MorphOS: VLC 0.9.6f Beta1

Some video codecs (mov, mp4, h264) may have some display errors. In these cases you have to set the required aspect ratio manually. The specific MorphOS parameters "cgx_overlay", "cgx_vmem" and "ahi" are still not included but "cgx_wpa" and "ahi_dev" work yet.
For further information please have a look at the readme.

individual Computers: Delfina - The DSP makes the difference!
Press release Soundcards for the Amiga are continuously popular, but only one soundcard has a freely programmable DSP - a specialized audio processor. With this concept, the Delfina strictly follows the old Amiga idea to do as much work as possible with specialized hardware in order to take load off the main processor. We have taken over the Delfina from Petsoff in 2003, but only published a software update once.
After more than four years, we are especially happy that Axel Schneider has taken over the development of the delfina.library in his spare time since October 2007. The original author Teemu Suikki (Finland) has published large parts of the Delfina software under different open-source licenses. For the first time, we are publishing the source code for drivers of a product that you can still buy in the shops and that is actively developed. Although it seems to be quite fashionable to increase prices for classic Amiga hardware, we don't see a reason to follow that trend. The price of the Delfina "flipper edition" of 129.- EUR (*) is still more than 140.- EUR below the price of the predecessors made by Petsoff.
The new library also allows connecting the Delfina to a 26-pin expansion port of our Zorro cards like Buddha and X-Surf (older models). Crashes that occured especially on fast accelerators and under high DSP-load are probably completely eliminated. There are still some issues when playing back web radio streams with a bitrate of 256 kbit or more that we could not trace back to the delfina library. Find out more in the readme file of the archive.
The software support for the older Delfina cards (made 1999 or earlier) is still in the drivers, but it is not maintained or tested anymore. We recommend the use of a new card made by individual Computers.
Download: DelfLib417b1.lha (133 KB)
Picture archive as addendum to the manual: delfina_pictures.zip (421 KB)
* = recommended retail price including 19% VAT. Prices at resellers may differ. Shipping cost added when mail-ordering. (snx)

Origyn Web Browser 1.2 and 1.20
The AmigaOS and AmigaOS 4-ports of the Origyn Web Browser (OWB) are available in version 1.2 and 1.20. In version 1.20 the scrolling was improved and in version 1.2 (68k-version) fixes some bugs of the SDL library concerning the keyboard input.
Furthermore the speed was increased and you can now open links with the target "_blank" (in the same frame). GIF-animations cannot be played any longer because it slows down the browser too much. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Review: PCI-Board Mediator TX with graphic board Radeon 9200
For the new PCI-board Mediator TX developed by Elbox a first review was published under the title link.
The author is very satisfied concerning delivery components, support as well as functionality. There were only problems with the Radeon graphic board because the model which was chosen by the tester was still not supported by the first driver version. But Elbox published an update of the driver and then it worked. Finally the author had to modificate the Infinitiv tower in order to use the graphic board.
