Picasso96 Developers talk about Voodoo3 Drivers
On the CyberGFX site
a press release, and
several postings from the P96 mailing list has been published in which the developers of
Picasso96, Tobias Abt and Alexander Kneer, voice about the unauthorized Voodoo3 Picasso96 driver
from Elbox, and the future of the graphics driver system.
The Picasso96 license allows the development of new and commercial drivers only if one has obtained
a license. Besides the shareware fee this represents an important source of income. According to the
developers of P96 they received only a hand full of shareware registrations during the past two years,
which doesn't warrant intensive P96 development and along with this abdication of free time.
According to the developers of P96 Elbox had got in contact with them in reference to Voodoo3 drivers, and
had asked for the developer kit for P96. This request has been replyed to that effect of that this
kit is available for a fee. From the point of view of the P96 developers this fee was reasonable. But Elbox
stopped communication after this offer and developed the unauthorized Voodoo3 driver. The P96 developers
now are still hoping to come to terms with Elbox.
Further development of Picasso96 continues independent from this. At this time it is being worked on
implementation of the changes sent in by Thomas Richter. Furthermore other software and hardware drivers are
under development on which nothing in detail can be said at this time, cause among other things third parties
are involved in this.
The press release deals in more detail with the here in short mentioned items. More information are inside the
mailing list postings.

Possible Failure of Melody1200
It is possible that some Melody1200PRO of the last line has been delivered with a failure. A confusion of
the "Logic" which is in the central controlling chip of the board with the "Logic" of a following board is
the reason for it.
Perhaps it is therefore not possible to play RAW-audio with these boards. But the work with MPEG would not
be influenced.
Unfortunately it is not known if there are other board with this bug, except of one board which has already
been re-programmed again. Everybody who notices this failure with his/her board should mail to
KATODEV before sending in the board.

Direction change of HighAnt Development
Marco Frischkorn wrote:
Because of the present situation I feel bound to leave the sector of Amiga. We will finish BATTLE and
will be then no longer at your disposal.
In any case I will not be. The rest of the team probably will keep faith with the Amiga. You can read
further information under the title link.
I wish each one of the few remaining Amiga developer good luck and much fun with it. Maybe I will come
back some day. But this does not depend on me alone....
Yours sincerely Marco Frischkorn, HighAnt Development

Cinemaware publishes "Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown"
A well-known game is to start its comeback on Playstation 2, Microsofts X-Box, and Windows-PC.
Cinemaware will publish "Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown" in spring of 2002. The game bases on the
classical game "Defender of the Crown" from 1986. In all the mix of strategy and action was sold over
one million times on several platforms as on Amiga, too.
The revised version is set to the time of the "Avenger of the disinherited ones". You have to release
England from the clutches of the villain prince John.
In a mail one of the responsible persons said that the game possibly will be ported to AmigaPPC if there
is enough interest.

amiga-news.de and four partners decide to cooperate
amiga-news.de and four well-known Amiga oriented internet services announce their
long-term cooperation. While retaining the souvereignity of all services, we want
to offer our users direct access to the other services, and therefore placed links
to our partner homepages at easy accessible locations.
This agreement moreover creates a new basis for the exchange of contents, which is
already practiced for some time. For the future, we target to intensify this
cooperation.
Surely you already noticed the changes in our horizontal menu bar. Here, our partner
homepages are linked, so you can reach them with a single click.
About BBoAH - Amiga-Society - responsible: Horst
Diebel
10.09.2001 - The Amig Society was initially meant to be part of a cluster of three
sites, each of which would fullfill a different role. According to that plan, the
'Society' would have offered users and dealers the possibility to present themselves and
their projects. But as the other two sites didn't get developed any further, the
maintainers are about to integrate sections for hardware and software. This is how the
German translation of the "Big Book of Amiga Hardware"
came to be part of the Amiga Society, and now a similar approach is used for the
"Little Book of Amiga Software".
About Big Book of Amiga Hardware - responsible: Ian Chapman
This project was started by Ian Chapman on January 17th, 1999. With support from many users,
an extensive database of information about various Amiga hardware expansions, models
and peripherals was created. In addition to the English main site, there's a french translation
which isn't actively maintained right now aswell as a German mirror which translates the contents
to the German language step by step.
About Diskmag.de - responsible: Lars 'Ghandy'
Sobiraj
30.04.2002 - Diskmag.de tries to be a portal for friends of scenerelated diskmagazines,
no matter on which platform they come out. For your pleasure, we (Ghandy &
Zito) offer a big archive of articles, reports and interviews from various
magazines, just like our slogan: "All your eyes can eat!"
If you're missing friends you were in contact with many years ago, you
will (hopefully) find their valid url or email in our database.
In collaboration with the Swiss Scene Server we offer downloads especially
for the fans of the Amiga and PC demoscene. If that all isn't enough for
you (or your eyes), you can directly follow the ongoings in our newsarea
and leave a comment if you want.
About Amiga Arena - responsible: Olaf
Köbnik
01.05.2002 - Since 1998 the Amiga Arena tries to support the Amiga Shareware and Freeware scene.
With time-limited price reductions on Shareware software were used to create new impulses und
strengthen the bond between developers and users.
In addition to this, the Amiga Arena tries to create a 'bridge' between developers and users
by publishing interviews with various people from the Amiga scene.
Last but not least, Amiga Arena is trying to convince former shareware developers to release their titles
for free and offers games and quality software for free download.
