games in the Atari ST and the Amiga versions, respectively.
Despite the restrictions due to the low quality of YouTube videos, on the one hand, the graphical superiority of the Amiga back then becomes obvious, but also, on the other hand, how much the Atari graphic artists were able to squeeze out of their computer, despite the limitation to 16 colors.
Titles of the compared games:
1. Rainbow Island
2. SWIV
3. Defender of the Crown
4. Speedball 2
5. Batman
6. Shadow of the beast (Psygnosis opening credits)
7. Shadow of the beast
8. R-Type II
9. Mega lo Mania
10. Dogs of War
11. Turrican
12. Risky Woods
13. Robocop 2
14. The Great Giana Sisters
15. Ghost 'n Goblins
16. Wings of Death (snx) (Translation: cad)

E-Mail Client: YAM 2.5
Press release: The YAM (Yet Another Mailer) open source development team is pleased to announce the immediate release of its stable 2.5 version. After nearly 5 years of constant, restless development, the 2.5 version is the currently most stable and most advanced version of the famous Amiga e-mail suite.
The 2.5 version, apart from very important bug fixes, comes with a largely enhanced user interface with new capabilities like, e.g. an embedded read pane functionality to directly read e-mails without having to open separate read windows. Or even a new search bar allows to quickly search for e-mails or sort them according to predefined categories. Furthermore, YAM was largely reworked internally to perform not only more securely and less cumbersomely. It also comes with important technical enhancements like non-blocking I/O based socket connections allowing the GUI to become more responsive or improved compatibility to common internet standards (RFC). In addition, large internal reworks were performed to be able to implement features like IMAP support or native HTML mail display in one of the next versions.
Therefore, we are indeed very happy to supply you this stable 2.5 release not only right before Christmas, but also right before we are going to start on working on some more interesting things in the upcoming year.
Enjoy the 2.5 version and happy yamming...
With immediate effect, YAM 2.5 is available for download in Aminet and at
sourceforge.net.

CD³²-Allianz: Status of registrations 2007
Press release This year we again want to inform you about the status of registrations of CD³² consoles, CDTV devices and FMV modules.
The are the figures:
- CD³²: 911 (2005: 337 / difference: +574)
- CDTV: 87 (2005: 27 / difference: +60)
- FMV-modul: 22 (2005: 17 / difference: +5)
We want to thank all who did participate in registration!
Because of figures of the CD³² registrations we could determine that obviously a larger number of CD³² were produced than expected (100.000). In our opinion at least 127.772 CD³² consoles were produced. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Cloanto: Cataloging Effort Reaches 10K Milestone
Press release Udine, Italy - December 14, 2007 - Cloanto Italia srl, Amiga software developers since 1986, announced today that their Amiga cataloging effort reached the milestone of ten thousand disk-based applications.
So far, Cloanto's effort focused on the cataloging of Amiga games and game-like educational titles. Reaching ten thousand titles (counting different major versions, but excluding minor variations) meant, among other things, processing several tens of thousands of floppy disk images, including format variations and non-exact duplicates, which have now been "handprinted". In practice, this data can be used to allow Amiga Forever users to search for games by title or keywords, to access multiple independent partner web sites with additional information and downloads, and to more easily play games without complex configuration work.
Many Amiga enthusiasts already have a multitude of game floppy disk images on their PCs. Having access to this cataloging data, a future version of Amiga Forever will be able to recognize a disk selected by the user, automatically finding the required companion disks and starting the game with the correct (emulated) hardware configuration. All of this, with a simple click on a downloaded disk image (e.g. an ADF file).
The handprinting technology used by Cloanto goes beyond traditional CRC32 file-level checksums which have commonly been used in the emulation community. Rather, Cloanto's software can analyze the images at the Amiga disk block and file system level, extracting precious information, ignoring simple modifications such as a saved game state or high score data, and applying other smart identification algorithms. In this way, more duplicates and disks that would otherwise go unrecognized are identified.
Cloanto's cataloging project began in 2004. In 2005, a number of specification drafts (e.g. XADML, an XML-based application and configuration description format) were announced and published on the Amiga Forever site. At the same time, also with the help of numerous contributors, a database of applications was slowly being built, one title at a time. At Pianeta Amiga 2007, Cloanto announced that the "10K" milestone was near. The effort is now being expanded to content available in formats other than disk images, and to applications other than Amiga games and educational titles. First implementations embodying this new technology and data are planned for 2008. (snx)
