New tool to create VideoCDs Because of my suggestion here in the forum several programmers have ported a GNU project named VCDImager to the Amiga. This program can create a VideoCD image file in the bin/cue format from a MPEG system file. Supported are VCD1.1, VCD2.0, SuperVCD and even CDI. This image file can subsequently be burned with BurnIT or MakeCD from version 3.2d6+, provided you're owning a DAO capable version. The program exists in two different versions (68k and WarpOS). For the time being it is on the Aminet among the new uploads and can later be found in gfx/conv. Download: vcdimager.lha (311 K) (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 30.

Game development: in-game graphics for Schlachtfeld Finally there are first graphics shown that will be used for the units on the playfield of the future version of Schlachtfeld. The units "Chap", "David" and "Zyklop" can be found among these. First we restrict ourselves to a simple topdown view as the representation of the objects is done much easier this way. Later versions will make use of 3d views. Please enter your criticism in the forum under "Einheitendesign" - so we know what we should improve. Thank you! (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 30.

Eternity: PC with preinstalled UAE with JIT For some time, Eternity has offered the EternityOne, which is a PC with AMD Athlon processor which has the Amiga emulator UAE preinstalled. From now on, the PC is shipped with only 1.2 GHz and a DVD-ROM. Further, WinUAE with JIT is installed automatically which results in two to four times faster speed than an Amiga with 060 processor. With the DVD-ROM and the very fast processor, you can for example watch DVD movies fullscreen on this computer. (ps) (Translation: rh) [News message: 29.

Merlancia: Open letter to the Amiga Community Merlancia Press Release #MPR29062K1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 29th June 2001 Merlancia Industries 3516A West Cactus Road Phoenix, AZ 85029 USA 1-877-53-AMIGA | ++1 602-789-0956 http://www.merlancia.com | merlancia@merlancia.com Merlancia Open letter to the Amiga Community by Ryan E. A. Czerwinski, CEO of Merlancia Industries Greetings to all. We are happy that the Amiga community is taking a deep and serious interest in our products and what we are working on in the background! We will be releasing some more critical information to answer your questions soon, however, we are currently gagged until some other contracts are completed. I assure you all that welcomed good news is ahead...in fact, look forward to a feature article about us in an upcoming issue of Amiga Active Magazine, where we hope to answer many of your questions. We are currently looking for those that are interested in developing for our system(s). (As the Tsunami will only be the *first* system we are releasing.) To answer some common questions that have been asked: Re bPlan: Yes, we are working with bPlan on the Tsunami design. The details of this partnership are due out soon. Let it be said that we are designing hardware, not just sitting idle and waiting for others to do our work for us. We have very talented people on staff, both software and hardware (not to mention press relations and marketing) and we are spending our $$$ wisely. Release dates: The Tsunami system is expected to be released in it's final consumer form in November to December 2001. We are working very hard to meet this deadline, though we cannot foresee any problems that may arise. The Pilot release will most likely be after the AmiWest conference, not at as we had hoped, as we are currently having a slight fault in the gfx display; We will have a demonstration system at the show. We plan to have a press conference as well as other 'events' at AmiWest, and we hope that there is a large amount of Amigans that think it wise to attend. ;) We need your talents!: We are looking for both software and hardware developers. A platform like this cannot succeed without a full range of software to run on it. Sure, the current software will run on our system, but we need a full library of up-to-date software, both multimedia and business applications, to be able to achieve our place in the market. We have already received orders for developer systems from some very impressive firms and individuals. We hope to grab up as much talent as possible, as it makes sense to have PowerPC software for new PowerPC hardware. We are looking for both the absurdly simple (tiny games or utilities) to the fairly complex (graphics packages, office suites) software titles. An option will be available to have your software included with each unit sold, or special unit packages. AmigaOS 4/5: We are unfortunately unable to release details on this currently, however, we hope to do so shortly; most likely at the AmiWest conference. Let it be said currently that our system both meets and exceeds the Zico specification, as do all of our 'in development' systems. Our market: We are designing our Torro systems to be a natural complete system solution upgrade path for current Amiga users (see examples of how/why below) but we are not limiting our products to the current Amiga market or community. We anticipate high sales volumes to the consumer and industrial multimedia markets; Our systems are designed to be as CHRP resembling as possible. We are pitting them against the big names like Apple and SGI. Our partnership with Blittersoft was only the first step in this process - Working together on the iFusion project will allow us to migrate iFusion to our systems easily, allowing full Macintosh compatibility on our products, both under AmigaOS and stand-alone (later). We are also planning on offering other OS solutions as separate packages including QNX, Linux, Solaris, BeOS (hopefully), and others. We cannot provide MacOS ourselves, but the user will have the option of installing it, and we will also be working on an x86 emulator so that if the user desires he/she can use x86 operating systems including UNiX, Linux-x86, BeOs-x86, and (gasp!) even MS Windows (though we won't support it directly). We are also working on a firmware OS (think what Exec is to Amiga) that allows not only selection of startup devices via an 'early startup' screen, but also setting up multiple machine states that can be launched with ease and switched between instantly. (Thus allowing multiple OSs to be run at once.) This may not be included with the first launch, but an updater will be available to patch the firmware, which is flash updateable. Speaking of which, your machine state setting will be able to be saved, as well as your other setting, including screen mode and startup volume (individual to each machine state), thus allowing you to start up with those options each time you reboot. Why is it a natural upgrade path?: Unlike other machines promised in the past, and other projects in the works, we are working on something that will be completely natural to the Amiga user of today. Features like the ability to read and write to floppy discs and other media in native Amiga formats (880k and 1760k on floppy discs) as well as simple things like the layout of the keyboard and the look and feel of the design of the system all around all total up to Amiga-like. We are trying to make a product that is impressive from the inside and out, not just another ëboxí. Not to say that all offerings that are currently being made are bad. in fact, I look forward to the EyeTech AmigaOne. I know I will buy one personally, and our retail division will carry them. (We have the worldís largest stock of A1200 NTSC systems; other dealers are now ordering them from us.) The future and beyond: What lies in store for us, the Amiga community? I canít say for sure, but I feel that the future is brighter than ever; due both to the commitment from Amiga ( a lively bunch of bright and intelligent individuals) as well as out commitment to you, the Amiga community. As always, you come first in our thinking and our product design. This product is designed for you; We wouldnít have bothered if it wasnít. As always, best wishes to everyone. Thank you for being a customer, current, or future. Cheers, Ryan E. A. Czerwinski CEO - Merlancia Industries (ps) [News message: 29.

Merlancia announces strategic alliance with 'individual Computers' Here the original press release by Merlancia on the strategic alliance with Individual Computers: Merlancia - Press Release #MMC29062K1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 29th June 2001 Merlancia Industries 3516A West Cactus Road Phoenix, AZ 85029 USA 1-877-53-AMIGA | ++1 602-789-0956 http://www.merlancia.com | merlancia@merlancia.com -- individual Computers -Jens Schönfeld http://www.jschoenfeld.de | jens@jschoenfeld.de Merlancia Industries' Announces Startegic Alliance with 'individual Computers Merlancia Industries is pleased to announce a strategic relationship with 'individual Computers'; to design a controller device that will be utilised on our Torro series systems. The device, a custom chip controller, named 'CLeo' will be available as an add-on kit for the Pilot release systems (to be included with all systems shipping after it's release, and to be sent to all developer systems sold before-hand). The 'CLeo' custom device is based on technology first implemented in individual Computers' 'CatWeasel' disc controller, and will allow the reading and writing of Amiga native disc formats (880k and 1760k) on our Tsunami system as well as future directives. Other formats will be supported as well including PC-DOS, and Macintosh-HFS. We expect to have a prototype of this design at AmiWest Conference (28th to 29th July 2001- Sacramento, CA; USA) as well as our prototype Pilot system. (ps) [News message: 29.
