AmigaOS 4: TiMidity 0.5
TiMidity is a program to render and convert MIDI files. Because of the very positive feedback to the release of a first beta version of his AmigaOS 4 port released Alfred Faust a new version with more control elements added to the ReAction /Gadtools user interface.

With version 0.5 it is now possible to reach almost all options of TiMidity via the user interface. All messages are now shown in a special text area of the program window instead of being displayed in a separate window.

To be able to use TiMidity you need GUS patches and/or sound fonts that are available in the OS4 depot for download.

Codex Alpe Adria Team (e-mail)


Event: Codex Alpe Adria 2006 (Italy)
Codex Alpe Adria 2006, the friendly alternative computing event, will take place in five weeks - from June 30 until July 2 - in Udine, which is within a one-hour drive from three airports, as well as from the Alps, beaches, Venice, Trieste, Austria, Slovenia and other beautiful locations. Florence, Milan, Salzburg and other popular tourist destinations, as well as major shopping malls (open on Sunday), are within easy reach, also for day trips from the event.

Jens Schönfeld (developer of tools such as the C64 Ethernet interface) and Bernd Schmidt (author of the UAE Amiga emulation software) already confirmed their attendance, while other familiar retrocomputing and demoscene personalities are finalizing their plans. It has become known that several software and hardware developers plan to make important product announcements during Codex Alpe Adria 2006. This is your chance to meet these legends in person. Cloanto's Amiga staff will also be there, as they are behind the event.

The new Codex Alpe Adria venue, conveniently located next to the Udine north highway exit, has ample open air space, resident WiFi, and supports sleepovers (rooms are also still available at the official hotel, which is in the city center next to the train station, and is connected by bus to the event). Prizes of the Codex Alpe Adria demo competitions include a rare and very valuable C65 prototype and a C-One development system. Other activities include pizza and pasta at Ciccio's (followed by traditional Codex Alpe Adria absinthe) on Friday, a Friulian banquet on Saturday, a hard disk throwing contest, and numerous excursions.

Great flight connections are still available at bargain prices. For example, GBP 1.79 (plus taxes) can buy you a ticket from London Stansted (STN) or Frankfurt Hahn (HHN) directly to Udine/Trieste (TRS) airport. Ryanair also flies to nearby Treviso (TSF) airport from Brussels Charleroi (CRL), Dublin (DUB), Girona/Barcelona (GRO), Liverpool (LPL), Paris Beauvais (BVA) and Shannon (SNN). Other airlines for which it is still very convenient to purchase tickets are listed at the Codex Alpe Adria site. (snx)

Philippe Bourdin (ANF)


Daytime server set up
Many users of classic Amigas still work with Genesis (the AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 TCP/IP stack) that offers a builtin function for time synchronization via daytime. To close this gap decided Philippe Bourdin to program a daytime server and to make it available to the public via time.PAB-Software.de (run by: PAB Software & Design).

Separate software for time synchronization is not needed anymore, then.

The daytime server runs always with the current MEZ/MESZ and can therefore be used in all Central European countries. Manual corrections for summer/winter time become redundant as Genesis synchronizes the time when going online.

Faultless functioning and permanent availability can't be guaranteed, though; but the source code is available so anybody may send corrections or run his own daytime server in the own time zone.

Download of the AmigaOS version:
daytime-amiga.pl

Download of the Linux version:

Troika NG: Another mainboard announced
In a status report which is accessable under the title link Troika NG announced to buy a mainboard design. This would be a more powerful system than the own development called Amy'05.

With the help of the planned cooperation Troika NG can offer such a system for AmigaOS 4 faster and cheaper. Currently still it is not possible to show some pictures of the whole mainboard but of some details. These show the PowerPC-processor (G4/7448) with Tsi-109-Northbridge (preview 1) as well as the audio-ports (preview 2).

Concerning the own development of a low-end-system version 1.4 almost was reached. Therefore some more information will be announced for the next status report. (snx) (Translation: dr)

IRC-Log: ACK answers further questions from users
Adam Kowalczyk of ACK Software Controls has commented further questions to his announced PPC products in an IRC discussion. The main items in short:

The planned high end motherboard is preliminary called "Powervixxen TL" ("Thunder and Lightning"). The current specifications don't consider any onboard hardware, but the board should contain a PCIe-slot (16x), a PCI-slot with 66 Mhz as well as 4 PCI-slots with 33/66 Mhz.

The PCIe-slot is connected to a common PCI-Bus (66 Mhz) by means doesn't offer any speed advantage over PCI oder AGP, but it makes the use of actual graphics adapters possible. The integration of such a PCIe-slots requires graphics drivers available for AmigaOS 4.

The PCI-SLot with 66 Mhz is meant for a combined card (USB/SATA oder USB/PATA).

ACK Software Controls is privatly owned and occupies for employees. The current Amiga projects are additionally financed with the support of external investors. (cg) (Translation: ts)

Keyboard Driver: MMKeyboard 3.21
Guido Mersmann has released a bugfix update of his keyboard driver MMKeyboard for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and Amithlon. The new version fixes the bug that the MMKeyboard-hardware was not correctly supported lately.

MMKeyboard allows the use of all multimedia buttons of the system. For this purpose, it offers, besides the conventional execution types, macros as well, which allow, for example, scrolling of windows, browsing through screens and windows, or ejection of media, too. Of course, in addition to the multimedia buttons, the normal keys of the system can be assigned to functions as well, similar to FKey.

Should you enjoy the program, the author asks to consider a small donation. (snx)

MorphOS: Updated FAQ for KHTML.library
Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski has updated the questions and answers to his work-in-progress porting of the KHTML-engine to MorphOS.

The underlying sourcecode has been switched to Nokia's S60-webbrowser-project (amiga-news reported). By switching to S60 the KHTML.library should be faster, easier to update and more stable. If nothing unexpected happens then first public version should appear by the end of summer. Currently the souce code yet compiles without any problems, and the engine is initialized and working.

The KHTML-porting project is a Bounty-project with a current amount of over 2000 US$. (snx) (Translation: nba)

Many games now have cross references to the data bases CPCZone (Armstrad CPC), KLOV (Arcade-Automaten) and Guardiana (Sege Mega Drive). This makes it possible to compare the Amiga version with the Arcade original or the Sega-/CPC version.

Since our last announcement nearly 200 new games have been added. (cg) (Translation: iw)

Jump'n Run: New demo version of Mr.Beanbag (AGA)
The wrights of Mr.Beanbag, a classical Jump'n Run in Sonic-series style, are making a new playable demo version available. The game is now completely written in 68k-ASM, the last AMOS remnants have been removed.

The screen pane now moves a little differently when the game character jumps, so that the player can see where he is jumping to. The developers ask for feedback regarding this particular change. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Keyboard Driver: MMKeyboard 3.20
Guido Mersmann has released an update to his keyboard driver MMKeyboard for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and Amithlon. Besides error corrections in both the program and the documentation, the fourth and fifth mouse buttons can now be used under AmigaOS 4.

MMKeyboard allows the use of all multimedia buttons of the system. For this purpose, it offers, besides the conventional execution types, macros as well, which allow, for example, scrolling of windows, browsing through screens and windows, or ejection of media, too. Of course, in addition to the multimedia buttons, the normal keys of the system can be assigned to functions as well, similar to FKey.

Should you enjoy the program, the author asks to consider a small donation. (snx) (Translation: cad)
