GamePark32: Handheld with adapted ScummVM-version
The GamePark 32
combines the qualities of a mp3 and video player with a retro emulator and handheld
games because there is still a GP32 optmized version of the popular "ScummVM" tool with
which you can play Monkey Island, Indiana Jones or Day of the Tentacle.
There are also emulators for Atari 2600, Atari ST, C64, Neo Geo, NES and Master System.
But there is not an Amiga emulator (UAE?).

Mai Logic: News regarding PPC 970 support
Mai Logic, Inc. Licenses IBM®'s Elastic Interface Technology For Its Articia Chipset Family and Teron Series Systems in Support of IBM®'s PowerPC™ 970 Microprocessor Family
FREMONT, CA. December 21, 2003. Mai Logic, Incorporated, a leading global semiconductor provider of bus-interface controller circuits, embedded platforms and total system solutions, announced today it is licensing IBM®'s ultra-high speed PowerPC™ 970 Elastic Interface technology. Mai Logic plans to incorporate IBM®'s Elastic Interface technology within its Articia I chipset and Teron I series system product offerings, working hand-in-hand with the PowerPC™ 970 microprocessors to help improve the performance of next generation embedded applications in consumer electronics, multimedia, storage, main-stream computing, servers and networking application for consumer, industrial and military implementations.
"IBM®'s latest licensing agreement with Mai Logic demonstrates the continuing momentum of the PowerPC™ 970 family in the market," said Mark Ireland, Manager of PowerPC™ Strategy and Business Development, IBM® Microelectronics. "Our relationship enables IBM® to provide Mai Logic with the latest, most innovative microprocessor core technology for their products while in turn, driving momentum for the PowerPC™ architecture in the embedded space."
"IBM®'s PowerPC™ 970 architecture provides us with tremendous flexibility," said Jason Hou, CEO of Mai Logic. "We plan to utilize the Elastic Interface technology with Articia I to expand our leading-edge Articia family roadmap for a variety of compelling products which span several of our target markets that require optimal performance, low-power consumption, low-cost 64-bit capabilities. The technology will be a significant asset in our portfolio as we move forward."
Mai Logic's Articia I System Controller and Teron I Series Systems
Mai Logic's feature-rich Articia I supports IBM® PowerPC™ 970 microprocessor, DDR 2 memory interface and other advanced peripheral interfaces such as PCI Express and PCI-X. The combination of IBM® PowerPC™ 970's performance speeds, the ultra high speed Elastic I/O technology and Mai Logic's AGP 8X compatible Articia I chipset represents a formidable solution in the embedded markets, particularly those requiring high resolution graphics such as multimedia, gaming, medical and aerospace industries. With built-in MPEG4 accelerator and TV decoder designed for developing integrated graphic and video subsystems, Articia I is well positioned to bridge the gap between the computer and the television as the worlds of entertainment and computing converge. Articia I is also equipped with self-repairing and self-testing functions to ensure performance stability.
The PowerPC™ 970 + Articia I based Teron I series solutions provide system developers scalability and synthesizability to meet the ever-increasing performance demands of future-generation devices, accelerate time-to-market, and minimize overall complexity. Samples of the Articia I chipsets, Teron I series systems, and PowerPC™ 970 processor are expected to be available in early second quarter of 2004.

USB stack: News from "Poseidon"
A new MorphOS-Version of Poseidon has been released and the documentation for the 68k-Version has been slightly updated. Chris Hodges writes:
"Good news everyone,
I just uploaded the binaries for the MorphOS version of Poseidon V2.2.
The archive is available as usually from my homepage.
This is an intermediate solution and laire doesn't like it, so if something
goes wrong, blame it on me and not the rest of the MorphOS team. Don't
hesitate to report any problems.
Installing it on MorphOS is a bit tricky, because some of the files are in
the "ROM" file, the bootimg. Therefore you have to add the following line
to the MOSSYS:S/Startup-Sequence file just, before the IPrefs command:
PoseidonROMUpdate
If you don't add this, the update will still work, but some components will
still remain as the old version, that was delivered with the MOS 1.4 ISO.
Also, avoid booting up with USB mass storage devices connected, because
this will inhibit the replacement of the class, as it will be in use by the
mounted partitions.
There is both an USB.mprefs update (available through the system prefs), as
well as the stand-alone Trident program, compiled for PPC. Use whatever you
prefer. Trident has more features though ;-}}}}
I've also updated the V2.2 archive a bit, there was some old information in
the registration forms (and I've also added the missing SWIFT and BIC codes
for international money transfer).
That's it for now. Have a nice time and happy new year. Thanks for your
support!"
