As you all might know it is time for the big Sceneevent "Breakpoint 2008" in germany. There are many competitions for our beloved Amiga. The event takes place in Germany and for those (includning me) who cant be there there are a live-stream from the competitions. Many great amigademos has been released on this party and I got the feeling that this year will be good. There will also be streaming from live acts and seminars.

Porting for Profit ported another quality game to AmigaOS 4.0!
This time it's a nibbles clone, but don't let that fool you.
This game actually is a lot of fun!

ART Episode 20 - BBRV is Back!

Hosts: Rich Lawrence, Sean Fitzgerald, Bill Panagouleas.
Guest: Bill Buck

My apologies for this LATE episode. Late is a mild term to say the least. Between working a 16 day stretch and the passing of my father, I really didn?t have much time or ambition to get this one out. I apologize. But, for what it?s worth, we?re back next week. Thanks for sticking with us.

Hyperion Entertainment VOF have released a new update for AmigaOS 4.0 on CyberStormPPC and BlizzardPPC equipped Amigas.

What's in the update:

• A new kernel that fixes outstanding issues with the Mediator 1200/Voodoo combination as well as some other minor bugfixes
  
• Support for all Mediator models, including the new Mediator 1200 TX
  
• Updated Intuition and Layers modules that fix a rare occurance of graphics trashing
  
• Fixed queue-handler
  
• Two AREXX-libraries that have been missing in the original release
  
• Updated RealTek 8029 network driver that fixes a lockup problem.
  
• A new version of DvPlayer SE.
  

Elbox Computer, the company that introduced the PCI standard to Amiga, is pleased to announce the latest Mediator model -- MEDIATOR PCI 1200 TX -- the successor of the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 SX.

New firmware embedded in CPLDs of MEDIATOR 1200 TX allows significant speed-up of graphic card operations when hardware 2D and 3D acceleration is used in single-processor systems (68k or PPC).

At the end of the year, I announced a delay but I hope you will enjoy what I added in this new version of PointRider to display your PowerPoint (PPS) files, mainly :

Allright, all you bangers, here?s what you?ve been waiting for!

Today I've uploaded A/NES v1.16b2, feel free to check it out. Some minor things has been fixed and one new feature has been added. It allows you to "simulate" the sound from the FDS diskdrive while running an FDS game. Insert a standard AmigaDOS floppy in your DF0: and activate the setting in the preferences section. Your Amiga diskdrive will simulate the read on your floppy to let you know when the FDS is actually reading.
Kind of useless, but fun perhaps? :)
Now for the sad news. This is most likely the end of A/NES. Due to lack of free time, lack of interest (hard to maintain these amounts of code) and due to lack of Amiga-users I've decided to put A/NES on ice from now on.
It's been fun but now it's over. Thanks for the feedback we've got during these years!
