E3B and Hyperion: ALGOR / ROMulus flash ROM supported by AmigaOS 4
E3B and Hyperion are pleased to be able to announce the deep cooperation of both companies regarding the ALGOR and ROMulus. The for the time being by Hyperion developed AmigaOS 4.0 will be able to use the flash ROMs available on the ALGOR and ROMULUS without any problem.

Read the complete German press release on the E3B news site or an also available English version.

The ALGOR is a Zorro II based USB controller that supports USB 1.1 and 2.0 (no highspeed mode) and has 512kB flash ROM integrated on the controller card.
The widely spread HIGHWAY USB controller can be upgraded via ROMulus with flash ROMs.

Users of the AmigaOS 4.x can keep a compressed Kickstart 4.0 in the flash ROM and significiantly shorten the boot time this way. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Golem: Temporary injunction against SCO
The Linux specialist univention from Bremen (Germany) has obtained a temporary injunction at the Landgericht Bremen against the SCO Group GmbH. This injunction forbids SCO to claim "that Linux operating systems contain illegally gained intellectual property of SCO Unix and/or that end users who use Linux can be made liable for the involved violation of copyrights". If acting against this an infringement payment up to 250,000 Euro is possible. This injunction is only valid for the German SCO Group GmbH not world wide.

Emulator: A/NES CGFX version 1.33 in the works
Version 1.33 of the Nintendo Entertainment System emulator A/NES CGFX for Amiga computers with graphics cards is being worked on. Here the original message:

"Started to work on v1.33. Finally managed to get rid of the annoying mousepointer on the screen while running the ROMs. For now, that's really the major new feature of v1.33. :) I'll try to implement some more nice stuff however.
By the way, I even tried to assemble the old A/NES AGA code some days ago, if you remember it? :) I can't get it to run properly however, dunno if it's because I have a different computer today compared to when I last compiled those sources. Time will tell if I manage to get it running someday... :p
And as usual, feel free to report comments about A/NES CGFX (ideas, bugreports etc) in the forum or by e-mail." (ps) (Translation: wk)

Game: 'Die Kleine Gilde' - further names wanted
Steffen Nitz wrotes:
I need your ideas again. This time I am looking for positive messages of the workers like:
  • Yes, Sir!
  • As you like it!
  • Finally good work!
  • Will be done, Sir!
  • Your wish is my order!
and I am looking for negative messages like:
  • Not already again!
  • Is there not somebody else who can do this?
  • I am fed up with this!
  • No, I will not do this!
This one who will send me the most good sentences will get a keyfile of the Gilde or of SN-Münzarchiv as well as an entry in the credits.

The game principle
This game is a round based economy simulation which takes place in the Middle Ages (1400 until 1600). Furthermore it is also a realtime strategy game with elements of role games and it is a simulation of the life. (ps) (Translation: dr)

USB Stack: Poseidon Update V2.1
There's a new update of the Poseidon USB Stack. It consists mainly of improvements and bugfixes of the Mass Storage Class, for Highway as well as Subway drivers. Through this a whole lot more pieces of equipment should run, which had formerly balked.

Newly come is a program for USB-Radios from D-Link, respectively GemTek. One can purchase these very cheaply on eBay, because it was put together in a friendly manner it was just a few hours work to create the drivers.

A bit more was invested in the new program for the management of my MP3 Player (Valencia MPX), which was available for purchase at Lidl in December 2002. This (and many similarly built units) are unfortunately not MSD equipment. With the Uproar tool this MP3 player may nonetheless be conveniently used. In case anyone else has such a gadget, I'd be very appreciative to hear some feedback.

This time there are two separate archives, for classic Amiga as well as MorphOS systems -- this allows simple installation.

That's just an intro, further details may be found in the ReadMe. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiforce: Snapshots of Aquarium and Port Royal
Telemar Rosenberger, known to many for his software "AmHuhn," has authored a screen saver named "Aquarium" and a game named "Port Royal," with the help of the multimedia authoring system Hollywood. Under the title link you'll find the first screenshots for both of these programs. The programs will be published as soon as the announced Hollywood Version 1.5 is out.

The deal with Aquarium is that it's a screen saver with images of swimming fish, already known from other platforms. Now AmigaOS too gets the enjoyment of this pleasing screen saver.

Port Royal is a new combat game, which is about ships firing cannons. With this one may, for example, calculate wind direction in directing a strike, and naturally the enemy ships shoot back. (ps) (Translation: dm)
