Short Software News (19.04.2003)
Emulator: Mame for MorphOS Version 0.67
- Mame0.67 added (bug fixes and overlay support) see readme.txt for more information.
Tool: MCP Version 1.42
MCP ("MasterControlProgram") from Dieter Groppé version 1.42
Emulator: A/NES CGFX v1.31
The cool feature added here is the autoframerate option that makes miracles
(well close to) for your NSF's assuming you usually don't have a fast enough
computer to play them back at correct speed. Worth to check out anyway hopefully.
You'll find the latest archive in the download section. Be sure to run the
installer aswell if your earlier A/NES CGFX version is < v1.30 since the
installation procedure now installs more files than previous versions.
Anyway, enjoy the release and have a Happy Easter! :-)

There is another update of the "Extreme Amiga 600 Upgrading Page". The site documents
the upgrade of an Amiga 600. The current highlight: The Amiga 600 was equipped with
USB-ports and therefore should be the only A 600 with which you can use USB devices.

Realms of Power - Internet Page Online
The Internet page for the game Realms of Power was placed online today. There you'll find information about and screenshots of
the game, and its state of development.
Realms of Power is a round-based strategy game. It has a powerful resemblance to the game Civilization, and has a few characteristics of
the game Colonization as well. The parameters of the game world are wideranging and generally adjustable. So it is left to you to decide
if you play a cold or a war planet, if you prefer vast oceans or almost entirely land surfaces.
16 peoples are ready, to be played by or against humans. These are, for example, the Germans, the English, the French, the Romans, the
Zulus, or also the Egyptians. The individual units (like airplanes, tanks, destroyers or battle vehicles) wait only to be built and sent against the
enemy. But perhaps you would rather negotiate a peace and send a diplomat?
In order to be able to build the individual units and the urban projects (such as churches, factories, barrracks, or harbors) the hard work of
the steadily growing numbers of city folk, who process the differentiated raw materials (such as wood, stone, coal, or oil as well). And
naturally it may also not be forgotten, to arrange the supply of food for the workers. In order to make adjustments to the quantities of raw
materials, it is also possible to conduct trade with friendly peoples. But only as long as they do not become your enemies - and that happens
sooner than maybe you would like, because the goal is to rule the world after all! Or do you prefer to conquer a neighboring planet with a
few colonists. If this world can't be yours, then perhaps the next?
System Requirements
Minimum configuration:
Amiga with OS3.1, 68020 @ 14 Mhz,

Amiforce Celebrates Its 2nd Birthday
For the second birthday of the site the following things have been prepared for you:
German Amiblitz 2.30 full distribution:
The distribution has been completely updated and once more contains Amiblitz2 and PED in their latest stable releases, in
the German and English languages. Besides the German Amiblitz2.guide, the installation scripts have also been translated,
with help in the chosen language, just as all necessary ASSIGNs and system components are installed. The guide
has been carefully reworked in the license section, to make clear and understandable the fact that software assembled
with Amiblitz doesn't have to be GPL! An update archive will be added in a short time.
German AmiblitzML archive:
A few days ago, the archive of the German Amiblitz2 mailing list was added to Aminet. Thanks to
Antidote for the great work.
Classic games:
In the Games Fun area there is a new designation covering never-released classic games. The games were developed in AMOS and
account of that they don't run on graphic cards. Except for that the programs have no special requirements and even run without
special arrangement on a '060. The developer Dietmar Graemer would be happy to hear some feedback. For this purpose every info
box has a contact form, with which one may easily and without problems directly contact the developers. Dietmar is interested in
further development and also in new games. This is dependent on your interest. Enrico Graemer is no longer interested in future
development, so there is no contact form for him.
Included are the following games:
- Digger95:
A really addictive game, which also has graphics that look great even today. A lot of people will remember
Digger. At one time this was a classic on the KC computer of then East Germany.
- Diamantus:
Diamantus is based on a play method similar to Digger95. There's also much fun to be experienced here. The game
makes a tidy impression, and with a lot of levels there is little chance of boredom.
- Wirtschworker:
With 500 levels this is the most wideranging game, and Wirtschworker is also a lot of fun. I can promise you right now that your gray
brain cells are going to get a workout. ;)
- Lotto Number Generator:
This is not a game, but it wouldn't make sense to make a separate category for it. This program doesn't need a whole lot
of explanation, and maybe it brings happiness to someone or other.
The programs come with instructions. Soon, the programs will be described on the website, but we haven't had time to do this
yet. The most important information is nevertheless contained on the pages for the games. Have fun!
Game announcement (3D shooter for OS4):
There's a new game project in development. The end result is to be a 3D-Shooter that appears for Windows and Amiga OS4.
At this time it's developed on Windows. As soon as the AmigaOne with OS4 is set to go, the porting of the completed parts
may begin.
The heart of the whole thing is an already much-progressed 3D engine: Cruiser3D.
After the outstanding development of the engine it will naturally be near to the development of a complete game.
The 3D-Shooter will probably be in the horror genre, but we are not committing ourselves.
A small excerpt of the characteristics of Cruiser3D:
- Conversion of models (characters) from well-known games such as Q1, Q2, HalfLife, Serious Sam, Unreal I + II etc. (to the extent that
the data formats are usable)
- Terrains of height maps for outdoor levels
- BSP for indoor levels
- Dynamic lighting and shadows (shadows are 25% ready)
- Mirrow effects (about 50%)
- Particle system
- Pathfinder (25% ready)
- Flocking (known from role playing and fantasy games)
- SkyBox
- Enormously high velocity
- Planned are formats such as C4D, Monzoom and so on
Through the following link you can see one of the
quickly put-together scenes. To be seen are known (textured) models and other elements, which are animated.
The free camera movement unfortunately can't be seen here, and the particle system can also not really be
appreciated.
The screenshot is unfortunately very quickly made. Everything was thrown together in a hurry. Soon, more information
will follow, and an area will be established at Amiforce to track the status.
Heartfelt wishes of happiness from amiga-news.de team for the second birthday of Amiforce!

Web filter tool: Privoxy version 3.0.2
Since the 25th of March there is an update of the free open source project Privoxy at the Sourceforge page available. The version 3.0.2 fixes smaller bugs and has an increased blocking system for unliked websites or pop ups.
There are several versions available, among these are AOS, MorphOS and ohters (e.g. Unix or even WinniesDOS).
With the daily use there were no hard erors reported, compared to the recent version 3.0.0 it even gained some stability.

New security concept at OpenBSD
OpenBSD is one of the UN!XE which is ported for the Amiga 68k, too.
In contrast to NetBSD or Linux, OpenBSD is pay attached to the safety for server tasks.
So there is practically only one distribution where introduction of new drivers, services or performance, is staying behind.
For it security concepts have precedence. The default setting of OpenBSD applies as very safe.
In contrast to other systems, OpenBSD has ran only one safety gap in the default setting and the distribution.
