Tracker: DigiBooster 3.1
Press release: DigiBooster 3.1 has been released for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. DigiBooster 3.1 is available on CD-ROM and as download at the online shop of APC&TCP.
DigiBooster 3.1 follows the traditional tracker's way of making music with an
advanced audio processing engine, and an up-to-date MUI based graphical user
interface. It retains backward compatibility with its Amiga ancestor,
DigiBooster Pro 2. On the other hand the program code has been written from
scratch. Its modular design gives it a straightforward path for future
development. Except for versions for classic Amiga computers, DigiBooster 3.1 is also compiled for PowerPC processors, taking advantage of their greater computing power.
DigiBooster 3.1 key features:
- ProTracker modules import. DigiBooster 3.1 can load and play basic four track
modules, as well as multichannel ones, up to 32 channels. Import quality is
significantly better than in DigiBooster Pro 2.x
- Autosaving. DigiBooster 3.1 can save in user defined periods of time and
keep defined number of lately saved versions with autorotation
- Finished block operations in the pattern editor. DigiBooster 3.1 supports
multitrack blocks. Block operations are also available in the ARexx interface
- ARexx commands for loading/importing the module and starting playback
- New languages: French and Polish
How to get an update to version 3.1? The update from version 3.0 to 3.1 is available for free! Updates from older releases (DigiBooster Pro 2.x) are not possible.
Users who bought the download version before just have to login at the online-shop and simply download the current full version archive of DigiBooster 3.1.
Users with the CD-ROM version of DigiBooster 3.0 simply write an e-mail to info@apc-tcp.de with the following content:
- Registration number (not serial number)
- Complete postal address
- Your e-mail address (the archive is about 3 MB in size)
You will get your update immediately via e-mail.
DigiBooster 3.1 system requirements:
- AmigaOS 3.x:
- Minimum: 68020, harddrive, 8 MB Fast RAM, Workbench 3.0, MUI 3.8, AHI 4.x, screenmode 640x480
- Recommended: AmigaOS 3.x, 68060/50 MHz, 16 MB Fast RAM, graphics card, soundcard
- Supports: WinUAE (JIT enabled) with Picasso96 and dedicated AHI drivers
- AmigaOS 4:
- Minimum: AmigaOS 4.0, harddrive, 128 MB RAM, MUI 3.9

Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.5.16dev
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD is based on WinUAE and can be completely controlled with a joypad. Since the last stable version released in March (2.4.1), so far only developer versions have been released.
Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.16dev:
- Fixed legacy uaegfx_card option
- Make sure early configuration warning messages are displayed in GUI
- Fixed parsing of memory options
- Fixed infinite loop when more than one HDF/CD was used with UAE controller
- Fix for A1000 boot issue with full kickstart ROM
- Fixed patching of Cloanto A500/A4000 roms (broke in an earlier dev ver)
- Specify rpath for OS X executable (so plugins can find libs from fs-uae)
Known bugs:
- The PearPC fallback may not work properly. Please make sure you are using the qemu-uae plugin (check in fs-uae.log.txt that it is loaded properly) if you’re having problems
- AmigaOS 4.1 w/Picasso IV => sometimes weird frame rate (~36 FPS)
- When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time
- Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now

- Prepcard+ helps the user in managing other hardware on the PCMCIA port (Wifi, ethernet, modems and card readers)
- Ned is a commodity that lets you close the active window by pressing the "Esc" key
- Freewheel is a commodity that helps you in using the mouse wheel comfortably
- Updated HardWiz: phase5 68060.library to latest v46.15
- Updated icon.library to 46.4.385
- Updated pfs3aio to v2.3 (28-05-2014)
- HDToolBox is back (some users reported incompatibilities with HDinstTools)
- WhichAmiga now properly works with ACA accelerators (modrobert´s fix)
- EnvHandler is now offered as an option, and a warning message is displayed upon first install of BetterWB
- Tweaked Magic Menu Prefs: Pull-Down and Pop-Up menu usage is better than Smart Select (Thanks Retrofan)
- A few more minor fixes and tweaks

AROS: Port of version 1.23 of Odyssey web browser in progress
Currently Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Śmiechowicz is porting version 1.23 of the Webkit-based browser Odyssey developed by Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly to AROS. Version 1.16 was ported over two years ago but porting the latest version did not succeed due to missing support of certain MUI4-functionality of the AROS-reimplementation of MUI, called Zune.
The goal of the developer is to be able playing html-videos under AROS. An updated HTML-/JavaScript-engine has been already implemented. A first public version will be released together with version 2.0 of the AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop which is announced for mid-October/November. Users who support the this project are asked to donate money for the bounty project of Zune enhancement.

All old Inutilis games re-released
Timo Kloss wrote: I started programming on a Commodore Amiga computer when I was 12 and I made quite a lot of little games and even some applications. I used AMOS Basic, which was a cool thing to develop multimedia stuff without knowing a lot. Until 1996 I used the name Scum Amiga Software.
I think I found all more or less important AMOS projects on my hard disk and prepared usable ADFs from them (Amiga Disk Files). You can download them on this site and use them with emulators like WinUAE or real Amiga computers. "Der Rasenmäher" is a really funny game, but don't expect too much from the rest. I was young!
