Amiga Immortal 3 - Music from the Amiga legends
After over three-and-a-half years of development time, the long-expected third part of the Music CD series "Amiga Immortal" is finally available since the middle of June. Over 150 minutes of elaborately arranged music from various games for the Commodore Amiga are to be found on two CD's full to the brim.
All pieces were rerecorded exclusively for this album, most of them precisely by the interpreters who once composed them: Jochen Hippel, Allister Brimble, Bjorn Lynne, and of course Chris Hülsbeck, too, among others, contributed tracks - the latter is represented on the album with 2 brand-new arrangements from the legendary "Turrican" series as well as an orchestra recording of the theme music of "Apidya." Jan Zottmann underwrote responsibility for the production, as in "Immortal 2," who was actively supported by Thomas Böcker from Merregnon Studios.
Here is the complete track list:

C-Compiler: vbcc 0.8j Patch 1
There is a patch for the C-compiler vbcc written by von Volker Barthelmann (compiler-kernel) and Frank Wille (Amiga specific adapations):
- Due to an unnoticed problem by replacing PhxAss with vasmm68k in the build-process the _LVO symbols were no longer assembled and were missing in amiga.lib
The compiler supports AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, PowerUp and WarpOS and corresponds ISO-C which means ISO/IEC 9899:1989 as well as part of the newer standards ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99).

AmigaOS 4: SimCoupe 1.01
The porting of the SDL based emulator SimCoupe by Ventzilav 'drHirudo' Tzvetkov has been available since today in version 1.01. Among other innovations joysticks are being supported now.
SimCoupe emulates the "SAM Coupé" - a Z80 based 8 bit home computer, which was built in 1989 by Miles Gordon Technology. Although this computer had, compared with other 8 bit computers of that time, relatively advanced features, it was never very successful, as the 16 bit computers (Amiga, Atari, Macintosh and PC) had already been standard. Nevertheless some software titles for this computer were published, which demonstrate the advantages of its sound and graphic abilities.
The innovations in detail:
- Joystick support (via AmigaInput)
- Better Pro-Dos boot handling
- New indicators to show the extra LMPR bits: ROM0, ROM1 and WPROT in the Debug Window
- Enhanced HDF file handling to accept v1.1 images with a large identity structure
- Improved ATA hard disk emulation
- Misc sourcecode improvements and bugfixes
- Removed unnecessary for the AmigaOS compile files from the archive, thus smaller overall size
