13 years later, ST-NICCC demo is improved :)

Main change:
- The music is no more STE specific. STF owners have music now! It use HexTracker replay routine by Paulo Simoes on STF, and still use Lance player for STE.

Minor changes:
- STE module replay fix (end of the music)
- Polygon filler optimized a bit (on STe)
- 3d dots intro part minor graphic bug fixed
- Added a nice OXYGENE logo before credits part

Hint: On STE hardware, press F10 during boot to force the STF version if you want.

To celebrate International Workers Day I am releasing a new version of maxYMiser, and after four years it is about time! There are some bug fixes and minor usability improvements.. but the main feature is a mode which enables MIDI note output on the STe DMA channels - this even works on non-STe machines. Finally you can sequence some external synthesisers with maxYMiser.

I hope you will all enjoy the new version.

Outline 10 is coming up soon!

Little more than a month remains until the longest standing yearly Atari demoparty takes place in Eersel, The Netherlands. This year marks the 10th consecutive edition of Outline, and the organising crew is already in full swing to make it a memorable one. We'll have all the features that our visitors have grown used to over the years, and more. More DJ's, more liveacts, more food options. But we'll also make some things better- availability of real quality homemade food will be expanded upon after the success of last year's curry dish, the Hapkar will be back, and we're taking drastic measures to prevent us from ever having power problems again (even if the problems were only minor last year).

But we cannot truly succeed in our mission to make this jubileum edition the best Outline so far without your support. The Atari scene is where we have our roots and we will always do everything we can to support it. However, in recent years the number of Atari releases at Outline has been going down steadily.
In part that can be explained by the fact that other Atari parties have emerged, another side of the story is that there's less releases overall. We think this is as good a time as any to break that trend and would like to encourage you to start getting creative again. Ofcourse it would be awesome if you can release something at Outline and thus be a part of the only Atari demoparty in known history to make it up to 10 editions and showing no signs of slowing down. But we'd also settle for you showing up to show off what you're working on ofcourse.

If you need any advice or information or if you have suggestions for the Outline organising team, feel free to ask via the BBS here or any of the social media services mentioned on http://www.outlinedemoparty.nl
Looking forward to seeing you in Eersel for the 10th time!

On behalf of the Outline organising team,

Havoc.

Dear atarians.

Welcome to archive fourteen from the NO FRAGMENTS series. Yes, you are not dreaming. Against my own statement from the last CD I could not resist to finish off this archive which was lying about 50% finished on my harddrive. So this "finally" might be the very last issue of this CD-Rom series. Huge web-archives and other new datastorage mediums making CD-ROMs become more and more obsolete.

This does not mean that I'm completely stopping all my archiving activities. Taking this to the next level would be my next steps. How this will look like? I cannot exactly say now.

lotek style / tscc^ymr - 29th of march, 2013

146 new/updated SNDH files (206 sub-tunes).

We pass the 7000 sub-tune total!!

Welcome to a new update of the SNDH archive.

Highlights this time includes : -

+ Music from the un-released game M.U.D.S. sent directly to us by Mad Max!

+ All the tunes from the recent Silly Venture party.

+ Exotic digi musics like Starglider using our new replayer

+ and finally! The B.I.G. demo digital department. How did this go un-ripped for so long?

We now have an SNDH blog so you can keep up-to-date with the SNDH archive and to glean additional information about each release.

Dear Sisters and Dear Brothers... Accordingly to my promise that till the end of January 2013 I will announce my decision about SV future, I am releasing it right now... :)

The last 2 months were very hard times for me. To be sincere, till today's day I have a big chaos in my head. Firstly it's a joy of unparalleled attendance and amount of received compo entries, from the other hand - fright... Why ? Well, with a common strength we managed to create the biggest event of this kind not only in Poland, but in Europe. It's obliging to something. Unfortunately, through the past few weeks I couldn't win the battle with... tiredness.
Problems during the event left an imprint on me, 4 hours without electricity just while before the start of competition still keep me awake at night... I didn't manage to finish all affairs which left after the SV2k12. I am so sorry for delays with sending SV2k12 gadgets, I promise to catch up on it withing the next few days. I wouldn't like to go into the details, but I just wasn't able to do it earlier. Many mails I've got from you still wait for response, forgive me.

In the near future we will present the web-site with voting on-line for SV2k12 compo entries. While I am here I would like to thank my mate Wieczor / LAMERS for all his unequivocal effort to make it real.

And now an information which is awaited by many of you - Silly Venture 2k13, it is 6th edition of the party dedicated to all users of consoles and computers produced under ATARI label ! This year we will meet one month earlier, it is from 8th till 11th day of November 2013. (Friday-Monday). This time an event it dedicated to the last hardware, released under the wings of Jack Tramiel (R.I.P) - Atari Jaguar console, that's why the SV2k13 logo is shaped like that.

Thanks to all who cheered me up, sent mails, calling and writing SMS's. I am so sorry if someone felt left out and I promise to improve.

Never Give Up ! STay ATARI!
