Hollywood now as QuickStart-edition available
Official press release: Due to popular request, Airsoft Softwair is now offering Hollywood 4.0 and Hollywood Designer 2.1 in special QuickStart editions. These QuickStart editions are optimized for a quick and hassle-free installation procedure, which means that they do not have to be burned on CD prior to installation. Instead, you simply download an archive and unpack it to the desired location on your hard drive. This is as easy as it gets! No installation necessary, just unpack and go. Your Hollywood installation will be ready within a minute!
The QuickStart editions are especially interesting for users of an Efika board without a CD-ROM, and generally for all AROS users because AROS currently doesn't support the Commodore Installer tool. Except for the installation procedure, the QuickStart editions are absolutely identical to the regular versions.
To order your QuickStart edition now, just tick the corresponding checkmark in the order form on this page. Order now!

- General noise issues resulting from the Aux/Video monitoring being turned on by default. You now don't need to run Mixer anymore to prevent these problems.

Lawsuit: Inception Group Real Estate sues Amiga Inc. (Update)
Apparently Inception Group, the former landlord of Amiga Washington (which renamed itself to Amino a while ago) has sued Amiga Inc (Delaware, formerly known as KMOS) four weeks ago. Amiga/Amino was sued by the Inception Group back in 2001 already (1, 2), two years later a second lawsuit was started (default judgement) and the inventory of the company's former offices was auctioned off.
Update: (06.07.2009, 15:30, cg)
The bill of indictment (PDF) is available now. Inception Group claims it has won a lawsuit against Amiga/Amino in November 2003, which resulted in Amiga/Amino owing Inception about 150,000 USD. Five years later, in November 2008, Amino, Amiga Delaware (fka KMOS) and Inception came to an agreement in which Amiga Delaware guaranteed to pay Amino's debts, which had grown to 235,000 USD by that time, until February 17th, 2009.
Inception states that it has not revieved any money to this day, which is why the company is now suing Amiga Delaware for breach of contract. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Cloanto: Emulator package Amiga Forever 2009
Press release July 2, 2009 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2009, the latest version of the award-winning Amiga preservation, emulation and support suite for Windows and other platforms (Screenshot).
Amiga Forever 2009 is the most refined update ever released in the Amiga Forever series. It again sets new references in usability while more than doubling the featured content and providing easier access to a universe of free downloads.
Like its sister product C64 Forever, Amiga Forever 2009 introduces a synergistic combination of the RP2 retrogaming file format (Screenshot, amiga-news.de reported), RetroPlatform Library to recognize content, and RP2 Manager (Screenshot) to export and import to and from other file formats.
The 2009 version includes hundreds of enhancements and was tested to comply with "Compatible with Windows 7" requirements. New features include seamless, one-click integration of the AmiKit and AmigaSYS add-ons and new system ROMs (e.g. the 0.7 Kickstart required to run the software used by Andy Warhol's famous 1985 Launch of Amiga demo). The Plus Edition includes more than 100 games and a selection from the most beautiful demoscene productions ever created. Tens of thousands of games, as well as other software ranging from the oldest to the latest Amiga releases are only a mouse click apart, and can run on powerful PCs and inexpensive netbooks alike.
When both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever are installed, the players share data and software modules with each other, uniformly playing back RP2 games of both 8-bit and 32-bit platforms. The same familiar user interface and settings are also applied to saved states, disk write undo, dual-monitor setups and other advanced functionality. "The way it brings back memories is amazing, and it feels as if Commodore and Amiga were united again," said Michael C. Battilana of Cloanto.
Dave Haynie, a long-time user of Amiga Forever and former Commodore International chief engineer on high end and advanced projects, added: "The past IS the future... Amiga Forever is the single best way to run AmigaOS today. Your PC is the fastest Amiga that will ever exist, and Cloanto does a wonderful job of packing the emulation technology, every AmigaOS ROM and Workbench version (most of which I've long since lost to data rot on my floppy collection), games, utilities, Web tools, graphics programs, most anything you would need, all in one place."
Amiga Forever 2009 is available now in three editions:
- Value Edition (downloadable installer for Windows systems)
- Plus Edition (downloadable CD ISO image with additional Windows and platform-neutral content)
- Premium Edition (physical Plus Edition CD and two DVDs (Photo), plus instant download of the installer for Windows)
The Plus Edition includes the KX Light boot environment with hard disk installation and online updates. The Premium Edition additionally contains more than five hours of videos. (snx)
