New Details about the CD32 Games Install Kit v4.0 NG
Due to great demand here a more detailed list of what has changed in Install Kit v4.0:
  • Install2001 supports RTG graphic mode for owner of graphics boards.
  • There are both, a Gadtools and a MUI interface for the Install Kit.
  • Many new games can be installed / emulated.
  • Install2001 uses almost a half less memory, which especially enhances compatibility.
  • Both interfaces were completely made over and now are much more user-friendly.
  • There are more settings possible.
  • CD-ROM support was enhanced substantially.
  • The build-in emulator now supports more CD32 specific stuff.
Moreover of course there are many other enhancements as well as bugfixes done. The CD32 Games Install Kit v4.0 is exclusively available on the 'The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition' CD-ROM, which can be ordered from me.

Fire & Ice - Now Legal and Free at AMI Sector One
AMI Sector One has the following interesting news:
First of all the company 'Jester Interactive' which owns the copyrights of many older Amiga games, has granted us permission to post many of the games from the cult company 'Graftgold' for free download on our site: The first free game that is available is 'Fire & Ice' which should ring a bell to every Amiga-Fan.

Furthermore more commercial games and PD classics like 'Magic Forest 2', 'Seek & Destroy', 'Mayhem', and many more have been made available. The first version of the new 'Amiga Applications Compendium' has been put online. This allows the user to search for more than 300 Amiga applications, companies and developers.

Nostalgic disk magazines and cheat disks put a nice finish to this year's first update.

Heise: DivX Successor "OpenDivX" goes Open Source

OpenDivX is only one step on the way to realize greater goals: a versatile video codec - named "DivX Deux" by the programmers - offering high quality and being free available at the same time »

AROS-ML


AROS News
  • Since child windows seem to be patented, Stefan Berger has removed the support for them again. :-( If someone knows whether this technology can be used freely, we'd like to know :-)
  • Georg Steger has written an ASL Font Requester
  • Johan Alfredsson has implemented and improved C:Run, C:NewShell, C:List, C:Dir, DisplayBeep() and some more.
  • Adam Chodorowski has improved our Workbench and began to port a TCP/IP stack to AROS (ping compiles but there is no code for the stack, yet).
  • Michael Schulz has begun to work on a new AROS i386/Native core which can load the large AROS kernel. AROS needs GRUB to boot, now.
  • Flavio Stanchina has improved lots of header and build files.

Heise: Linux 2.4 with File-System ReiserFS
«The Linux-kernel v2.4.0 has just been finished at last, and development already goes on. The biggest change which will be integrated in the next kernel-version 2.4.1 would be including of the Journaling File System ReiserFS. Already at the beginning of October Linus Torvalds explained in an interview with c`t that he will not include ReiserFS in kernel 2.4.0, but as soon as possible in the 2.4. line. Obviously the time is right: kernel 2.4.1-pre7 contains ReiserFS.»
