`02.Jul.2009`	Cloanto: Emulator package Amiga Forever 2009 Press release July 2, 2009 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2009, the latest version of the award-winning Amiga preservation, emulation and support suite for Windows and other platforms (Screenshot). Amiga Forever 2009 is the most refined update ever released in the Amiga Forever series. It again sets new references in usability while more than doubling the featured content and providing easier access to a universe of free downloads. Like its sister product C64 Forever, Amiga Forever 2009 introduces a synergistic combination of the RP2 retrogaming file format (Screenshot, amiga-news.de reported), RetroPlatform Library to recognize content, and RP2 Manager (Screenshot) to export and import to and from other file formats. The 2009 version includes hundreds of enhancements and was tested to comply with "Compatible with Windows 7" requirements. New features include seamless, one-click integration of the AmiKit and AmigaSYS add-ons and new system ROMs (e.g. the 0.7 Kickstart required to run the software used by Andy Warhol's famous 1985 Launch of Amiga demo). The Plus Edition includes more than 100 games and a selection from the most beautiful demoscene productions ever created. Tens of thousands of games, as well as other software ranging from the oldest to the latest Amiga releases are only a mouse click apart, and can run on powerful PCs and inexpensive netbooks alike. When both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever are installed, the players share data and software modules with each other, uniformly playing back RP2 games of both 8-bit and 32-bit platforms. The same familiar user interface and settings are also applied to saved states, disk write undo, dual-monitor setups and other advanced functionality. "The way it brings back memories is amazing, and it feels as if Commodore and Amiga were united again," said Michael C. Battilana of Cloanto. Dave Haynie, a long-time user of Amiga Forever and former Commodore International chief engineer on high end and advanced projects, added: "The past IS the future... Amiga Forever is the single best way to run AmigaOS today. Your PC is the fastest Amiga that will ever exist, and Cloanto does a wonderful job of packing the emulation technology, every AmigaOS ROM and Workbench version (most of which I've long since lost to data rot on my floppy collection), games, utilities, Web tools, graphics programs, most anything you would need, all in one place." Amiga Forever 2009 is available now in three editions: Value Edition (downloadable installer for Windows systems) Plus Edition (downloadable CD ISO image with additional Windows and platform-neutral content) Premium Edition (physical Plus Edition CD and two DVDs (Photo), plus instant download of the installer for Windows) The Plus Edition includes the KX Light boot environment with hard disk installation and online updates. The Premium Edition additionally contains more than five hours of videos. (snx) [News message: 02. Jul. 2009, 20:41] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
