Michal 'kiero' Wozniak has adapted the game "UHexen2 - Hammer of Thyrion" by Ozkan Sezer
and Steve Atkinson in a extended way for MorphOS
(screenshot 1, 2).
A graphic card with 3D-drivers as well as the tinygl.library and the
powersdl.library are required.
For the installation you need two files of the original game: pak0.pak and pak1.pak;
you have to copy those ones to the directory data1. Then you can start the
update-script.
If you also want to enjoy the colored lighting you need the Colored Lighting-files.

Press release: Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2005
Cloanto's official press release about the shipping of Amiga Forever 2005 (amiga-news.de reported):
Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever 2005
October 7, 2005 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2005,
the official Amiga emulation, OS, connectivity, history and
support suite, now featuring 20 GB of software, data and videos
to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Amiga computer.
Amiga Forever 2005 is available in three editions:
- Online Edition (downloadable installer for Windows systems, $29.95)
- Plus Edition (downloadable CD ISO image with Windows and platform-neutral additional content, $39.95)
- Premium Edition (a physical package containing the Plus Edition CD, two DVDs and an Amiga "Boing" epoxy dome decal, combined with an instant download of the installer for Windows, $59.95)
Previous versions of Amiga Forever included more limited
multimedia content on a single CD. After almost two years of
work, the new Premium Edition version features more than five
hours of "must-see" videos on two professionally-authored
dual-layer DVDs.
All versions of Amiga Forever include Amiga OS 1.3 and 3.X
files that make it possible to run "Classic" Amiga software
(including thousands of legally-downloadable games, demos and
other Amiga applications) on any PC, with special support for
the Windows platform, but also compatible with Mac OS X and
GNU/Linux systems.
On the software side, the new version makes use of XML-based
technology to more easily download, install and run
Amiga games and demos, more of which are now also included
in the package itself. Amiga Forever 2005 introduces
several changes that will make the transition to Windows Vista
as smooth as possible (and it already runs fine on the latest
beta, too), especially if the Amiga emulation and OS are hosted
in an environment that does not have administrator privileges.
But Amiga Forever is not just about games and videos:
professional users will for example appreciate the improved
SCSI-passthrough functionality and drivers, a feature that is
missing even in high-end "virtual systems", and that aims to
assist in the recovery of old data that may otherwise have
been considered lost.
Last but not least, the Premium Edition features the new
"Boing" decals, which Cloanto originally introduced with the
launch of Amiga Forever 1.0 in 1997. The new epoxy dome decals
are printed in three colors on brushed metal, and, by popular
demand, will from now on be included in every package.
At the same time, the Amiga Forever web site at
www.amigaforever.com just went live with over 200 new or updated pages. The site includes additional information about the different versions, including screenshots, technology
tutorials, links to game and demo download sites, and much more.
As always, the Amiga Forever Team at Cloanto would like to
thank the Amiga Community for its support over the past 20
years, which made everything possible, from the first steps
developing software for the Amiga, to this new version of Amiga
Forever.

Windows development suite with Amiga/68k crosscompiler
AmiDevCpp is based on the free development suite Dev-C++, but the
generic compiler has been replaced with an AmigaOS crosscompiler.
Thus, it becomes possible to develop and compile programs
for the Amiga (m68k) while using the Windows environemt.
The integrated development suite offers a decent and mighty work tool
(screen shot).
With the packet system even beginners are able to install
new includes and libraries.
Most packets also include examples which work instantly, even
programmer newbies can make their first Amiga program without
typing a single line of source code.
The development suite comes with a windows typical
installer,which is multi lingual and includes a deinstaller, too.
Bug reports, critics and suggesions are most welcome if placed
at the programmer
board by amiga-news.de.

MorphOS: Software news up to 02.10.2005
DiskSpeed 4.9
DiskSpeed, the program for determining harddisk access speed, was ported from AROS to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.
Download: DiskSpeedPPC.lha (82 KB)
ezTCP 0.6
In the meantime, the PPC-native TCP/IP stack ezTCP by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is available in alpha version 0.6. The problem with domain names starting with a number was solved. Additionally, together with the separate usergroup.library, which is now ported as well, the use of programs based on the ixemul.library is also possible.
Download
usergroup.library 4.1
The usergroup.library was separated by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin from his TCP/IP stack project and serves solely compatibility purposes. It is merely required by programs based on the ixemul.library in interaction with the TCP/IP stack, even though Amiga operating systems represent only single user systems anyway.
Download
XDME 1.84
XDME concerns a texteditor that was ported to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.
Download: XDME-PPC.lha (1,4 MP)
XInvaders3D 1.3.6
XInvaders3D is a clone of the game Space Invaders (Screenshot) based on vector graphics, which was, likewise, ported to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.
Download: XInvaders3D.lha (94 KB) (snx) (Translation: cad)

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
This has been a rather quiet news month, with few strong stories to
report. However, sometimes what you lack in quantity you make up for
in quality. One story in particular is an eye-opener and, we think,
very important. That would be the entry of a new manufacturer in the
Amiga One arena. Check out our lead story on the Guru Meditation /
Troika partnership. Great news!
Also good news, for those who want to read a paper Amiga magazine in
the wilds of North America, is the new arrangement announced by
"Total Amiga" just today. Glad to see this effort undertaken, and
"kudos" to all involved.
Hmmmmm. Maybe it wasn't such a quiet news month, after all.
We hope you enjoy this issue.
Regards,
Brad Webb,
Editor

Gothenburg, Sweden, September 24th, 2005
Guru Meditation and Troika NG are pleased to announce a joint
partnership in creating the next generation AmigaOS 4.0 motherboard.
Ever since Guru Meditation first heard about Troika, they gathered
every little bit of information about their proposed board. Finally,
contact was made.
Troika, who greatly respects the business Guru Meditation has built up
in short time, found it very easy to partner with them.
Resources provided by Guru Meditation are now being utilized by
Troika's project "Prometheus". Troika believes that with the
additional resources that Guru Meditation is providing they double or
triple their effective man hours to finish the project faster, and
thus bring the board to production sooner!
Andreas Loong of Guru Meditation said, "With this injection we hope to
see the board ready and in production earlier than expected. It also
means some interesting possibilities for the future.". He further
added, "Looking at the specifications and the current shortage of
hardware in the market spurred us on further, and we believe this will
be a very nice addition, especially as a developer board. However,
developer boards doesn't rule out other configurations, and we are
confident that Troika and Guru Meditation is a winning combination".
Josh B. of TroikaNG commented "Guru Meditation is very well known for
good quality service and support in the AmigaOne Community. We are so
pleased for Guru Meditation to bring additional resources into the
Troika design".
The Amy'05 is a mini-ITX form factor computer based around the PowerPC
750FX microprocessor. It is intended to be a low cost, legacy free
system aimed at the embedded/home server market running versions of
Linux and the Amiga OS4 operating system.
Although modest by modern hardware standards, Amy'05 has been designed
in such a way as to leverage the highest performance possible with
enough system throughput to make the best use of the PPC processor.
The design has very much been balanced for performance and price.
Guru Meditation & Troika NG
/Guru Meditation/ was formed late 2003 and started off very modestly
as a reseller of Amiga equipment and AmigaOne hardware. In mid 2004
the decision was made to acquire the rights for Directory Opus to
bring it back to the Amiga platform as the start of a new program of
expansion to help kickstart the Amiga market back into life.
/Troika NG/ formed to provide the next generation in PPC computers,
based on the Troika "reference design". The final goal being, the next
generation Amiga at a very reasonable price/performance.

30 September, 2005
Total Amiga magazine is happy to announce a reduction of about 25% in
the cost of a 4 issue subscription posted to the USA or Canada. To
acheive this we have come to an agreement with Greg Condon, from the
PANORAMA Amiga user group of Vancouver, to print a second run of the
magazine in Canada. Printing in Canada reduces our postage costs both
within Canada and to the USA enabling us to dramatically reduce the
cost of a subscription.
A four issue subscription to either the USA or Canada will now cost
only 15UKP (about 26USD) as compared to the the old price of 20UKP
(35USD). Copies of the current issue of Total Amiga will now cost USA
and Canadian buyers only 4.50UKP (8USD) compared to 6.00UKP
previously. Back issue prices will also be reduced once back issue
from the Canadian print runs are available.
Please note: all USD conversions are approximate, based on the current
exchange rate at xe.com.
As a "thank you" for their support, and to reflect our reduced costs,
all existing subscribers in the USA or Canada with two or more issues
outstanding on their subscription will have an extra issue added free
of charge. This will happen automatically. Subscribers who have
supplied us with an e-mail address should receive a personal e-mail
confirming this over the weekend.
Orders for Total Amiga subscriptions to the USA and Canada will
continue to be taken via the Total Amiga web site (where you can pay
using your credit/debit card via PayPal) or through ForeMatt Home
Computing who can accept credit card orders over the phone. The new
US/Canada pricing is available on the Total Amiga web site now.
Total Amiga is also available through local Amiga dealers in many
countries. We will be offering dealers in the USA and Canada a similar
postage cost reduction from the next issue onwards. If you are a
dealer interested in stocking the magazine please visit our web site
for more information.
We hope this price reduction will benefit our existing subscribers in
the USA and Canada and will also enable more Amiga users in those
countries to enjoy the only English language print Amiga magazine
currently available.
Total Amiga would like to thank Greg for volunteering to take on the
responsibility of printing and distributing the magazine in North
America.

I've successfully compiled Battle of Wesnoth.
The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a
fantasy theme, and is now available for Amiga OS4.
Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate
heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of
mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the
humans who dared despoil your lands. Wesnoth has many different sagas
waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and
write your own schenarios - or even full-blown campaigns. you can also
challenge your friends - or strangers - and fight multi-player epic
fantasy battles.
to run it (for now):
Assign USR: YourPath:path_where_wesnoth_exec_is
run wesnoth
f.e.
assign USr: DH2:Wesnoth
run wesnoth
When it starts, it is a little bit slow. so don't worry for the black
screen. It has many options that can be passed to the command line. So
a Gui (DANIEEEELLLL!!!) it is needed as usual..
Enjoy

- option of recognising by volume or device name
- italian catalog.
In the archive you will find three versions of this tool: AmigaOS 3.x,
AmigaOS 4.0, MorphOS.
More information (only in polish language) can be obtained from URL

Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for Unix-like
systems (BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, and other
platforms.
This is the fourth release of my port of Apache 1.3.33 to AmigaOS 4.0.
It includes support of PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 3.23.49 and has now a

your code under both environments.
All important features are working now, so this is the first full
release. This does not mean that developement is stopped ;-)

----
Known problems:
* If you try to execute a single line of code with the standalone php-
interpreter using the '-r'-option, you will get into trouble.
This will not work in an amiga-shell: php -r'echo "hello\n";'
You need a unix-shell for this. You can use 'sh' from the perl-
package available on os4depot.net.
* You can't limit execution-time using the set_time_limit()-function.
* http- and ftp-streams are buggy.

Version 0.8.28 of the portable Amiga emulator has at last been
released, at great cost to the sanity of the maintainer.
Binaries are available for AmigaOS (both AmigaOS4 and classic 68k
machines) and for the AmigaOS clones MorphOS and AROS as well as a
Linux, MacOS X and BeOS.
This version features a tweaked AmigaOS graphics driver which now
works properly on AmigaOS4 update #3 and the OS4.0 build offers better
performance, an improved SCSI emulation (this lets you access host
CD-ROM drives directly), AmigaInput support and at last a useful CD32
emulation.
Two OS4.0 builds are available - one which uses the native graphics
driver and one which uses the SDL library. The former does not yet
support E-UAE's Picasso96 emulation, so if you want to emulate an
Amiga with a graphics card, use the SDL version for now. Otherwise,
the non-SDL version offers better performance (especially for the
CD32 emulation).

TroikaNG: Update of the homepage with frequent asked questions
At the homepage of TroikaNG the first questions and answers were entered. Therefore AGP is cancelled because except for the Articia northbridge only the IBM chip CPC 925 offers this function, but it doesn't work with the cpu chosen for the Amy'05 board.
Regarding to the final consumer price 400 British pounds would have been a very careful estimation, but in theory it could also come to 400 US dollarss (ca. 330 EUR at present). (snx) (Translation: ts)

MorphOS: AIFF/AIFF-C, RIFF WAVE and Sun/NeXT audio player for AmiNetRadio
Three new player plugins for AmiNetRadio 3.x have been released by Christian 'tokai' Rosentreter.
wave.player 3.10
The player reads RIFF WAVE (Resource Interchange File Format Audio Waveform) files and supports mono and stereo samples which are stored in 8bit - 32bit linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) or with A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit or Float 64bit compression.
aiff.player 3.3
This player adds support for Apple's Audio Interchange File Format. It reads mono and stereo AIFF/AIFF-C files, and as wave.player it supports samples stored with 8bit - 32bit PCM or compressed samples with A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit or Float 64bit data.
au.player 3.2
The last one of the trio is for Sun/NeXT Audio files. It supports interleaved mono and stereo data which is stored in Big- or Little-Endian byte order. Like both other players it understands 8bit, 16bit, 24bit and 32bit linear PCM and A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit and Float 64bit compressed samples.
All three players come with documenation and are freeware. You can get them at the title link. (snx)

MorphOS: Alphaversion 0.4 of ezTCP has been published
The PPC-native TCP/IP-Stack ezTCP by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is now
available in its alpha version 0.4. ezTCP is a
MorphZone-Bountyproject with a current donation status of 1095,73 US-$.
What's new in this version:
1. Memory trashing bug at last fixed. Try the DNS resolver, now it should work reliably with or without DOMAIN records in the resolv.conf.
2. Version of bsdsocket.library updated to 4. Now many applications will run.
3. CLI environment tools (Ping, ifconfig, route) now report if they can't open bsdsocket.library instead of quitting silently.
Remaining known problems:
1. usergroup.library is still not built, but it's on the way. So - no compatibility with ixemul.library yet. But you can try to override this by copying usergroup.library from AmiTCP (Genesis) distribution to LIBS:.
2. ezTCP kernel can't be used as a Genesis kernel replacement yet. There is some problem with the configuration, the kernel just hangs when loading configuration files (the same problem as Slawek Kaminski reported with previous versions). So I don't advice to change the location of configuration files for now. But you still play with this on your own, nice if you succeed. I just have no time to investigate this yet, I'm already a little not in my timeline and need to speed up.
3. ezTCP doesn't for check for presence of another bsdsocket.library in memory before startup. So be careful before starting it, ensure that no other stack is running.
(2) and (3) are being worked on in the background, (1) is currently a top priority (snx) (Translation: nba)

Troika and Guru Meditation disclose cooperation (Update)
On the occasion of the British event Big Bash 3, the Swedish dealer Guru Meditation and the young hardware smiths Troika disclosed their cooperation in the development of the mini-ITX PowerPC board "Amy'05". The aimed production costs per board lie under 400 British pounds (around 590 Euros).
Meanwhile, Troika presents itself on the web with a new homepage, which, apart from remarks about the previous history of the project "Prometheus," which is now designated as "Amy," also specifies more components of this board than those known so far. However, the prototype that was announced for the event in Peterborough is no longer completed on time.
The specifications of the planned PowerPC board:
- Processor: PPC 750Fx processor with Active (fan) cooling. Soldered directly to motherboard.
- Northbridge: Tundra Semiconductor TSI107 Northbridge device. This provides access to SDR RAM memory and the PCI bus amongst other things.
- Ethernet: RTL8110 Gb/100/10 Ethernet controller.
- USB 2.0: 5 x High Speed USB 2.0 ports: 3 rear connectors, 2 front connectors.
- ATA 100/133: Sil0680 ATA133 controller. Supports 2 channels (4 devices). Full ATA 100/133 transfer rates, DMA bus mastering and RAID (Raid is dependent on OS drivers).
- Audio: CMI8738 6-channel 5.1 surround sound with audio headers. Support for Line In, microphone (Analogue) and SPDIF (digital input).
- PCI slot: 2 x 33 Mhz, 32bit.
- SDRAM: 2 x DIMM memory slots (REG PC133 SDRAM. Max of 1GB)
Update: (08:05, 25.09.05, snx)
According to a message from the developer, differently from stated, the upper limit of 400 British pounds should not be about the production costs, but about the end user price. (snx) (Translation: cad)
