Windows development suite with Amiga/68k crosscompiler
AmiDevCpp is based on the free development suite Dev-C++, but the generic compiler has been replaced with an AmigaOS crosscompiler. Thus, it becomes possible to develop and compile programs for the Amiga (m68k) while using the Windows environemt.

The integrated development suite offers a decent and mighty work tool (screen shot). With the packet system even beginners are able to install new includes and libraries.

Most packets also include examples which work instantly, even programmer newbies can make their first Amiga program without typing a single line of source code.

The development suite comes with a windows typical installer,which is multi lingual and includes a deinstaller, too.

Bug reports, critics and suggesions are most welcome if placed at the programmer board by amiga-news.de. (snx) (Translation: ub)

MorphOS: Software news up to 02.10.2005

DiskSpeed 4.9

DiskSpeed, the program for determining harddisk access speed, was ported from AROS to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.

Download: DiskSpeedPPC.lha (82 KB)

ezTCP 0.6

In the meantime, the PPC-native TCP/IP stack ezTCP by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is available in alpha version 0.6. The problem with domain names starting with a number was solved. Additionally, together with the separate usergroup.library, which is now ported as well, the use of programs based on the ixemul.library is also possible.

Download

usergroup.library 4.1

The usergroup.library was separated by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin from his TCP/IP stack project and serves solely compatibility purposes. It is merely required by programs based on the ixemul.library in interaction with the TCP/IP stack, even though Amiga operating systems represent only single user systems anyway.

Download

XDME 1.84

XDME concerns a texteditor that was ported to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.

Download: XDME-PPC.lha (1,4 MP)

XInvaders3D 1.3.6

XInvaders3D is a clone of the game Space Invaders (Screenshot) based on vector graphics, which was, likewise, ported to MorphOS by Ilkka Lehtoranta.

Download: XInvaders3D.lha (94 KB) (snx) (Translation: cad)

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 This has been a rather quiet news month, with few strong stories to 
report. However, sometimes what you lack in quantity you make up for 
in quality. One story in particular is an eye-opener and, we think, 
very important. That would be the entry of a new manufacturer in the 
Amiga One arena. Check out our lead story on the Guru Meditation / 
Troika partnership. Great news!
 Also good news, for those who want to read a paper Amiga magazine in 
the wilds of North America, is the new arrangement announced by 
"Total Amiga" just today. Glad to see this effort undertaken, and 
"kudos" to all involved.
 Hmmmmm. Maybe it wasn't such a quiet news month, after all.
 We hope you enjoy this issue.
 Regards,
 Brad Webb,

Gothenburg, Sweden, September 24th, 2005

Guru Meditation and Troika NG are pleased to announce a joint
partnership in creating the next generation AmigaOS 4.0 motherboard.

Ever since Guru Meditation first heard about Troika, they gathered 
every little bit of information about their proposed board. Finally, 
contact was made.

Troika, who greatly respects the business Guru Meditation has built up
in short time, found it very easy to partner with them.

Resources provided by Guru Meditation are now being utilized by 
Troika's project "Prometheus". Troika believes that with the 
additional resources that Guru Meditation is providing they double or 
triple their effective man hours to finish the project faster, and 
thus bring the board to production sooner!

Andreas Loong of Guru Meditation said, "With this injection we hope to
see the board ready and in production earlier than expected. It also
means some interesting possibilities for the future.". He further 
added, "Looking at the specifications and the current shortage of 
hardware in the market spurred us on further, and we believe this will 
be a very nice addition, especially as a developer board. However, 
developer boards doesn't rule out other configurations, and we are 
confident that Troika and Guru Meditation is a winning combination".

Josh B. of TroikaNG commented "Guru Meditation is very well known for
good quality service and support in the AmigaOne Community. We are so
pleased for Guru Meditation to bring additional resources into the
Troika design".

The Amy'05 is a mini-ITX form factor computer based around the PowerPC 
750FX microprocessor. It is intended to be a low cost, legacy free 
system aimed at the embedded/home server market running versions of 
Linux and the Amiga OS4 operating system.

Although modest by modern hardware standards, Amy'05 has been designed 
in such a way as to leverage the highest performance possible with 
enough system throughput to make the best use of the PPC processor. 
The design has very much been balanced for performance and price. 

Guru Meditation & Troika NG

/Guru Meditation/ was formed late 2003 and started off very modestly
as a reseller of Amiga equipment and AmigaOne hardware. In mid 2004 
the decision was made to acquire the rights for Directory Opus to 
bring it back to the Amiga platform as the start of a new program of 
expansion to help kickstart the Amiga market back into life.

/Troika NG/ formed to provide the next generation in PPC computers,
based on the Troika "reference design". The final goal being, the next
generation Amiga at a very reasonable price/performance.

30 September, 2005

Total Amiga magazine is happy to announce a reduction of about 25% in 
the cost of a 4 issue subscription posted to the USA or Canada. To 
acheive this we have come to an agreement with Greg Condon, from the 
PANORAMA Amiga user group of Vancouver, to print a second run of the 
magazine in Canada. Printing in Canada reduces our postage costs both 
within Canada and to the USA enabling us to dramatically reduce the 
cost of a subscription.

A four issue subscription to either the USA or Canada will now cost 
only 15UKP (about 26USD) as compared to the the old price of 20UKP 
(35USD). Copies of the current issue of Total Amiga will now cost USA 
and Canadian buyers only 4.50UKP (8USD) compared to 6.00UKP 
previously. Back issue prices will also be reduced once back issue 
from the Canadian print runs are available.

Please note: all USD conversions are approximate, based on the current
exchange rate at xe.com.

As a "thank you" for their support, and to reflect our reduced costs, 
all existing subscribers in the USA or Canada with two or more issues 
outstanding on their subscription will have an extra issue added free 
of charge. This will happen automatically. Subscribers who have 
supplied us with an e-mail address should receive a personal e-mail 
confirming this over the weekend.

Orders for Total Amiga subscriptions to the USA and Canada will 
continue to be taken via the Total Amiga web site (where you can pay 
using your credit/debit card via PayPal) or through ForeMatt Home 
Computing who can accept credit card orders over the phone. The new 
US/Canada pricing is available on the Total Amiga web site now.

Total Amiga is also available through local Amiga dealers in many 
countries. We will be offering dealers in the USA and Canada a similar 
postage cost reduction from the next issue onwards. If you are a 
dealer interested in stocking the magazine please visit our web site 
for more information.

We hope this price reduction will benefit our existing subscribers in 
the USA and Canada and will also enable more Amiga users in those 
countries to enjoy the only English language print Amiga magazine 
currently available.

Total Amiga would like to thank Greg for volunteering to take on the 
responsibility of printing and distributing the magazine in North 
America.

Software Hut is pleased to announce that we are the North American
distributor of the newest version of this popular emulator. This is a 
must have release of the ever popular Amiga Forever emulator. For the 
thousands of our customers who have bought previous versions of this 
great program you know that Amiga Forever allows users to turn their 
PCs into virtual Amigas. Because of the speed of today's PCs, you can 
run many applications much faster than you ever could with an actual 
060 equipped 4000 Tower.

Among the new features of Amiga Forever 2005 include 2 full dual 
layer, professionally mastered DVDs packed with Amiga videos that are 
available nowhere else. There is almost 6 hours of video including the 
much sought after full version of the Deathbed Vigil. Also included is 
a CD with Amiga Forever 2005 including these great features:

- Original Amiga ROM and OS files (all versions from 1.0 to 3.X)

- Additional emulation and drivers (RTG, SCSI, TCP/IP, AHI, CDTV, 
  CD32, etc.)

- Preconfigured WinUAE and WinFellow emulation engines with 
  auto-updates

- Preinstalled games, demos and applications (web browser, paint, 
  etc.)

- Support for thousands of downloadable Amiga games and applications

- Amiga Explorer and Amiga Files data sharing framework

- Optionally-bootable CD, based on KX Light (boots any PC into Amiga 
  OS)

- Special features and gallery of items of historical interest

- Much, much more...

Even though Cloanto has added 2 full DVDs and all these features the
price is still the same as previous versions! A full version of Amiga 
Forever 2005 is only $ 54.95 and an upgrade is only $ 34.95. For 
existing owners, the upgrade is the full 2 DVD, 1 CD version and is 
available to anyone who has an existing version (any version # from 1 
to 6) of Amiga Forever installed and who has access to their Amiga 
Forever serial #. Check our web site for more info on all the new 
features and Videos and to order your copy today at:

I've successfully compiled Battle of Wesnoth.

The Battle for Wesnoth is a free, turn-based strategy game with a 
fantasy theme, and is now available for Amiga OS4.
Fight to regain the throne of Wesnoth, of which you are the legitimate 
heir, or use your dread power over the Undead to dominate the land of 
mortals, or lead your glorious Orcish tribe to victory against the 

humans who dared despoil your lands. Wesnoth has many different sagas
waiting to be played out. You can create your own custom units, and
write your own schenarios - or even full-blown campaigns. you can also
challenge your friends - or strangers - and fight multi-player epic
fantasy battles.

to run it (for now):

Assign USR: YourPath:path_where_wesnoth_exec_is
run wesnoth

f.e.
assign USr: DH2:Wesnoth
run wesnoth

When it starts, it is a little bit slow. so don't worry for the black 
screen. It has many options that can be passed to the command line. So 
a Gui (DANIEEEELLLL!!!) it is needed as usual..

Enjoy

Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for Unix-like 
systems (BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, and other 
platforms.

This is the fourth release of my port of Apache 1.3.33 to AmigaOS 4.0.
It includes support of PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 3.23.49 and has now a 
working cgi-module.
The previous version with PHP4-support is also included. It is 
possible to run these two versions at the same time, so you can test 
your code under both environments.

All important features are working now, so this is the first full 
release. This does not mean that developement is stopped ;-)

* Apache has now a working cgi-module! The cgi-code was totaly 
  rewritten   using AmigaDOS-functions and should be quite fast. 
  Please notice the   "How to use CGI"-section.

  package available on os4depot.net.

* You can't limit execution-time using the set_time_limit()-function.

* http- and ftp-streams are buggy.

21 September, 2005

Version 0.8.28 of the portable Amiga emulator has at last been 
released, at great cost to the sanity of the maintainer.

Binaries are available for AmigaOS (both AmigaOS4 and classic 68k 
machines) and for the AmigaOS clones MorphOS and AROS as well as a 
Linux, MacOS X and BeOS.

This version features a tweaked AmigaOS graphics driver which now 
works properly on AmigaOS4 update #3 and the OS4.0 build offers better 
performance, an improved SCSI emulation (this lets you access host 
CD-ROM drives directly), AmigaInput support and at last a useful CD32 
emulation.

Two OS4.0 builds are available - one which uses the native graphics 
driver and one which uses the SDL library. The former does not yet 
support E-UAE's Picasso96 emulation, so if you want to emulate an 
Amiga with a graphics card, use the SDL version for now. Otherwise, 
the non-SDL version offers better performance (especially for the 
CD32 emulation).

MorphOS: AIFF/AIFF-C, RIFF WAVE and Sun/NeXT audio player for AmiNetRadio
Three new player plugins for AmiNetRadio 3.x have been released by Christian 'tokai' Rosentreter.

wave.player 3.10

The player reads RIFF WAVE (Resource Interchange File Format Audio Waveform) files and supports mono and stereo samples which are stored in 8bit - 32bit linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) or with A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit or Float 64bit compression.

aiff.player 3.3

This player adds support for Apple's Audio Interchange File Format. It reads mono and stereo AIFF/AIFF-C files, and as wave.player it supports samples stored with 8bit - 32bit PCM or compressed samples with A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit or Float 64bit data.

au.player 3.2

The last one of the trio is for Sun/NeXT Audio files. It supports interleaved mono and stereo data which is stored in Big- or Little-Endian byte order. Like both other players it understands 8bit, 16bit, 24bit and 32bit linear PCM and A-law, µ-law, Float 32bit and Float 64bit compressed samples.

All three players come with documenation and are freeware. You can get them at the title link. (snx)

MorphOS: Alphaversion 0.4 of ezTCP has been published
The PPC-native TCP/IP-Stack ezTCP by Pavel 'Sonic' Fedin is now available in its alpha version 0.4. ezTCP is a MorphZone-Bountyproject with a current donation status of 1095,73 US-$.

What's new in this version:

1. Memory trashing bug at last fixed. Try the DNS resolver, now it should work reliably with or without DOMAIN records in the resolv.conf.

2. Version of bsdsocket.library updated to 4. Now many applications will run.

3. CLI environment tools (Ping, ifconfig, route) now report if they can't open bsdsocket.library instead of quitting silently.

Remaining known problems:

1. usergroup.library is still not built, but it's on the way. So - no compatibility with ixemul.library yet. But you can try to override this by copying usergroup.library from AmiTCP (Genesis) distribution to LIBS:.

2. ezTCP kernel can't be used as a Genesis kernel replacement yet. There is some problem with the configuration, the kernel just hangs when loading configuration files (the same problem as Slawek Kaminski reported with previous versions). So I don't advice to change the location of configuration files for now. But you still play with this on your own, nice if you succeed. I just have no time to investigate this yet, I'm already a little not in my timeline and need to speed up.

3. ezTCP doesn't for check for presence of another bsdsocket.library in memory before startup. So be careful before starting it, ensure that no other stack is running.

(2) and (3) are being worked on in the background, (1) is currently a top priority (snx) (Translation: nba)
