  Brief Sommarhack summary June 28th, 2009  

Sommarhack 2009 have been going on over the past weekend. It was a small Atari-oriented party we decided to arrange when other classic Swedish parties have all gone one way or the other.

The weather gods were with us, the entire weekend being a long hot scorcher. Temperatures of 28-30C in the shade and a river to dip into just meters from the party. So far so good. Then add a bunch of cool Atari guys and it's a perfect recepie - thanks everyone for visiting!

Unlike our previous parties, we decided to have a small compo for music, graphics and demos. A few releases were made and you can download them all at our download page (see link below). Extra thanks to everyone who participated.

Photos and perhaps a party report will follow later on, thanks again all Sommarhack visitors, for us it was a great weekend and we hope to make this happen again next year!

Its time for a new maxYMiser release. Theres some nice improvements for everyone to enjoy:

* Improved buzzer arbitrage
* 'Fast As Possible' SID and syncbuzzer routines - Defjam/Checkpoint request
* Volume control on YM digidrums - an effect last heard from Lotus/Hotine back in the golden age
* Pitch slide command

But thats not all! Old skool YM wizard Excellence In Art has been using maxYMiser recently. He contributes:

* A stonking new example track
* A maxYMiser beginners guide, including a basic example track

You can look at the 'maxYMisr a Musicians Guide' and the basic example tune here: http://www.preromanbritain.com/maxymiser/tutorials.html

Don't forget to look at the maxYMiser official homepage for cool additional resources :)

  Starstruck lands on the Falcon May 25th, 2009

Hi guys,

everyone ready for some cool news? =)

Outline visitors already know, the rest is hopefully keeping fingers crossed.... yes, Starstruck (the final version!) is here right NOW.

In my opinion this is tough, tough, tough rival for Silkcut, I cannot decide which one rulez more :-)

Target configuration as always, Falcon 060 without bus speeder should do. The more megahertz the better :)

And as a bonus you can even watch in on VGA/60 Hz. But beware, all effects are fixed for 50 Hz so better to watch it on TV or VGA/50 Hz!

And honorable mention: thanks to Xerus for being really _outstanding_ tester, without him you would get much worser release!

  Updated No Fragment CD's May 25th, 2009  

Lotek Style of .tSCc. writes:

Lotek Style of tSCc has released two new CD-Roms from his NO FRAGMENTS series. This it's archive ONE and TWO refixed!

Archive ONE has lots of new demos on it as it is a 700 MB CD this time (first one was on 650 MB) and many of the MSA files have been repacked using
compression ON! So there are over 200 new files on there now.

Archive TWO has just some replaced MSA files that were damaged before.

  New Atari crew born May 24th, 2009  

Morden of Reboot writes:

"reboot" is a new group consiting of four individuals, coming together to create new software for the Atari Jaguar, ST and Falcon.

We have loads of enthusiasm, and lots of project ideas for future titles, so please stay tuned into our website.

For starters, we have a preview video of our upcoming Jaguar game. The footage was shot roughly 3 days into development, so we expect it to improve vastly
(especially when our artist gets to work on it!)

Once completed we will be releasing full source code, and also hopefully porting it to the Falcon and then the Atari ST.

Please, come and visit our site. Many thanks to atari.org for the domain registration, and to D-Bug for kindly donating us web hosting.

To celebrate the biggest Atari party of the year (Outline in case you wonder), we have released a new update of the SNDH archive.

v3.0 of the SNDH archive brings 35 new or updated SNDH files. It's a mix of brand new (even from the Outline compo!) and really old game tunes.

Enjoy!
