Nailart: Boingball on fingernail
Our airbrusher Rolf Tingler has thought out a very special thing for the female Amiga-fans. Under the title link you can find under 'Airbrush-Motive' the probably only fingernail of the world with boingball :-). Of course there are many other nice motives if you consider how small is such a fingernail. You need a calm hand to brush the motives right on the nail. (ps) (Translation: dr)

MUI tutorial
Richard Kapp writes:
Because some users have contacted me because concerning my MUI-configuration and because I asked myself what I have used for it and how I have preferenced it I have decided to put a MUI tutorial online.

In this tutorial I introduce my personal configuration called 'CoolMUI'. Fonts, images and patterns are assumed which you can download from this site. But what I want to achieve with it is that the users may create their own MUI-designs. This tutorial is also meant as a creative motivation. But all those who enjoy the 'CoolMUI'-look of course can assume it.

In addition to it on the site there are useful hints to MUI, useful links and downloads (e.g. patterns which are related to the 'CoolMUI'-configuration and which you can only find on this site). You can also download the tutorial as a LZX-archive for offline reading. Have fun! (ps) (Translation: dr)

Currently the following updates can be looked at:

  • New packets of cult-games: Ambermoon, Siedler 3, Populous.
  • Interesting link for Powerplay-fans about the history of Powerplay.
Kultpower.de offers test reports, stories, user-charts and other specials for fans of old cult-game-magazines like Powerplay, ASM, Videogames and Amiga Joker Cover. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Matay: Prometheus-News
First Prometheus utility from an independent developer
PromInfo is a MUI combination of PrmScan and RomDump executables that can be found in the Prometheus software package. This small utility was written by Daniel Eriksson. You can find it in the Files section and at his homepage http://www-und.ida.liu.se/~daner964/. The author will appreciate any input from other Prometheus users.

Fixed Voodoo drivers, more cards supported!
In the Files section you can find fixed Picasso installation package (should stop the "no suitable screenmode" problem). The Picasso Team reports that it should support not only Voodoo3 2000/3000 cards but also Voodoo4 4500. The files are as follows:

Network driver beta 0.17 available
A RTL8029 based network cards driver for Prometheus is available from Files section. It is still beta, yet should be stable and useful. Any found bugs please report to krashan@matay.pl.

We would also like to inform our customers that Blittersoft (United Kingdom), Vesalia Computer (Germany) and Virtual Works (Italy) have joined our distributors network in Europe. From now on, you can buy Prometheus PCI bridge also from them.

Messenger: AmigAIM BETA Version 0.9432
Richard H. Poser has released the betaversion 0.9432 of AmigAIM. It is a client to connect wth the AmericaOnline Instant Messenger (AIM service). Changes (excerpt from the history):

AmigAIM 0.9432 Beta (21. August 2001)
  • When program quit, should just close all the windows without reopening the Startup window.
  • Modification to the Login system as I found that I was using the MOTD for doing some final login routines and was getting the MOTD twice (and having a screwed up login due to it - didn't stop from logging in though)
  • Adjusted Relogin/Reset systems to show Reconnected in the Activity window, as I had intended some time ago (Error was related to the MOTD bug above)
Richard H. Poser schreibt außerdem:
BTW: I'm starting back to school full time (started yesterday, actually), so I may be slow on updating/adding new functions from now on (As at least one person wants me off the computer so I will do more studying). (ps) (Translation: gf)

Back to the Roots: Amiga-News 232
"Back to the Roots" (http://www.back2roots.org) is far away from being dead. We are happy to announce that our traffic problems are fixed, as we now have a dedicated server in norway. A new problem which occured, ISDA the site terminators, tried to shut us down behind our back. We believe we fixed that issue, but unfortunately they don't have the culture to respond email communication they initiated themselves, so we decided to update and not let you all wait for them further. Read more about their attack on our news page.

Two new companies are supporting our project. From Soft Enterprises we can offer you the addictive puzzle games "Brain Artifice" and "Cube-X". Nightmare Productions are the creators of the rpg game "Antares". Other new games are: The entire "Premier Manager" series, Venus the flytrap, Switchblade 2, Colossus Bridge X, Alien Syndrome and more.

60 new scene demos from groups like Fairlight, Haujobb, Scoopex, Ambrosia, Cocoon or The Black Lotus have been added, while 150 new brilliant scene and game pictures were included to our pics-archive.

We're pleased to announce, that the famous games musician Andrew Barnabas has agreed to make his classic tunes (e.g. SWIV or Double Dragon III) available in our music section. And there are over 100 other new tunes from various composers ready for download. And last but not least we'd like to notify you about two new reviews of Melcom's great Audio CDs.

Respects from yours

Back to the Roots Team

Coyote Flux moves to Paris
Since early July 2001 we have moved to Paris to live and do some classified (Amiga) projects. This doesn't mean that our previous projects are discontinued, but like expected these projects are slightly delayed. PPC680x0 2.0 is reaching the final state of development, with several big improvements and bug-fixes in the Floating Point engine and all the additional features from the PPC680x0 page.

The 3D engine is our main focus at the moment, developed to be a games engine as well as professional photogrammetry/mapper software. More information on the 'Mapper' (which is finished) will be released soon as well as some screenshots. Little note about the speed: Both the 68060 (80-bits FPU) and PPC604 (64-bits FPU) versions are written in optimized assembly language and the 604/233MHz runs the same program 15 times faster than the 68060/60MHz which is quite an improvement. The 64-bits FPU 3D engine renders 3 million "real" depthcued polygons in less than 4 seconds using several realtime correction filters.

We are working on an Amiga hardware project as well, although this is currently strictly confidential. Details will be released soon... :-) (ps) (Translation: sk)

Game: New move for H2
Some weeks ago I discovered a new move in H2. I think that this one is not very well known out there. It is a Wirnelattack using the bladecrook. Just run and beat (you allready know this) and press one of the side-step keys at the same time. This looks realy cool :)

P.S.: To enter the tubes in the swamp just go right and climb to the top of the liana. Turn right and jump onto the trees. Then walk to the end of the trees and use the bladecrook to jump in one of the tubes. (ps) (Translation: sk)

PS: If you think that Jan Erik Olausen is doing one hell of a job, with keeping you Amiga secure for viruses, then send him a little donation. I know that xvs.library and VirusExecutor is freeware, but Jan has done one hell of a job in the last 6 month, to add new virus recog. in VirusExecutor and now with xvs.library.

Virus Help Denmark: VirusExecutor V2.20
A new update of VirusdExecutor has been released today.

Here is some info about the update:

Name : VirusExecutor v2.20
Archive name : VirusExecutor.lha
Archive size : 281.228 bytes
Release date : 20 August 2001
Programmer : Jan Erik Olausen
Requires : xvs.library (included), xfdmaster.library, reqtools.library, xadmaster.library

Changes since last version

2.20
  • VE doesn't need the VirusExecutor: assign anymore, so you can delete some lines in s:user-startup. IMPORTANT! All files that comes with VE must be in the same directory where the main program are located! (Not libraries and catalogs).
  • Recoded 'View patch memory'... It's quite similar to the memory monitor in VirusZ.
  • Thanks to Harry, VE do get the right opcodes when checking for patched functions.
  • Added decoding of 4 shell-scripts. The DKG-Blum and Jode Capullos virus was hiding in such scripts.
  • Fixed some 'out of address' bugs while checking memory.
  • Added AHI device channel 0 right.
  • Fixed small bug in the vector check window, that could cause strange characters to be displayed.
  • Fixed bug when removing a deleted file from the watch list.
  • Added close gadget to the prefs window.
  • Added 'Fast file checking' to the prefs window. Activating this flag will disable all text output, memory checking and some error messages during file checking...
  • When the 'Skip encrypted files'-flag are set, encrypted arhives are also skipped.
  • Added LVO names to device functions.
  • Fixed text out of range bug when viewing memory.
  • Fixed Enforcer hit in 'View KickMemPtr/KickMemPtr'.
  • When VE is infected with a virus it says it is modified and quits. Stupid, cause when a virus is around, VE should not quit! Fixed.
  • Added powerpc.library recog to 'Soft Int'
  • Added COP to memory recog.


Thanks to Harry Sintonen and Joerg Riemer for reporting bugs/hits and for all suggestions and help...
