WB Super Games and Payback Fan CD available
Wehrheim, Germany, June 19th, 2006.
We are glad to inform you, that we are finished the WB Super Games and the Payback Fan CD. The two products are available in our OnlineShop.
WB Super Games - The Workbench games collection for your AmigaOS 4
WB Super Games is a Workbench game collection for AmigaOS 4 which includes 7 different games. LogiLog, Alinearis and Cerebrum guarantee fun for all fans of brain gym. But also action fans will find them enjoyable. They can train themselves with the network games AXO, Memoria, Serpentis and Stoertebeker for one or two players.
There is always the option to run other programs while playing, because WB Super Games are executed on the Workbench. So you can control a chat-program for example. Moreover, all games are developed to use minimal resources, so that there is still enough system performance for other applications running at the same time. The collection was developed especially for AmigaOS 4 PPC-native. It does not need any additional libraries or SDL.
Die WB Super Games is delivered on CD and costs just 9,95 Euro.
Payback Fan CD - The AddOn CD for Payback
Payback is one of the most popular amiga games of the last years and can still fascinate a loyal fan community. Because of that we have created a CD for Payback fans.
The Payback Fan CD is an AddOn CD for the Amiga game Payback. On the CD you can find 12 background pictures and 16 Patterns for the Workbench as well as skins for AmigaAmp. The highlight of the CD are the 22 still unpublished Maps, which guarantee you many hours of fun. If you like to create your own levels, you can find many textures of all types on the CD. Additionally you can find a exclusive interview of James Daniel, all "Amiga Speed" tests, the Amig@lien Payback Website and many reports about Payback. As a Payback Fan you absolutely need this CD.
The Payback Fan CD is delivered on CD and costs just 5,95 Euro.
A big thanks goes to the author of Payback James Daniels for his support.

Standards and specs: The Interchange File Format (IFF)
On the developerWorks pages of IBM, in the "Standards and specs" line-up, the Interchange File Format (IFF) from Electronic Arts, which is used on the Amiga in particular, was now recognized as well.
In his article, Peter Seebach says that this format, introduced in 1985, already had many of the features still sought today in modern file formats, as well as what can be learned from it with regard to the latter, such as XML. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Cloanto: Amiga Forever 2006 Released and Shipping
Cloanto released Amiga Forever 2006, the latest version of the award-winning Amiga preservation, emulation and support suite for Windows and other platforms. The product is in stock at all reseller partners.
Compared to the previous release, Amiga Forever 2006 includes 200 MB of new Amiga games and demoscene productions (CD version) and hundreds of enhancements. Some titles, such as Eric Chahi's Another World, have been re-released as a special build for this version. Amiga Forever 2006 features enhanced compatibility with popular Amiga add-ons such as AmiKit, AmigaSYS and AROS for Amiga (AFA), while introducing third-party ROMs, such as Logica's Dialoga diagnostic system.
"These recent developments are only a small sign of the work we are doing to make Amiga Forever more open and appealing to a diverse audience", said Cloanto's Michael C. Battilana, who was recently uncovered as "The man with green hair" next to Jay Miner on the Amiga Forever back cover.
Like the previous version, Amiga Forever 2006 is available in an Online Edition (compact download for Windows), a Plus Edition (downloadable cross-platform CD ISO image) and a Premium Edition (CD plus two video DVDs - photo). All versions of Amiga Forever make it possible to run Amiga software on non-Amiga computers, giving access to thousands of Amiga games and demoscene productions which are available for free download from software publishers and Amiga history sites alike. The Plus Edition and Premium Edition include more preinstalled games and demos, additional items of historical interest and several hours of videos.
Presented by the people who made it all possible, the videos on the two Premium Edition DVDs provides a unique insight into the history of computers and multimedia, exposing the relationship between Commodore, the Amiga, an increasingly mature PC market, and the ups and downs of the video games industry.
"This DVD set has some incredible footage from the early Amiga days. I really enjoyed watching the launch of the Amiga and interviews with the creator of the Amiga, Jay Miner," said Brian Bagnall, author of On the Edge: the Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore. "If you want to know more about what was going on behind the scenes, this is for you."
The Amiga Forever team will meet to present Amiga Forever 2006 in person at
Codex Alpe Adria, the yearly event organized by Cloanto the first week-end of July. Bernd Schmidt, the original author of the UAE Amiga emulation software that made the first version of Amiga Forever possible in 1997, will join the small crowd of Amiga and alternative computing developers, sceners and enthusiasts in two weeks.
The Amiga Forever team would again like to thank the Amiga Community for its support during these 20 years of Amiga and almost 10 years of Amiga Forever. (snx)

C/C++ Update for Cubic IDE
An update of the C/C++-paket has been published for Cubic-users. The current version of vbcc was integrated as well as all MorphOS SDK updates (gcc, binutils, libnix, libgcc). Furthermore the update of the syntax-highlightings and the update of the OS4-SDKs with the latest lua, abc-shell and make.
Installation hint for MorphOS-users:
- gcc 2.95.4 has been deleted from the paket because version 2.95.3 is more up-to-date (sic)
Installation hint for OS4 developer:
- You have to put the complete OS4 51.22 SDK [153 MB] to the contribution directory before starting installing. Otherwise the paket will be not installed (OS4) or without Cross-Compilation-possibility (other platforms).
- This version of the C/C++-paket can not use an installed SDK: It has to be installed by Cubic. Thus you get a better and cleaner installation as before.
Attention: This is a beta version. The AmigaOS-3- and MorphOS-site were tested but the AmigaOS-4-site not.

AROS: Snapshot of the PPC version ("Linux hosted")
The team AROS provides a precompiled snapshot of the PPC port. It is a "Linux hosted"-version, so Linux incl. X-Window-System and glibc-2.3.4. is required. Further requirements are available in the documentation.
The distribution must be extracted in any folder and can be started through the shell then. To do so you go to the subdirectory AROS and execute "./aros".

Minimig: Screenshot of the PCB layout
Dennis van Weeren, developer of the FPGA-based Amiga 500 clone Minimig (reported by amiga-news.de), has released a screenshot of the final PCB layout (Rev. 1.0) under the title link.
The circuit board has two layers and measures merely 120 x 120 mm. After a check of the PS/2 connections, which is still outstanding, a prototype of the board should be produced and tested for its functional capability. (snx) (Translation: cad)

ACK: Status update for various PPC products
In an IRC chat, Adam Kowalczyk from ACK has commented once more on various announced hardware projects. He regrets the delays, but estimates the harm done thereby as apparently not particularly tragic. At the urging of the users, one has now decided, at least, to release some pictures, these should be visible on Tuesday on amigaworld.net.
CPU Modules
The CPU modules work, but in the AmigaOne, they do not achieve the expected performance increase.
Unlike the Powervixxen TL (see below), the 60x protocol is being used in the Eyetech computers for the communication between motherboard and CPU module, apparently, there are still problems here.
Powervixxen LT
Prototypes of this A1200 expansion already exist. Rather accidentally, in the process, it has crystallized that the PV LT can be operated with just a Mediator PCI busboard (so without A1200) as well. The adaptation of AmigaOS 4 to the hardware was already started in "a simulated environment," "a good deal of work" has already been invested in the adaptation, reportedly.
- MPC 5200 @ 400-466MHz
- 512 MB Ram on-board
- On-board graphics: Radeon Mobility
- ATA/IDE interface
- 100 Mbit ethernet
- USB 1.1
- AC97 audio codec (with automatic integration of the Amiga sound chip's sound output)
- Works in original A1200 desktop case
As price for a Powervixxen LT including AmigaOS 4, 375 USD (without taxes) is being targeted. A "pre-production" model should be introduced in the British event AmiRevival (July 29). Unlike the well-known Phase5 accelerator cards, the Powervixxen LT cannot be deactivated.
Powervixxen TL
"Mostly working" prototypes of this stand-alone motherboard exist. The final specifications look like the following:
- ATX form factor
- Northbridge: Tundra TSI109
- CPU slot compatible to AmigaOne/MicroA1 (supports 133/167/200 Mhz FSB)
- 2 DDR2 DIMM slots, up to 2 GB RAM
- 2 x Gigabit-Ethernet on-board
- 1 x PCIe Graphics (1x)
- 1 x PCI 66 Mhz
- 4 x PCI 33/66 Mhz
- BIOS: UBoot
The board should be available without CPU as well (as upgrade option for AmigaOne owners), for an estimated price of 550-600 USD. The price including CPU will rest with $1000-1200, depending on desired processor.
Carrier Board for Powervixxen LT
This carrier board should allow for a stand-alone operation of the Powervixxen LT, which is normally powered by the A1200 motherboard. The licensing negotiations with Amiga Inc. are not concluded here yet, which is why the other projects are being worked on for the time being. In the hitherto negotiations, Amiga Inc. has reportedly proven to be "very responsive" and has not "presented any stumbling blocks" to Kowalczyk so far. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Multimedia application layer: Hollywood 2.0 updated
For the multimedia application Hollywood 2.0 was a small update made available that removes two bugs in the version for AmigaOS4. As you can create with all Hollywood versions AmigaOS4 programs should users of other Hollywood versions
(e.g. MorphOS or AmigaOS 3) install this update. The update can be downloaded from now on from the Airsoft Softwair using the title link.

ACK: presentation of the AmigaOne cpu module again delayed
As Adam Kowalczyk from ACK Software Controls informed on amigaworld.net was the for today announced presentation of the cpu modules for the AmigaOne again delayed.
According to Kowalczyk arose technical problems using the modules with a MicroA1 as well as with his own TSI109 based motherboard whose analyzis would need more time and ressources than were available until the planned presentation.
Kowalczyk apologizes to all interested and said that today from 20:00h on he would answer to questions on the IRC channel #amigaworld (server: irc.amigaworld.net).

MorphOS: Nixskeleton, a Shared Library Skeleton
Sigbjørn 'CISC' Skjære has published an example implementation of a Shared Library called "nixskeleton"
in the download section of the "MorphOS Developer Connection". Features of
Nixskeleton:
- Multiple libbases, each opener gets their own private base and global data.
- A task will always get the same base, thus the library can be indirectly opened elsewhere through the same task and still get the right libbase.
- However this means callers should avoid sharing libbase across tasks (this is frowned upon anyway), as it'll lead to trouble!
- You can use libnix I/O and anything requiring constructors etc in the library.
- Full of comments (hopefully enough) to help you understand the magic involved.
- The skeleton uses SYSV (with r12base to be able to work its magic) functions, since this is the most likely candidate (it is however possible to adapt it for 68k entries, basically you have to change the global __restore_r13() function).
- You *can* *not* pass filedescriptors between caller and library, or free() memory allocated by the other etc, doing so will mean certain death, you have been warned! ;)
If there should be any questions please contact the author.

2nd Bochumer Retrobörse for classic videogames
Pressemitteilung:
Hi friends and collectors,
after the great success of the first retrofair in Bochum/Germany we
now start the 2nd one:
2. Bochumer Retrobörse for classic videogames
19th August 2006, 11.00h -16.00h
Falkenheim, Akademiestrasse 69, Bochum
Many visitors of the first fair at Eurocon 2005 asked us to do
another one, because they liked it very much. Now itZs the time. At the
Falkenheim in Bochum (Ruhrvalley, about one hour by car from the
dutch border) we found a nice location. We have place for about 40
tables for sellers. Some tables are stil available. A table costs 10
Euro (2 tables are 9 Euro each, 3 and more are 8 Euro each). Table
sizes are 1,40m x 0,70m.
So if you want to join the RetroFair as a seller, please contact us
at retroboerse@gamereset.de. Comments and wishes are always welcome.
We plan some highlights for the fair-day, which we will announce at our website in the next few weeks. There is a banner on the website as well and we would ask you to put it on your website to support the event.
We hope to see you in August in Bochum as a seller or a visitor.

AmigaOS 4: Native version of MCC_Mailtext
MCC-Mailtext is a MUI-class for displaying electronical messages used by e.g. Jabberwocky.
The source code can be now compiled by GCC and the new version 3.2 also contains OS4-native binaries.
There are not further changes so if you do not use AmigaOS 4 you can use the
old version.
A development of MCC_Mailtext is not planned but if there should be problems or bugs
there will be further versions.

Retro Gaming: WHDLoad 16.6
With WHDLoad it is possible to install old, copy protected games onto hard disk, furthermore compatibility issues with AGA based and tuned Amigas are fixed. Changes of version 16.6:
- fix: no more enforcer hits (byte read from adr 0) on directory cache
preload on FFS filesystems (Christian)
- upd: italian documentation is in sync again, thanks David Bergantin
for updating it
- upd: small enhancement for HrtMon to print out expmem boundaries
- fix: no longer complains about missing ENV: assign
- fix: bus/address error messages on 68000 corrected
- fix: the message returned on interrupted resload functions did have
the same name for both functions, this has been corrected
- chg: argument checking for resload functions improved, now the
current stack can not be overwritten by resload functions (size
of reserved stack space is 64 bytes)
- new: command GA added to resload_Patch/Seg to get a address and store
it inside a variable in the slave
- fix: modify at ExpMem via resload_Patch works again, was permitted
in version 16.5
- chg: kickemu improved, compiles with PhxAss and AsmOne again, new
switch NO68020 for kick31.s to get 68000 compatible code,
patches to the kickstart added to avoid overwriting the vector
table, this allows WHDLoad to catch exceptions also on 68000
(Don Adan)
- new: greek translation of documentation, thanks to Dimitris

Team AROS: Bounty #40 for DOS-Packets
For the bounty project #40 for the implementation of DOS packets in the dos.library of the Amiga Research Operating System (AROS) donations can be made now.
At first a device based method was built into AROS, but in the future both procedures should be supported. It is intended to be kompatible with the original AmigaOS and profit from file systems like EXT2, SFS or FAT32/NTFS, as AmigaOS as well as AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS already do.
Furthermore a way for other already existing bounties should be created - for example the ones for the reimplementation of the Amiga roms (Kickstart ROM Replacement phase I, phase II). (snx) (Translation: tz)

Text editor: CygnusEd 5 released
Press release Since today CygnusEd 5 is available at APC&TCP. An update for older versions is available at a reduced price when sending the original disc/CD to APC&TCP directly.
The support homepage of CygnusEd 5 is online since today as well; the support forum was already opened quite a while ago.
Salesmen who want to offer the programme to their customers should contact APC&TCP directly via email.
About CygnusEd Professional Release 5
The probably best known Amiga text editor for programmers was developed by Bruce Dawson, Colin Fox & Steve LaRocque (CygnusSoft Software) 20 years ago (1986/1987). Originally they released it on their own cost. Already back then CygnusEd was characterised by its high working speed and robustness. CygnusEd advanced constantly in the following years and was one of the first programmes with an ARexx interface and the first Amiga text editor with Undo/Redo functions. Many Amiga programmers "grew up" with CygnusEd and a considerable part of the software developed for Amiga was written with CygnusEd.
CygnusEd version 4, which was the last released version, was published in 1997 and was a completetly revised version of the texteditor and its tools, adapted to AmigaOS 3.1.
The latest CygnusEd version 5 has some new functions and robustness and working speed were once again improved. The tool "Ed" was rewritten completely and the complete source code is enclosed to CygnusEd. Many old restrictions and weaknesses of CygnusEd have been removed.
