AmigaOS 4: Motocross with Xmoto (beta)
Xmoto is an SDL/GL-based arcade game that is slightly evocative of the 8-bit classic Kikstart (Screenshot). The AmigaOS 4 version still has problems with graphics card initialization, that's why another Warp3D title should be started first (and closed again, of course), before launching Xmoto, additionally, minor errors in the display are yet to be eliminated.

IRC-Log: ACK answers further questions from users
Adam Kowalczyk of ACK Software Controls has commented further questions to his announced PPC products in an IRC discussion. The main items in short:

The planned high end motherboard is preliminary called "Powervixxen TL" ("Thunder and Lightning"). The current specifications don't consider any onboard hardware, but the board should contain a PCIe-slot (16x), a PCI-slot with 66 Mhz as well as 4 PCI-slots with 33/66 Mhz.

The PCIe-slot is connected to a common PCI-Bus (66 Mhz) by means doesn't offer any speed advantage over PCI oder AGP, but it makes the use of actual graphics adapters possible. The integration of such a PCIe-slots requires graphics drivers available for AmigaOS 4.

The PCI-SLot with 66 Mhz is meant for a combined card (USB/SATA oder USB/PATA).

ACK Software Controls is privatly owned and occupies for employees. The current Amiga projects are additionally financed with the support of external investors. (cg) (Translation: ts)
