Dear visitor,
as you've probably noticed, the DHS.NU site have slowly but steady become less and less updated with
news over the last decade or so, to the point that it's only a handful of articles every year.
There are many factors playing in, but the most important have been that we need more editors, but a home cooked and unflexible way to
update the site with new content have been a show stopper.
But now, things change. A bunch of Atari demoscene veterans have joined forces to remedy the sitation.
We've opened a new site for news about
the Atariscene world. We hope it will be successful and live for many years to come.
DHS.NU will become a read only site in steps, starting with the news section. There are 1717 articles in
the archive spanning thirty years. We'll show a few random articles here on the front page and in the archive you can browse year over year.
We'd like to thank everyone who has visited DHS.NU to read demoscene news over the years and hope
you'll find Atariscne.org a good
replacement!
Blast from the past
(random news articles from 1995-2025)
The last week or so, there has been information spreading about a new "Super" Atari-clone computer. The information has been very very sparse, but still the key-people behind the (so far only rumours, although they claim it is for real) project have said nothing about specs or who are building it.
Haven't we heard this before? New Super Ataris (or Amigas for that matter) come and go like Windows is rebooting. And that mean alot. We've had talk about Atari clones from Ge-Soft, Wizztronics, Istari, Centek, CzubaTech, Oxo and Milan which never (so far at least) made it to a state where it is actually produced.
And now a new "Super Atari" is apparently planned again. Or planned, we know nothing what is planned, only that there will be (not even this has begun) a poll to receive as many pre-orders of the machine as possible. See, the machine won't be produced until 500 orders are confirmed. And, who will order without knowing 1) What hardware, and 2) What company is behind this mystery-thing?
Speculations.
Who can it be? Well, the spokesman ("Ulrich from Koeln") strictly denies it to be either Milan or CzubaTech. So, who's left then?
Medusa (Hades producer) ? Not impossible.
Wizztronics? Hardly.
Istari? Unlikely, they work with Cortex.
GeSoft? Out of business for years.
Centek? If they still own the rights to the Phenix.. not impossible.
Which else? Really have no clue. The fact that they call it a new "Super Computer" might idicate a PPC G4 design, as it's a "Super Computer" by definition (1-giga-flops sustained rate). But that speed would decrease performance alot doing 68k emulation, and then be far away from any "Super Computer" numbers.
Other hardware alternatives? Well, there is one thing that most people are bypassing. It's the new chip from Transmeta, the "Crusoe" processor. Which is mostly built upon software, and can, regarding to Transmeta cope with any instruction-set native. The only problem is that the only instruction-set currently available is the x86. However when/if the 68k version arrives, we're talking fun stuff, and perhaps this is what the new "Super Atari" is about? No, not likely, but it would be damned nice.
So to conclude all the above craptalk into a few words:
We have no fu**ing idea what's going on! :-)

Finally Leonard has released the Nostalgic-o-demo for ST/STe machines. The demo has a very well-choosen name. Almost all screens are in a very old fashion, that has been seen countless of times before.
A few parts stand out from the other, the intro especially. It's a really awesome 3d-world (bsp-tree, like the eko-system on falcon), too bad we didn't get more of this. There is also a quite nice texturemap/envmap screen from Overlanders, but doesn't come near the efforts by .tSCc. in framrate and size.
Also, cream has a screen that demonstrates their SID Emulator and plays the Union-demo original SID songs. The rest of the screens are as said above, old stuff, maybe a bit optimized.

The first "dreamhack" relase is here, it's a game by Paranoid/Paranoia called "Breakdance". The game is compatible with STe's and Falcons.

Nemo and gwEm present you with a little christmas stocking filler.
This application detects Falcon external DSP clocks (thanks to ST Ghost) and directs the audio matrix to use this clock and an external output (SP-DIF, FA-8 etc etc) with the YM chip sound output.
This gives superb recording quality, and it tested compatible with all popular chip sound applications that run on falcon.
