MorphOS: Updates of the AmiNetRadio player GMEmu, sc68 and STSound
The AmiNetRadio plugins GMEmu, sc68 and STSoundare available in Version 3.0 for MorphOS now. With these plugins several music file formats from the Atari ST and some consoles by Sega and Nintendo can be replayed.

The GMEmu.player is based onf Blargg's Game Music Emulation library by Shay Green. The following formats are supported:
  • Nintendo NES (.nsf)
  • Nintendo Super NES (.spc)
  • Nintendo Gameboy (.gbs)
  • Sega Master System (.vgm, .vgz)
  • Sega Mega Drive (.gym)
These files may applied as gzip and the nsf and gbs files may contain subsongs.

The plugin for the sc68 formats is based on the sc68 library by Benjamin Gérard. Beside the known from the Atari ST and vom Amiga 68 format (with arond 90 different replay routines and multiple subsongs per file) sndh files (Atari ST) are replayed also. Selection of subsongs is done with the time position slider.

The STSound.player uses the same called library by Arnaud 'Leonard' Carré to replay ym file from the Atari ST. The non GPL plugin is approved by the author.

BarsnPipes: Tools Joy2Drum and Joystick released
Alfred J. Faust has released two ne tools for BarsnPipes, Joy2Drum and Joystick.

Joy2Drum

Joy2Drum contains two tools which use a joystick for MIDI input. Initially written for the drum track, now "normal" notes input is possible, too. Usage requires some practise.

Joystick

Joystick emulates an analog joystick like can be found at some modern synthesizers. It is possible to control two realtime events by mouse (e.g. volume and reverb).

Configuration of he tool is free to choose by the user. Like usual with BarsnPipes, the events can be recorded directly to a track.

MorphOS: OS4Emu 1.8 allows the use OS4 libraries with MorphOS
With version 1.8 of the wrapper OS4Emu by Illka Lehtoranta support for OS4 native libaries has been added in that kind that these may be used now just like if they were libraries for MorphOS.

To use OS4 libraries with OS4Emu it is required to rename them with the extension '.os4' and to copy them to the directory 'SYS:OS4Emu/Libs'. Then bind them with the commands 'assign LIBS: SYS:OS4Emu/Libs ADD' and 'PatchLoadSegOS4 OPENLIBPATCH'.

Due to their suffix '.os4' the same library may be installed to the system twice, as MorphOS and as OS4 version - is the native version not available the OS4 version is used instead.

Please note that not all AmigaOS4 libraries can be used with MorphOS. Yet only several cross calls between MorphOS and AmigaOS4 are suported. The direct objekt interface (DoMethod(), SetAttrs(), etc.) works, but the hook interface (CallHookPkt()) not.

The following AmigaOS4 libraries do therefor not work under MorphOS:
  • MUI classes (MUI custom classes, mcc)
  • BOOPSI classes (3rd party ReAction classes)
  • mpega.library (there is an additional problem also...)
Datatypes may or may not work.

Further improvements in V1.8:
  • Bugfix at the calls MatchFirst(), MatchNext(), MatchEnd(), AllocDosObject() and FreeDosObject() from the dos.library, fixes also the LOCCounter error
  • Bugfix and improvement for calling functions from the intuition.library, gadtools.library and exec.library as well as the ReAction emulation classes; from the GadTools fix the AmigaOS4 version of SGrab benefits, but there is still a problem with the menu.
  • Addition of the function EncodeColor() to the P96 wrapper
From the currently 139 tested AmigaOS4 programs 75 are known to work flawless; 19 more seem to work also, but were tested only briefly; the remaining 45 programs do not work yet.

Team AROS: Bounty #33 placed for back porting of the MorphOS shell commands
Neil Cafferkey initiated the bounty project #33 of Team AROS. The reward was placed for the back porting of the shell commands taken over by MorphOS.

The only pre-condition is the bugfixing of commands normally already existing in the C directory of AROS - there's no need of an enhancement of the functionality.

Malfunctions due to errors in other software layers do not affect the bount, either.

In exchange to this he withdrew bounty #26. This project had the goal to make the VESA graphics mode selectable without adaptated GRUB boot loader. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Patric Klöter (ANF)


Happy Birthday, Amiga!
20 years ago the Amiga was shown to the world public. As representative for all the "crazy ones" who still can't get away from the world's best computer system we let our reader Patric Klöter speak who indeed did write a n anniversary :

"Happy Birthday, dear Amiga! Today, 20 years ago, you were shown for the first time to the world public and it was in the New York Lincoln Center. Andy Warhol, Debby Harry and many other famous people were there to see your birth as first of all multimedia machines. In Deinen ersten Lebensabschnitten hast Du große Erfolge gefeiert, gefolgt vom Verlust Deiner Mutter, Commodore, und Deines Vaters, Jay Miner im Jahre 1994. Als Waise fandest Du Zuflucht bei Petro Tyschtschenko, der Dir im Sommer 1995 ein neues Zuhause bieten konnte.

Weltweit millionenfach verkauft, kannst Du zwar heute keine wirtschaftlichen Erfolge mehr feiern, aber die vielen Freunde, welche Dir beiseite standen, sind geblieben. Auch heute noch kümmern sich viele Amiganer rund um den Globus um Deine Gesundheit und haben es auch geschafft, Dir in fremden Welten ein Zuhause zu geben. Dir, lieber Amiga, wünsche ich noch ein schönes, erfülltes, langes, digitales Leben in der Welt der Bits und Bytes. Du hast es Dir verdient!

And don't forget: Good friends are the most important thing in the world!

Your friend Patric" (cg) (Translation: wk)
