Event: H&P on AMIGA 2001
On the AMIGA 2001 which will take place this weekend we will present and offer our newest developments and products. Amithlon/AmigaXL, Freespace, ImageFX 4.5, PageStream 4.1,
StormC 4, ArtEffect Plugins Collection and much more.
The new combination of Athlon-Hardware and AmigaOS XL are highly newsworthy. The top-system consists of a noble aluminium-tower and has the new Athlon XP 1800+ as its heart. We also offer a suitable 15 inch LCD-monitor. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Great Freespace-presentation on the fair
There will be a great presentation of the final version of Descent:Freespace on the fair. You can watch the game on two computers around the clock. Additionally there will be a presentation of half an hour on Saturday and Sunday. At the same time the analog-joystick-interface will be together introduced with the game which supports it. The Amiga-port of Freespace has finished for 99.9% so the game will be available after the fair.
On the fair the demo-version of Freespace will be published. All those who order the game on the fair in advance will get a CD with the most current demos of Freespace, Heretic II and Shogo for free. Freespace as well as the new version of Heretic II which is on the CD will get graphic improvements for Warp3D v4.2.

Emulation: Playstation emulator FPSE 0.09, Amiga Revision 2
Mathias Roslund has released a new version of the Playstation emulator FPSE. It is the second Amiga-version which is based on version 0.09. You need a Playstation Bios-rom to emulate. There are some screenshots to the Amiga-version.
It follows the original message:
A new release with some bugfixes and added features. Memory card support
is fixed, and compiler (dynarec) and PSX Port support has been added.
There is also a switch to use READ_CD for CD support. This was used by
some of the FPSE/Amiga 0.08 revisions and might work better than CMD_READ
with some CD-ROMs.
Download: FPSE009R2.lha

First routines of Project Crashsite on the Amiga 2001
Here are two news on the Project Crashsite status:
On the Amiga 2001 there will be the first routines of Project Crashsite to
look at. There will be the rudimentary playable combat and the space flight
will invite to fly along the planets of Future II. I hope for many visitors and would
be happy about numerous suggestions and comments.
The poll on www.projektcrash.de (title link) turned out that five of six
votees prefer a PPC version.
As a first answer to this I would like to announce the following:
- The interlude animations in the game will be MPEG animations.
- Mathias Roslund gave permission to use AMP for playing the animations
in Project Crashsite, which makes an effective animation player for PPC and
CGFX available for the game!
Greetings,
Markus Pohlmann

Amiga Arena: PuzzleBOBs
In cooperation with Emanuele Cesaroni, Nexus Development, the Amiga Arena and
Fun Tim World present the game PuzzleBOBS, which is about a "Bust'n Move" clone
to be available on the "AMIGA 2001" show.
From now on the demo version is available on
http://www.funtime-world.de/puzzle.html,
and on the support page of the Amiga Arena.
About PuzzleBOBS
The game was developed by the Italian software company Nexus Development which
was founded by Emanuele Cesaroni. Worldwide distribution will be done by
Fun Time World in cooperation with the Amiga Arena.
Previews of "PuzzleBOBS" can be found in the current issue of the "Amiga Future" #33 (German Amiga Game print magazine), and in "No Cover" issue #88 (German Amiga disk magazine).
Technical background and more:
PuzzleBOBS is completely configuralbe:
- Screen mode (AGA / OCS / ECS / Picasso96 or CyberGraphX comaptible graphic boards).
- Bitplanes (up to 16 and 24bit screens).
- Playable in three languages (German, Itatlian, English).
- Playable from HD, full or partial installation (min. 14 MB).
- Written in 100% assembler.
- Level and sound import.
Backgrounds, bubbles, object speed, music and sound effects, explosion style, and masses of
other little things, as well, can be configured to match your own personal desire.
The game was programmed to allow different bubbles to have different characteristics. There are
bubbles that bounce back form walls, which of course simplifies severity. The game runs in full
multitasking on it's own screen or in a window on the Workbench.
When the game's window becomes inactive the game automatically turns to sleep mode, which is
a special feature to let you continue your work on the Workbench. In sleep mode even every audio channel and colour palette get's released - pure culture multitasking. Further and detailed informaiton can be found in the demo version's guide.

MUI under Windows XP?
Markus Bonet wrote:
To find out about why Windows XP should be so great I looked around a little
on the Microsoft website. I really was not aware, that MUI was released for
Windows, too ;-))
"Multi-Lingual User Interface - MUI -
allows to change the interface's language to display menus, help files, dictionaries, spell checking tools, ect. in the desired language."
But this sure would mean something different, somehow. ;-)

VarIO archive extended
The new VarIO software archive now also contains Parallelport drivers
for the Goldsurfer (Hypercom 3 module). Please mind that the ZIP driver
can only be used with Goldsurfer models not older than 15 months.
For use with older models, a hardware patch is necessary that is
also described in the support-area of our website.

MUI Security Bug-Fix (Update)
Jörg Strohmayer wrote:
PINT (mailtext and nlist) is affected by this Bug too. A bug-fix is available at the titlelink.
Instead of just fixing this problem for PINT I patched the muilowlevel.library.
Download: muilowlevel.library
Addition:
This patch protects all MUI-programs but not all other programs that use APIPE or AwnPIPE.

Individual Computers has licensed appp.device from Haage & Partner
In the course of development of the ADSL-driver for the X-Surf ethernet
card, we have licensed the appp.device from Haage & Partner GmbH. Our
goal is to speed up the interface between our xsurfadsl.device and the
appp.device, so the CPU load will be reduced dramatically. New versions
of the device for AmigaOS 68K will be available for free. (ps)
