The AROS Archives: File Area for AROS opened
"The AROS Archives" is up and ready to accept your files. This web site will be the main repository for all AROS software, but we need your help. Software needs to be uploaded to the site. Developers are definitely encouraged to upload their own software.
The site has went through some changes. We started out with a Microsoft ASP coded site, but with help from Björn Hagström, we were able to have the site coded in PHP, which makes it much easier to maintain.
Damir Sijakovic did a great job on the design for The AROS Archives.
This web site is supported by AROS-Exec.org and is located at archives.aros-exec.org.
I want to thank the following people for their help with the project:
Björn Hagström (OS4Depot.net)
Damir Sijakovic (d980)
Ola '4pLaY' Jensen (AROS-Exec.org)
Nicolas 'nicomen' Mendoza (AROS-Exec.org)
If you have any questions, please post in the forum of AROS-Exec.org, ask in the #aros IRC channel at the Freenode network or send an e-mail to archives@aros-exec.org.
Thanks and enjoy!
Paul J. Beel (snx)

Windows: "Neues"-Starter Version 1.2
Für Fans der Fernseh-Computer-Sendung "Neues" hat Martin Henke ein komfortables Tool zum Starten der Realplayer-Streams der verschiedenen Sendungen erstellt. Beim "Neues"-Starter gibt es mit der Version 1.2 folgende Neuerungen:
- Bei Updates wird jetzt ein separates Fenster geöffnet, dass die Versionsübersicht (History) anzeigt. So kann der Benutzer entscheiden, ob er das Update herunterladen will oder nicht.
- Im Hauptfenster gibt es jetzt den Unterpunkt "Versionsübersicht" im "Hilfe"-Menü, über den Informationen über die aktuell installierte und die vorherigen Version (History) angezeigt wird.
- Bugfix: Bei Benutzeraccounts ohne Admininistratorrechte (Windows 2000/XP) stürzt das Programm jetzt nicht mehr beim Programmstart aufgrund fehlenden Schreibzugriffs ab.
- Bugfix: Kompatibilitätsproblem mit Windowx XP behoben (Start des Setup-Programms beim Aktualisieren)
- Über die INI-Datei "StartNeues.ini" (wird beim 1. Programmstart mit Schreibrechten erstellt) im Programmverzeichnis können das automatische Überprüfen auf Aktualisierungen und das Laden der Versionsübersicht (verwendet InternetExplorer-Control) ausgeschaltet werden. Manuelle Aktualisierungen über das Menü "Datei" sind dabei nach wie vor möglich.

Database: Golden Amiga Games Encyclopedia updated
The Golden Amiga Games Encyclopedia by Volker 'Dr. Zarkov' Mohr has been updated to version 14.0. 100 games have been added, the information of 31 further ones updated.
The online-database started as an AmigaGuide document with the goal to list all Amiga Games that were compatible with AGA and 68020+ Amigas.
Because many games didn't work on upgraded machines, Volker Mohr started testing them with all kind of degrading tools and added this information to the database. Today, besides the compatibility, you can also find information about the publishers, cheats, docs, walkthroughs and screenshots. (snx)

Linux: OpenSuSE 10.0 for PowerPC / Short guide for installation on Pegasos
Due to the large number of requests, again a PowerPC version of the Linux distribution OpenSuSE has been released in version 10.0 beta 3 ("Bangalore") at the title link.
At PPCZone Marcel 'Frostwork' Unbehaun has published a short guide for installing OpenSuSE on the Pegasos. All you need is a Pegasos-compatible kernel, no further modifications are required.
How to install OpenSuSE on Pegasos computers:
- Boot the first SuSE-CD with the following parameters: boot cd suseboot/inst32 minmemory=0 MemYastText=0 sysrq=1
- You will be guided through the installation process
- When installation of the first CD is finished, the computer will reboot
- Now copy the kernel-modules of a Pegasos-compatible kernel to /lib/modules/"kernelversion" of your new system
- Copy a Pegasos-compatible kernel to your boot-hd (if it isn't already there; if you choose a special filesystem like reiserfs, make sure it is compiled into your kernel)
- In the Open Firmware, a usual linux-boot parameter-path is everything you will need: boot "SuseKernel" root=/dev/your-chosen-hd (plus additional parameters you want to use, like video=xxx)
- SuSE should boot now with your kernel and finish installation

MorphOS: libnix updated
There's a new libnix available for MorphOS in the download area of the MorphOS Developer Connection. It is recommended that all registered developers updated an installed MorphOS SDK with this new version.
Among other things were the following changed or are new:
- added lfind/lsearch.
- fixed access(), which didn't work properly at all.
- optimized fseek(), should be much faster with in-buffer seeks now.
- fixed scanf() (and all related functions (including strtod)) parsing of sequence of floats.
- qsort() no longer compares the same elements against eachother (pointless, and broke some compare routines).
- support printf/scanf (and related functions) %hh formatting.

MorphOS: ressources-friendly MUI settings (2nd Update)
Oliver 'Bladerunner' Hummel made ressources friendly MUI settings available for users of the PowerUp version of MorphOS. In addition, he recommends the use of the skin "Rainy Blue" that is available on the CD. The effect is clearly visible. Further help can be found in our forum.
Download: Muilight.prefs (15 KB)
Update: (22:15, 28.08.05, snx)
Since the main reason for the performance gain seems to be to avoid the use of gradients, Oliver Hummel has released new MUI settings at MorphZone. Because of a minor mistake in the original settings for Oliver's Cyberstorm skin it is recommended for its users to download these new settings, too.
Alternatively, our reader Jean Holzammer suggests to avoid using skins at all and force the original look of Intuition instead. To do so, you have to rename (or delete) the skins directory in both SYS:Prefs and MOSSYS:Prefs.
Update 2: (22:38, 28.08.05, snx)
Another hint has been posted by 'rzookol' - according to him, the missing font vera.ttf in the mossys:fonts/_ttf directory is also a reason for a lower performance of the PowerUp version. As a solution, you can rename a copy of the font verase.ttf: "copy sys:morphos/fonts/_ttf/verase.ttf sys:morphos/fonts/_ttf/vera.ttf". Pegasos owners can copy the missing font from their corresponding MorphOS installation. (snx) (Translation: wk)
