Emulator: WinUAE V08.17 Release 3
Since yesterday, at the
download section
of the WinUAE homepage version 08.17 release 3 of the Amiga emulator is available.
The following errors are known in this version:
- Snapshot (save-state) support is not 100% yet.
- Picasso96 colour-fades are especially slow.
- Only Lemmings 3 AGA's playing screen is centered correctly,
"Lemming-mode" selection buttons on bottom of screen are still
corrupted. (AGA bitplanes do not steal copper's DMA cycles correctly
yet)
- Also Banshee AGA's scoreboard is still invisible because sprites
outside playfields (AGA only feature, not yet implemented) are
always hidden.
Gegenüber der vorigen Version hat sich Folgendes geändert:
- FIXED: Mouse trails are gone gone gone.
- FIXED: No longer crashes in windowed-mode on XP Themed-view.
- FIXED: 68020+ bitfield instruction fix (stuck doors in Dungeon Master AGA)
- FIXED: Fix garbage display on Venus the Flytrap and Nightbreed Interactive
Movie. (Toni Wilen)
- FIXED: Trying to delete a non-empty directory will now properly return
ERROR_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY. (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: Renaming a directory which was opened then closed will no longer
crash. (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: Increased the range of addresses checked for memory-mapping, in
order to make JIT "direct" mode work on more systems. (Bernd
Roesch)
- FIXED: Selecting a Picasso96 8-bit mode in windowed-mode would complain
about not matching your desktop's depth, and switch to full-screen.
- FIXED: CD-ROM Mounting should work again.
- FIXED: Installer won't install when WinUAE is already running.
- FIXED: Right-click and "Editting" a .UAE config-file will now result in
the correct config-name and config-description in the GUI.
- FIXED: MIDI-Out won't crash external MIDI drivers like "hubies loopback".
(Bernd Roesch)
- ADDED: Jose's modifications to the sound routines and GUI. (Jose Gil)
NOTE: Read doc called "SoundSyncro Readme.rtf"
- ADDED: AHI driver support. (Bernd Roesch)
- ADDED: Option to disable use of overlays completely.
- CHANGED: Floppy-disk emulation, including .FDI support. (Toni Wilen)
- CHANGED: Picasso96 licensing/support notice (above).
- CHANGED: Removed references to "Amiga" in the GUI.
Download: WinUAE0817R3.exe (1,3M)

Music: Schlachtfeld "2" - intro soundtrack release
The strategy game "Schlachtfeld" which is still in development and currently
ported from the original AMOS game to a new C version of course requires
a music soundtrack. Horst Diebel, leader of the project, has hired the
musician Psyria for this task.
To get an impression of the game's soundtrack you'll find the final intro
soundtrack exclusively as MP3 (about 3 MByte) in the download area
of the Psyria homepage.
Psyria produces music projects exclusively with the AMIGA.
You can find more information on the game Schlachtfeld at the title link.

'Object Oriented Programming for Anybody' entered first level
Marius Schwarz wrote:
The first wattle got taken, the project OOP4A:
"Object Oriented Programming for Anybody" passed it's first
functioning test. What is this all about? Well, I don't dislike JAVA,
but on the Amiga it actually is "a bit" too slow and I would not be
able to write that with my favourit programming language. So, what would
be more clear than to develop a system for OOP in person.
Actually the concept is a quite simple one. With help of the oop.library
one can create objects and use thier methods. A preprocessor translates
the classes into extended Amiga shared libraries, which then become instanced
to objects by the oop.library.
Since it is possible to use libs on the Amiga with any popular programming language,
any language can also deal with objects. Writing a preprocessor for the language
completes circle. And because there is a fixed format for objects the class files may
be interchanged among one another.
What is required now are classes, masses of first class classes ;-)

The new public release of that great tool. Many changes and improvements
are there, a new complete filter, more flexibility for automated
operations, a complete rewrite of reports, statistics with bars and pie
charts, the last steps to Euro with Euro conversion, and few other things.
Like a new icon set. Enjoy!
The German catalog is not provided, I will release it as soon as possible.

Event:Amiga 2001 - The AC-DE will be there!
The Amiga-Club Deutschland, short AC-DE, will have it's own booth
on the Amiga 2001 in Cologne, Germany, and will introduce the club and
offer an attractive supporting program:
We will inform those who will stay at home or are undecisive about what's
going on on the show by a live webcam. We will organize IRC conferences
with Amiga developers, and show the latest hardware and software, like
Amithlon or the G-Rex-PCI boards for the Amiga 4000, from the user's point
of view.
And of course we are hoping to again be able to answer all of the visitor's questions
about the Amiga - the network at the booth with Internet access sure will be of
great help for us.
More information about the Amiga 2001 are on our homepage under the title link,
and of course on the official show homepage
www.amiga-messe.de.

Amiga definition in dictionary?! ;-)
By searching about the English online dictionary dict.org of course I tried our
favourit word "Amiga". And what a surprise, one will find an extended definition
(see title link)! Also interesting is, that we seem to suffer by one disease that is to
say the Amiga Persecution Complex.
Get well soon and accordingly take it a bit more easy! :-)
