MPEG: SMPEG V0.4.4 - MPEG-1 player library for SDL
An Amiga version of the MPEG-1 player library 'SMPEG' with sound support has
been released, including a simple player program.
Video playback is based on the Berkeley MPEG player 'mpeg_play v2.2'. Sound
output is by way of a slightly modified version of the 'mpegsound-Library' of
Splay V0.8.2.
SMPEG thus supports MPEG audio (MP3), MPEG-1 video and MPEG system streams.
The library is subject to the GNU Library Public License (LGPL) Version 2 and
has been compiled with -m68020-60.
With 'plaympeg', a simple video player for testing the library is included (also required is the SDL library: CGX, AHI, etc.).
The C library interfaces are 'documented' in the file 'smpeg.h' and the MPEG*.h
files.

Geek Gadgets: Status after breakdown on 10th October 2002
On 10th October 2002, the Geek Gadgets project's hardware (gcc,
ixemul.library...) broke down. This affected the power supply as well as two
hard disks, one with the current system backup and another with the complete
system backup (about a year old).
Currently, only the mailing lists are active. Due to the low activities in the
lists, these have been reduced to 'gg-announce' and 'gg'.
The 'gg' list currently has a discussion about the status and the future of
Geek Gadgets.

Amiga Flame: 6th anniversary, Go For Goal, Space-Flight simulation
The Amiga online games magazine 'Amiga Flame' celebrates its 6th anniversary,
reports about an ice hockey game for AmigaDE with 'Go For Goal', and about a
Spaceflight simulation which is in the first development stage.
On 12th October 1996, Philip Cosby went online with Amiga Flame,
so the online magazine is celebrating its 6th anniversary. Philip Cosby is
glancing back to this origin in an article,
describes the current situation and the reason why he started Amiga Flame: "It
was as though Amiga users were in a dark room and could see no future, only
darkness. I had to light up that room and show them that there are many amazing
and exciting games in development."
With Go For Goal,
an ice hockey game for AmigaDE is in development. It is inspired by the C-64
game 'Hattrick'. In 'Go For Goal' you control one field player and the goal
keeper - the computer acts as opponent.
This game is being developed a.o. by Gabriel Hauber,
who is also involved in the Java AmigaDE classes 'Jami'.
The target platform is currently PDAs with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. At a
later stage, this will be customizable, so screen sizes from mobile phones up
to desktop computers will be supported.
For more information about the game you can mail Gabriel Hauber
(gabrielh@gabrielhauber.com).
Amiga Flame has found out,
that a new developer team is planning to develop a spaceflight simulation.
According to team member Johan Dams, the game will be along the lines of
Elite/Frontier. One of the ideas is that the game should be playable over the
Internet.
The developers are aware of this project's scope and are looking for talented
gfx artists and programmers to push the project forward. Interested
people should mail Johan Dams (amiga@sin.khk.be).

Chess: AmiChess and Crafty
Achim Stegemann writes:
"Although having been announced as soon as the beginning of October, the two
new chess programs AmiChess and Crafty have finally found their way into the
Aminet.
AmiChess is a GNUChess 5.0.4 based program with a GUI making use of MUI.
Alas, some users have already told me that AmiChess doesn't run on their Amiga.
I don't know the reason for this, as it works without problems on my computers
(Amiga, Amithlon and UAE). In this case I am asking all users with this problem
to mail me their Amiga configuration and a SnoopDOS log file.
The second program, Crafty, is an Amiga port of the very strong program by Bob
Hyatt. The most current version 18.15 has been ported. Crafty can only be
played under ixemul in pure text mode in a shell. In return it has proven
itself to be a very strong opponent!
The binaries of both programs have been compiled towards a 68020/68881
combination and thus should run on this or better CPU configurations. Due to
the source code's particularities, a PPC port is currently impossible. However,
fast x86 emulators like UAE, AmigaXL or Amithlon are an adequate substitute.
Further information can be found on my home page."
AmiChess runs from AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, MUI 3.8 and CPU 68020 with FPU 68881.
Crafty requires the ixemul.library V48+ and runs from CPU 68020 with FPU 68881.

individual Computers: Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper and PCI POST code display
Two new products are listed on individual Computers' Web site. These are
'Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper' and 'PCI POST code display' respectively. There are
exact delivery dates for both products. More information can be found under the
title link.
Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper is on one side a PCI board for PCs, Macs,
AmigaOne and Pegasos, and the other side (thus 'Flipper') can be stuck into the
Zorro Bus of a classical Amiga.
In addition, this board contains a connector for the A1200's clock port.
Beside the traditional Catweasel functions, support for diverse floppy disk
formats (C64 floppy, Amiga etc.), three new functions have been added:
- Support for digital Joysticks (VIC 20, C-64, Amiga)
- Mini-DIN connector for an Amiga 4000 keyboard. Whoever wants to use an
A2000 or A3000 keyboard can do so using a PS/2 adaptor which can be
bought in well-stocked PC shops.
- Additionally the board offers the possibility of inserting the C-64's
original Soundchip (SID). According to the manufacturer, greatest care
was taken to make sure that the chip really sounds exactly like in the
original computer.
PCI POST-Code display (Port 80 Display) is a diagnostics board for all
computers with PCI slots.
The PC BIOS has a built-in diagnostics help, which writes each step of the
self diagnosis, the so-called Power-On Selftest (short: POST), to the PCI bus.
On a two-digit display, the POST-Code Display shows the Hex code, which then
can be translated into plain language with the help of a table from the BIOS'
manufacturer.
As many errors are caused by the power supply, five LEDs additionally show the
state of all voltages on the PCI bus.
Further information about the products can be obtained through the title link.

Hardware: Ariadne 2 - purpose of the three I/O connectors
The Ariadne 2 ethernet board by Village Tronic has three additional I/O
connectors which so far hadn't been publicly documented.
Now, this weekend Oliver Gerler has had some time to spare and found out about
these ports' functions by way of reverse engineering. He presents the result of
this reverse engineering on his home page.
As this is no official documentation, the information should be regarded with
due caution.

I ask you to please take the time and drop in, look around, make suggestions, point out errors/mistakes and most importantly add more sites!! If this site has helped just one Amiga user my job is done but I believe it can do MUCH more!!
I would also like everyone to PLEASE spread the word about AmigaSource. If you like what you see please add a link/graphic to my site. I'll do the same for you! I have learned a lot the past year and plan to keep improving the site. I have a few new ideas up my sleeves. Stay tuned!

Event: Amiga + Retro Computing 2002 - Website now also in English
All parts of the page are now available in English as well. Small changes
have been done to the website design, and a free hotel booking service
has been added.
AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002 takes place on December 7th and 8th, 2002
at the Eurogress Aachen, Germany.
The main focus of the show will be on Amiga-related products. The biggest highlights will surely be the new mainboards "Amiga One" and "Pegasos". The title "Retro Computing" does not mean that this is a nostalgia meeting or even a fleamarket for old computers. Just the opposite. The exhibitors will show that the technologies of the home computers of the 80s are still improved today, and that they're still available as new products in the 21st century.
With AmigaOne and AmigaOS 4 on the one side, and Pegasos with MorphOS on the other side, the Amiga - multimedia wonderbox of the late 80s - is ready for a comeback with high-performance PowerPC processors. The "Digital Enviroment" of Amiga Inc. (USA) allows using adapted software on multiple mobile and home-based devices like desktop computers, mobile phones or personal digital assistants (so-called palmtops). This makes Amiga-technology perfectly suited for the future.
Probably the most interesting product from the Retro Computing area is the Commodore One (Codename: C-One). Developer Jeri Ellsworth is working on the ATX-sized motherboard for nearly two years now. As the name already suggests, it's the inofficial successor of the legendary C-64 by Commodore. Exchangable CPU modules can turn this board into nearly any computer of the 80s, among them is also the well-known Atari 2600 console that became famous in Germany with the game Pac-Man.
After big German magazines like Focus and Computerbild Spiele wrote about the project, it's first presented and sold in Europe at AMIGA + RETRO COMPUTING 2002.
We're especially happy that Jeri Ellsworth is making the long trip from USA to Germany to present the board in person.
The name Atari is closely tied to the computers of the 80s. Developers are still active today; The magazine ST-Computer and developers of the prestige products Calamus, Papyrus or Eclipse will surely be in Aachen, where visitors can also gather information about the exciting Coldfire project that wants to accelerate old Atari ST computers with a powerful processor.

Meeting: With the Hack Train to the 19th Chaos Communication Congress
Chaos Computer Club meets annually between Christmas and New Year's at the
Chaos Communication Congress. The 19th CCC (19C3) occurs from 27th to
29th December, 2002 in Berlin, Germany at the
House at Köllnischen Park. The Hack Train
to Congress starts the morning of 26th December, 2002 in Mainz, comes up along the Rhein,
through the Ruhr, and reaches Berlin. The return trip is on the 30th. The whole thing is only going
to happen however, when 200 people sign up (85 euros round trip). On that account, everyone
who wants to come is asked to sign up (non-binding) at http://zug.verbrennung.org.
The deadline is the first week in November!
The train from the RHEB comes through Mainz - Köln - Düsseldorf -
Bochum - Bielefeld - Hannover - Berlin, and will consist of two cars with about 100 seats. Further stops
along the way are no problem, just say so in advance.
The Chaos Communication Congress is a three day congress about technology, society and Utopia.
The congress offers lectures and workshops on a range of topics concerning Information Technology,
computer security, Internet, Cryptography, and the critically creative handling with technology, and
discourse over the effects of technological development on society.

After Guardian Dragon in the previous update, yet another release of
The Forces of the Pyramids, Kefrens (the 4th Kefrens production on
A.D.A.). This time a cool slideshow called
Masterpieces
from R.W.O. Nice presentation, good tune by Laxity and some cool
pictures... Released somewhere in 1992 I think...
Another new group appears on A.D.A., Limited Edition (LED) with a
demo called Mind Abuse. Released at Assembly 1996 where the demo
ended on 5th place. Hardcore tune, fast effects and lots of colors
...
A very famous demo from French group Complex,
Origin
was released at The Party 1993 and won. A very cool intro, classic
tunes by Clawz and nice visuals make this a very cool production all
around. Check it out.

SUBWAY production started
Michael Böhmer of E3B writes:
Not ignoring the difficulties within the Amiga market we at E3B decided
at least to start a small production run of the SUBWAY USB card also.
The open positive feedback by many Amiga users was not a small subject
to make this decision. Therfore we see the introduction of the SUBWAY
as a small gift to the users.
We hope to give a positive sign for the classic market and hop to fulfill all expectations of quality and innovation.
The smallness of this production run will cause some delays. The availability of this card will, as usually practised by E3B, be announced by the known dealers when the shipping really starts. Stay tuned.

Encryption software: PGP Version 2.6.3in
Under the title link you find a small download side by Andreas Schwarz. Among other things you find the current version (20010323) of the encryption software 'PGP 2.6.ín' there. However contrary to the Aminet version one needs the ixemul 48 library. Nevertheless the speed corresponds at least to that of the age-old asm version of the Aminet. The list of fixed bugs is rather long. It was compiled using the GCC 2.95.1.
The archives are also very well arranged. They contain nearly the complete English docs + en/es/fr/de language files. The execs are for 020+ and 060. Praise to the author.
