Eternity - New Distributor of the MAS-player
Since October 1st, 2000 Eternity took over the distribution of the MAS-Player in cooperation with Dirk Conrad. The MAS-Player is a hardware MP3-player that can be used with every Amiga parallel interface. The program plays MP3's in 18bit and 44kHz with very low CPU usage and is therefore the best and cheapes solution for playing MP3-files with an Amiga computer.

A techpage will follow. Eternity will ask Thomas Wenzel if he would support the MAS-Player with his AmigaAmp. Eternity will offer a 6 month guarantee.

Examples of Usage:
  • Amiga 4000/A1200 with MAS-Player. Listen to MP3-music without using the PPC or 68k processor. Your processor is available for other tasks
  • Amiga CDTV with MAS-Player could play MP3's directly from CD.
  • Amiga 500/600 with MAS-Player could be a replacement for your hifi-radio. The integrated MP3-player-software uses PAL. There for you can use a TV.
  • Amigas located in professional soundstudios could encode MP3 (using the processor) and play MP3's at the same time (using the MAS-Player)

SoundFX Status
What is build in and what is planed for SoundFX version 4.1?
  • The MPEG-Saver were totaly rewriten (now with own presets)
  • Enrico Meyer compiled the new version of LAME without using libSoundFile thats why it works with SoundFX now.
  • The author Stefan Kost encoded the first whole CD by using the batch-processor.
  • The SoundFX-menu contains now a MRU-list (MostRecentUsed).
  • And a lot more bugfixes (thanks to the SoundFX-mailinglist).

New LAMEbeta Version 3.87
New LAME beta version 3.87! Ok, first off, since version 3.87 LAME no longer works with SecondSpin without changing the code and recompiling, thus LameSpin no longer works, and is no longer included, sorry! :/

On the good note this version is slightly faster, especially the PPC version! ;) (Note, WarpOS still has problems .. this is most likely either ppclibemu or WarpOS's fault since it works fine with PowerUP and MorphOS) From now on the 060 and PPC version use LAME's internal mpglib for decoding, so if you still want to use mpega.library (which is much faster), use the 040 version...

New CD-Rom for Movieshop
Starding today the 3rd issue of 'Space-Effects' is available from Elastic Images. The CD contains video sequences that can be used in (mainly Movieshop) video productions. The scenes are available as Movieshop's own sequence format and as single-frame-sequences, so you can use the clips with every Movieshop version.

Every clip can be integrated in a currently opend Movieshop project directly from CD. A short preview is available at the homepage at 'Software/Video-CDs'.

AmiWolfenDoom Website Moved, and one Appeal
The AmiWolfenDoom homepage has moved and is now available at www.antibyte.de (titlelink). Robert Wahnsiedler is still on the hunt for a person that is able to modify the ADoom-engine for making Ninja-, Simpson and Batman-Doom possible. According to the downloadrates of AmiWolfenDoom the interest of the users is very high.

For the modifycations you must have C/Assembler skills and you have to read the docs. There are no major changes to make but the DEH support must be revisde (patch of the internal graphic/sound/textroutines by using a Ascii-file with commands). For example there is no recognition of text. This causes games that use these kind of functions to crash.

appeal
Furthermore Robert Wahnsiedler is looking for someone who is willing to modify the game Imperium Terranum II for the Amiga community. The sourcecode is public available and there is an absolutely resourceful StarTrek addon available. The main problem is that it does not run very good on graphics boards, the only way is to use a tool like NewMode, but this is a not very stable solution. If you are interested, please contact Robert Wahnsiedler.

Amiga Arena News
The TextLoaderNG keyfile is now freely available for all Amiga users! Every visitor of Amiga Arena can download the keyfile. After releasing it for Amiga Arena CD ROM users Pascal Gisin agreed to release the keyfile for all users. I would like to say thank you for doing so!

TextLoaderNG is a Hex editor with many functions, for example:
  • Filter for Word, Wordperfect, MSWork, ANSI, FinalWriter, Wordworth and many more
  • HTML-code removing
  • converter
  • text encoding

The development of TextloaderNG will go on and the program will run without a keyfile in future.

SENDER V1.0 - AMIGA Program with Windows Touch
'SENDER' is a small freeware program to move or copy any file to any directory from the Workbench. It leans on the WINDOWS send menue, but uses a handy AppIcon.

'SENDER' is easy to install (I just tried it successfully) and one can further configure it for his needs after the basic installation.

The titlelink leads you to a short description of the program, and to the download link (80 KB).

VMC-ISDN V3 is now Online Officially!
Thanks to the many friendly beta-testers we now are able to offer an official version for the new VMC-ISDN software for all of the interested, and each owner of an Amiga ISDN board.

Though this version still doesn't has all the features VMC is currently working on, but it fits to make users realize there is no faster driver for ISDN boards for the Amiga. This version also contains complete example configuration files for every German Call-by-Call internet providers, and Miami or MiamiDeluxe.

Since like all the time users have been asking for prices, functions or limitations of the drivers an extensive AmigaGuide document was included, which hopefully answers all these questions.

County Court Cologne confirms "Explorer"-Dissuasiveness against Heise
«In the quarrel about the use of the "Explorer" term the county court Cologne confirmed their dissuasiveness against the Verlag Heinz Heise by a just pronounced judgement.

The publishing house will immediately appeal to this not so surprising judgement by the county court Cologne, and they intent on having better chances of success at the next instance, especially at the background of the recently "Explorer"-decision in Duesseldorf. Furthermore the Verlag Heinz Heise in the meantime applied at the German office for patents and trademarks the erease of the disputed trademark "Explorer".»

fxSCAN SE No Longer Part of ScanQuix 5
RBM decided some time ago not to purchase serial numbers for fxSCAN SE versions from us, any longer. As a result of this the at this time delivered and long before produced ScanQuix CDs admittedly come with fxSCAN SE, but without a serial number cause RBM no longer owns a license for these. Due to this we beg you to refrain from asking us for free serial numbers, cause these were not payed by RBM and will not be deliverd by us afterwards. Because of that fxSCAN from now only can be purchased as a full version. Please, refrain from using serial numbers from other people, cause this would be unlawful.

New Version of InstallerNG
On the "Official InstallerNG Site" there is a new version for the well known Installer replacement, the InstallerNG, available for free download. A number of small bugs were fixed, and a new function was added. Attention: the support for MEDIA functions basing on datatype still is under development and therefore might be buggy. Furthermore the example scripts were worked over, and the manual was adapted.

H&P


Haage & Partner Reachable Again
During works on the company building telephone line was damaged. Due to this from Thursday to Monday H&P wasn't fully reachable, and most of all they could not receive e-mails. Now everything is working again and H&P now has a DSL connection, too.

H&P used the "free time" to do some changes of their homepage. Impressum, copyright, and data secureness are new sections accessible via text links in the footer. Many other pages have been overworked and updated, e.g. most of the FAQ pages giving answers to frequently asked questions.

On the start page of the shop from now on is to find the bargain of the week.

Metabox Share Free Falling
Metabox, once stock jobber' favourite in the new market, were not able to fulfill their volume announced early this year. One was talking about orders amounting to millions, that time - in fact just declarations of intent by anonymous, but bulk purchasers from foreign countries. After that the Metabox share shot up, and was the favourite of every risk loving investor, all summer.
Since several days share is in the red continuous, and today for some time went below -50% after the company from Hildesheim, Germany, released a profit caution. The initial volume forecast of 198 Mio. DM was audited to 70 Mio. DM. At this time the share is at a price of 7,- EUR. Top price was converted into euros (due to share split) 45,80EUR in July. Metabox beside internet boxes for TV-sets also produces G3 boards for the Mac, and had announced an Amiga version of these boards, the "AmiJoe". If AmiJoe ever will be released is doubtful, now.

KDH-Datentechnick


Business Plays Trickily ;-)
Selling of both, Amiga soft and hardware is stagnating - that's nothing new. But new is an idea of KDH-Datentechnik to bridge this depression in trade with party-gags. What is being offered? This things ist called "Orgasmatron", looks like a big beater, and should knead the scalp catering for unstressing, and a sense of well-being.

"Hushes while waiting for PPC boards, new Amiga games, PCI boards, AmigaOne, etc.", concludes KDH - what at least is evident for the proper portion of humor they own.

Gary Peake: Statement on the AmigaSDK for Windows
We have, as our first concern, developers. Developers need to be able to make money or they stop developing for a platform as we have all seen. Windows currently holds 85% of the desktop market.

Having said that, envision a run-time environment that is so small you can sell a CD of YOUR applications, games, etc along with this run-time environment and know that it will load and run on Windows, Linux, etc.

How valuable is this to a developer?

Once the AmigaDE takes hold and as market share increases, then we have even more opportunity for our developers (who are all hungry or should be after a 9 year drought).

On the up side, there is this list, where new Linux SDK users may get the assistance they need to remain un-shafted, and Amiga Inc. continues to work and partner with more factions of the Linux and Open Source communities.

And our commitment to open source won't waiver. It takes BOTH kinds of development to enhance a platform.

WarpGIF: Rectification
If many voices are emphasing the same suggestion, so you start to believe this suggestion, even if it isn't true. If fell for this well known phsycologic phenomenon myself.

Contrary to the opinion of many users the gif-subclass of the picture.datatype is not capable of viewing animated GIFs within browsers. Many users claimed the original OS3.5 gif.datatype to able to do that. Unfortunately I cannot validate this.
Therefore also with the WarpGIF.datatype only the first image of an animated GIF is viewed! The animation only can be viewed by the respective PlugIn of the browser.

ADFBlitzer Verion 2.0 Available
Since yesterday, version 2.0 of the popular ADF program ADFBlitzer is available from my homepage. Magnus Lundin, author of the first versions (up to v1.2) gave me the source code and permission to continue development.

Currently there are mainly visual improvements. However, since almost everything has been turned upside down internally, it might not run as expected. Therefore I ask for your e-mail feedback if it works - or doesn't work.

Sorry but currently the only way to download the program is by the direct link (titlelink), because my homepage has not yet been updated.
