New role-playing game for Classic Amigas in the works
Project Crashsite - that'll be the name of the new role-playing game for
Classic Amigas which is currently still under development. The role-playing
game in the science fiction genre will require a CD-ROM, 68040 (minimum)
and a graphics card.
Here an excerpt from the description:
»Mankind has reached for the stars and colonized a planet system.
Far away from Sol, Future II develops into a self-sufficient economy system with
own government. Not only has this government plans for Future II but the
Sol government also. The third in the trio is McJevl, the space flight company
who made the settling and terraforming possible. McJevl has plans too, and
gets a big chance to make them reality.
Here enters the player as member of the Future Security Corps, the system-internal
police. With a team consisting of up to six characters, law and order must be
preserved in Future II. A difficult task which gets even harder as a meteor
hits one of the planets and an eye-witness of the event is being murdered before
the eyes of the Future Security Corps.
Investigations lead to the fact that this is not the only death ...«
Up-to-date information on the game development are now available at
projektcrashsite.de.
If you want to get a first impression of what the Classic Amiga is in for
you should surf by.
Comments, suggestions and critics are welcome. (ps) (Translation: rh)

Audiosoftware: ProStationAudio compatible with G-Rex PCI bus boards
ProStationAudio is compatible with G-Rex PCI busboards by DCE and Terratec
PCI audio boards. Frank Mariak, DCE's software designer of drivers for
the G-Rex, confirms that drivers they just made for the 128i and 512i
Terratec models have passed preliminary tests for analog I/O with
ProStationAudio. Drivers for the 512i are being extended with S/P-DIF
support.
G-Rex makers and AudioLabs are actively cooperating to provide the best
compatibility between this new PCI busboard and ProStationAudio (a big
thank you to Frank for his continued and accurate work).
The G-Rex PCI busboard, available in two models for the A4000 and A1200
is a solution developed specifically for owners of P5/DCE CyberStorm and
Blizzard PPC and/or 68K CPU cards. The G-Rex 4000D replaces the stock
A4000 backplane, offering slots for PCI and Zorro cards. ProStationAudio
takes advantage as well of PCI graphic cards installed on the G-Rex.

AmiDog: AMP PPC-Movieplayer V2.04
Mathias "AmiDog" Roslund has made available version 2.04 of his movie player
'AMP' for PPC for download. AMP is a shareware program which can currently
play the following multimedia formats:
- MPEG1/2 video with sound (optional)
- MP2/MP3 audio streams
- FLI/FLC
- AC3 streams
Changes since AMP v2.03:
- Optimized the AC3 decoder, it's about 50% faster now.
- Added LORES option that will decode the MPEG at 1/4 of the original size (i.e. half width and half height). This is about twice as fast depending on bitrate and resolution.
- Fixed some bad init in the MPEGV decoder, should remove the jerky playback at startup.
- Fixed AC3 sync bug causing it to not work at all. Also, pausing may have caused any kind of strange effects.
- Made the subtitle decoder handle LORES as well.
- Fixed the "PPC Alignment Exception" problem.
- GUI: Replaced Gray with Mode and added options for Gray/Color with/without Lores.

Hardware: Water cooling for Cyberstorm-PPC
A do-it-yourself project which might be of special interest for overclockers,
since water is known to cool better than air does. This is said to run
trouble-free up to know - at this time the author has in mind to utilize
a peltier element together with the water cooling.
Even if one would not try this himself, it is vital to take a look at
the picture of this reconstructed CSPPC on the page - somehow fascinating :-).

Update of the ICQ user list
Due to other projects Markus Schmidt had less time to intensively care for the ICQ
user list. Hence a lot of registrations retained of which the number of 26 now have
been entered to the list. Six new post code sections were added by this. The number of
20 entries remaining will be entered to the list during the following days.
Markus Schmidt: "By this I ask anybody, who might already have been missing his/her
entry, to apologize and for a little understanding! The list is being maintained by me
only and by hand, which sometimes leads to a longer delay before the next update.
In the future I'll try to prevent longer queue times."

From today on the new newssite is online. After some experiments with colours and the formation of the head-, bottom- and news area the current layout has been created. As the dominating colour you will find a dark red with white characters - based on the traditional Amiga-colours. On the right border the information column has been placed again. There are messages which besides the current news in the middle will have a staying importance. Up to now only the newssite has been renewed but the rest will follow little by little.
The startpage of our Internet performance

Event: No more Amiga-shows in St. Louis
Since 1994 Bob and Diana Scharp have organized a great Amigashow in St. Louis and have spent much of their spare time for it. Now they decided to adopt a child which of course will have supreme priority and which lead to the decision of organizing no more shows. Now please read the complete article:
P.O. Box 672
Bridgeton, MO 63044
http://www.amiga-stl.com
bscharp@icon-stl.net
Fellow Amigans,
Over the years, Amigan-St. Louis, (Bob & Diana Scharp), have
brought you many years of Amiga fun and edification. Namely
the Amiga shows we hosted in St. Louis, MO. U.S.A. Since
early 1994, we have been involved with providing the Amiga
community with some of the best Amiga shows ever put on.
Eventually we formed our own company, Amigan-St. Louis, to
run these shows as they got too big to handle with just
volunteers.
We have had many famous people and groups attend, exhibit,
and showcase their products at our events. Some notable
guests include a few Astronauts - Steve Nagel and Linda Godwin,
a singing and dancing group - ANNEX, some celebrities - all of
the various Amiga owners, presidents, staff. Notables such
as Petro Tyschtschenko, Mitch Stone of Boycott Micro$oft,
radio host Jim Singler, plus too many famous Amigans to
mention.
We have not only hosted shows, but held banquets that have
become famous by themselves. Who would ever forget the
reintroduction of Amiga with Gateway, or even better with
Bill McEwen. Then there was the ROAST of Petro Tyschtschenko.
We celebrated Petro's many years of service to the Amiga
community and his retirement the day of the banquet at our
show Amiga2001. That will live in our hearts for many years.
Unfortunately, we cannot continue the shows for now. There
will be no Amiga 2002© show, sponsored by us. The good news,
is the reason why.
Diana and I are adopting a child. Our lives will be even
busier than usual this year and next, so we will have to
pass the torch, at least for awhile, to others. Although
we are not ruling out the possibility of a future show
sponsored by us, we just can't possibly do any for now.
We hope you will understand. We hope you will keep the
Amiga in your hearts. Hey, we hope to see some of you at
other shows and events. Maybe we will be able to bring
our newest Amigan with us.
So for now, we bid farewell to the show side of our
business, but please consider purchasing some of our latest
products from our company.
"Petro ROAST tape"*.................... only $ 15 + $ 5 s&h
"Amiga Antenna balls".................. only $ 3 + $ 1 s&h
"Amiga Coffee Mug (no.2)............... only $ 12 + $ 5 s&h
"Other Bounce-back video tapes......... see web site
* Petro ROAST tape will be available in a few weeks.
For other products, see our web page.
Mail your orders to:
Amigan-St. Louis
PO Box 672
Bridgeton, MO 63044
Please make checks payable to Amigan-St. Louis, in U.S. funds.
Postal Money orders are also accepted. No credit cards or
pay pal.
You can also visit our web site for details, at:
http://www.amiga-stl.com
As a final note on Amiga shows in the U.S., I understand that
Kermit Woodall of Nova Design is putting one together for the
east coast. It is supposed to be held the last weekend of March 2002.
For information, keep an eye on amiga.org and other news sites.
It has been a great pleasure working with many of you, and
showcasing the Amiga and it's capabilities. I wish all of you
great success, and we hope to see you all again.
Best Regards,
Bob & Diana Scharp (ps) (Translation: dr)

Tool: MySQL Simple Query Tool MySQT_0.1a
MySQL Simple Query Tool is an utility that will let you to do queries to
a MySQL database with an MUI Gui. MySQT is actually an early alpha version.
That means, it has been programmed like some Kro$oft software and will
only let you to do "SELECT" queries on small tables. Yes, I have not
implemented dynamical memory allocation yet, but this will come.
Before starting MySQT don't forget to edit icon tooltypes to fit your
database access.

Database: MySQT V0.1a
Alpha version 0.1a of the MySQL GUI (MUI) 'MySQT' was released. The 'MySQL Simple Query Tool'
in this early alpha version offers the possibility to make SELECT requests from smaller
tables via GUI. The limitation for smaller tables follows from the fact that this early alpha version
still has no dynamic memory management.
It is required to enter your database's access data to the tooltypes before start.

IRC: An Amiga #channel about the future....
Hello people!
Since there just was advertising for #diehard, I would like to show
an alternative:
At irc.openproject.org there is a young channel (#amiga) that is said to be
about Ami-OpenSource (AmigaDE). For the time being there isn't much up. Some don't
have an Amiga anymore, some are Amiga Inc. employees, some develop similar projects
coming from the Amiga world, some are active for the current Amiga scene or are people like
you and me.
So, who feels like dropping in is heartily invented.
Meta-server: irc.openprojects.net
Channel : #amiga

Eyetech: Information about the AmigaOne
Alan Redhouse, Eyetech, posted some
statements
about the AmigaOne regarding AmigaOS 4.0 and the boot sequence on the
AmigaOne mailing list.
«1. OS4.0 is based on OS3.9 which does need 3.1 ROMs
2. Backwards engineering/testing for OS3.0 compatibility would
add weeks onto the already late OS4.0
3. Of course some of this stuff can be put in flashrom/hard disk but
this would require a hugh effort in retesting/linking bits of code from
various sources adding further to the cost/delay of OS4.0.
4. As I have said several times before on this list the boot sequence
for the A1/OS4.0 is:
PPC boots from flash ROM & initialises A1 main board, including
any A1 graphics and any available A1 board boot devices (HD,
CDROM, SCSI, USB, etc. drivers) PPC loads 68K emulator from flash rom and
executes an emulator reset Emulator executes A1200 boot sequence which
looks round for boot devices (A1200 HD, FD, PCMCIA & A1 HD, CDROM, SCSI,
USB etc) Emulator boots OS4.0 from the highest priority boot device.
5. From OS4.2 the bootstrap loader (& main drivers) will be in the
A1 flash ROM and the 68k emulator will only look on the A1 board for
boot devices (inc USB floppies, CDROM's etc etc)
Hope this helps
Alan" - Eyetech»

A real Amiga IRC channel for real Amiga users
Amiga Users!
- Tired of going to channels on net after net searching for
some real amiga users who use real AMIGAs?
- Tired of being in channels where there seems to be an
ongoing linux or windows chat?
- Tired of being ragged on by clone owners who think your
silly to be on amiga still?
- Feel like trying a channel where amiga is the only topic
and there is talk about everything from amiga hardware to
software?
- Does the thought of an amiga emulator bother you?
- There is such a place, it's called #DIEHARD and its on
arcnet! Feel free to stop in,and be sure your using your
amiga!
If you answer yes to the above questions, then maybe this is
the channel for you. It was created by amiga users for amiga
users who were tired of emulator, windows and linux being
talked about in so called amiga channels.
Below are some popular servers to get there:
de.arcnet.vapor.com
ch.arcnet.vapor.com
se.arcnet.vapor.com
uk.arcnet.vapor.com
us.arcnet.vapor.com

Kultpower.de - server move and new AmigaJoker reviews
Kultpower.de is now placed on a much bigger server (resp. in
a bigger package at the provider), this should solve the problems with shortage
of webspace and restricted data transfer for a longer period of time.
Therefore can all review articles, that will be released from now on,
be made available in better quality (less compression).
There are also at once 22 new AmigaJoker reviews taken from the issues
9-12/1991: Abandoned Places, Apidya, Battle Isle, Blues Brothers,
Bundesliga Manager Professional, Cruise for a Corpse, Die Kathedrale,
Eye of the Beholder, Gunboat, Hunter, James Pond 2, Kings Quest 5,
Knights of the Sky, Life and Death, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, Magic
Pockets, Manchester United Europe, Mega lo Mania, R-Type 2, Silent
Service 2, The Return of Medusa, Thunderhawk, Utopia. With these there are now
already 79 AmigaJoker reviews of Amiga classics.
Besides that you can now find in the AmigaJoker database for every game a direct
link to the details of the game at the games museum "The Legacy".
For all fans of non Amiga classics there are new PowerPlay reviews taken from
the issues 11/94 and 1/95:
Colonization (MS-DOS), CreatureShock (MS-DOS CD-ROM), DawnPatrol
(MS-DOS CD-ROM), Earthsiege (MS-DOS), Ecstatica (MS-DOS), HellonEarth
(MS-DOS), IronAssault (MS-DOS CD-ROM), KingsQuest7 (Windows CD-ROM),
Lemmings3 (MS-DOS), Lollypop (MS-DOS), MasterofMagic (MS-DOS), PoliceQuest4
(MS-DOS CD-ROM), SystemShock (MS-DOS), U.S.NavyFighter (MS-DOS CD-ROM),
UnderaKillingMoon (MS-DOS CD-ROM), Warcraft (MS-DOS CD-ROM).
The complete number of Powerplay reviews is now grown to tidy 349.
