Mystic Bytes updates Duke 3D December 25th, 2006
MiKRO of Mystic Bytes writes:
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 :)

Cyrano J of D-Bug writes:
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.

Outline 2006 movie December 22nd, 2006
CiH writes:
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.)

Oh, by the way, Merry Xmas Atariscene!

Nectarine demoscene radio is back November 12th, 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.

Inspired by the latest games of Paradize and Reservoir Gods, I've created a new version of STj which is also able to use Jaguar controllers. It looks cool live, and the JagPad is totally ergonomic for music control.

By the way, don't forget the maxYMiser compo - 1 month to go!

D-Bug #195 released November 1st, 2006
Showaddywaddy of D-Bug writes:
Hey.. it's Halloween... Well, we had the final 5 menus all tapped out ready to roll us up to 200. Then something special happened. Encounter! A VERY rare game so good we changed our menu plans to bring it to you. As you've come to expect, its 16mhz accelerated as well as fixed for hard disk installs making it resemble the Atari 8-bit version even more! So hop on over to the download page, and grab possibly the best ST release in over 15 years. We even took the opportunity to boost it for Falcons and MSTEs

Mystic Bytes releases Duke Nukem 3D for the Falcon October 23rd, 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

Fiskeboda Coding Konvention invite October 7th, 2006
Nothing major, but DHS released a small intro which informs about the Fiskeboda Coding Konvention party that will take place in december.

The intro is a quick-hack and contain no new effects to watch. Emulator use discouraged due to extra-flickery display, it's bad enough on the real thing already. We'll try harder next time.

YesCREW updates software January 14th, 2006
SWE writes:

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.

Showaddywaddy writes:

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 January 2nd, 2006
Ray 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

- you always release complete source code with all changes you did make to this routine to the public
- you always release the source code under GPL (or similar license) of the software that use this routine (i.e. you provide the source code)
