Puzzle game: G.E.M.Z. 1.1 for all Amiga systems
G.E.M.Z. written by Fabio Falcucci and Pascal Papara is a commercial puzzle game. The goal of the game is to push bricks of the same colour closely together to make them disappear (screenshot, video).
In version 1.1 there are some new preferences. Additionally the programm code was highly optimized:
- Got several FPS increase in all scenes for the High and Medium detail levels
- Huge speed up in the Play screen rendering +35% for High and Medium detail levels
- Fullscreen message was corrected for Amiga, OSX and MorphOS systems (alt/cmd/amiga+enter)
- Now it's possible to turn on/off the music in the main screen and in the pause screen, this setting will be saved for the next sessions
- During language selection the you may change the details level which will be remembered for the next game sessions
- Added Swedish and Japanese translations, fixed english translation
- Corrected the sprite layers order in LOW and MIN settings
- Now all musics are encoded using OggVorbis/128Kb, this means that the
game size is now around 130Mb (depending on the version), MacOSX PPC
is still 480Mb because a bug we are trying to resolve.
- Speed up in game matrix initial rendering, madness level rendering is
much faster now
- Reduced 20% SoundFX volume
Since November 2012 G.E.M.Z. has been sold for free with all sold AresOne complete systems. If you purchase the game now and later an AresOne you will get back the money for G.E.M.Z. Purchasers of the software bundle A-Live will get a free copy of G.E.M.Z.

PCI-Busboard: Documents for Prometheus PCI released
12 years ago Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski developed for Matay the PCI-busboard Prometheus. Now Kraszewski has made available all files on his website which are necessary for the production of the hardware.
The available firmware is being used in all 250 produced Prometheus-boards. Some years later E3B reworked the original firmware for the project DaVinci - this new firmware can also transfer DMA.
On amigaworld.net Filip Dąb-Mirowski (Matay) has announced that E3B will make available this updated firmware versions under e3b.de/prometheus/ soon which will include a brief instruction for a firmware upgrade of the Prometheus.

Changes in version 0.9:
- Added switches for FILES, DIRS, and LINKS, it is also possible to
intermix them.
- Changed the name for "EHead" to "Exe" (and "eh" to "e").

amiga-coding.de: Developer forum for all Amiga-Systems
Olaf Schönweiß has established a forum which is to serve as discussion basis for developer of all Amiga systems. According to Schönweiß the site is supposed to be "neutral and to support all systems and the cooperation". "Emotional" discussions are not desirable. It is based on utilitybase.com which is not available anymore.
Schönweiß asks all former developers registered at Utilitybase to upload their Utilitybase archives on archive.org to amiga-coding.de because he is not allowed to do it himself.

Hyperion: AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6, automatic updates in future
The AmigaOS 4-team has released update 6 for users of AmigaOS 4.1. Registered customers can download the update from website of Hyperion. The update does not include any bug fixes but is supposed to be the basis for future updates:
Instead of collecting minor updates and relasing them in big packages ("Update 5", "Update 6"...) new versions of AmigaOS-components in future will be available immediately via the simple package manager "AmiUpdate". A new preferences tool called "Update" will manage the automatic updates. Additionally a new "Update software..." menu item on Workbench now launches AmiUpdate.
"Only registered users will be able to download updates. To register your AmigaOS serial number go to www.hyperion-entertainment.biz. During the registration process a user name and password will be created. You will be prompted for your user name and password the first time you try to access the update.amigaos.net server with AmiUpdate."

Podcast: Giana Sisters Tribute (BitJam-Episode #161)
Jürgen Beck wrote: Even little girls are getting old one day. Once upon a time, in 1987 to be precise, we played around with two cute girls on C64 and Amiga: The Great Giana Sisters. A great jump 'n run game in the style of Mario, featuring fantastic music by sound magician Chris Hülsbeck.
Now, 25 years later, a new game with the twin girls has been released. After a successful Kickstarter campaign Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams was brought to life by Black Forest Games. With music by Chris Hülsbeck himself, Fabian del Priore and the metal guys from Machinae Supremacy plus awesome graphics where you can switch fluently between the beautiful landscapes and dark places this download title captured our hearts by storm.
Now we want to celebrate the 25th birthday of the Giana Sisters together with the creators and you! The BitJam podcast episode #161 features not only the original Giana theme, but also music from the DS version of the game, which was released in 2009, the brand new Twisted Dreams game as well as some cool remixes. Jump, dash and twirl together with us through a beautiful soundscape!

MorphOS: Scriba 1.3.0 (China-Update)
Scriba is a simple text processing software which is still in development by Carsten Siegner. Since version 1.3.0 it is possible to write Chinese characters with the help of a input method. For this it is important to know how these Chinese characters are transcribed in Pinyin. Additionally an Unicode-font is required which can display Chinese characters.
Scriba now also has an ARexx-port with three commands. Complete ASCII-texts or unknown characters in UTF8-code can be added with the Rexx-command to an existing text.

Windows: WinUAE game management iGame for Windows (beta version)
The game management "iGame for Windows" is inspired by the WHDLoad extension of the same name and makes it possible to start a game with WinUAE (Screenshot).
Features currently include:
- Recursive folder scanning for your games.
- Storage of all game titles found in a local database.
- Use screenshots, music and extras from GameBase Amiga, if found. They are displayed on the right hand side for each game.
- Launch the selected game in WinUAE (with the selected UAE configuration) with a simple double-click.
- Music playback using the bundled XMPlay player, or alternatively DeliPlayer2 if it’s found installed.
- Search for selected game in well-known related websites (LemonAmiga, HOL).
- Live filtering of games from the list, depending on your search text.
- Multi-disk game handling (utilizing the DiskSwapper feature of WinUAE).
- Option to show only unique game Titles (default) or all files found.
The following features are planned to be included later on:
- Support WHDLoad games (scanning, launching, metadata), besides just ADF/ADZ/ZIP/IPF.
- Fetch game metadata from various websites and store them locally for each game.
- Edit game metadata like screenshots, music, selected UAE config, information etc.

AROS: 68k-Distribution AROS Vision 1.5.5
Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k-distribution. It is a mix of AROS and AmigaOS software (English tutorial). Version 1.5.5 includes now the full versions of Real3D and SoundFX. Amigaguide documents can be opened without crashing the system. And there are two different versions of AROS Vision:
Additional to the standard distribution now a "Classic"-version is available as well. The author calls this a "Light"-version because most of the applications and CLI-extensions were removed.
Both versions can be installed with a certain "Workbench environment":
- Wanderer as filemanager, Zune as GUI-Toolkit (preferences)
- Scalos and Zune
- Scalos and MUI
You can get further information e.g. about how a a working ARexx-host can be added to the distribution on the website of the author.
Additionally some Youtube videos have been published which show the news, Scalos and Zune, Scalos and MUI and several applications.

Workbench-replacement: X-bEnCH 0.74 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is an Amiga game launcher with 128 colors on screen (even on the developer's 7 MHz Amiga 2000B). This frontend autoscans the harddisk to find WHDLoad games or .exe files and and organizes them into launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.
Changes:
- Fixed the OCS/ECS blue bug color in the init screen
- Start a bit faster
- New display refresh method for the launcher now as fast as light on a simple 68000/7
- Mouse pointer is now blanked
- Fixed the slow display of the Starfield menu on 68000/68010
- Now correctly switch off the display on the menu screen when needed
- Minors bugs fixeds

As this will be Amiga Future 100, we'd like to hear from you: how and when did you learn about Amiga Future? Why are you reading it (or not reading it)?

We created some space in the crypt, so Higgins can reply to all your letters in issue 100. We'd really appreciate if you could write him at Higgins@amigafuture.de, the sooner the better. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Video: Trevor Dickinson (A-Eon) about AmigaOne X1000, Warp 3D and LibreOffice
Robert Bernardo has recorded Trevor Dickinson's presentation on the AmiWest 2012 (18.-21. October, Sacramento) and uploaded it to blip.tv (requires Flash) and IntuitionBase. Here is a little summary of the speech.
AmigaOne X1000
Currently the third production run is made. Until January all computers will be delivered to the customers. Dickinson called that a "probably last production run". He said that there is no shortage of PASemi-CPUs - but they cost 975 US-Dollar which makes the production of further computers unlikely.
Dickinson explained that the current production makes a loss of 475 US-Dollar on each computer.
Further PPC-based motherboards
Nonetheless there are plans for new hardware. In future processors made by Freescale will be used. A "Mid-Range-Product" with a Quadcore-CPU with 1,5 Ghz is considered as well as a "High-Level-Product" with a Dualcore-processor with 2.2 Ghz. But it will still take some time before it will be ready for the market.
LibreOffice
Thomas Frieden was introduced as chief operator for the LibreOffice-port but Dickinson several time mentioned the "Friedens". Currently it is spare time project. The development was started one month ago. Results can be expected only in distant future. The finished port is supposed to be sold, "probably" as package with other software.
Warp 3D-driver for Radeon HD
For Radeon HD 5000/6000 graphic boards currently Warp 3D-drivers are deevloped. Dickinson had hoped to present the finished drivers on the AmiWest but he expects the drivers to be released soon.
