`19.Apr.2025` Oliver Achten / Alinea Computer (ANF)	Announcement and pre-order campaign: AmiGUS sound card After 1 year of development time, we are proud to announce a new and exciting piece of hardware for the Amiga in 2025: the AmiGUS soundcard. Oliver Achten is responsible for the hardware development of the card. He developed the card with passion and attention to detail and also perfected the drivers in collaboration with his software team. Alinea Computer will be responsible for the production and support of the card. GUS stands for "Great Unbelievable Sound", and that is exactly what we will be offering - a quantum leap in quality for Amiga sound cards. No less than 24-bit, 192kHz is the premise here, and the good news is that this quality can be achieved on any Amiga, thanks to a fully featured hardware synth and mixing engine and CODEC chip for compressed sound formats. Our goal is to bring high quality music production and reproduction back to the Amiga, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone. AmiGUS Feature List Zorro II card for Amiga 2000 / 3000 /4000 computers, or compatible bus boards. Standard RCA stereo output, 192kHz @24-bit. TOSLINK optical output, supporting 48kHz, 96kHz & 192kHz @24-bit. 3x analogue audio inputs (PAULA, CD-ROM, EXTERNAL), sampled at 192kHz @24-bit. High-quality digital mixer which operates at full 192kHz @24-bit resolution. AHI buffered stream interface, supporting 8-/16- & 24-bit modes for playback and recording. MP3/OGG/FLAC/WMA hardware decoder (VLSI VS1063), enhanced by a powerful DMA stream buffer. 32 channel wavetable engine - featuring per voice: 8-/16-bit sample support, 192kHz @24-bit mixing rate. Sample start, stop and loop pointer for effective one-shot or continuous playback modes. 32-bit sample phase accumulators for extra fine grained pitch definition. Optional per-voice sample interpolation for smooth sounds. Channel independent left / right stereo panning.

`19.Apr.2025`	Aiostreams V1.7.8: Scripts for streaming videos (AmigaOS 4, MorphOS) "All In One streams" (aiostreams) is a pack of scripts, written in Python, that can be used to stream and watch videos from different online networks, like Twitch.tv, YouTube and Vimeo.com. All the scripts are developed and fully tested under AmigaOS 4.1 FE and MorphOS 3.x. which are the target systems of George 'walkero' Sokiano's project. Changes of version 1.7.8: Changed Changed the youtube script to support urls like https://youtu.be/AbcdefghiJk Changed the youtube script to return an error message when the url is not compatible Fixed Fixed the version string removing the double "vv" Fixed the youtube script when searching for videos to not crash when the results do not have a videoid As a companion to these scripts, he created the website AIOstreams which can be a fast way to discover Twitch videos. It is really fast and can be used on older browsers that do not support Javascript and CSS. This is a proxy website. No data is stored in any database, there is no tracking and no authentication is required. (dr) [News message: 19. Apr. 2025, 18:20] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`19.Apr.2025`	Shoot'em Up: Demo version of "Wings of Fear" Around a week ago, we reported on the preview video for the shoot'em up "Wings of Fear". Now the developer has released a demo version of his game, which is still in the alpha phase and is being created using the Scorpion Engine. He wants to use it to gather constructive feedback and suggestions on how he can improve his game. The minimum requirements are an ECS Amiga with 1 MB Fast RAM, 1 MB Chip RAM and a 68000 CPU, with which the game runs "painfully slowly" according to the author. AGA, 2MB chip RAM and 1 MB fast RAM as well as a 68020 CPU are recommended. (dr) [News message: 19. Apr. 2025, 06:34] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
