Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 This has been a rather quiet news month, with few strong stories to 
report. However, sometimes what you lack in quantity you make up for 
in quality. One story in particular is an eye-opener and, we think, 
very important. That would be the entry of a new manufacturer in the 
Amiga One arena. Check out our lead story on the Guru Meditation / 
Troika partnership. Great news!
 Also good news, for those who want to read a paper Amiga magazine in 
the wilds of North America, is the new arrangement announced by 
"Total Amiga" just today. Glad to see this effort undertaken, and 
"kudos" to all involved.
 Hmmmmm. Maybe it wasn't such a quiet news month, after all.
 We hope you enjoy this issue.
 Regards,
 Brad Webb,

Gothenburg, Sweden, September 24th, 2005

Guru Meditation and Troika NG are pleased to announce a joint
partnership in creating the next generation AmigaOS 4.0 motherboard.

Ever since Guru Meditation first heard about Troika, they gathered 
every little bit of information about their proposed board. Finally, 
contact was made.

Troika, who greatly respects the business Guru Meditation has built up
in short time, found it very easy to partner with them.

Resources provided by Guru Meditation are now being utilized by 
Troika's project "Prometheus". Troika believes that with the 
additional resources that Guru Meditation is providing they double or 
triple their effective man hours to finish the project faster, and 
thus bring the board to production sooner!

Andreas Loong of Guru Meditation said, "With this injection we hope to
see the board ready and in production earlier than expected. It also
means some interesting possibilities for the future.". He further 
added, "Looking at the specifications and the current shortage of 
hardware in the market spurred us on further, and we believe this will 
be a very nice addition, especially as a developer board. However, 
developer boards doesn't rule out other configurations, and we are 
confident that Troika and Guru Meditation is a winning combination".

Josh B. of TroikaNG commented "Guru Meditation is very well known for
good quality service and support in the AmigaOne Community. We are so
pleased for Guru Meditation to bring additional resources into the
Troika design".

The Amy'05 is a mini-ITX form factor computer based around the PowerPC 
750FX microprocessor. It is intended to be a low cost, legacy free 
system aimed at the embedded/home server market running versions of 
Linux and the Amiga OS4 operating system.

Although modest by modern hardware standards, Amy'05 has been designed 
in such a way as to leverage the highest performance possible with 
enough system throughput to make the best use of the PPC processor. 
The design has very much been balanced for performance and price. 

Guru Meditation & Troika NG

/Guru Meditation/ was formed late 2003 and started off very modestly
as a reseller of Amiga equipment and AmigaOne hardware. In mid 2004 
the decision was made to acquire the rights for Directory Opus to 
bring it back to the Amiga platform as the start of a new program of 
expansion to help kickstart the Amiga market back into life.

/Troika NG/ formed to provide the next generation in PPC computers,
based on the Troika "reference design". The final goal being, the next
generation Amiga at a very reasonable price/performance.

Total Amiga magazine is happy to announce a reduction of about 25% in 
the cost of a 4 issue subscription posted to the USA or Canada. To 
acheive this we have come to an agreement with Greg Condon, from the 
PANORAMA Amiga user group of Vancouver, to print a second run of the 
magazine in Canada. Printing in Canada reduces our postage costs both 
within Canada and to the USA enabling us to dramatically reduce the 
cost of a subscription.

A four issue subscription to either the USA or Canada will now cost 
only 15UKP (about 26USD) as compared to the the old price of 20UKP 
(35USD). Copies of the current issue of Total Amiga will now cost USA 
and Canadian buyers only 4.50UKP (8USD) compared to 6.00UKP 
previously. Back issue prices will also be reduced once back issue 
from the Canadian print runs are available.

Please note: all USD conversions are approximate, based on the current
exchange rate at xe.com.

As a "thank you" for their support, and to reflect our reduced costs, 
all existing subscribers in the USA or Canada with two or more issues 
outstanding on their subscription will have an extra issue added free 
of charge. This will happen automatically. Subscribers who have 
supplied us with an e-mail address should receive a personal e-mail 
confirming this over the weekend.

Orders for Total Amiga subscriptions to the USA and Canada will 
continue to be taken via the Total Amiga web site (where you can pay 
using your credit/debit card via PayPal) or through ForeMatt Home 
Computing who can accept credit card orders over the phone. The new 
US/Canada pricing is available on the Total Amiga web site now.

Total Amiga is also available through local Amiga dealers in many 
countries. We will be offering dealers in the USA and Canada a similar 
postage cost reduction from the next issue onwards. If you are a 
dealer interested in stocking the magazine please visit our web site 
for more information.

We hope this price reduction will benefit our existing subscribers in 
the USA and Canada and will also enable more Amiga users in those 
countries to enjoy the only English language print Amiga magazine 
currently available.

Total Amiga would like to thank Greg for volunteering to take on the 
responsibility of printing and distributing the magazine in North 
America.

I've successfully compiled Battle of Wesnoth.

The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a 
fantasy theme, and is now available for Amiga OS4.
Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate 
heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of 
mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the 

humans who dared despoil your lands. Wesnoth has many different sagas
waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and
write your own schenarios - or even full-blown campaigns. you can also
challenge your friends - or strangers - and fight multi-player epic
fantasy battles.

to run it (for now):

Assign USR: YourPath:path_where_wesnoth_exec_is
run wesnoth

f.e.
assign USr: DH2:Wesnoth
run wesnoth

When it starts, it is a little bit slow. so don't worry for the black 
screen. It has many options that can be passed to the command line. So 
a Gui (DANIEEEELLLL!!!) it is needed as usual..

Enjoy

Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for Unix-like 
systems (BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, and other 
platforms.

This is the fourth release of my port of Apache 1.3.33 to AmigaOS 4.0.
It includes support of PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 3.23.49 and has now a 
working cgi-module.
The previous version with PHP4-support is also included. It is 
possible to run these two versions at the same time, so you can test 
your code under both environments.

All important features are working now, so this is the first full 
release. This does not mean that developement is stopped ;-)

New in this release:

* Apache has now a working cgi-module! The cgi-code was totaly 
  rewritten   using AmigaDOS-functions and should be quite fast. 
  Please notice the   "How to use CGI"-section.

  For more informations look here: http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/
* Better performance!
* Added support of the strftime()-function.
* date()-function crashed when using option "r" - fixed.
  Thanks to Aldur.

Version 0.8.28 of the portable Amiga emulator has at last been 
released, at great cost to the sanity of the maintainer.

Binaries are available for AmigaOS (both AmigaOS4 and classic 68k 
machines) and for the AmigaOS clones MorphOS and AROS as well as a 
Linux, MacOS X and BeOS.

This version features a tweaked AmigaOS graphics driver which now 
works properly on AmigaOS4 update #3 and the OS4.0 build offers better 
performance, an improved SCSI emulation (this lets you access host 
CD-ROM drives directly), AmigaInput support and at last a useful CD32 
emulation.

Two OS4.0 builds are available - one which uses the native graphics 
driver and one which uses the SDL library. The former does not yet 
support E-UAE's Picasso96 emulation, so if you want to emulate an 
Amiga with a graphics card, use the SDL version for now. Otherwise, 
the non-SDL version offers better performance (especially for the 
CD32 emulation).

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 
 As summer comes to an end (sigh) we find we have a couple of
interesting shows to report on this time, and some interesting
software. My favorite this month has to be the Mindspace drawing
program, honestly released as "vaguely usefull". Now there's a
designation you aren't going to see from Micro$oft although it would
be appropriate in many cases.
 It's not an Amiga only item, but the mid-air display announced this
month by the folks at IO2technology has to be about the coolest
thing to come along in quite a while, and is probably the current
ultimate geek toy. For a number of days after the anouncement you
simply couldn't get into their website for the traffic. You can read
about it below, but be sure to check out the website for yourselves
and take a look at the videos. Reading between the lines, it seems
they may only have prototypes actually built so far, but the product
seems real enough. Wonder how well - or if - it will work with an
A1? As soon as someone knows, please tell us!
 We hope you enjoy this issue.
 Brad Webb,
 Editor

>From IO2 Technolgy:

Overview

The Heliodisplay includes patented and patent pending technology to
transform normalambient air and display video images into free-space.
Some Heliodisplay models are interactive allowing a finger or hand to
move images around in the air as if one were grabbing a tangible 
object.

The Heliodisplay requires a power outlet, and a computer, TV, DVD or
alternate video source. The current version of the Heliodisplay
projects a 22" to 42" (depending on model) diagonal image that floats
above the device. The Heliodisplay system is backward compatible and
accepts most 2D video sources (PC,TV, DVD, HDTV, Video game
consoles). For connection to a computer, the Heliodisplay uses a
standard monitor VGA connection; for TV or DVD viewing, it connects
using a standard RGB video cable.

Heliodisplay images are easily viewed in an office environment. Like
any computer monitor or TV, images appear brighter the lower the
ambient light. Also, just like viewing any computer monitor or TV,
viewing a Heliodisplay image in direct sunlight is almost impossible.

The Heliodisplay is interactive, like a virtual touchscreen. A hand
or finger can act as a mouse. No special glove or pointing device is
required. Just as you use a mouse to move the cursor on a traditional
computer monitor, you can use your finger to move the cursor around
the Heliodisplay image (see: Images & Videos).The Heliodisplay
connects to a computer (at least: Pentium III 400MHZ;25MB free disk
space;Win2000/XP) through a USB port.


Operating the device will not change a room's environment, air
quality or other conditions. Air comes into the device, is modified
then ejected and illuminated to produce the image. Nothing is added
to the air so there isn't any harmful gas or liquid emitted from the
device. If a Heliodisplay were left running for a week in a
hermetically sealed room, the only change to the room`s environment
would be from the electricity used to run the device. Although the
Heliodisplay uses lasers, the images are not holographic.

The image is display into two-dimensional space (i.e.planar).
Heliodisplay images appear 3D when viewed from more than a few feet
away because there is no physical depth reference. Images can be seen
up to 75?off aspect for a total viewing area of over 150?- similar to
an LCD screen. Viewing requires no special glasses or background
foreground screening.


The Heliodisplay is backward compatible and accepts most 2D video
sources (PC,TV, DVD, HDTV, Video game consoles). For connection to a
computer, the Heliodisplay uses a standard monitor VGA connection;
for TV or DVD viewing, it connects using a standard RGB video cable.

This version of the Heliodisplay is interactive, like a virtual
touchscreen. A hand or finger can act as a mouse for mouse/cursor
control. No special glove or pointing device is required. Just as you
use a mouse to move the cursor on a traditional computer monitor, you
can use your finger to move the cursor around the Heliodisplay image
(see: Images & Videos). The Heliodisplay connects to a computer (at
least: Pentium III 400MHZ;25MBfree disk space; Win2000/XP) through a

E-UAE 0.8.28
============

This is a fork of UAE, the Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, with an
emulation corebased on WinUAE. It attempts to bring many of the great
features of WinUAEto non-Windows platforms. This version now finally
has a name, E-UAE, sincethat's what everybody was calling it anyway.
The 'E' can stand for anythingyou fancy. Experimental, extreme,
exciting, egalitarian, eggplant, . . .

Currently it will build and run (with a varying degree of supported
features) on Linux and other Unices, Mac OS X, BeOS, AmigaOS itself
(either for 68k machines or PPC machines with OS4.0) and the AmigaOS
clones AROS and MorphOS. OS X requires either LibSDL or an X server
for graphicsoutput, but native graphics are supported on AmigaOS and
BeOS, although, at the moment, SDL is also preferred on BeOS since
the native driver is incomplete.

E-UAE is open-source software and is made available under the terms
of the GPL. See the COPYING file included with the E-UAE archive for
details.

E-UAE is based on the work of dozens of contributors including Bernd
Schmidt (the original author and maintainer of UAE), Bernie Meyer
(the author of the x86 JIT compiler), Toni Wilen (the current
maintainer of WinUAE), and many more.

To make full use of E-UAE you will need access to an image of some
version of the Amiga Kickstart ROM (although UAE does include a ROM
emulation which may work with some old games). The Amiga Kickstart
ROMs are copyrighted material and may not be freely distributed (so
don't ask me for a copy). If you don't have an Amiga from which you
can legally make a ROM image, a selection of ROM images are available
for purchase online from Cloanto (publishers of the Amiga Forever
distribution). Seehttp://www.amigaforever.com/


What's new since 0.8.27
=======================

General
-------
* Many core emulation changes and fixes merged from WinUAE 1.0.
* Optimized interpretive 68k emulation with speed improvements of up
to 30%.
* Fixes for building with GCC 4.0.
* Fixes for building on 64-bit hosts such as the AMD64.
* Option not to use the CPU's time-stamp counter for synchronization
on x86,
  AMD64 and PPC machines (generally you will want to).
* Fixed virtual filesystem bug that was causing IBrowse to crash.
* Improved 'new' bsdsocket emulation (and it now works on OS X and on
  AMD64/Linux too). 
* Better screenmode support in SDL graphics driver.
* X11 driver supports raw key-mapping for xfree86 keycodes.
* Documentation updates (thanks to Henrik Farre for documenting the
  command-line options).

Linux
-----
* Faster start-up on x86 and AMD64 systems and PPC systems with Open
  Firmware (it's no longer necessary to perform TSC/TBC calibration at
  start-up). 
* CPU frequency scaling supported on x86/AMD64 systems.

OS X
----
* Faster start-up (it's no longer necessary to perform timing
calibration at  start-up). 
* Improved Cocoa dialogs (thanks to Steve Saunders).

AmigaOS (and clones)
--------------------
* Fixed virtual filesystem bug that broke mounting of a host path
ending in
  a ':' or a '/'.
* Faster start-up on OS4 on AmigaONE hardware (it's no longer
necessary to
  perform timing calibration at start-up).
* High/true-colour rendering supported on AROS.
* AmigaOS graphics driver now works on OS4 update 3.
* Emulated SCSI device and hence CD32 emulation now work on OS4.0
(support  other Amiga-like OSes will follow).

Win32
-----
* Rudimentary support added for compiling with MinGW32 against SDL
(and I've  also heard that it works with Cygwin). This is just for
fun right now, and  if you want UAE on Windows you're much better off
sticking to WinUAE.


Still to do
===========

The following features of WinUAE are not supported:

* Serial and parallel port emulation.
* AHI soundcard emulation.
* Catweasel support.
* OpenGL rendering and graphics filters.
* Snapshots
* Emulation of a CD32 controller.
* Floppy drive sounds.
* Everything else that I've forgotten about.


Known problems
==============

Some significant misfeatures that I know about and am working to fix:

* Only platforms supporting the GTK+ toolkit have a useable
configuration  GUI (and the GTK+ GUI is still incomplete).
* JIT direct memory access only works on Linux/x86 and, by default,
you may   only emulate up to 32MB of direct ZIII RAM; select more
than that and the  JIT will fall back on indirect memory access and
hence will be slower.
  This is due to a system limit on the size of a POSIX shared memory
  segment. You can overcome this limit my modifying the value of the
procfs  setting, /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax.
* Autoscroll screens are broken in Picasso96 emulation.
* Virtual filesystem doesn't support platforms which use UTF-8 for
filenames  (e.g., OS X, Linux with a UTF-8 locale, etc.). Filenames
with characters  outside of the core ASCII range will be mangled.
* Hard files are limited to 2GB in size.
* Full documentation is lacking.


Using E-UAE
===========

Documentation is a work-in-progress. See the docs directory.


Compiling E-UAE yourself
========================

See the docs/compiling.txt file for more information about building 
E-UAE.

27 August, 2005

AmiPodder version 1.2 is now available for download. This release
speeds up the "Update all Channels" operation by checking to see if
the channel has been updated before downloading and processing the
feed. It's a small change but makes the "Upate all" feature much more
usable.

Podcasting is a new way for anyone (from large companies to
individuals) to distribute radio programs they have made themselves.
Podcasting has rapidly gained popularity, particularly with the
recent addition of podcasting support to Apple's iTunes music
software. AmiPodder enables you to subscribe (for free) to podcast
fees on your Amiga!

Once you have subscribed to a feed within AmiPodder, you can browse
the available podcasts and download the ones that interest you.
AmiPodder can be configured to download new podcasts automatically so
there is always something fresh and interesting to listen to. Once a
podcast has been downloaded AmiPodder can play it using MP3 player
utility on your Amiga and, optionally, copy it onto a portable MP3
player for listening anywhere.

What is it? - RockBEAT is a simple software drum machine for
AmigaOS4.It is a tool for musicians that allows you to create
drumming tracks. It can create multiple tracks, each one being 4x 4/4
measures with 16th notes. You can save individual tracks as wav
files, or the whole thing as one big song. You can drop in your own
16bit 44100Hz PCM WAV samples in the drumsamples/ folder if you like.
Great for the bedroom guitarist!

- RockBEAT 1.1 now available. It
fixes a few teething problems

- No more grim reaper alerts when starting then stopping playback
quickly I removed an AbortIO() call that wasnt really needed.

- Theres no more excess silence at the end of wav files for
individually saved tracks

- Button graphics are freed up when quitting now

- All message ports are emptied and deleted when quitting. No more
"unfreed signals" error messages now, and I think it has brought up
stability a little.

- Drum samples limit changed to 20. It used to crash after more than
10 samples were loaded due to a silly programming error. i.e. looping
up to 20 times when there were only 10 available spaces in the array.

- Adding new samples to the drumsamples/ folder will no longer make
old projects invalid

- Better compatibility with some WAVs. RockBEAT used to assume a
certain WAV header value was a always certain size, but I've found
out it can bedifferent.

- I have included a cool cymbal sample to the default drumsamples/ set

The demo is restricted to 10 minutes. If you like it, you can
purchase a keyfile from me for $15 USD.
This is not an automated process. Once I recieve notice of your
payment, I will email you a keyfile as soon as possible. This
shouldnt be longerthan 48 hours.

New versions of Horny (OS 4 native MIDI-sequencer) by Inutilis
Software and Audio Evolution 4 (OS 4 native audio-sequencer) by Davy
Wentzler have been released. Both are supporting the eXtream Sync
library for synchronizing now, so MIDI and audio can be used for the
same project. Pressing "play" in one application will start both at
the identical position (same for all other transport functions, of
course).

Inutilis Horny 1.1:

Screenshots and more information at http://www.inutilis.de/horny/
index.html

- added eXtreamSync support for synchronizing with AudioEvolution 4
and other software

- muting individual sequences is possible now

- "Running Status" compression for SMF export implemented

- SysEx import/export with SMF

- SysEx loading/saving from SysEx Manager

- SysEx Manager: Number of Messages are shown in the group list

- "Set Loop around Sequence(s)" function added to "Sequence(s)" menu

- some chapters of manual translated to English (incomplete and old, 
sorry, but better than nothing??)

- added some instrument files (thanks to Daniel Jedlicka)

...more small changes and several bugfixes


Audio Evolution 4.0.8:

More information and downloads at http://www.audio-evolution.com

- supports eXtream Sync

- Many bug fixes including aux and mastering bugs

Description:     Matrix screen saver
Download:     glmatrix.tgz   
Version:     1.3
Date:     01 Aug 05
Author:     Steen Lund Nielsen
Submitter:     Steen Lund Nielsen
Email:     steen@flux-studios.com
Requirements:     Warp3D
Category:     graphics/screenblanker
Replaces:     graphics/screenblanker/glmatrixos4.lha
License:     Other
Distribute:     yes
FileID:     930


This is a port of the screen saver glmatrix from the xscreensaver
package by Jamie Zawinski.

The porting was done by Shadow of IRIS, aka. Steen Lund Nielsen. 
Contact me at: steen@flux-studios.com

Requirements:

A 3D graphics card
Warp3D
AOS4

Installation:

Copy GLMatrix aswell as Matrix3_half2.png to the same directory.
For example 'WBStartup'.

Usage:

The screen saver runs as a commodity. The preference gui can be
accessed through commodity exchange or by running the program
twice.

The GUI is rather simple:

Timeout: The period in seconds it waits before blanking the
screen.

Density: Adjusts how many columns of symbols are dropped from
the top down.

Speed: Adjusts the animation speed.

Encoding: Selects different symbols.

Screen Mode: Select your prefered screen mode.

Fog: Enable/Disable distance cueing.

Wave: Enable/Disable waving of symbols.

Rotate: Enable/Disable camera rotation.

Invert alpha: Inverts the alpha channel of the texture. Enable
this if you are using a B/CVisionPPC or CV3D. I do not know if
this is still true for the OS4 version.
