DigiBoosterPro 3: Public betatesting
Press release After a long period of closed testing the DigiBooster 3 music tracker enters the public beta stage. The main goal of public betatesting is to check program core stability and performance on different operating systems and hardware configurations.

- New player engine, portable and AHI independent
- Backwards compatible with DigiBoosterPro 2.x (the same module format)

Metacompiler: PortablE r6
Christopher Handley's Metacompiler PortablE translates the programming language E to other languages. Changes:
- It now comes with some nice modules for graphics, sound, music & GUIs. These require no knowledge of AmigaOS programming, and were inspired by the simplicity of BASIC languages like AMOS.
- It comes with full documentation for all of these modules, along with smaller & bigger examples. The preview release does not include these examples, but instead I will be show-casing one of these examples every few days. Keep an eye on the new official PortablE forum for them!
- The documentation has been revamped to be more beginner friendly, and the PortablE installer has been made easier to use. If you still get stuck, then let me know, and I will see what I can do.
- In addition to that, I have made available a large collection of my own useful modules (in the CSH folder), which you can use if you want. These are not properly documented yet, but I will look at documenting them where there is interest.
- There are also various other improvements, and a lot of bug fixes
- As usual it supports Amiga OS4, OS3, AROS, MorphOS & Windows. However (1) the new graphics module does not yet work on Amiga OS3, (2) the new modules do not yet work on Windows, and (3) MorphOS support is still experimental.

ACube Systems: Sam460ex with AmigaOS 4.1 available
According to ACube Systems under the title link, the PowerPC mainboard Sam460ex with installation-CD for AmigaOS 4.1 Update 2 is now available. The Sam460ex has 1,15 GHz and among others a PCI-Express-slot, Gigabit-Ethernet and 7 USB-ports.
The developer points out that the included AmigaOS-4.1 is still a kind of beta software. The forthcoming update 3 of the operating system can be downloaded for free.
Currently an audio driver is missing which will be available on OS4Depot. Additionally the driver for the SATA-port is only available for test purposes and have to be manually mounted. Instead it is recommended to use a PCI-board (Silicon Image 3512) or an USB-SATA-PCI board with Silicon-Image-Chip.
Currently the RadeonHD driver supports the following chipsets with full 2D-hardware-acceleration and DDC:
- R500 (with Compositing support) - Radeon X1550, X1650, X1950 and others
- R600 - Radeon HD 2400, HD 3450, HD 3650 and others
- R700 - Radeon HD 4350, HD 4650

Without a doubt, Hollywood Designer 3.0 is the definitive multimedia solution for all Amiga compatible platforms, but as a picture is worth a thousand words, we have made some screenshots of Hollywood Designer 3.0 running on MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 for you to see here.
Hollywood Designer 3.0 is a very stable and mature multimedia authoring system. We would like to emphasize that it is not only suited for personal use, but also for professional commercial customers. Ferrule Media, for instance, have created an info channel containing over 700 unique slides in a single project with Hollywood Designer. Hollywood Designer was designed to handle these huge projects efficiently so that they can run 24 hours a day and 7 days a week without any visible memory fragmentation!
Hollywood Designer 3.0 comes on a CD-ROM that contains versions for all supported platforms: There are native versions of the program for AmigaOS3 (m68k), WarpOS (ppc), MorphOS (ppc), and AmigaOS4 (ppc). A download version is also offered. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own a previous version of Hollywood Designer, you can buy a discounted upgrade version.
Please note that Hollywood Designer 3.0 runs on top of the Multimedia Application Layer Hollywood 4.7. Thus, Hollywood 4.7 is strictly required for Hollywood Designer 3.0. Both programs are available in a special bundle which is the ultimate package for every power Amiga user who wants to see what his system can do with Hollywood 4.7 & Hollywood Designer 3.0.
Power up your Amiga system with Hollywood 4.7 & Hollywood Designer 3.0 and order now! (snx)

Update of Amiga Games List
David Brunet has added new Amiga games to his database. The "Amiga Games List" now includes 11476 entries.
Two additional marks in the new database inform if the games either run under a ColdFire-processor (column "ColdF") or under AROS-PPC (column "AROS-PPC") - but both categories only include one entry so far. Besides, the database knows now the programming language Python.
