The end is nie, thankfully! Only two more menus to go. 198 features games which slipped beneath the radar, notably :-
Gauntlet III (m)ST(e),TT,f030
Outzone (m)ST(e),TT,f030
To make it even more scrummy you'll find a brand new Dubmood track and CJ has implemented a cross-fading effect (never seen before?!) on the ST. Enjoy.

As you might have read, Dune have released the Fantasia Collectors Edition. Although renamed to 'Fifteen' as Dune have now been around for fifteen years. The collectors edition have grown to a hommage of the entire Dune history, with all their releases including a graphics collection.
To top it off, there is a historic video with clips from many Dune productions as well as a brand new rendered part (really cool).
The release is a CD-image file that you need to burn (or mount). The video is also available separate from Scene.Org.

Hi folks! Just for the case someone else besides stu is still using Music-Mon you might be interested in the new version 2.5e fixing 2 non-negligible bugs:
* Replay / SNDH / Editor :
Playback of 100Hz and especially 200Hz Sounds slightly pitched down sample-playback on 8 MHz machines due to timing issues
* Editor:
'SAVE ALL' and 'SAVE PATTERN' introduced 32 Bytes of $0F Bytes at the beginning of each sample on every save process accumulating to a clearly noticeable silence after several save/load attempts (that's an embarassing one)
Thanks to stu calling my attention to both bugs.

Paranoid of Paradox have written excellent walkthru of the Power PC processor. It's history, comparison to 68k, the good, the bad and the ugly. For anyone with a bit of interest about micro processors, this is a must read.

Today I begin a new age of Paradize releases.
I have been busy with reallife lately (mainly finishing my studies) so we start this time with an update of my old little utility, the Desktop Configurator.
This little AUTO folder tool allows you to select one out of different DESKTOP.INFs to be in use.
The new version mainly adds TOS detection so it automatically selects whether it has to overwrite DESKTOP.INF or NEWDESK.INF depending on the active TOS.
Grab the tool at http://paradize.atari.org/ and enjoy!
STay cool, STay Atari /|\ !

Today Paradize releases a delayed production, the "Outline 2007 Slideshow". A production exclusively for the Atari Falcon 030.
This is is just a small "Thank you" production aimed at the Outline organizers for organizing such a cool party. My little set of party photos can be seen with small comments in TrueColor graphics with some digi music playing.
Originally I started to work on this right after the Outline 2007 party. However finishing my studies had
priority so I finished the release only of today. Once I had planned to use a real CPU heavy chiptune but it prooved to be too heavy on CPU in the end. So you only get DSP played digimusic by LHS at this time.
Just to make sure, we don't end up with no real after-party releases this time :)
And don't forget: STay cool, STay Atari /|!

It's been a dreadful year for DHS releases, not a single one.
Crazy Q is the saviour by keeping the DHS flag high at several live concerts. Playing music with his STe from a multiple of DHS demos (and more). Below you can download a nearly 44 minute long video of one of his gigs this year. There's also a bonus video with another performance, but not using Atari-chiptunes there (hint; it's a more fruity computer instead).
Enjoy!

For those who didn't hear it through the grapevine yet:
The 5th edition of Outline will take place from Thursday May 1 to Sunday May 4 (Ascension weekend!) at the premises of Te Boomsgoed in Braamt (same location as in 2007 and 2005). The rental contract has been signed some weeks ago, so there is 0% doubt left in our minds :-)
As this event will mark Outline's first lustrum, we are counting on your support to make it the biggest and best Outline party so far. Please be vocal if you have ideas, plans or suggestions for the organising team! And be sure we will be announcing some nice suprises for visitors in the months ahead... :-)

Let's start our time machines, set it to June 1995, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The first Nordic Atari Show back in 1995 was pretty cool, Unique Development Sweden were showing off their new Substation in multiplayer mode, Jaguar networking (Doom) were on display and a pretty good amount of resellers on place. Thanks to NoCrew, a demo party area of the event was held with compos. People from ICE, XiA, DHS, NoCrew (..), New Core, Impulse, New Beat, IMPonance and many more were on place, all in all a pretty cool party.
Less cool however was the winning Falcdemo: Something thrown together during a day at the party by New Beat, DHS and IMPonance. Buggy, ugly, short, bad effects are some words to describe it. The demo barely ran at the compo, and no effort was ever made to make a release-worthy version of it.
Yesterday I found the old floppydisk from the compo, and decided to see if it worked. No it didn't. However, after messing around I managed to run the parts separately, and I had to code a picture converter for the title pic so it could be viewed. Ok, no point to try make a working demo of this mess, most of the sources were gone anyway. So instead I made a cut-together video which should resemble pretty much how it looked back at NAS 1995.
Ok I know this is a long news article with no good content in the end, but with the current Atari-scene stall I gues it's better than nothing..
So, download the video or visit Youtube and have a laugh!

We finally hit the 3000 SNDH mark!
Tonnes of songs in this update, mainly trashy Music Studio 'tunes' from the dawn of the ST.
There are also a few gems, including tunes from a never released game called "Arcade Classix".
Oh and remember the SNDH forum at http://bbs.dhs.nu/tracking/ for requests and general chat.

After taking a break of almost three years, the Alternative Party is back in strength with a new team, a new venue and new programme (with just a bit of old mixed in). Our special guest will be announced soon but if all goes as planned, it will be one many will want to meet.
As always, Atari has a special place at the heart of the Alternative Party, although many other platforms are to be seen. Indeed, the Atari scene was the impulse for the very first Alternative Party, way back in 1998.
Expecting to see loads of you there!

D-Bug unleashes onto the internet: Menu 197! While a version was released at Outline 2007 to the assembled folks, this is the final build of the menu, complete and ready to be written to floppies everywhere. What's on it? Well, it's a long time favourite and classic game, that surprisingly was never put on a menu (obviously because it doesn't fit on one disk without missing bits out.... *cough* no names *cough*)
Yes, it's Gauntlet II! And as usual, you will find it ST/STe/MegaST/MegaSTE/Falcon Hard Disk compatible/8-16Mhz and also this time, trained with extra health for those of you not brave enough to fight the dragon!
This disk also features two new and exclusive tunes composed for us by new D-Bugger, Dubmood. Expect a lot more fantastic YM noises from us in future releases.

A new music demo from Paradox was released tonight.
It's a disk with 27 (!!!) new original maxYMiser tracks by 505. Some of the tracks uses STe enhanced DMA instruments.
The styles differ from oldskool blibbies to STU-like tracks and more traditional demo-style songs. Many of the ziks are using really cool sounds (as heard in 505s Outline and Breakpoint contributions).
The MP3-pack is recorded partly on emulator and partly from real STe, so volume gain might vary a little between tracks.

BSW have released a new demo collection disk. Now it's number #138 and features a bunch of BBS intros:
* 3x Dreamscape BBS
* Asylum BBS Demo
* Delta Force BBS Demo
* Eagles Nest BBS
* 2x Legion BBS
* 2x CCS BBS
* TFS BBS
* Frontbase BBS
* Nightbox Intro
* dataline BBS
* Outbreak BBS
* Toxic BBS
* KAOS BBS
* Lame Brain 2 Demo
* Contact BBS Intro
* Adlib BBS Intro
As a personal note, the Asylum BBS intro is made by DHS for the Megaleif party intro compo, but somehow it wasn't shown (too bad perhaps :)) and released later as this BBS intro instead. Coding by Bellman/DHS (here called Criz/2smart4u) with zik by Toodeloo (minimalistic 6.26 kHz mod). The initial (smaller) plasma plasma is to my knownledge the first ever halftone 4-pixel blitter plasma made. The larger plasmas coming later (press space) are 8-pixel blitter ones.
Ok, enough of todays nostalgy history lesson :)

Most of us have seen the classic 'Transbeauce 2 demo' by a lot of french crews. Among other things the demo features the worlds first SID-voice routine by Ziggy Stardust.
However, less of us actually made it to the party, so now DocProf have have digitized encoded an old video tape filmed during the party and Keops of Equinox have made it available.
About 250 frogs with Ataris visited the party. The movie shows a lot of activity going on, it seems to have been a great party indeed.

Today Brainstorms Adbug was released for free with a GPL licence.
Along with freeing up Adbug, a fresh build of the project is made available as well. Adbug now goes by the name Adbug Reloaded.
Back in 1994 when Adebug was put on ice, a new version called Adebug New Generation was in development with features like evaluating C expressions while debugging. Adebug New Generation is planned to be released at a later date, perhaps as Adebug 3.0

Finally the long forgotten beta version of Lethal Xcess has been released it has some unique features like:
* Music by Nexus 6 featuring ridiculous SFX and sampled voices :)
* Completely different level design
* Different player weapons (well there are only 2 of them and they are almost the same :)
* A few enemy sprites which didn't made it into the final version
* A modified level 3 boss featuring 2 heads
* Non existing loadable level logics, so the game will run the same level logic again with a non matching set of tiles :) you could call it a bug, but the truth is loadable level logic wasn't included at that time.
* Tons of sprites
* A modified skull bonus symbol, which acts like a smart bomb instead of downgrading your weapon systems.
* Losing a life means only losing one weapon power unit, not all of them.
