Amiga Future: New downloads online
Press release: We are about to extend our download section of the Amiga Future Homepage. In 2008 we will double the number of full versions.

We also want to make avaiable PD-software. About 10 GB of additional downloads we want to make available. Since a few days the first 250 disks of the PD-game-set "Spielekiste" are available on the Amiga Future Homepage as DMS-files. Further disks of the set will follow. (We are looking for somebody who has got the disks 701-xxx!!!)

The publishing of the PD-software as well as of the full version take us money. But we hope we can win some new readers for the Amiga Future Print Magazine.

Issue 71 was published a few weeks ago and is available as German and English magazine in our Onlineshop. In 2008 the Amiga Future celebrates its tenth anniversary. Therefore we have a special offer for you on the start page of our shop. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Web-Browser: OWB 1.1 for AmigaOS 3
Jörg Strohmayer has ported the Origyn Web Browser to AmigaOS 3. This is not a port of the AmigaOS 4-version of OWB but a compilation of the normal SDL-based version of the program.

The OS3-port does not have such improvements like scrollbars or the toolbar. According to the author the program is "considerably slower".

OWB requires AmigaOS 3, an installed GeekGadgets environment as well as a graphic board (if available). Additionally a lot of free memory and a m68k-CPU with 1 Ghz should be there.

Direct download: OWB_m68k_1.1.lha (2,3 MB) (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: WarpOSEmu 16.39 emulates powerpc.library
Jörg Strohmayer's WarpOSEmu is a reimplementation of powerpc.library and allows executing WarpOS applications AmigaOS 4. The author points out that the emulation can only work with programs that are written to be very system-compliant, which is, reportedly, not the case with many WarpOS programs - scene demos in particular -, unfortunately.

Titles that use Warp3D may have problems with Radeon-based graphics cards. Switching to the software renderer possibly puts things right here. (cg) (Translation: cad)
