AmigaTalk updated to V1.9a
A new update to AmigaTalk has been uploaded to aminet (by the Author).
Several new classes, such as Boopsi, IFF & DataTypes have been added to
the system, as well as a lot of bug fixes. Since I found some more bugs
at the last-minute (after the archive was uploaded, sigh), please be sure
to download the AmigaTalk-Update archive as well. AmigaTalk is a port of
Little SmallTalk with a GUI for the Amiga.

ScummVM Version 0.1.0 for MorphOS released
Rüdiger Hanke released his new version of the ScummVM-MorphOS. He wrote, that
this new version would fix many bugs from v0.0.3.
The MorphOS version got some display code now and became independent of SDL.
This reduces the program in size and switching from full screen to window mode
now works clean. Other enhancements are being worked on.

CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko v1.2
Finally the time has come! A new version of Akiko, CD32 and CDTV
emulator for Microsoft(r) Windows(r), can be downloaded from the
Airsoft Softwair homepage (http://www.airsoftsoftwair.com/)
Version 1.2 is a major update which is about 20% faster and
supports emulation of the CD32's nonvolatile memory including a
cool nv ram editor which supports importing, exporting, locking
& patching of save states.
Example of patching a save game is included
in the documentation. Additionally Akiko has now a real Joypad emulation
which means that the user can map every key / joystick button to
the CD32's joypad buttons. Akiko also supports the emulation of the
language identifier of the CD32 and CDTV now so some games appear
now automatically in the language you configured in the Akiko settings.
Finally there were some bug fixes and improvements in the single
patches as well as an extended documentation.
If you still haven't
registered Akiko (only $15US/15 EUR) you should have a look at
Defender Of The Crown 2 CDTV which can now also be played with the
Akiko demo version. But don't forget to set your native language
to the CDTV's language in the Akiko settings so that the game appears
in it. By the way, Akiko does not require the extended ROMs of the
CD32 & CDTV. Kickstart 3.1 and 1.3 are enough. Registered users
please send an email to akiko@airsoftsoftwair.de with "subscribe"
subject and you'll get the latest version (you'll only have to
subscribe once, then you'll always get the latest version of Akiko)
If you haven't registered yet, you should definitely get the demo
version of Akiko! (ps)

PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX sells Amiga Sources
Due to a lack of time, motivation and general interest,
PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX is looking for licensees that
are willing to obtain the source code for the well-known
ak Datatypes (other products on request) under exclusive
or non-exclusive license on as-is basis.
The license will not include the keyfile-code (removal)
and it won't include the right to sell a product under
the same name. So the licensee will be able to work out
new products based on the sources, without any further
relations or obligations. Basic help for getting started
with the sources and concepts will be provided.
We're awaiting your offers.
OpenSource projects may obtain FREE licences under
certain circumstances. Please contact us.
This offer is limited until 31.03.2001.
In the meantime, our website will be reworked.
The Amiga section was removed.

#AmigaFun: chat with Hyperion on 18.02.2002
On Monday, 18. February 2002, beginning at 19.00 h will Steffen Häuser,
Thomas and Hans-Jörg Frieden from
Hyperion answer to questions
on the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. All three are programmers at Hyperion and
deal with AmigaOS 4 and with games ports, like for example Quake 2. The chat
with Hyperion is organised in co-operation with the Amiga Future.
How to access the IRC channel #AmigaFun:
IRC server (enter WITHOUT "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org
IRC port: 6667
IRC channel: #amigafun
Should the server fail you can access the channel via this server:
amigafun.ma.cx (please enter again without "irc.").
Further information especially for IRC beginners can be found on the #AmigaFun homepage.
HINT:
The chat can be accessed via HTML chat from the #AmigaFun homepage, Amiga Future
homepage and from the amiga-news.de forum. As we can't guarantee an error free
functioning of the HTML chat and programs like AMIRC or BlackIRC are anyway
nicer to use we recommend to use an IRC client in any way.
Possible languages are German and English. The logfiles of the chat will be
later released on the homepages of the Amiga Future and the #AmigaFun in German and
in English.
Stefan Martens: "I'd like this time to point to the fact that nobody else may
release the logfiles of the chat this time." (ps) (Translation: wk)
