`01.Dec.2007` Ralf Steines (ANF)	Back to the Roots V2.41 - Patch Level 3 Fred Fish's final trip Today, Saturday, December 1, 2007 the family and close friends of Fred Fish will meet in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to give Fred a last "farewell". At 12:00 noon PST (20:00 GMT) Fred's wife Michelle will spread Fred's ashes in the one place he really loved, the sea. If you have a minute, and you liked his work, send him a farewell too - Ashes to ashes, Fish to fish. Fred Fish Memorial Archive Since our last update we received quite some missing material, like Fresh Fish Vol.1 (Rev.1), Fresh Fish Vol.2 and Gold Fish Vol.3 (single CD version), but we still search missing CDs. We also received a license from Marty Flickinger who compiled the "Fish'n'More" for Xetec Inc. CDs to put them online. Thanks Marty! We start with Fish'n'More Vol.3, and still search for people who own Vol.1 and Vol.2, plus cover scans of Vol.3. Atari CD-ROM archive Due to the enormous output from the Atari scene we have started another little side project listing Atari related material we have online here. Since a while we host two CD series from Lotek Style aka MC Laser of TSCC, the Atari mods and music collection "Fading Twilight" which we just added 4 new CDs, and the demo and scene material collection "No Fragments" which even got extended by 6 further CDs. Thanks Lotek Style! Spanish Scene Collections Another scene with an enourmous output these days is the spanish scene, so we dedicated it another side project. Besides updating our mirror of the modulez.org spanish mod scene ftp, we also added the third CD of the spanish modules compilations Modplanet now. Finally we added the Spanish Scene compilations by Dargo^LLFB spanning 5CD and te first Avalon CD by Vago^Avalon Software, all with spanish scene output. Big thanks go to Fermix^LLFB for this huge upload! Initial Music This in a nice new hosted project by the danish scene musician The Boss^6th Dimension, which is also planned and prepared since years. Here you can download game music from early Amiga games covered by our licenses, transcoded to the MP3 format. This is also a good example how a hosted site can benefit of this place and its licenses. So far BTTR had no boss, only team members. Now we have one - The Boss of 6th Dimension. ;-) (snx) [News message: 01. Dec. 2007, 07:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`20.Nov.2007` Creative Mobile Designz (ANF)	Handy: AmigaOS 4-Theme Under the title link today a a theme in AmigaOS 4-style was published for free download for Nokia S60-handys (3rd edition) and different Sony Ericsson models. Screenshots are available for all those who have not one of the mentioned handys. Amiga-icons were not used because the author has not got those icons in this size. If anybody can help him with those icons the theme could be reworked. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 20. Nov. 2007, 11:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`18.Nov.2007` Ralf Steines (ANF)	Back to the Roots V2.41 - Patch Level 2 Below, Ralf Steines summarizes the recent developments at Back to the Roots: Fred Fish Memorial Archive: Now two weeks have passed since we opened our tribute page to Fred Fish, which went a successfull burn-in-test for our new server: During the last 2 weeks our main server delivered 25.000 CD images, most of them Fred Fish CDs! The memorial archive grew to 3 times its initial size, thanks to the numerous people who contributed missing material! There's still quite some stuff missing, so please check your collections and consider contributing, especially the Frozen Fish and the Geek Gadget Snapshot CDs. Thanks! Geek Gadgets FTP Mirror: Since we mirrored ftp.ninemoons.com daily, to 26.Aug.2004 when it went down we have the latest copy of it online, which we consider the master site from now on. We will exctend it with any snapshots and improved versions we could get hold of to at least provide an up to date archive of this (currently?) sleeping project. We will happily give anyone interested to continue and maintain it full control over it. Geek Gadgets Reloaded: Since the FTP is only a part of the project we digged out a copy of the Geek Gadgets master site, originally hosted at www.geekgadgets.org. We started reconstructing and updating the master site of it. The site got a handy subdomain and all missing package documents will be added with time. We call this preservation side project Geek Gadgets Reloaded and will happily handle control over to a new maintainer. Amigascne.org full mirror: We finally finished a years old plan to have a fullmirror of the huge amigascne.org archive online on our FTP. Due to storage space limits we only had a partial mirror, which we fixed now, so we now have an official full mirror. Big thanks go to Cygnus^Amigascne for being such an easy guy. Enjoy the enormous collection of about 10GB of Amiga scene output. Even if you're used to browse huge archives you will surely get lost once you dive in there! Faces of Mars Archive: Another years old plan we already started long ago finally gets realised: An online version of the Faces of Mars disk series and FreeCDs offering all releases for download at no cost. This project is still work in process, but since most FreeCDs are already online, we decided to release it, so you may all help filling the gaps. We still have no FOM disk above #336, so please check your PD CDs for FOM disks 337-500+ to finish the collection. Thanks. Amidemos Master Site: While we were updating our FTP we stumbled across the FTP mirror of robotriot's amidemos.org project, a collection of Amiga demos transcoded to DIVX / AVI video format. We updated our mirror from the scene.org archive but noticed that quite some videos were missing. So we digged in backup copies until we recreated most of the collection, only Kah835gb by Madwizards and Raybong by Loveboat are missing. If you have any of these videos from amidemos collection then please upload it to our anon upload ftp so we can finish the new Amidemos Master Site. Thanks! FlatDisk Modules FTP: The Flatdisk Modules Archive (FDMA) by FlatRich of FlatDisk Softworks is a collection of over 5600 mods, collected in the years 1992-1999. We host this archive since a while, including per collection year ModRadio channels. We added it now to our FTP server too, offering you a convenient way for mass downloading it. Please enjoy, yours BTTR team! http://www.back2roots.org (snx) [News message: 18. Nov. 2007, 08:11] [Comments: 1 - 19. Nov. 2007, 02:14] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
