Mirror of the Frogger MPEG Player homepage online
Due to problems with routing the domain to Germany, Marco Frischkorn offered the programmers of Frogger webspace, so the site and downloads are more easily available; think of this as a mirror.

Fact is: the page is now also available at www.highantdev.de/frogger/.

Epic Marketing Germany is restructuring
On 30. September 2000, Epic Marketing Germany will say good-bye after four years in the Amiga market, and will start two new companies on 1. October 2000. Due to this, the homepage is reworked and will be reposted in early October.

The company will be split into two areas on 1. October 2000:

epic interactive will turn towards the gaming market, and primarily port and develop games for the Apple MacIntosh. Support for the systems Milan and Amiga One is targeted as soon as those are available on the market.

Informations on our upcoming Mac titles "Gorky 17", "Earth 2140", "Simon The Sorcerer 2", "Dafel: Bloodline" and all other titles will be available soon on www.epic-interactive.com.

For the Classic Amiga, we will soon present the games Simon The Sorcerer 2, Earth 2140 and Dafel: Bloodline. If this platform will be continuously supported depends on the success of these three products, "Earth 2140", which is in beta phase, can be preordered until 15. October 2000 at a special price.

epic multimedia will be about the distribution of games, info- and edutainment titles for different platforms (Mac, Win, Linux etc.).

As a goodbye from Epic Marketing Germany, numerous of our Amiga titles are available at special prices until 30. September 2000.

Amiga Link Directory with Special Aminet Search Function
In recent months, the Amiga Link Directory became one of the most favourite search engines and AMIGA directories thanks to its unique features. Now we add yet more!

Starting immediately, you can search the Aminet for WWW adresses and files. Enter the name of a program whose homepage you are looking for, and just cannot find in the ALD. ALD will scan all files on Aminet matching the search string, and look in the .readme files for WWW adresses. The result of this scan will be listed in a table. To get you results quickly, every link will only be listed once, even if given in several .readme files.

Petro Tyschtschenko Starts a New Company
We found an interesting new entry in the German Central Register of Companies. According to this entry, Petro Tyschtschenko, Vice President of Amiga Inc., Germany, has founded together with Frank Basta a new company named "Power Service GmbH". Here's the entry (Translator: Rüdiger Engel):

Federal legal gazette Item 0161, Date: 20000826
Zentralhandelsregister-Beilage
51 Handelsregister


Power Service GmbH

Street:Wittelsbacher Allee 58
City:Frankfurt am Main
Company-Nr.:60256HRB50102
District Court:60256 Frankfurt am Main
References:HRB 50 102 - 08. 08. 2000
Kind of entry:20 new entry
Date of entry:20000808
Year of entry:2000
Text:HRB 50 102 -- 08. 08. 2000: Power Service
GmbH , Frankfurt am Main (Wittelsbacher Allee
58, 60385 Frankfurt).

Subject of the enterprise is: Mediation of foreign and native persons at companies within the area of software development, the care of these persons (accomodation, food supply) in conjunction with the mediation etc. as a so-called "all-in-one-service"-offer. Capital stock: 25,000,- EUR. Managing director: Petro Tyschtschenko, born 16.04.1943, Roedermark; Frank Basta, born 23.11.1969, Frankfurt/Main. Limited Company (so-called "GmbH" in Germany). The articles of association were finalized on May, 30th, 2000. The managing directors Petro Tyschtschenko and Frank Basta have sole agency right. They are justified, with itself in the name or as representant of third, to finalize legal transactions with the company. (§ 181 BGB).

Not entered: Proclamations of the company are only stated in the federal legal gazette.


Supplement:
Bill McEwen, CEO Amiga, Inc. made the following statement to the above:

"I would be shocked and personally hurt to find out that Petro has not been making Amiga his first priority, and that he has been using his Amiga paid trips to India for his own personal gain. We pay him a wonderful salary, we pay for his Mercedes, his cell phone, and his beautiful offices. He has never spoken to me about any issues or problems, and if he has truly been using our money and time to promote his own company I will be extremely disappointed. I hope that Amiga-News is wrong in their findings."

New UAE JIT Patch Available
"Just a quick note --- there is a new "bleeding edge" patch for UAE-JIT for Linux. It fixes some minor problems, and adds some important changes to the JIT compiler. If you had stability problems in the past, you might want to try this one. I have made a source patch and a few pre-built binaries available. Please understand that this is more or less a snapshot of work in progress, not a full "release" (can't have a release --- the Premier League had last weekend off due to an international ;-), and as such requires you to know what you are doing.

I am fairly confident that the source compiles, and that the binaries are actually built for what they claim to be built form, but that is about as far as I'll go.... ;-)

If you haven't used UAE-JIT before, and plan to download one of the new binaries, PLEASE also download the "patch against pristine sources" from the Derby County release. You don't want the patch, but you *definitely* want the documentation that comes with the same archive!

At the title link, release 2 of the WinUAE version 0.8.14 is available. With WinUAE, you can emulate an Amiga on your PC.

New in release 2:
  • FIXED: Picasso96 screen-modes weren't being drawn/updated correctly.
  • FIXED: Sound-buffer slider gets disabled when no audio output is selected.
  • FIXED: German GUI DLL is accurate now. (Thanks Georg)
  • ADDED: Flicker-free Amiga screen updates when full-screen. Doesn't affect Picasso96 screens, though.
  • CHANGED: Sound output tweaked again, should be "slightly" better.

New SSTV-Software for Radio Amateurs
At the link comm/misc/af_mksstv.lha a test version of a program for sending pictures through SSTV (narrow band television) is for download. At the moment you only can send pictures by using the modus Martin M1. No special hardware is required. The output is realized over the audio output of the Amiga - you will hear a 114 seconds long whistle. The recommended hardware is a A1200 with OS3.0, but a faster one would be better.

User comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcomed. A further development depends on the user respond.

Pegase V1.8d
Marcel Rohles writes:
Didier Levet released four updates of the MPEG-Layer-2-encoders Pegase between 31.08.2000 and 09.09.2000. In addition to bugfixes and little changes, the audio-model has been improved. Now there is nearly no difference between original and copy with a 160 kbit coded AIFF.

Unfortunately there were no responses during the last weeks, so he thinks that noone uses Pegas e anymore or there is no interest in further versions.

Especially on pure 68k-Amigas there is in my opinion no alternative to Pegase - MP§-encoding without PPC takes too much time.

Pegase offers compression-times of 2:1 on my Cyberstorm MK I (50 MHz) and a really good quality of the encoded songs, often even better than free MP3-encoders.

The fastest Driver for ISDN-boards ever!
Harald Frank wrote:
Many did not thought it to be possible, any more. After 1 1/2 years there is a new update for the ISDN-boards driver software VMC-ISDN for any Amiga ISDN-board. Due to the partly loss of source code, and some small technical problems we could not release a new version for the ISDN driver over a long period of time. Some customers even suggested that we would have stopped working on it...., but once again we are able to offer to you a masterly achievement of Amiga software, which is only to describe using the words better, faster and turbo.

Please, prove us that did not spend so many month full of work for this costly software for nothing, and if you know another one owning an Amiga ISDN-board, so tell him of the new driver, cause we depend on every support from you. It would be a pitty, if would not be able to finace this software any more in default of interest. So, come on and register for the new beta test, now.

Take Part in the Developement of Lyra!
Lyra is the joungest child of individual Computers. This is an adapter to use Windows-Keyboards with the Amiga. Though some thing like this alreay exists, but none of the up to now introduced interfaces fulfilled our personel needs. Either some of the key were not used, or others had absolutely insane seizures, and again other had problems when more then one key were pressed at the same time. This interface for the "Bigbox" Amigas (2000, 3000, 4000 and tower-case) easy gets pluged between keyboard and computer. In the case of A1200 it gets impressed to the keyboard processor, which is to find on the A1200 main board.
We have spent as much effort as possible to get the seizures very similar to the original Amiga keyboards, and to give reasonable seizures to additional keys. Though, we want to hear the opinions about the seizures of as many users as possible befor we cannot change anything, any more. So, take your time to have close look at the key seizures, and mail us your opinion. The best suggestion will be honoured with some little surprise! Release is planned for the end of October.

New Amiga Design for Nokia 3210 Mobile Phone
Rolf Tingler has already created designs with Amiga look in airbrush for several mobile phone models. Now there's also a shell available for the Nokia 3210. For the Nokia model 8210, a new Amiga design is in the works. The design is a bit complicated as this phone is really small and thus there's only very little space for the design.

AddOn-Programming for PageStream
Grasshopper LLC, the distributor of PageStream, published the documentation of IFF and links to the Application Library SDK on their pages. The release allows third parties to write plug-ins for PageStream. Interested developers can find more information here.

Supplement, 09-09-2000 by Ruediger Hanke:
There is a problem unfortunatly mentioned nowhere as it is. The SDK at the time beeing works solely with SAS/C! If one tries to compile the includes using StormC, he will get a lot of error messages and an endless loop in the compiler, if lucky.

The includes also are not the only wattle, the enclosed linker-libraries are too SAS/C specific, too. Fortunatly Deron is very helpful, he promised me to send me the sources of these linker-libraries, so that I can port them to StormC.

This is not mentioned on the website. At the end one might take the effort (quite a few) to adapt the includes, just to finde out at the end that the needed linker-library doesn't match. If Deron sends me the sources, and I would manage to get them running with StormC, I will make up a SDK version for StromC programmers.

"Middle City" preview and interview
Juergen A. Theiner of Playamiga.de has talked with the Italian programmers of the new adventure "Middle City" and created a preview with many screenshots. Here a small excerpt:
"Middle City is a classical adventure in the vein of Monkey Island. The setting is a remote village. The goal is to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Linda Patton whose arm was found in the river. Main character is the (not really intelligent) FBI agent Cox who has to work closely with the good-looking Ellen Dow from the local police. All characters are very excentric and thus suspicious. The end will be a huge suprise."

Epic News
After a long time, there's some news from Epic:

Virtual Ball Fighters, the action game for the Amiga is finally available. VBF requires an Amiga with AGA or graphics card, a 030 CPU and 8 MByte RAM. PPC and soundcards are supported.

The successor to MooVID Pro is coming soon: MooVID Pro 2 will be shipped from September 18th on. Beside many optimizations, MooVID now supports the PPC (WarpUP and Power Up). Owners of the previous version get a cheaper update from epic.

Transcript of the Coyote Interview with Bill McEwen
Christian Busse has taken the efforts of creating a transcript from the 2.1 MB MP3 file of the Coyote Flux interview with Bill McEwen:

Bill McEwen: Here's Bill!

Coyote Flux: Well, good day Mr McEwen, you're speaking with Sharwin - I'm from Coyote Flux, an Amiga only software team and I would like to ask you a few public questions - is that possible?

Bill McEwen: Certainly.

Coyote Flux: OK, thank you - first of all: I heard a rumour from some magazines that the German office is about to close after the inventory sales of the Amiga 1200 - is this true?

Bill McEwen: No...?

Coyote Flux: No - OK, thank you. What could you tell me about the AmigaOne?

Bill McEwen: Well, nothing publicly at this time - other than this is a new desktop replacement machine.

Coyote Flux: OK. Then there was another question: Since half a year the Amiga market has started to shrink a little bit in comparison to what it was before, especially because there are a lot of companies and sceners that rather stay with the original Amigas - we spoke to you at the show in Neuss, the World of Alternatives, about porting the current Amiga OS to PPC, we will have to add the following question: You asked for the business proposal at the show...

Bill McEwen: Yes?

Coyote Flux: ... and we would like to know: We want to do the Amiga OS PPC port together with a few others at our own cost together, and we would like to know if that is possible as we think that the Amiga makes a bigger chance of surviving when the older machines get a chance as well.

Bill McEwen: Yeah, no, again, if you send me the information we're happy to take a look at it - we've been in conversations with Haage & Partner about this, we have received their timing, their proposal how long they think it will take...

Coyote Flux: Yes

Bill McEwen: ... we've been looking at market trends and designs, so I'm happy to take a look at what you have - we've not made a final decision on that

Coyote Flux: OK, so there hasn't been a final decision yet about if an Amiga OS PPC port can or will be made?

Bill McEwen: Correct.

Coyote Flux: OK, what do you think about the Boxer?

Bill McEwen: I don't think it will ever ship.

Coyote Flux: And if it WILL be shipped, would you be supporting it?

Bill McEwen: Oh, we already have, publicly!

Coyote Flux: OK, so it won't ever be a problem, the Classic Amiga range will proceed, and the Amiga will, like, go two seperate ways or something?

Bill McEwen: No, I don't see that, because you'll be able to run your Amiga Classic on the new system!

Coyote Flux: Aha, I see, but surely the speed will not be as fast as an original chipset...

Bill McEwen: Actually it will be FASTER with what we're doing - we're not doing it through emulation.

Coyote Flux: OK, cause now it's with the Virtual Processor I suppose?

Bill McEwen: U-huh

Coyote Flux: Cause I have a copy of the SDK at home, but, taking a look at modern CPUs, taking a look at all the parallel processing units and the caching and memory management, I have the feeling that the Virtual Processor will not be running at the speed it SHOULD be...

Bill McEwen: Actually since it's not... the Virtual Processor, since it translates it into native code...

Coyote Flux: Yes...

Bill McEwen: ... and the overhead is to a minimum, there is, what, a two percent performance hit

Coyote Flux: Yes, I understand, but by using a lot of registers that should be emulated or mapped in memory before they can be used, I suppose...

Bill McEwen: Exactly translated on the fly.

Coyote Flux: It's translated on the fly - but where are the registers taken from if I may ask?

Bill McEwen: I'm sorry I didn't hear you.

Coyote Flux: Where are the registers taken from if I may ask? Are they taken from memory, or are they taken from hardware registers?

Bill McEwen: It depends on the implementation...

Coyote Flux: Yes

Bill McEwen: ... if there is hardware available, we will utilize the hardware directly...

Coyote Flux: Yes

Bill McEwen: ... and if we can catch it that way, otherwise if it's not available we will do it in software.

Coyote Flux: OK, I see - but that will slow down, I suppose?

Bill McEwen: Depending on the application - in a desktop environment in most cases you'll have the proper hardware to utilize it, but in a handheld device you might not have the hardware, so we'll have to do it in software.

Coyote Flux: OK, I see, thank you - finally I had a question concerning the SDK: Is it a big success?

Bill McEwen: Yes, actually the sales are ahead of schedule and as of this week Red Hat will begin selling it also.

Coyote Flux: OK, and how many approximately sold in the time it has been on market?

Bill McEwen: Well, we shipped fifteen thousand so far.

Coyote Flux: Fifteen thousand.

Bill McEwen: Yep.

Coyote Flux: OK, thank you very much! That's actually all I wanted to know!

Bill McEwen: Great!

Coyote Flux: OK, thank you...

Bill McEwen: Yeah, I look forward - in fact I was speaking to someone about you in Sacramento...

Coyote Flux: Oh!

Bill McEwen: .. that it looked like you might be the team that might have the best opportunity for us, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Coyote Flux: OK, thank you very much...

Bill McEwen: OK?

Coyote Flux: I will contact you then in the near future, supplying you with the information you might need about how we can port the Amiga OS to PPC, and...

Bill McEwen: OK.

Coyote Flux: ... yes, please keep up the good work then.

Bill McEwen: I thank you very much for your call.

Coyote Flux: OK, thank you as well - bye!

Public-Opinion Poll at www.zophar.net
At www.zophar.net, supposed to be the biggest emulators-site online, there is currently a public-opinion poll to find at the top of the right menue board, on what useres would wish to see on the page in future. Among other things there is also the possibility to vote for "Emulators for the Amiga". If you are interested in this, you should set your vote there, cause there are only about 10% of votes for Amiga at the moment.

Heise: The Mac inside the PC - for nothing
«Anybody who always wanted to check out if Mac OS indeed makes less problems than Windows now can test this directly on the PC: Emulators Inc. offers the Macintosh emulator Fusion PC for free download, from now on. Emulators too over this sofware, which only runs under DOS (Window's DOS-Box does not fit), last month. Next month they want to release the entire source-code, due to their own statements. This shall become content of a tutorial on emulator programming.»
For full article, see titlelink (German).

As already reported here on 05-24-00, Microcode Solutions gave Fusion PC license to Emulators, Inc. to have more free developer recources, and more fund available.

New AmiTradeCenter Beta Available
Once again it happend, a new beta version for the FTP-client AmiTradeCenter was released.

05.09.2000 public beta
  • Added a "t" to one of the "direcory" strings which was missing. [ExoBuZz]
  • Fixed a bug when pressing the local "parent" button while connecting which caused garbage in the local string gadget. [ExoBuZz]
  • After a transfer the transferred file, bytes, filelength and the cps are now displayed in the ftplog. [Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
  • Double entries in the .batchtmp are now filtered, so the list won't replicate itself several times after several crashes. [Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
  • Reselection of files when revisitting a directory is now done by comparing the filenames with the list instead of just selecting the files by numbers, which could have led to wrong selected entries, when a directory was reloaded after an upload. [Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
  • The trader now won't try to reconnect to a server, when the servermanager is quitted and therefore also all traders (depends on "auto reconnect" and "closemethod of servermanager" settings).
  • Loginwindow which is opened if neither the username or the password is given didn't work. Fixed. [Ingo Musquinier]

Haage & Partner News
H&P increases personnel

In October of the past year, we already hired a new programmer, namely Markus Poellmann. He mainly cares for StormC, and also works on AmigaWriter. At the beginning of 2000, a new co-worker was found, Ute Gottschalk, who takes care of accounting and datatyping. Stefan Robel has just finished a practical period for his computer studies, in which he created a new and portable version of StormRexx. At the beginning of September, Alexander Bramm and Simon Neumann brought two new co-workers. Their main concern is support, and managing of new projects.

Further co-workers wanted.

For proof-reading of our website texts, press releases and manuals we are looking for an additional English native speaker. A good knowledge of English grammer etc. is essential.

Computer-Zeitung: Politicians supporting Linux in the fight against patents
The German Computerzeitung issue 36 from 09-07-00 is carrying the subject of software patents:

They are titeling (small): "Software Inventions"
(big) "Politicians are supporting Linux with the fight against patents"

This all is to find big and not ot overlook pivotal on the front page citing Joerg Tauss, MdB (member of the Bundestag) contra, and Dai Rees pro SWPAT.

Additional a big picture along with the subtitle "The [EPA] in Munich denys any private financial interest [...]"

At the left another contra SWPAT comment (German) of an editor, and at the lower right the Intel/Broadcom quarrel is suggested. So, about half of the front page today only on the subject of patents.

For all SDK users:
AmigaMPEGPlayer is now up to 25% faster (!) than the initial version, and has got a file-requestor in addition, too.

writepixel was completely overworked, is now definite faster than previeous versions, and has got a scalable window. Furthermore the colour fade now changes corresponding to mouse position and time.

clickBOOM: Nightlong
Nightlong has been enabled by Trecision, which means the betatests have passed positively. Now only the CDs, and packings are to be produced, and then the game will be available soon. Nightlong is a graphically costly point-and-click game which at first was published by Team 17 for the PC, and became a big success. The background of the game is a conspiracy anno 2099 which the player has to clear up.

Nevertheless we have had a look at the Millenium G450 with regard to the use for games. Maybe this card is a reasonably alternative for the private user? See titlelink for full article (German). At amiga.org we have found a link to a review of AnandTech as well: Matrox Millennium G450. And this one is in English. -)

SView C++ Image Loaders
SView class-library was ported to Linux x86 (GCC) successfully. Originally it based on Watcom/C++ 11 for Win32 (Win9x, WinNT, Win2000) and now can be compiled from the same source-tree for each Linux-platform, as well. This also would make possible porting back to ADE 68k, PPC or MorphOS, as well as porting to Linux 68k or AInc's VP. In future it will be possible to give licences for binary or sourcecodes. Do not hesitate to inquire in time.

AmiDogs Movieplayer AMP2
Mathias "AmiDog" Roslund has opened an AMP2-site where you can find the current updates for the Amiga-Movie-Player AMP 2. Version V2pre1 of the 5th of September 2000 is the most recent one. But this version probably has still a couple of bugs and therefore should be tested with caution, as the author says. Please, read information on the AMP2-site carefully.

Download: AMP2pre1.lha
