`16.Jul.2024` (ANF)	Demoscene: TRISTAR + TSA and DevLab-TSA makerspace archive has been launched The members of the former demoscene group ‘TRISTAR’ have put an archive online that contains extensive material from the period 1987 to 2012, including demos (for C64, PC and Amiga), music and graphics documenting the creative history of the group. Also of historical interest are the collections of photos and videos of scene parties and reports as well as scroll texts from Tristar productions. Those interested can also find the productions of the following art group The Solaris Agency (T.S.A) under this link. In addition, content from the joint makerspace ‘DevLab T.S.A’ is now available. This offers a platform for creative minds to realise their projects in a collaborative environment. Since 2021, the makerspace has been open to interested visitors on certain days to provide an insight into the ongoing projects and working methods. Further information and visiting times can be found on the subsite of DevLab T.S.A.. (nba) [News message: 16. Jul. 2024, 00:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`10.Jul.2024`	Test: Audio playback on the AmigaOne A1222 Plus Due to its incompatible FPU, the use of AmigaOS 4 on the AmigaOne A1222 Plus is subject to restrictions, which also affect popular audio playback programs such as AmigaAMP. 'Ktadd' has tested a few of them at the title link. AmigaAMP requires up to 80 % of the processor power due to frequent calls of the FPU emulation. The test report lists setting changes that enable the use of this program with an operable user interface, albeit exclusively. TuneNet manages MP3 files - apparently the only format tested by Ktadd - with a processor load of eight to 32 %; with Ogg Vorbis files, however, Eldee 'Eliyahu' Stephens comments that CPU usage will jump and one ends up with the same responsiveness issue as well. DAPlayer, on the other hand, is at eight to ten percent for MP3 files, while SongPlayer is only 5 % and the Hollywood program RNOTunes performs best in this regard with 3 %. Finally, the blog article compares the general strengths and weaknesses of the programs mentioned, on the basis of which there is no generally valid recommendation as to which of them should be used on the A1222 Plus.
