CardTrickEVD Patch for ShapeShifter 3.11
Harry Sintonen has provided a patch under the title link, which allows the blitter acceleration of the CardTrickEVD driver (Aminet) even with version 3.11 of the Mac emulator ShapeShifter.
Niels Knoop's CardTrickEVD is a graphics card driver for ShapeShifter and replaces the integrated CyberGraphX/P96 driver.
Update: (06:04, 15.06.07, snx)
Meanwhile there is also a corresponding patch for PippinEVD, which driver enables the usage of a picture-in-picture display for graphics cards that support this by hardware. (snx) (Translation: tz)

Magazin: Preview of Amiga Future 67 (German/English) online
Press release From today a preview as well as reading rehearsals from the Amiga Future 67 (July/August 2007) are now online. This is the first release which is published in English at the same time.
We hope we could compose an interesting issue for you. Again the readers cd contains 20 progams as full version.
A detailed table of contents as well as German and English reading rehearsals can be found at our homepage.
Issue no. 67 will be released at July 5, if nothing special will happen. This means we will send the subscriptions and reservations by mail at this day.
The Amiga Future can be ordered straight from the editorial office under the title link or from certain amiga dealers like Alinea, AmigaKit, GGS Data, Guru Meditation and Vesalia.
We kindly ask all users to order issue no. 67 as soon as possible. Within a short time we must tell our print shop the total amount of the magazine. Because of obviously logical reasons we will print only a small reserve besides the existing orders.
In case of a question just send an email to Andreas@amigafuture.de with the subject "Amiga". (snx) (Translation: tz)

New installation aids for SUBWAY USB controller
Two new installation aids are available as PDF files for the popular USB controller SUBWAY, which show connecting the SUBWAY to the Zorro cards Xsurf and Buddha from individual computers. You can find these documents on E3B's web pages under the title link in the Support/Mounting area.
Thanks to the assistance of an active SUBWAY user, who has created both documents and released them for download, connecting the controller to the clockports of the aforementioned cards should prove to be considerably easier with these, since, unfortunately, no details on the orientation of of the clockports are to be found in the documentation of either Zorro card.
In case of questions and obscurities when installing the SUBWAY, the producer E3B continues to ask for contacting E3B support. (nba) (Translation: cad)

MorphOS: OpenTTD 0.5.2 (final)
OpenTTD is an open-source clone of the well-known PC strategy game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe" from the 90's with many extensions - a network mode, individual graphic sets and adaptations to more than two dozen languages, among other things.
In version 0.5.2 (final), some errors were corrected again, so "NewGRF's" (graphic and function extension sets) can now simply be copied to the "data/" directory and activated or deactivated using the NewGRF settings inside the program - changing the configuration file OpenTTD.cfg manually is no longer necessary.

The program will be rerun on Monday on 3sat (7:00 and 9:45 o'clock) as well as on Tuesday on ZDF (1:50 o'clock). (snx) (Translation: cad)

The only updated file is the Imagetool, please only use it with the latest beta-drivers V2.3.0.0. Download: imagetool_hotfix.zip (77,6K). Caution: This hotfix has only been tested with Amiga-disks!
Oliver Achten has done a lot of work on the MMC64: Since MMC- and SD-cards with a capacity of more than 4G are already available, MMC64 now supports the FAT32 filesystem. This more modern filesystem also has advantages on smaller flashcards, because most C64-files are so small that FAT16 will only waste a lot of space. The new BIOS also made updates on the plugins necessary, most plugins experienced a complete re-write, the old plugins will be updated shortly and can currently only be used with FAT16. The MP3-plugin can now playback whole directories as playlists, the AVF-plugin plays an MMC64-proprietary video format that also utilizes the MP3@64 module. The Picture-plugins have also been updated and they are available in version 1.3 on our support page. An example video file in AVF-format is also located there, because we don't have a converter for your videos yet.
Peter Wendrich has made major updates to the C64-core for the C-One in the past few months. The interrupt behaviour of the CPU has been corrected, a bug in sprite display in the lower screen area has been removed, and the timing-behaviour of the CIA-chips has been implemented according to the results of Peter's detailed research. The new core is available in the download-area of the C-One Webseite. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Photos from a Polish MorphOS 2.0 presentation
The clues are increasing that the next version of MorphOS should carry the version number 2.0 and the time to the release must no longer be counted in years, but in months: As yet unconfirmed rumors have it that Jacek "Jacadcaps" Piszczek has made a MorphOS 2.0 presentation at the Polish event Amimajówka 2007.
Those who inspect the photos from the event more closely, will actually discover some improvements: For example, semitransparent windows or screenshots from a TCP stack can be seen, among other things.

Law Suit Amiga vs. Hyperion: First Claims from Hyperions lawyers
In the law suit Amiga Inc. vs. Hyperion Hyperion's lawyers have made their first declaration. The claims and declarations as well as the other court files are available on the net:
hyperionobjectshow_case_doc.pdf
amigakinselnotappshow_case_doc.pdf
hyperionaffservshow_case_doc.pdf
hyperioncertservshow_case_doc.pdf
kinselsupdecshow_case_doc.pdf
hyperiondeckinsellshow_case_doc.pdf
Hyperion's lawyers are mentioning only formal juristic problems without giving a statement to the descriptions and claims of Amiga Inc.'s complaint: During the commencement of proceedings Amiga has applied for an "expedited discovery" - this is an expedited procedure whereas the accused party is only given a period of ten days instead of 30 for answering the items of the charging party.
Hyperion argues that the requirements for this "expedited discovery" would not exist, as they are only allowed in rare exceptions. Obviously Amiga would try to capture Hyperion the possibility of an adequate defence. Further arguments are mentioned that Hyperion wasn't informed in time of the commencement of action - as required by law together with the opening of the proceeding - and the claim wasn't delivered in one of Belgium's national languages but English . Hyperion is complainig this as illegal with a referral of the "Hague Convention for service of process overseas".
Contentwise Hyperion denies Amiga's demands for the intellectual property of AmigaOS 4.0 and announces a vigorous resistance against the accuser's claims. (cg) (Translation: tz)

With the latest version a bug has been removed, which lead to a creash when started from Workbench with undefined tooltypes. Also the design of the wildcard icon has been changed slightly.
Eastern is available for AmigaOS 3 and OS4 (cg) (Translation: ub)
