Finally the German version of the HSMathLibs is finished.
Betatests are closed and translations are under work.
After a very long time there will be a new version of the
HSMathLibs again. This is for all registered users. But there will
be a new demo version as well. I can't tell an explicit date of release now,
it depends on how fast the translations will be finished.

Video-Player: Frogger Version 2.0 Beta (Update)
It's been a while since last Frogger release, but I believe it was worth waiting ;)
Version 2.0 has been basically written from scratch, and can now play, besides
mpeg and str movies, also avi (Windows Media), qt (Quicktime), rm (RealMedia),
asf/wmv (Advanced Streaming Format) and roq (ID games movie format) files.
See features to learn more about what this baby can do for you.
You can download version for PPC (PowerUP, WarpUP and MorphOS) as well as
68k version here. Most of audio/video codecs are now distributed as external
plugins, so remember to download codecs, either ppc or 68k, depending on what
version you prefer.
Please note, that this release should be considered as beta, with lot of things
still missing, and with lot of bugs (some known, check included documentation
for more info, and some still waiting to be discovered...)
Now enjoy.
Alternative to the title link you can use also this mirror:
http://highantdev.de/frogger/.
Update:
SVQ1 codec update.
An update to svq1 decoder is available at download page. This update fixes decoding video with width not 16 pixels aligned. Also, GRAY only decoding is now enabled. Source code archive with updated sources available as well.
Last, but not least, there is missing frogger.iff image at download page.

Amithlon: release date of v2.0 postponed
The release date of the already by some Amiga dealers announced Amithlon v2.0
will probably be postponed. Bernd Meyer wrote on the Amithlon ml that the
unfortunate connection with Haage & Partner in the past had made him once
more trouble on the way to the release of Amithlon. That's why Bernd doesn't
believe that the originally planned released date can be kept up. But he hopes
that the delay won't take too long.
The original posting by Bernd Meyer (in English) can be found

akJFIF/PNG/TIFF 45.1 now freeware and Amithlon-optimized
Starting with V45.1 (29.6.02), the datatypes akJFIF/PNG/TIFF are
Freeware. The keyfile code and some other legacy stuff
has been removed. This also may speed things up, since there
are less special cases to be covered.
Furthermore, a couple of different optimizations in the 68k code
have been made, some bugs were fixed and some amithlon/uae-
specific optimizations have been made.
Download links:
These datatypes now are specifically targeted to high-end 68k
machines and their emulated counterparts.

Emulator: MAME v0.60 for 68k
Next to the port of Freecraft (see Amiga-News dated
June, 28th 2002) has SixK
released MAME v0.60 in a 68k version on his
homepage, too. This version is first in
line thought for Amithlon users as a real 68k Amiga would be to slow for a
68k MAME.

Out of curiosity, I've removed PPC support from akJFIF datatype
and instead did some uae/amithlon-specific optimizations (no native

Commodore 64 radio commercials
The Commodore Billboard has been updated. This time with 4 English and 4
French radio commercials. All in high quality 192 Kbps mp3. These are all
"donut" versions meaning that the radio station would get a soundtrack
and then add speak themselves. Found on a tape at a Canadian radio
station in Vancouver. The update also includes several C64, Vic20, PET,
Amiga etc. adverts and brochures. Also tons of stuff in the miscellaneous
section...pins, posters, mousepads, telephones and much more.

Amiga Community by SixK
|
SixK SDL-game port: Freecraft version 1.17.1
SixK offers ports of SDL-games on its website 'Amiga Community'. The
SDL-library makes the programming of games and other multimedia-products
possible which do not depend on platforms.
The game Freecraft in version 1.17.1 has been now added. It is a
clone of Warcraft. According to SixK the game runs fine on Amithlon (but
there are some colour problems), a little bit slower on an Amiga (040/33)
and should run very well on an Amiga with 060 processor and graphic board.

ANN: Alan Redhouse clarifies coupon promotion
Eyetech speak up about the coupon promotion. I leave it up to you to draw
your own conclusions. "No this is not our promotion - and Bill will post
the clarification details later. But we are shipping A1 boards + OS4-OEM
to dealers (inc Amiga Inc.) and that plus complete systems ourselves.
It is likely that you will probably be able to cash your voucher direct
with dealers - but it is down to Amiga Inc. to give out the details of
how this will work. The main issue - as so many people have pointed out -
is how to avoid the banks becoming the main beneficiaries of what was a
well intentioned user support program (we pay euros15 ~USD15 on every
receipt transaction for example).

... it is hard to believe!!
The story:
On 24th April 2002 an eBay-member (abreviated as Mr. P.) bought a 40
gigabyte Maxtor harddrive. Normally that's quite a simple thing because
this week two pieces of them have been bought which both were not too old.
But the rather extrem aimlessness and the very strange behaviour of this
one customer let this story escalate which you can read on my homepage
under the title link (unfortunately only in German).

New compilation of FTPMount
Martin Elsner writes:
Alessandro Marinuzzi had some interesting ideas and an Italian catalog -
so we updated FTPMount which can now be installed without permanent
changes to your system - if you want ;)
I must confess that the executable is still the same, but I have just
managed to compile it with StormC3 - it's a bit bigger, but I can now
make some changes, so if you have some important ideas ...
Available on Aminet and on my homepage.

Programming Language: BlitzBasic (PC) Version 1.76
The BlitzBASIC update to version 1.76 has appeared. There are some bugfixes
and a very interesting new texture flag 256. This makes it possible to
draw textures much more quickly "on the fly" than was possible with
normal texture flags up until now.
Additionally practical tests can now be performed that function
perfectly, even with ScaleMesh() and multitexturing!

Hot: Hard Times for Internet Businesses (Update)
Yesterday Albrecht Kinzhofer brought the above article to our attention. In the article it is described that the Frankfurt credit card service provider EuroCard Systems made a contract with one customer, who does Web shipments. The reason is that there were too many dishonest customers.
Kinzhofer fears that this new development could affect many Amiga dealers, who only have the ability to pay COD, where the costs are usually bundled in with the price the customer pays.
We want to inquire of Amiga dealers, software houses and others, if they have had similarly bad experiences and what consequences have arisen from that.
Update:
In the comments section on the German side there have been many interesting points of view and other bits of information.

AmigaOS XL: Experiences with the H&P Big Tower 1800+ (V 1.27)
In my report, I describe the experiences I have made with the Big-Tower. Version 1.27 of the
report contains several additions in the chapters "AmigaXL", "QNX" and "Software". The
software table has been optically improved. Furthermore, I have a little goody for my loyal
readers. But I won't tell more here.
Note: Amiga-Voyager shows only ads instead of the pictures. Therefore, I still recommend to
use AWeb or disable background images in Amiga-Voyager. A move to a better server is to
come after my vacation. But at that time, amiga-news.de will be on vacation.
I hope that someone has written a report about Amithlon 2.0 until then. ;-)

Amiga Future: Poll - "What OS do you prefer on the Pegasos?"
Today a new poll (in German) was started on the Amiga Future homepage: "What OS do you prefer on the Pegasos?" Additionally, the results of the last poll have been published in the interactive area.
Note: English speakers can probably handle this with these short instructions:
- go to page linked at title of this article
- click on the word "interactive" on that page
- make your selection in the yellow box on the next page
- click "abstimmen" to vote.
Good luck! -DM
