Mystic Bytes updates Duke 3D

Hello 060-guys :)
I've found some while to bugfix duke, so here you are. The most important change is you don't have to rewrite cfg file anymore (for correct sound mixing rate), just choose the one in configuration program. Another thing is ikbd handler, mouse is now working for about 90% and it's more stable.
Enjoy the xmas with duke :)
p.s. i'd like to ask you ppl, do you find another ports reallych _such_ important for ct60? there's a possibility (except SDL things) to port let's say Hexen II or Descent (I, maybe II) but it takes a lot of time... i'd be happy to read your opinion on this topic in bbs board here at dhs... i'd like to code another (less boring :) stuff but in case 90% of ct60 users want new ports, i can change my mind :)

To bring to an end "The 7 days of D-Bug" where we fixed up a few more games for your HD/Falcon/MSTe enjoyment in the run up to Christmas, we released a pure Falcon crack. However, not to disappoint all the ST folks out there we also bring you one last gift - D-Bug Menu 196 (a/b).
This conculudes our planned 2006 releases...However, we might drop the odd falcon fix out there for you soon.

Here's an early Xmas present, or possibly a very late release from the Outline '06 Party?
It's my camera movie footage, stitched together in a comedic muso-documentary format, with random moments taken from Outline, to give a five-minute 'taster' of the whole experience, or a nice reminder of those early summer days to the actual partygoers.
Anyway, go ahead and grab it (Quicktime format.)

Nectarine demoscene radio is back
|
November 12, 2006
|
|
|
The Nectarine demoscene radio collapsed a bit over a month ago. Failing hardware, bad ISP and busy admins. That's a perfect recipe for disaster, and Nectarine got silent.
Today Nectarine annouces that they are back, still in a limited fashion, but the streams are at place again. The entire site is being translated from ASP to PHP, which will take the admins more time to complete.

Mystic Bytes releases Duke Nukem 3D for the Falcon
|
October 23, 2006
|
|
|
MiKRO of Mystic Bytes continues to translate classic 3D PC-games to the Falcon. Now, the mega-popular Duke Nukem 3D have been brought over to the Falcon060!
Stats:
* 320x200, 256 colours
* VGA or RGB
* 24 kHz 16bit stereo sound
* Full mouse support
* TOS/MagiC/FreeMiNT friendly
Update:
A small configuration error affecting sound playback needs to be manually fixed; in your duke3d.cfg, edit the line with 'MixRate = 48000' into 'MixRate = 24585'. The video download below suffers from the bad audio as well.
Beside the much awaited Duke Nukem 3D release, MiKRO have also released an update to the Falcon060 Quake.
New additions for v1.02:
* Triple-buffer support => smoother, flickerless rendering
* Palette update does in vbl only (not waiting for vbl) => smoother rendering
* Added 'loading icon'
* killed -frametime parameter, replaced with value from 200 Hz system timer

Anyone remember the Falcon diskmag called Falcon Owners Group Update? Not too many I guess, this mag was mostly spread within UK as thats where the FOG usergroup was located.
For the 8th issue of the mag, Psychosis coded an intro. But just as the mag, the intro was never released. Until now that is. Argounat of Psychosis managed to find the nearly decade-old intro and released it today. Very nice of him!
The intro works on both RGB and VGA.

MiKRO of Mystic Bytes released an update to The Falcon 060 Quake with several improvements:

* Compiled with gcc-3.3.6 -m68060 -O3 => better performance
* HELP/UNDO keys renamed back to F11/F12 (to make .cfg files happy)
* Added m68k sprite drawing routine from another amiga port => better speed
* Support for another version of shareware edition (thanks to Patrice Mandin)
* Sound system is now stored and restored completely
* Mouse is handled in more sensible way
Testing the new version, it appears to be a little bit faster, about 3-4%.

Falcon060 Quake released by Mystic Bytes
|
September 7, 2006
|
|
|
MiKRO of Mystic Bytes has released a new Falcon060 port of the classic PC game Quake by ID Software.
The port is especially made for the Falcon, so it's unlikely to work on clones or Aranym.
The features are:
* 320x200, 256 colours
* VGA or RGB
* 24 kHz 16bit stereo sound
* Full mouse support
* 68060 optimized rendering routines (by Frank Wille)
* TOS/MagiC/FreeMiNT friendly
* runs in 99% time in user space so you can use memory protection, background audio (yeah, you can run aniplayer and then quake...) etc.
* support for some Eiffel keys -- '~', PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, MouseWheelDown, Pause
Please note; you need the Quake datafiles on top of the archive below.
Update:
Some additional comment after testing the port; this thing is really well made. Totally playable even on a bare CT60/66-16, good synchronized audio. It shows what optimization can do; this thing runs faster than the Doom ports which of course should be the other way around. Additionally you can also download a short clip of Quake running on a basic CT60 66-16 configuration.

Old Falcon game released
|
August 27, 2006
|
|
|
Anyone remember Opium? No? Well a few might, they released some smaller Falcon demos a long way back.
However, unknown to most was that Opium was doing a Falcon game called 'Rave', which imitated the classic ST game 'Eliminator'. The recepie is rather simple: Create Eliminator with textured graphics, multichannel audio and lots of colours.
The result is quite playable, but with what many would call 'coder colours' today. Music seems to be ripped from Amiga (at least the intro ziks).

A couple of weeks ago, UPX was released in version 2.02 with quite a lot of new features, a few of them important for Atari executables:
* Slightly better compression using the new NRV2E algorithm
* New options for compression tuning (e.g. '--brute')
* Various bug fixes
One of the nice features of UPX is that any of the supported platforms can crunch files for any of the supported platforms. Meaning your linux-server in the closet can act as a fast PRG-packer.

- improved playlist with shuffle
- dspmod plugin contributed by evil/dhs with sources
- preliminary mintnet support for streaming (not complete yet, titles are missing in icecast)

Big Floppy People - quick report etc
|
July 30, 2006
|
|
|
We arrived home a couple of hours ago after a looong hooot drive from Skåne in south of Sweden, which makes it about a 660km to drive, bluerk! Anyway, after a few days of harcore C-64 party and incredible heat with insane humidity, you're a wreck no matter if you drive for seven hours or not..
So, the Big Floppy People - a joint effort between the Floppy and Little Computer People parties was held during July 28-30 down in south of Sweden. An estimate of seventy-eighty people arrived, crammed up tightly in the hall. I don't think there was enough space for a single more computer. Getting used to comfortable parties again since last visiting LCP in 2004 it's definitly a big contrast to how these folks do their parties. The initial talk about unhealty, no sleeping area, showerless, few toilets and a partyhall of dirty concrete was of course true. Lamers as we are, we hadn't finished our contribs so having booked hotels in advance was a real GODSENT as we could get a bit of proper sleep. We higly recomend it to anyone going to LCP/BFP in the future :)
So, the party was mainly C-64, some Amigas, but very far apart. In fact I think we had more Ataris than Amigas there. For the compo, there were three Atari contribs; Timbral chipmusic, DHS Falcon demo and a surprise; an ST intro by The Ultra Crew - an old ST crew which made a comeback, featuring new chipmusic by Alchemist as well. Timbrals ST-chipmusic won the music compo, beating those Amiga protracker things and the DHS demo 'Derealization' won the demo compo, beating those Amiga 1200 demos ;-). The ST-intro from The Ultra Crew hit third place and put some Amiga efforts behind as well.
At the time of writing, we only have some photos and our demo available; Timbrals chiptrack will come up shortly once we have unpacked and set everything up properly. The Ultra Crew intro needs to be sent, we only have a non-final (pre-compo) version at our disposal..
Please notice that the videos of 'Derealization' looks quite a bit worse (jerky movement) compared to a real Falcon/VGA.

We've been gone a while, but now we're back. The disk images speak for themselves. D-Bug, 2006 - Rocking Your World. Blood Money and Arctic Moves featured here are only a taste of what's to come in the future from D-BUG. Our goal is to cater for all ST users, which is why we've raised the bar again and added support for the Falcon 030 and Mega STe. We said it a few disks back... Nobody does it better.

Just when we were releaved to know that The Beasts had moved to the Amiga, they strike back on the Atari. This is possibly their least good prod to date.
A few dots, a scroller, some rasters and something coming out of the speakers, which can hardly be described as music..

Immortal 3 remix double CD out
|
June 15, 2006
|
|
|
Gerry (The Thalion Source) writes:
It's the middle of the year 2006 and "Immortal 3", a double CD album presenting more than 150 minutes of the best game music arrangements from classic Atari ST/ Amiga games, is released by producer Jan Zottmann. Most of the tracks have been arranged by the original artists.
Jochen Hippel, known in the Atari scene as "Mad Max", presents a "Wings of Death" medley with a playtime of nearly 8 minutes, based on the music he did for Thalion's famous Atari ST/E shoot 'em up.
Besides, Jochen Hippel rearranged a track from Thalion's Amberstar. Ambermoon, Amberstar, "No Second Prize" and "Wings of Death" - all these Thalion games are featured on the "Immortal 3".
Other tunes making you turn up the volume of your cd-player are based on (but not limited to): Turrican II + III, Fire & Ice, Lotus 3, Speedball 2, Ghouls 'n Ghosts...and an orchestral interpretation of the Apidya main title.
"Immortal 3" is available from Synsoniq Records for 24,95 Euro. For a complete tracklist and ordering information visit the Synsoniq-homepage.
Along the lines of the title of Jochen Hippels CD I would recommend everyone who has an ear for high quality game music: "Give it a try"!

Grazey releases a new ICE packer

Grazey of the PHF have been working on a new ICE-packer which works as a ttp-file rather than the old gem/text hybrid.
The new version is easy to script from shells so you can do stuff like recursive packing. And, for multitasking users the ttp-ICE packs nicely in the background opposed to the old ICE which killed the mouse pointer and so on.

You need a Falcon060/66MHz to run it properly, VGA recomended.
When we realised that we once again (for the third year in a row) won't make it to Outline, we thought the least we could do was to make a little invite intro.

Outline Press Release
May 2nd 2006
In addition to the already announced activities, we are proud to present to you the first two live music acts to perform at the Outline 2006 demoparty, early june in Zevenaar, NL:
303f
&
gwEm
This is the first time Outline will feature live acts. We are excited to see the party develop in this direction, and predict that it will further enhance the atmosphere that our event is known for. A big "Thank You!" must go out to the involved artists, and the Demozone organisation for providing us with a PA setup. Without their assistance, it wouldn't have been possible to offer our registered visitors these shows free of charge.
Quote from http://www.303f.com/ :
"303f is a four-man live band creating electronic music they call atmospheric techno. Aiming to produce their own tracks and play them live on stage, they add uplifting sounds, melody and percussion to elevate regular techno to atmospherical proportions."
Quote from http://preromanbritain.com/gwem/ :

Most notably is of course the first Falcon 060 demo to see the light of day, although it's still a party version with a final version planned for later, offering improved speed for example. A divx video of Evolutions Falcon 060 demo is available. Much respect to Deez for being the first to break the ice!

Here's my attempt at a lossy image codec that should allow you to include more textures, graphics and so on in your 4ktros or 96ktros etc. without being forced to generate them.
The codec uses a simple haar wavelet tree decomposition and achieves compression rates of up to 1:80. v1.0 offers support for 8bpp grayscale, 8bpp paletted and 24bpp truecolor images. Support for a 16bpp RGB and a 16bpp CrY (jaguar) mode are planned for a future release. Seperate size optimized 68k decoders for the various file types are included besides the conversion tool (tga<->biq), an example program and the complete source code.

Outline 2006 opens it's doors!
Outline 2006 will take place from June 2 until June 5 in Zevenaar, The Netherlands. In recent weeks, we managed to sign a location that exceeds any previous Outline location in terms of quality. The organising team has been expanded, we've secured key facilities such as the partynetwork and proper audiovisual equipment. And last but certainly not least, we have assigned the pizza order system to Tinker once again. (Without telling him, ofcourse.)
Since every requirement for the party to take place has now been fulfilled, we're ready to accept pre-reservations for Outline 2006 tickets. Exact ticket prices are to be announced shortly. Depending on your choices, your ticket could be cheaper or more expensive than last year.
Those who pre-reserve a ticket will have the first choice of sleeping accomodations, once we have compiled the list with prices for these.
For more information on the (excellent) accomodation, please see the "Panoven" link below.

There's obviously been some interest on the dhs coding bbs, so i thought it would be nice to release "lz78" as a follow up to our recent datapacker based upon "lz77".
It should be more efficient regarding packing ratio while still offering a fair depacking speed. 68000 and 68030 versions of the decruncher are included and both optimized for size, so it should be an ideal solution for including data into 4k-, 96k-tros and so on.

Major new release of the SNDH collection

After four years of absence, the SNDH collection is reborn.
We present you 2246 SNDH files with a total of 4783 tunes to listen at. All original Atari tunes with no crappy StSound-conversions. Grazey have been in overdrive mode in the last year to rip and rip and rip, resulting in this phenomenal rebuild of the archive.
To make sure that the collection doesn't stagnate like the last time, we now have a database driven admin tool which simplify a lot of things, and will help us keep the archive up to date with minimal effort, even with dual-filename versions.

Following the Siliconventure video, by .tSCc., Felice have now digitized his videofilm from Error In Line 3 held in Dresen 2003.
The movie is unfortenly of rather low quality (especially soundwise) and is unedited.

EIL3 footage finally available !!
You'll notice many Atariscene people on this hour or so long unedited footage that I recorded at EIL3, back in 2003.
Enjoy it!!
cheers.

A couple of weeks back, gwEm introduced his CPU-useage tester for SNDH-files and asked if there was any interest of a release. It was, and gwEm promised a release.
Said and done, 'SNDH CPU' is now released and the poor coders can see how many precious cycles their musicans are really wasting :)

Nostalgia warning: Siliconventure 1997 footage!
|
January 18, 2006
|
|

Siliconventure, the last of the "old" german easter parties is a fading memory for many of us who went there. Lotek Style of .tSCc. wants us to refresh our memories though, as he has just released half an hour of unedited video capture from the party.
You can spot tons of familiar people here, or what about the entire .tSCc. (of course), Questor of Inter, Mr Pink of Reservoir Gods, Energizer of Lazer, Drizzdt of TNB, Grey of Mystic Bytes, Vat of Luzak Team, a very young 505 of Checkpoint and his brother No of Escape, Sage, Tat of Avena and many many more..
The downside of all this glory? You have to DL 200 MB :)

Introducing "Special feature" to dhs.nu
|
January 14, 2006
|
|

We're glad to announce a new section to DHS.NU. Initated by gwEm as early as two days ago, we're already opening it. The "special features" will be used for articles that does not fit into the scene news for being too long or just unrelated. Updates of the special features will be irregular.
First out is a mammoth interview with Kalms of TBL, made by gwEm. Kalms speaks out about his Atari interest, TBL's way of creating those stunning demos we've learned to love each easter.
Happy reading!
Read the first 'special features' article.

After slight delay, v0.8890 of Graoumf Tracker is out. Main feature is CT60/63 compatibility and Backdoor to GEM. There are some problems still with BtG in MiNT, but in TOS it works perfectly. It allows user to jump out of tracker to OS, and do some things there... Also small control interface exist in GEM and it also support AVSERVER. Will try to fix MiNT issues ASAP.
Folowing the fixes to GT2 replayer, our puzzler Capy and Gem GT2 player are also updated and should be now 060 happy...
Take care, Janez
Update (two hours later):
OK, after a looong night i finnaly discover a bug, preventing to play GT2 modules in GemPLAY, while they play perfectly in GemGT2, using same routines.
Anyway, v1.00 of GemPLAY is here now. GemPLAY can play ACE Tracker modules (*.am), NoiseTracker modules (*.mod), Graoumf Tracker modules (*.gt2), Art Of Noise modules (*.aon), SNDH songs (*.snd, limited to TimerC songs) and XLR8 Tracker songs (*.xms, a tad unstable). Enjoy.

D-Bug 189....
Orbiter by Spectrum Holobyte, quite a rare game cracked by our occasional collaborator GGN/KÜA (yeah.. he coded the fab menu on 178!).
Other goodies include a nice Horizontal arcade game - "Well 'ard" (now fully unlocked thanks to the author),
"The Adventures of Alice who went through the Looking Glass and came back, though not much changed",
keen fans would have seen that on 188 v1 ;)

.tSCc. releases Atari TT-conversion of Beams

Ray of .tSCc. writes:
As sort of a new year's gift i'm presenting you the TT conversion of our EIL III entry, the beams demo. i basically ported the demo to prove the TT's strength as compared to the standard falcon - despite requiring an additional c2p pass and lacking the fast blitter gouraud the demo still runs remarkably faster, especially the lipsync part. It seems the 32Mhz and the full 32bit bus do the job here - and of course to release something for an underrated and underfed platform ;).
Extra special thanks to DMA SC for doing an excellent job on the MP2->MOD conversion of the soundtrack and Lance for coding his fast and HiFi mod replayer (which is, however, not yet free of bugs so don't wonder about notes missing, occasionally).

We hope next update will come shortly, max. some weeks, certainly not three months. Your Noisy Team.
