pegasosforum.de: Vote on bounty projects
After the adoption of a bounty system was decided on the Pegasos forum several weeks ago, they first collected ideas for various projects and now want to determine the five most popular bounties by means of a vote.

Information on the individual projects can be found in the so-called Bounty Bay. Every registered member of the Pegasos forum has three votes and can vote for one project in each case in three different votings. (1. choice, 2. choice, 3. choice). It is allowed to vote for the same project three times. After 21 days, the votings will end and the results will be evaluated.

The five bounties that receive the most votes in this voting will then be enabled first - that is, users can then donate money for these projects and developers can apply for a development commission. (cg) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Drum-Machine RockBEAT 3.0
James Carroll has published an update of his Drum-Machine RockBEAT. According to the author version 3.0 has still some bugs but has the following changes:
  • Added a function to display how much time was taken to Save projects as WAV files. This could be useful in benchmarking OS4 hardware
  • Added volume sliders and mute buttons for the tracks. These values are saved when you Save your projects too
  • Changed the graphics to be super skinny, so that the beat buttons fits on a 1024x768 screen. Scrolling still causes audio to skip, so 800x600 users will still suffer. Sorry
  • Changed my audio frames to use short's instead of unsigned long's. This should theoretically make my audio sound a lot better, but I can't tell if its made any difference
  • Did some bugfixing with my arrays. Data was being setup and written outside where it should have been, and was probably trashing memory

DiscreetFX: Monthly award
DiscreetFX has provided a monthly award of 100 US-Dollar for developers or users who foward the Amiga in the section Amiga, MorphOS, AROS or AmigaOS 4.

The first award has got Jan Zahurancik for his WinUAE distribution AmiKit. This is the official press release:

Chicago, Illinois, June 9th, 2008 - Amiga Seeding the Success Campaign from DiscreetFX

The Amiga computer represents a lot of firsts in the computer industry but it also represents many missed opportunities. Since the death of Commodore in 1994 the Amiga has descended into dark times. They say you learn most from your failures and not your successes and this is most certainly the case when it comes to Amiga. And yet some good things have happened as well.

The Amiga market has branched off into some healthy competition with the arrival of MorphOS, AROS & Amiga OS 4.0. The Amiga emulation scene is alive and well with Amiga Forever from Cloanto. And lets not forget the hard work of the developers of Minimig, Natami & CloneA. Amiga developers have transcended the need of one company controlling the destiny of Amiga and have forged ahead in interesting ways.

It is this Amiga spirit that DiscreetFX loves and we want to nurture. So starting today we will select one winner per month and give them $100 donation via paypal. No this is not a ton of money but it is a gesture that is meant to encourage positive feelings and development in the Amiga community of families. Each month if a developer or even user does something outstanding that pushes forward the Amiga, MorphOS, AROS or Amiga OS 4.0 brand we will send them this little reward. The first reward has already been sent in fact.

The winner is Jan Zahurancik's AmiKit. Jan has worked tirelessly and created a killer add on for WinUAE and the Amiga emulation scene. He is not alone and it takes many to change the world. But it is our sincere hope that the Amiga scene can grow one day again. One million users and 100,000 active developers would be just grand. Thanks again Jan Zahurancik for all your hard work and your the winner for June 2008. Who will July 2008's winner be? Feel free to participate in the process and let us know via e-mail who you think deserves to win in July. They can be MorphOS, Amiga OS, OS 4.0, AROS users or developers. That does not matter, what does matter is that they worked hard and pushed the community forward in a positive way.

Best regards
DiscreetFX Team (snx) (Translation: dr)

Thorsten Mampel, first chairman of the ACH association, writes: The Amiga-Club Hamburg and Amiga-Club Schleswig-Holstein are proud to announce the 9th "Amiga-Meeting Nord" in Bad Bramstedt, Germany.

The event is located at the Hotel Tanneneck in Bad Bramstedt. In the last years the Meeting became one of the biggest Amiga events in northern Germany. Up to 40 users can bring their computers and use it in an generously room of the hotel. They can connect to a LAN with internet access.

Some of the agenda items that are planned:

  • making a "party-cd" by the users
  • Local Area Network with internet access
  • webcam and much more...
The most important thing is always having fun! If the developers want to present their products to the Amiga community on the event, a special price is offered for the meeting. 65 EURO instead of 82 EUR or 32,50 instead of 41 EURO (see "costs" below...) Please feel free and contact Thorsten Mampel for more detail informations. Amiga users can sign up under the title link or directly with Norbert Kapahnke with the phone number +49 04192/500071.

Cloanto: Emulation package Amiga Forever 2008
Preceding an official press-release scheduled for next week, Cloanto today announced the availability of the next version of their emulation package:

After more than two years of work, Amiga Forever 2008 is being officially released today. This new version is the most significant upgrade ever in the Amiga Forever series. It sets new references in usability, while more than tripling the featured content and providing easy access to a universe of free downloads.

The new player for Windows is nothing short of revolutionary, while feeling as familiar and easy to use as a media player (Screenshots). Beyond its beautiful skin, it uses heuristic logic to autoconfigure downloaded games (including double clicks on disk images), and supports features such as saved states, disk write undo and dual monitor setups.

On the cross-platform front, the KX Light standalone boot environment features a new kernel and hard disk installation (with online updates). The Gallery section (Plus Edition CD) includes the full and original 1979 Tripos (AmigaOS precursor) presentation, and new "top secret" Amiga-Atari documents, while tons of new games and demoscene productions are sure to deliver long hours of enjoyment. For the technically-minded, Amiga Forever 2008 also includes new ROMs, new ADFs, new HDFs, and better support for WHDLoad, AmiKit and AmigaSYS (crash-course for upgraders).

Owners of a previous version of Amiga Forever (any edition, either downloadable or physical) can upgrade at a reduced price.

The Amiga Forever team at Cloanto would again like to thank the numerous Amiga Friends for their long-time support (and patience, in recent months), and the many contributors who made Amiga Forever possible (as listed in the Credits section of the Amiga Forever documentation). (snx)

AmigaOS 4: 3D-Shooter Descent 2
Hans-Jörg Frieden has ported the 3D-shooter D2X which is an OpenGL-version of Descent 2, to AmigaOS 4 (screenshot).

Additional to the libSDL the game files of the Windows- or Mac-version are required as well. Both the files of the demo-/shareware-version and of the commercial full version can be used.

The Amiga port only supports software-rendering. Furthermore the network support still does not work. (cg) (Translation: dr)
