Linux: OpenSuSE 10.0 for PowerPC / Short guide for installation on Pegasos
Due to the large number of requests, again a PowerPC version of the Linux distribution OpenSuSE has been released in version 10.0 beta 3 ("Bangalore") at the title link.

At PPCZone Marcel 'Frostwork' Unbehaun has published a short guide for installing OpenSuSE on the Pegasos. All you need is a Pegasos-compatible kernel, no further modifications are required.

How to install OpenSuSE on Pegasos computers:
  • Boot the first SuSE-CD with the following parameters: boot cd suseboot/inst32 minmemory=0 MemYastText=0 sysrq=1
  • You will be guided through the installation process
  • When installation of the first CD is finished, the computer will reboot
  • Now copy the kernel-modules of a Pegasos-compatible kernel to /lib/modules/"kernelversion" of your new system
  • Copy a Pegasos-compatible kernel to your boot-hd (if it isn't already there; if you choose a special filesystem like reiserfs, make sure it is compiled into your kernel)
  • In the Open Firmware, a usual linux-boot parameter-path is everything you will need: boot "SuseKernel" root=/dev/your-chosen-hd (plus additional parameters you want to use, like video=xxx)
  • SuSE should boot now with your kernel and finish installation

AmigaOS4: AmiPodder updated to version 1.2
Robert Williams's freeware program AmiPodder, for now the only Amiga receiver for so called podcasts, was updated to version 1.2. The ARexx program needs further software listed on the installation site.

The update contains an improved feedcheck for new podcasts making this routine more efficient and therefore faster.

Besides does the author introduce some podcasts in the links area of his website.

MorphOS: libnix updated
There's a new libnix available for MorphOS in the download area of the MorphOS Developer Connection. It is recommended that all registered developers updated an installed MorphOS SDK with this new version.

Among other things were the following changed or are new:
  • added lfind/lsearch.
  • fixed access(), which didn't work properly at all.
  • optimized fseek(), should be much faster with in-buffer seeks now.
  • fixed scanf() (and all related functions (including strtod)) parsing of sequence of floats.
  • qsort() no longer compares the same elements against eachother (pointless, and broke some compare routines).
  • support printf/scanf (and related functions) %hh formatting.

MorphOS: ressources-friendly MUI settings (2nd Update)
Oliver 'Bladerunner' Hummel made ressources friendly MUI settings available for users of the PowerUp version of MorphOS. In addition, he recommends the use of the skin "Rainy Blue" that is available on the CD. The effect is clearly visible. Further help can be found in our forum.

Download: Muilight.prefs (15 KB)

Update: (22:15, 28.08.05, snx)
Since the main reason for the performance gain seems to be to avoid the use of gradients, Oliver Hummel has released new MUI settings at MorphZone. Because of a minor mistake in the original settings for Oliver's Cyberstorm skin it is recommended for its users to download these new settings, too.

Alternatively, our reader Jean Holzammer suggests to avoid using skins at all and force the original look of Intuition instead. To do so, you have to rename (or delete) the skins directory in both SYS:Prefs and MOSSYS:Prefs.

Update 2: (22:38, 28.08.05, snx)
Another hint has been posted by 'rzookol' - according to him, the missing font vera.ttf in the mossys:fonts/_ttf directory is also a reason for a lower performance of the PowerUp version. As a solution, you can rename a copy of the font verase.ttf: "copy sys:morphos/fonts/_ttf/verase.ttf sys:morphos/fonts/_ttf/vera.ttf". Pegasos owners can copy the missing font from their corresponding MorphOS installation. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Microsoft (E-mail)


10 years Windows 95
On August the 24th, 1995 Windows 95 replaced MS-DOS with a simple to use graphical user interface and a fast system kernel. Contemporaneous Office 95 had been released and the Microsoft Network service (MSN) has been lauched.

Windows 95 was based on 32 bit technolgy and replaced the MS-DOS extension Windows 3.x. Thus, the PC evolved to an universal work tool and conquered the digital household. This version became the most successfull software of its time for business and private customers. The new features included the start button with its embedded menu, long file names and internet connectivity usind TCP/IP of the integrated MSN client. Thus, Windows 95 was anticipating many imortant developments. A similar big step for the IT will be the coming release of Windows Vista.

Today Windows, as a former concurrent system to the Amiga, plays an important role for the Amiga scene providing a base for the Amiga emulator WinUAE. (nba) (Translation: ub)

AmigaOS 4: Drum-Computer RockBEAT 1.1
RockBEAT is a simple software drum machine (Screenshot) for AmigaOS 4. It is a tool for musicians that allows you to create drumming tracks. It can create multiple tracks, each one being 4x 4/4 measures with 16th notes. You can save individual tracks as wav files, or the whole thing as one big song. You can drop in your own 16bit 44100Hz PCM WAV samples in the drumsamples/ folder if you like. The new version 1.1 is out now including several fixes.

Changes in detail:
  • No more grim reaper alerts when starting then stopping playback quickly I removed an AbortIO() call that wasnt really needed.
  • Theres no more excess silence at the end of wav files for individually saved tracks.
  • Button graphics are freed up when quitting now.
  • All message ports are emptied and deleted when quitting. No more "unfreed signals" error messages now, and I think it has brought up stability a little.
  • Drum samples limit changed to 20. It used to crash after more than 10 samples were loaded due to a silly programming error. i.e. looping up to 20 times when there were only 10 available spaces in the array.
  • Adding new samples to the drumsamples/ folder will no longer make old projects invalid.
  • Better compatibility with some WAVs. RockBEAT used to assume a certain WAV header value was a always certain size, but I've found out it can be different.
  • I have included a cool cymbal sample to the default drumsamples/set.
The demo is restricted to 10 minutes. If you like it, you can purchase a keyfile from the author for $15 USD. (nba)

PBEM game: Tamar needs new land! (VI)
The Massive Multiplayer PBEM game 'Tales of Tamar' will be extended by another area of land. The following announcement is taken from the game's forum:

For the sixth time, we start our event 'Tamar needs new land!'. - Once again, all of Tamar has been settled, and new land has to be found for new realms.

Don't miss that opportunity! It will take place on September 1st, only 10 days from now. Start with other players under equal conditions, and show that your a contender for the rank of emperor!

Explore regions of Tamar that no man has set foot on before. Meet unique challanges like dragons, undead and other creatures, and prove yourself in the contest with other human players.

Hint 1:
Our price of 500 Euro for the first emperor among the realms created after January 1st 2005 has still not been claimed. (You'll find the detailed rules in the ToT forum).

Hint 2:
If you enter the keyword "Shareware" in the field for the serial number while registering, you can start playing for free. A turn fee will only apply once you got deeper into the game. Also please add the remark that you want to start on September 1st.

Hint 3:
Since the clients for Mac OS and Linux are also playable on the same world, we need some beta testers for these systems.

Wishing you a lot of fun,
with best regards,
Your ToT-Team & Wolfen (snx)

Genesi: Support for the AMCC 440EP Yosemite board (Update)
Press release Genesi is pleased to announce that it will provide under license the Pegasos hardware abstraction layer and IEEE 1275 compliant Open Firmware (HAL/OF) for the recently released AMCC 440EP Yosemite Board.

The Pegasos HAL/OF approach brings with it immediate GNU/Linux kernel support as well as support from a growing number Linux distributions, including Debian, Gentoo, YDL, Ubuntu, CruxPPC, Montavista and Fedora. An OpenSolaris PowerPC port is also underway. The Pegasos HAL/OF has been used and is being used to support PowerPC-based platforms from Freescale, IBM and now AMCC.

Genesi recently participated in the first European meeting of Power.org held at the Barcelona Super Computer Center. At the Event the Pegasos HAL/OF approach was discussed as a potential standard for PowerPC based boards to speed system enablement.

"Already, companies like Genesi USA Inc. are building PowerPC processor-based systems using the IEEE 1275 Open Firmware model to bring PowerPC technology, flexibility, and efficiency to the desktop, low-end server, home entertainment, and pervasive computing markets at an affordable price. The hardware abstraction layer of the PegasosPPC has been integrated into the mainline GNU/Linux kernel and includes an x86 emulation extension which allows generic PC-based components to be used."

The Pegasos HAL/OF approach enables the vast software resources currently available on the Open Desktop Workstation to be shared with other PowerPC-based platforms. The Open Desktop Workstation is a CHRP compliant platform based on the Pegasos and composed of standard PC components. The Pegasos HAL/OF provides a logical successor to the CHRP standard replacing hardware dependent code with API callbacks to an abstraction layer that provides a common interface to operating systems and/or applications as required.

Update: (18:51, 23.08.05, snx)
At linuxdevices.com you can find a photo and an article about the Yosemite board. (snx)

Kick Off 2: World Cup 2005 in Germany
The 5th official Kick Off 2 World Cup is coming to Germany. It takes place from November 12th to 13th, 2005, in Cologne. After England, Holland, Greece and Italy had the honor of hosting before, it is Jörg "Panni" Pansen and Sascha Weigelmann who organise this big event in 2005. They expect guests from all over Europe and as the hosting country they hope that a lot of fellow countrymen join them in the games, partying and finally battle for the World Cup title.

The official forum to the WorldCup is at . On this forum there are - sometimes rather vivid ;) - discussions concerning the rules and all kinds of Kick Off related topics.

Kick Off 2 is a computer based football game from the company Anco back from the year 1990, which was mainly successful on the Commodore Amiga and the Atari ST. The game is still fascinating today because of its rapid gameplay and the unique way of steering, where it needs real skill to control the ball. The fun while playing is enormous and even so many years after the release there is a giant fanbase. (snx) (Translation: nba)

Feelin: Patch for beta version 050819
Olivier Laviale has released a patch for the recently published beta version 050819 of his object-oriented system Feelin (amiga-news.de reported).

The patch does fix the following bugs:

1. dos.library/DupLockFromFH() does not work with WinUAE virtual volumes (and maybe large disks). Because the function was used by FC_Document, Feelin was unable to read XML files, which result in an empty preference editor. This is fixed now.

2. "Prefs" has not been linked properly, resulting in a crash when the program ended. This is fixed now.

Furthermore, one person reported a dimension problem: the preference editor window was too big, ~1500 pixels. The author would like anyone to contact him who has experienced the same issue.

iPod Shuffle and Amiga: amiShuffle v0.6.0
Thomas Meigel wrote a simple program to use the iPod shuffle in combination with AmigaOS. The program allows the connection of the mp3-player using the USB-port and shows the shuffle inside the system as an integrated USB flash stick with mp3-play-function.

After copying the mp3-files onto the iPod the user should start amiShuffle to fill the database (iTunesSD) with the necessary information.

Commodity: Dragon imitates draggable screens (update)
Dragon from #AmigaZeux is a little program, wich imitates the function of Amiga's screendragging under CyberGraphX (Screenshot, Video).

With the left mousebutton the front screen can be pulled down and sideways to have a look at the screen behind. A click of the right mousebutton switches to this screen. Moreover a GUI offers certain options.

Download: Dragon.lha (62 KB)

Update: (12:01, 22.08.05, snx)
Meanwhile the version 1.1 is available under the same download link.

Besides a general code cleanup the old Mode-ID is reused and the BestModeID is skipped if the screen to be opened has the same depth as the minimum required depth.

Moreover the indication of the version in the OpenLibrary()-function call was corrected: Minimum required is V41 of the cybergraphics.library and not V42, as mistakenly mentioned. (snx) (Translation: ts)

AROS: nForce NIC support (Update)
Michal Schulz has finished a NIC driver for AROS to support the nForce, nForce2, nForce3 and nForce4 chipset. Thus, the Team AROS bounty 27 has been completed. The source code has been commited to SVN.

According to the author, support of even newer chipsets (up to nForce11 or nForce12) is a matter of adding proper DeviceIDs and setting few flags for the specific chipset (mostly which interrupts are provided by the hardware itself). (snx)

Filesystem-Handler: Ext2FS-Betaversion 0.13 allows write-access
Marek Szyprowski has published a public betaversion 0.13 of his Ext2-Filesystem for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS. Because of activated debug-ouput, this version is slower than its predecessors

This update gives support for changable media and it also allows write-access to ext2-partitions, but handle with care, it isn't well-tested. Use it on your own risk.
Please send bugreports to the author, who is on vacation until the beginning of September.

MorphOS: VNC Server 1.0RC2 released (Update)
VNC Server 1.0RC2 has been released for MorphOS by Harry Sintonen and Jacek Piszczek. This freeware program allows remote access to the computer. The current visible screen is displayed on the connected clients (e.g. MorphVNC), and clients can control the mouse, keyboard and clipboard.

Main features include:
  • Upto 63 simultanous clients
  • MUI GUI with full keyboard control
  • Flexible access control list, with multiple passwords with different settings. You can for example disable mouse, keyboard and clipboard for users who don't know the password for full access. You can allow or deny any IP/Mask
  • Realtime Settings: Change setting and the change takes action immediately. Settings are saved automagically when VNC Server is quit
  • Extensive security features: By default will prompt local user to accept/reject incoming connections. Also, only LAN connections are allowed by default
  • Logical view of connected clients, with possibility to disconnect (Kick) or block and disconnect (Kickban) selected client or all connected clients
  • Support for Remote FrameBuffer (RFB) protocol upto version 3.8
  • Clipboard support: You can copy text between server and client
  • DisplayBeep support: The client 'bell' event it sent when DisplayBeep occurs
  • Support for ZLib compression with conforming clients (MorphVNC and TightVNC for example). Using ZLib enabled client is highly recommended
  • Support for framebuffer resize extension with conforming clients (RealVNC, TightVNC and probably other modern clients)
  • Support for screen swap: All screens are displayed properly (Palette indexed screen support is not fully finished in current version: Palette changes are not promoted to clients, and mouse pointer can appear with weird colours. Clients that don't support framebuffer resize extension will only display left-top part of the larger screens)
  • Support for local mouse pointer extension for faster client mouse pointer movement
  • No slow full screen polling, but instead implements intelligent routines to detect display changes. There is very little system load when display is idle
  • Fully asynchronous design with advanced state engine. There are no blocking operations, so connected clients will continue to run normally even if other clients attempt to connect or if settings are being changed
Update: (11:55, 15.08.05, snx)
Meanwhile, version 1.0RC3 has been released at the title link. The update does fix the bug of not being able to load disabled state of some options. (snx)

Report of the PUSH 2005.2 / Interview with Genesi (English)
Kristian 'Ironfist' Eklund has published an English report of the PUSH 2005.2 which took place last weekend under the title link. At the third PowerPC party there were Pegasos computers as well as AmigaOnes and Macs.

The Altivec speech by David Holm as well as the release of the MorphOS program SnapIt and of the Linux program Mupper were the highlights of the event.

Additionally Bill Buck from Genesi was interviewed via IRC. There he confirmed that the "Pegasos 2.5" is a reference board made by Freescale called HPC I (High Performance Computer) and HPC II.

As the CPU cards for the Pegasos probably the processor MPC7448 will be used instead of the MPC7447A. A new Pegasos generation will be introduced with the MPC8641.

Genesi hoped that there will be a sales version of the Efika-board at the end of the year. But this was a question of the available capital. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Pre-release of the screen grabber SnapIt
At PUSH event in Sweden, Stefan Blixth of OnyxSoft released version 0.1 of the screen grabber SnapIt for MorphOS (screenshot).

SnapIt is a screen grabber that works similar to Stephan Rupprecht's SGrab, but features a MUI-based user interface and is MorphOS-native.

Versions for AmigaOS/68k and AROS are planned for the future. A native version for AmigaOS4 has not been possible, though, since the author doesn't have the chance so far to compile one.
