`15.Nov.2001` Jens Schönfeld (ANF)	Amiga Forever now available from individual Computers The Amiga emulation package Amiga Forever is now available as a bundle with the Catweasel ISA controller. Amiga Forever turns your PC into an Amiga. The package which is available since 1997, includes a license of all Amiga-patents, trademarks and copyrights that are necessary for an emulation. Therefore, an official Amiga Notebook "Powered by Amiga" is available since 1997. Amiga Forever makes all the hardware of the base system also available on the Amiga side: Virtual memory, Fast- and GBit Ethernet, sound- and graphics boards as well as DVD and USB. Further information about Amiga Forever can be found on the publisher's website http://www.cloanto.com/. Individual Computers will continue to support both Amiga Forever and its developers. There will be no support for the QNX version of Amiga OS XL for the Catweasel ISA in the near future, whereas for Amithlon we will provide a software that uses the ISA Catweasel just like a real Amiga Catweasel. Amiga Forever developers are even going a step further, they use the Catweasel to emulate the internal Amiga diskdrive. (ps) [News message: 15. Nov. 2001, 02:00] [Comments: 1 - 15.

`14.Nov.2001` AmiDog	Emulation: Playstation emulator FPSE 0.09, Amiga Revision 2 Mathias Roslund has released a new version of the Playstation emulator FPSE. It is the second Amiga-version which is based on version 0.09. You need a Playstation Bios-rom to emulate. There are some screenshots to the Amiga-version. It follows the original message: A new release with some bugfixes and added features. Memory card support is fixed, and compiler (dynarec) and PSX Port support has been added. There is also a switch to use READ_CD for CD support. This was used by some of the FPSE/Amiga 0.08 revisions and might work better than CMD_READ with some CD-ROMs. Download: FPSE009R2.lha (ps) (Translation: dr) [News message: 14.

`13.Nov.2001` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: PuzzleBOBs In cooperation with Emanuele Cesaroni, Nexus Development, the Amiga Arena and Fun Tim World present the game PuzzleBOBS, which is about a "Bust'n Move" clone to be available on the "AMIGA 2001" show. From now on the demo version is available on http://www.funtime-world.de/puzzle.html, and on the support page of the Amiga Arena. About PuzzleBOBS The game was developed by the Italian software company Nexus Development which was founded by Emanuele Cesaroni. Worldwide distribution will be done by Fun Time World in cooperation with the Amiga Arena. Previews of "PuzzleBOBS" can be found in the current issue of the "Amiga Future" #33 (German Amiga Game print magazine), and in "No Cover" issue #88 (German Amiga disk magazine). Technical background and more: PuzzleBOBS is completely configuralbe: Screen mode (AGA / OCS / ECS / Picasso96 or CyberGraphX comaptible graphic boards). Bitplanes (up to 16 and 24bit screens). Playable in three languages (German, Itatlian, English). Playable from HD, full or partial installation (min. 14 MB). Written in 100% assembler. Level and sound import. Backgrounds, bubbles, object speed, music and sound effects, explosion style, and masses of other little things, as well, can be configured to match your own personal desire. The game was programmed to allow different bubbles to have different characteristics. There are bubbles that bounce back form walls, which of course simplifies severity. The game runs in full multitasking on it's own screen or in a window on the Workbench. When the game's window becomes inactive the game automatically turns to sleep mode, which is a special feature to let you continue your work on the Workbench. In sleep mode even every audio channel and colour palette get's released - pure culture multitasking. Further and detailed informaiton can be found in the demo version's guide.
