CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko emulate MPEG Modul
The Windows cd32 emulator Akiko by Airsoft Softwair is now able to emulate the mpeg module of the CD32. The speed is amazing as well as the sound and video quality because all the cpu-intensive operations are done by the x86 cpu. It was really hard work to implement this feature but the result is really overwhelming. You can finally watch the mpeg intros which were just skipped for users without an mpeg module (e.g. Cannon Fodder). And of course the cool Commodore commercial with the mad scientist and his assistent. I quickly made some screenshots and uploaded them to the Akiko product page. more ... (ps)

Chat with bplan at #AmigaFun
#AmigaFun: Realtime chat with Salvador Fernandez Gomez of bplan

On Monday, 21st January 2002, you can chat with Salvador Fernandez Gomez of bplan at the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. He is known as one of the minds of bplan, well known with Pegasos. In the near future Pegasos will be released. You can ask him about bplan, Pegasos, and maybe some questions about MorphOS. The chat is organised with the help of Amiga Future.

You can reach the IRC channel #Amigafun this way:

IRC Server (without "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org
IRC Port: 6667
IRC Kanal: #amigafun

If the server malfunctions you can get access via this server: amigafun.ma.cx (without "irc.")

TIP:

You can reach the chat also via the #AmigaFun Homepage, Amiga Future Homepage and from the Amiga-News.de Forum as HTML chat.

But we cannot guarantee that this HTML chat will function perfectly and programs like AMIRC and BlackIRC are more comfortable so we recommend to use an IRC client.

The used languages are German and English and the logfiles will be available at the Amiga Future and #AmigaFun homepages. (ps) (Translation: gf)

Graphic Adventure-Developer Kit: Inga-Engine Version 0.9/5
Timo Kloss writes:
Once again there is a version which is really almost totally finished! Of course the Audio-CD-Support is still missing. Compared to the last version the most outstanding difference is the following: the plug-in system has been removed!!! What's all this about? All the features offered by the plug-ins of late have now been firmly integrated (sound-/ language and MED-music) and can be activated by using normal script commands. Accordingly, Inga has been prepared to be ported to other platforms. However, a complete compatibility of all versions would be endangered by a plug-in system. Consequently, it has been removed! Further information can be found in the compendium under "LadeSound", "SpieleModule" etc. Besides the following improvements have been made:
  • You can now also talk to the characters even when you can't run to them all the way (because of the run card). However, it's still not possible to give them anything (that is to say "WennBenutzt" works but "WennBenutzt-Mit" doesn't work!).
  • The destination of the run towards the characters is now better calculated. So far it has only been possible to run either on the left-hand or right-hand side (only provisional).
  • Small mistakes have been removed: If animated characters appeared for example only from the left-hand side and if they bent forward, it was impossible to find a suitable representation.
  • Inga-pictogram information now enables the features "NOSOUND" and "NOPLAYER" as a substitute for "DISABLE" at the plug-ins. You can find further information in the game instructions.
  • The speed of the characters can now be changed. (Consult the compendium under "Laufschnelligkeit" (speed)).

Telepolis: Buried in New Mexiko
According to an investigation of the Telepolis editor Konrad Lischka had the company Atari bought the computer producer Amiga. In the third last paragraph it is written that: "After Tramiel had bought Atari the company concentrated on the home computer market. To enter into the market for respectable business clients Atari took over the Computer producer Amiga.

This is not correct.
1984: Amiga, then represented by the chief developer Jay Miner (formerly chief developer of Atari) had in his financial need already got a private credit from Jack Tramiel (who was the founder of Commodore Business Machines, but then parted from the company because of differences, and afterwards bought the clapped-out game console producer Atari). A takeover of Amiga through Atari had already been negotiated. This takeover was avoided in the last moment through a better offer by Commodore (remember: Tramiel had already left Commodore) what led also to a repayment of Jack Tramiels private investment. The takeover had cost 27 millions dollars. To be looked up in the History of the AMIGA. (ps) (Translation: wk)

From the beginning of this year a new freeware "scene" raytraycer is under development - "Kray".
