Nintendo-Emulator A/NES PRO 1.00
For faster Amiga systems (from a 50-MHz-68060 processor on) Morgan Johansson has published his Nintendo emulator called A/NES Professional. Changes:
- Completely rewritten graphicsengine. Alot more accurate and nice looking, but also slower:
- Graphics are now handled as chunky-data instead of planar. More accurate at cost of performance
- Sprite priorites implemented (sprites can appear behind background)
- CHR-bank swapping is now done entirely by using pointers instead of moving data. Many thousand percent faster than previous gfxengine
- Screen-mirroring is now handled correctly and uses pointers instead of moving data (=alot faster). Games like Metroid and Zelda2 now work properly
- Now uses C2P (Chunky2Planar) code by Mikael Kalms. Both 68060 and 68030 optimized versions included
- Implemented "frameskip" option in preferences-section
- ROMs can now be started from Shell, using "anes [romname.nes]"
- CPU-core bugfixes
- Partial one-screen mirroring implemented (RC Pro Am)
- Mapper 87 implemented

Looking for beta testers for AROS-distribution "Broadway"
Pascal Papara (AresOne) is looking for beta testers for a new AROS-distribution called "Broadway" which will be supposed to have the following features:
- slim distribution
- optimized installation (installs faster than a nightly)
- online update (check and update apps or core-parts if needed)
- based on latest nightly - this resolves a problem with the ArtEffect CD, so it will be included soon again to the AresOne package
- Amistart replacement called starter (We need a name! Please give suggestions!); The starter is just a button in ther right bottom corner, if you click it will open to the left. This behaviour is configurable! The Starter is done by Allanon.
- Preconfigured for imica and AresOne

Press release Airsoft Softwair is proud to annouce the immediate availability of Hollywood 4.7. Hollywood 4.7 is another quality release by Airsoft Softwair and contains some cool new features as well as bug fixes and fulfillments of some user wishes.
The biggest new feature in Hollywood 4.7 is a completely platform independent font backend (which means that TrueType fonts now look exactly, pixel-perfectly the same on every system) as well as support for Unicode UTF-8 based text rendering. But there are other cool new features like support for embedded icons in Windows and Mac OS X executables.
Here is a list of changes in Hollywood 4.7:
- Completely platform independent font backend
- Support for UTF-8 based text rendering (Unicode)
- Icons can be compiled into Windows and Mac OS X executables
- Extended layer functionality
- New inbuilt system fonts (sans, monospace, serif)
- Support for multiple joysticks also on Win32 and Mac OS X
- New TextureScroll example
- Various other new features and bug fixes
Although a lot of work went into this update, Airsoft Softwair decided to make Hollywood 4.7 available free of charge as a special gift for our loyal customers. The 4.7 update is available as a direct download (30 megabytes) in both Amiga and Windows versions for all customers of Hollywood 4.5. Please visit the Hollywood product page for the download link of this freegrade.
If you do not own Hollywood yet, you can place your order on the Airsoft Softwair homepage at the title link. (snx)

AROS: Remote Desktop Client ported
The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allos you to access applications over the network which are launched on a Windows-Terminal-Server. After versions for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS under the title link the AROS version is available which was ported by Yannick Erb. So far the sound redirection does not work.
This version is based on the rdesktop-version 1.6.0 and has an user-interface. Besides, it is not a demo version. But you can donate some money to encourage the developers publishing further updates.

ebay-auction: Unknown early Amiga system
At ebay.com currently an up to now unknown "Commodore Amiga Development System" is being offered. Probably it is a prototype which was sent to the developers before the offcial introduction to the market. On the ROMs the (so far unknown) version number 24.60 can be read.
Without reference to this ebay-article, David Erhart has published some pictures which show a similar system. According to Erhart this computer was used for developing Amiga software together with a Sage IV-computer.
