AmigaOS-Game: BoulderDäsh RTX V5.12 - Rockford is back!
BoulderDäsh is an Amiga conversion of the good old BoulderDash on the C64. With now more than 10000 (ten thousand) levels in more than 400 game files should BoulderDäsh offer a long term gaming fun. If this is not enough for people they can create own levels and games with the level editor.

Compared to the version v5.11 supports v5.12 now also both C64 #?.GAM formats. Next to some small improvements contains this version approximately 5000 additional levels. The new version of BoulderDäsh RTX has already been uploaded and should appear on Aminet in the next days.

Catweasel: New multidisk.device (Update)
The new multidisk.device for Amiga OS (version 2.0 and up) and MorphOS now recognizes the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper in a PCI-slot of an Amiga, Amithlon or Pegasos. With this, individual Computers is the first to deliver a working floppy-driver for the Pegasos, which brings the aspiring system one step closer to the big role model "Amiga".

Burning CDs to transfer small amounts of data is no longer necessary, now you can use floppy disks of all common disk formats like Amiga 880K, Amiga 1760K, PC720K, PC1440K and many more.

The device is a public beta version, and it uses OpenPCI to recognize and activate the board. Unfortunately, neither the authors of OpenPCI, nor we could get hold of developer information about the Mediator PCI board, so this will not be supported until further notice.

Download: mdisk363.lha (16KBytes)

The homepage of the author of OpenPCI is located at http://www.chez.com/titan/.

Update 12.04.2003 from Jens Schönfeld:
Our initial news item claimed that we're the first to deliver a working floppy driver for the Pegasos. There is one more solution by a third party, but that will only allow you to access 720K and 1440K disks. (nba)

Kicko (ANF)


Music: Access Virus MIDI commands for tracks&fields 0.6
Hopefully the commands are now complete. Instead like last version using values lower than 127 i now made them to send only values that are described in the manual. So now it wont confuse virus and are more safe and compatible. But something says me.... there will be another more complete package later.

I hope there is someone that has Virus and use this commands. However if there is other midiprogram makers that wants me to do versions for their midipackage. Sure i could do it. Just ask. (ps) (Translation: dr)
