WE WENT AROUND AND SAW SOME AMAZING LOW EXIBITION-PRICES. E.G. A 1.8MB RAM EXPANSION FOR 279 DM !!!!!! LATER ON RUMORS ABOUT A PARTY WENT AROUND, BUT I LEFT TO EARLY TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT. A LITTLE NOTE ABOUT THE "POOR" SOFTWARE COMPANIES: WHEN I SAW THE STAND OF UNITED SODFTWARE MY HEART STOOD STILL FOR A MOMENT.A REALLY AMAZING BIG STAND WITH A LIGHTSHOW AND ABOUT 10 TO 15 AMIGAS. ON EVERY AMIGA WAS RUNNING A NEW GAME. SOME SCENES FROM COMPUTER GAMES WERE SHOWN ON A BIG SCREEN. IF THOSE COMPANIES TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIG CRISIS THEY HAVE BCOZ OF CRACKING I CAN'T BELIEVE THEM. I GOT NICE STICKERS FROM DIFFERENT GROUPS. WE (BOMBER, UNKNOWN AND I) SPREADED A LOT OF VOTING SHEETS THERE. HOPE THEY'LL ALL FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO ME ! ALL IN ALL THE AMI EXPO WAS A BIG SUCCESS. HOPE TO SEE YA AT NEXT CEBIT! - BYE - ¶Interview with Octoplex of GATE done on telephone by Bomber of AMAZE. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.

At first, inroduce yourself ! Well,my name is BANDOG and I am a coder of the BEASTIE BOYS. I am 18 years old and those days I am learning the job of an electrician. Maybe I should mention that I live in GERMANY ! (West,HEHE) 2. When was Beastie Boys found and why doesen't ya continued with Irongods ? Beastie Boys were found some years ago but died. The old members wanted to rebuild the group so they offered us to join. So we did. We wanted to change our name anyway ( coz of internal problems ) so this chance came in the right moment ! 3. How many members has BB now ? At the moment we are 8 guys in BEASTIE BOYS. But we need more cool coders! 4. What's ya job in BB ? My main activity in the group is to organize the german part of our group and to do some (lame?) coding... 5. Have ya been in other groups before ? Well, I started 1987 in IRONGODS. I stayed there until today coz I saw a progress in that group. I also have a DEEP friendship to all the members. 6. What was ya biggest success ? I had no REAL success yet.Of coz we always got responses according to our intros / demos but there was nothing special yet. 7. What can we expect from BB in the future ? (The MegaDemo???) YEAH ! You can expect our second MegaDemo soon (it's release-delay passed 4 months now !) and I hope that this will be a big success. 8. Now, at always, tell me ya favourit : a) Group b) Demo c) Coder d) GFX Artist e) Musican f) Tool g) Drink a) RSI b) BUDBRAIN MEGADEMO c) PROMAX/KEFRENS d) JOE/SCOOPEX e) Maniacs of Noise,Dr.Awsome/Crusaders f) SEKA 3.2,IFF-CONVERTER/KEFRENS g) Beer,Coke ! (continues in next article) ¶(continues from previous article) 9. Do ya have problems with the police ? Well,first time those assfuckers 'contacted' me in 1988 when I was on 64. Since they had no real things against me it went out properly. Exactly one year later I got a visit by those green pissers. They took about 150 disks and 3 kg of old letters away. I had to pay 200 DM after being on court. Now I am FUCKING LEGAL coz I am 18 and next time I would kiss the ass by joining the jail ...!! 10 Did ya have an other computer before the Amiga or have ya still one ? Yes,I owned a 64 for 4 years.But in 1988 I bought an AMIGA. Nowadays I only own a full expanded AMIGA 500. 11 Do ya like copy-partys ? I personally never visited any party although I got invitations by TRISTAR , RADWAR IV , E & L , ALCATRAZ, IMP 666 & NO LIMITS, RAZOR 1911 !! Maybe it depends on the fact that I have NO own car (yet) and so we had no driver... But I think, copy-partys are a cool invention ! 12 What do ya think about the scene today ? The scene became SHIT ! Coz only SPEED rules so everybody buys a modem. Where is the friendship ?? As far as I know there doesn't exit any letters between the modem-traders !? I think,a good personal contact to my mates is important !! But I must say that the demos got a very HIGH Quality,it is always amazing what people can get outta the AMIGA !! 13 What do ya make on saturday evenings ? Well,sometimes I do some coding. Sometimes I visit a party (without comps) anywhere to have fun and drink some beers. Usually I hang around at my mates places... 14 Tell me ya favourit Beer. I drink almost ANY beer (if it is cold) but I prefer good names like VELTINS,WARSTEINER,BLKSTOFF !! (yea, WARSTEINER rules!!!.ed) 15 Do ya like the Hamburgers from McDonalds ? Do ya like anything from them ? Yes,I love that shit food !! The bad thing is, that a hamburger costs 2 DM and you have to eat 5 ones to get something into your stomach at least ! And I never thought, that dead animals would tast that cool !! (continues in next article) ¶(continues from previous article) 16 What do ya like, what do ya hate ? I like cool demos,musics... I hate assholes who put together several source-codes and think that they would be great coders ! 17 Please tell me ya best friends in the scene ! Well,my personal best friends are (not complete): PRINCE/PHAZE 101 BEAMRIDER/SPREADPOINT MIKE D./SIDON STORM/REETEC ELMINSTER/ELITE INC. and finally BOMBER/AMAZE ! 18 Something more to say ? Some messages, some special greets ? Only my special greets to my contacts and to all members of our group. Contact the FRIENDSHIP-MOVEMENT ! It the best thing ya can do ! I wish YOU ALL (especially BOMBER much luck with their mag and thanx for this interview !!) BANDOG is OFF !

E:Well,I'm 17, nearly 6ft tall and I wear a size 9 shoe ! A:Ok. Tell us about your pirat carrer (C64, AMIGA) E:My carrer started many months ago on a 64. Still an amazing computer. Then in June last year I got my Amiga.I was very lame for quite a long time. Too long. Now, I wouldn't say I'm famous yet,but I've definatly improved a lot. A:Tell us something about Ensignia. E:Ensignia has now 7 members: 4 coders, 1 music, 1 gfx and only 1 main swapper (me). We really are very productive. At the moment we are concentrating on vectors, but we also released 2 games and soon a mag. We are spread very far away from each other (average 1500km !) which is a problem. No foreign divisions. A:Have you ever confronted with the police or with the post ? E:NO ! All police care about here is real crime, and anyway they wouldn't know what pirated software is! South Africa is a hackers paradise, but the only problem is the slow (1 week) post. A:What is your opinion about wishes ? E:My wish is to have a 14400 modem ! A:How much time do you spent in front of your computer ? E:About 4 hours a day A:What do your parent/girlfriend think about your computer-activities ? E:They don't mind most of the time, but it does make problems sometimes. A:What are your other spare-time activities ? E:Riding motorbikes, playing squash and rugby A:What's your full configuration ? E:A500+512k 3,5 and 5,25 drives, Phillips sterio monitor and about 500 disks. A:Futur planes of your group ? E:Most importantly, fame. But also we want to open a fast board and get envolved in making a great mag. (continues in next article) ¶(continues from previous article) A:What do you think about the future of the scene(think of AMIGA-console)? E:To be honest I think it stinks, especially the idea of CD's. In my opinion this will kill all talent and ambition in the scene. Also you can't pirat CD's ! A:What's your thoughts about the FRIENDSHIP ? E:The Friendship movement is one of the best things that ever happened to the scene. I just wish it could work well in South Africa. This is a very aggressive country, so even if we are friendly it doesn't take to long for someone to start threatening us with war or doing other VERY stupid things I say "Let Friendship Rule !" A:Last words ? E:Yes. Thanx you for the interview. I look forward to seeing this mag ! I can be contacted at: PO Box 2210 Johannesburg 2000 South Africa ¶INTERVIEW WITH CRUSADER OF REETEC (THE PUNISHER OF AMAZE) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A = AMAZE R=REETEC A - NOW TELL US ABOUT YOU PLEASE.

We appreciated all your congratulations and your votes that brought Freedom Crack to number 9 in the Crusaders Eurocharts. Thanx! Some words from Filippetto/Amaze who rewrote the code. I don't know what you think about this code,I don't care! I rewrote it because at the mo nearly all magazines have 80 column text. Then I decided also to improve the selection mode. In my opinion is much more intuitive and fast to select the articles with the mouse than looking at the contents and then enter the number of the page... Don't you think so,too? We recommend you to send articles! Come on, be intelligent ! Are you a troglodite who's only able to send an advert coz it's for free ? We know that inside all your damaged brains there's a writer's talent! So why don't you send us your masterpiece ? A small note to Brainstorm: sorry, we know it, we used your font. But! We put your name in the credits... And when we will get another cool font we will replace it, ok ? Ok, it's enough. See you all in Freedom Crack #5 (God only knows when...) Your Editors Important note: in this issue were supposed to be also some articles from Resolution 101, but we still haven't got them, so maybe they will appear in the next issue... Ah, by the way: keep on voting Freedom Crack in the Eurocharts !!! CREDITS ------- Coding: Filippetto/Amaze Music : Galaxy/Amaze Font : Brainstorm ¶THE HISTORY OF THE I N S I D E R S (MURDOK/INSIDERS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THIS IS THE (BORING?) HISTORY OF INSIDERS: INSIDERS CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING MEMBERS: MURDOCK (GRAPHICS & AMIGA FANATIC), MAT (FORMER NAME WAS MATSCHO, AND 1ST CODER), DOC BRAIN (2ND CODER & AMIGA FANATIC ), RESCAL SWAPPER & AMIGA FANATIC ), H.L. ( KEEPER OF THE SEVEN SOFTWAREDEPOTS) AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, COUNT ZERO ( POTENTIAL MEMBER OF INSIDERS & AMIGA... YOU KNOW). YAWN...THINK IT'S GETTIN' A BIT LATE , DONTCHA' THINGGGGGGGGGGGGG? OH, SORRY, I JUST FEL L ASLEEP ON THE WRONG KEY. PLEASE CUT ALL THE G'S ABOVE OUT OF YOUR MONITOR AND PUT IN A 'K', WILL YOU? YES?? REALLY??? DON'T JOKING???? GOOD GUY !!! WELL, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR OUR STORY.ALL BEGUN ON THE GOOD OLD C-64! SOON WE BECAME ADDITIONAL MEMBERS ON THE 64 AND IN SPRING '90 THE DESASTER, OH SORRY, I MEAN THE GOOD TIME BEGAN. MAHONY AND MURDOCK, IN THESE OLD DAYS 'T.C.', BECAME OUR FIRST MEMBERS ON AMIGA! LATER ON, RAZOR (NAME OF THE 64) MOVED TO THE AMIGA DIVISION OF INSIDERS (ADIOS FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ABBREVIATIONS) AND ONLY ONE REMAINED IN THE 64 DIVISION - COUNT ZERO. SOON HE GAVE IT UP AND WAITED FOR AN AMIGA TO COME. TIME PASSED AND THINGS HAPPENED... THE FIRST THING: HE MANAGED TO BUY AN OLD AMIGA 500. AND SOME WONDERFUL DAY INSIDERS SPLIT ! A SHOCK WENT ALL OVER THE WORLD, THE BIRDS STOPPED TO SING, THE SEAS WERE PULLING BACK, THE EARTH QUAKED, METALLICA CAME TO HANNOVER AND I WASN'T ABLE TO GET A TICKET, SO NEARLY EVERYTHING GOT OUT OF CONTROL. IT WAS IN THESE HARD TIMES WHEN OUR BELOVED FRIEND AND MASTER(UAAAAHHHHHH), COUNT ZERO, SPOKE THE HOLY WORDS: 'DON'T PANIC, GUYS, EVEN ROME DIDN'T BURN DOWN IN ONE DAY.' SO THERE WAS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND INSIDERS WERE REFOUNDED BY DOC BRAIN AND MURDOCK. RAZOR, MAHONEY AND SOME OTHER LAMERS FOUNDED A NEW GROUP CALLED XXXXXXX. SOME DAYS LATER MATSCHO (NOW CALLED MAT). A BIT LATER TWO GUYS ASKED ALSO TO JOIN OUR GROUP: RESCAL AND H.L. AND IN THIS FORM WE STAYED TILL TODAY. SO NOW WE'RE ON THE END OF OUR HISTORY, AND NEVER FORGET: INSIDERS ARE COMING UP AND... SIGNED MURDOCK OF INSIDERS ¶JOB CORNER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here it is, our job corner,for the first time...So there aren't a lot of ads.

IF YOU ASK YOURSELF NOW, WHO AND WHAT IS THIS, THEN YOU SHOULD TRY TO GET FREEDOM CRAX 1-3, COZ IN EACH ISSUE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THEM. AND AGAIN I WROTE AN ARTICLE THEM. FOR ALL THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW SEDUCTION YET, I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT THEY ARE 'THE FAMEST FROM THE LAMEST'... GOT IT? AS YOU KNOW THE 3 LAME GUYS FROM SEDUCTION GO IN THE SAME SCHOOL CLASS AS I. SHIT! AND ON THE FIRST SCHOOL DAY I MET'EM AGAIN. OK, THE FIRST SCHOOLDAY IS NEVER A GOOD DAY, BUT TO MEET 3 LAMERS AFTER 2 MONTHS AGAIN, WHO THINK THAT THEY ARE THE BEST IS REALLY THE DREADFULLEST YOU CAN THINK OF. AFTER TWO MONTHS PHUN (DOING NOTHING, GIRLS, SUN,...) AND THEN YOU MEET 3 KIDS AGAIN, 3 AMIGA USERS, 3 GAMES PLAYER,3 BABIES TO SAY IT WITH ONE WORD. WELL, I HAVEN'T ANYTHING AGAINST LAMERS (EXCEPT SEDUCTIONS) BUT YOU SHOULD TRY TO MEET ONE OF THEM... THEY ARE LAMER THAN EVERY LAMER... LET ME TELL U A LITTLE STORY, AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN...YOU ALL REMEMBER THE 'ENERGY-CHAOS' PARTY IN WEIZ, OR. THERE WAS A GUY FROM SEDUCTION TOO. WHY? I CAME WITH ME! WHY ? BECAUSE I ASKED ME TO COME WITH ME AND I ALSO HADN'T ENOUGH DIRTY CASH. WELL, HE, A 15 YEARS OLD KID LOOKING LIKE 12,STAND THERE BETWEEN ALL THOSE COOL GUYS (EXCEPT MARK OF 'SUCKWAY' COZ THIS ISN'T A COOL GUY, JUST A SUCKER) AND SAID NOTHING (NOTHING!!!). NO HE JUST STAND THERE... SAID NOTHING. LATER I TOLD HIM TO GO AROUND... AND HE DID. I HAD TO SAY WHAT HE HAVE TO DO !!! OF COZ NOBODY WAS INTERSETED TO TALK WITH HIM (WHO WANTS TO TALK WITH A BABY) AND SO HE JUST STAND THERE AND LOOKED WHAT'S GOING ON... WELL, THAT'S WHAT I CALL PARTY ACTION. DOING NOTHING... YEP, THAT'S COOL. AFTER HOURS OF 'HOT' PARTY ACTION WE WENT TO OUR HOTEL.. WE TOOK A 2 BED ROOM FOR SAIGON, ME AND THIS SEDUCTION GUY. WELL, TWO BEDS AND THREE GUYS, THAT MEANS THAT ONE GUY HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND? WHO ? SAIGON ? I ? OF COZ NOT, NO, OUR KID HAD TO SLEEP ON THE GROUND.. HEHE!

NOW, GERMAN FREAKS WHO HAVE FOREIGN CONTACTS CAN BE LUCKY. YOU ASK WHY ??? U JUST HAVE TO PUT STAMPS WITH A VALUE OF ABOUT 0,10 DM ON THE ENVELOPE! THEN PLEASE INSERT THE STUFF YOU WANNA SEND TO YOUR FOREIGN(!) FRIEND. OF COURSE U FIRST HAVE TO PROTECT THEM AGAINST THE POST WAYS OF DELIVERING A SENDING WITH SOME HARD MATERIAL. THEN GO TO THE POST OFFICE AND THROW THE SENDING INTO THE YELLOW BOX OUTSIDE THE OFFICE.YOUR SENDING WILL ARRIVE AT YOUR FRIEND WITHOUT HIM HAVING TO PAY FOR YOUR FAKING ! COOOL, EH? THE METHOD WILL NOT WORK ON AIRMAIL - SENDINGS AND FROM GERMANY TO GERMANY.PEOPLE OUTSIDE GERMANY, PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THEY DO THIS,WE'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR ACTION.NO GUARANTEE FOR ALL THIS, BUT OUR CONTACTS DID NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT US. EVEN NOT THE BEST ONES! (ed. Thanx for this trick.We(Bomber and Pinhead/AMAZE) used this faking-trick about 2 month ago,too. All works good but after and after more freaks told us to put more stamps on the envolope coz they had to pay for it !!! So this fakingtip didn't work on the most skandinavien towns coz the POST swapped informations about that and now they know this cool trick. Sorry !!) ¶WIZ STORY IN THE SCENE... (Wyrmslayer/Res.101) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All begun when I bought my first computer in 1986 ! It was a Commodore 128! I started swapping and buying software from other guys and shops!! Then I found my first group called DTS Group (still living!!!) My code name was Wiz and I started to become a bit famous! But other times were arriving... I bought an Amiga 500 and I was really happy of my new computer. I started again to swap and buy soft from local software shops and guys and I founded my first group on Amiga, it was called The Shadow Force! But my life as computer freak had to change as I knew Filippetto (at that time member of the Zicco Zacco Group!) This guy coded the first intro for me that wasn't ripped and we started swapping demos and games ! Then I found an advertisement of Mr.Fly of Italian Cracking Service! I phoned him and after two weeks or so I joined ICS and then two weeks or so I asked Filippetto if he wanted to join ICS too and he said yes !! I think I had a real good time in ICS as Filippetto did but after one year or so we got tired of being member of this group because we were the only active guys on Amiga!!! So after the cooperation of Savage and ICS died we (Wiz and Filippetto) joined Savage! This group was our first real big group with many members, skilled coders, good swappers and so on ! I personally have to thank Savage for launching me in the great scene of Amiga. Of course we improved more and more and Filippetto became a skilled coder and I started to train and onepart the first games! I also did my first cracks... This story continued till this summer...Then the mistake happened... Sterling (hi my great friend!!!) left Savage coz he got sick of the scene and Saigon (hi also to U my friend!!) had to take the whole HQ. So for a while we in Savage Italy didn't get anything from the HQ...So Filippetto decided to leave Savage, between us there weren't hard feelings! As said before it was all a big mistake, coz Saigon had sent lot of stuff but the post in this case was very very slow!!! So Filippetto joined Amaze and I decided to change name and I took the code name of Wyrmslayer because there were too rumors spread about Wiz! But then I decided to leave Savage and join Res.101! I think that is really difficult to have good contacts between members while you live in different countries! So no hard feelings! The best for you my dear friends in Savage, expecially Sterling and Saigon ! Well this is the end of my story and I hope that everyone understood why we left Savage ! Coz I heard some rumours that we were saying that Savage got lame and so on!That isn't absolutely true Now I'd like to have a good time in my new group and to improve my ability in coding, cracking and training ! Bye ! ¶INSTRUCTIONS ------------ Mouse up/down select articles Cursor up/down scroll current article's text up/down F1-F5 select 5 different background colors 4-5-6 on keypad add 1 R-G-B to text color 1-2-3 on keypad sub 1 R-G-B to text color Enter reset text color CTRL Switch music on/off ALT Switch low pass filter on/off ESC exit As always critics and comments about the options are welcome...

Don't forget to write your address! ¶GAIN TIME IN SWAPPING (Raistlin/NS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Each day, it's the same problem... you receive about 4 or 5 packs, and you don't have always time to answer all of them in time, I mean the same day. The best way to gain a lot of time is to take 2 or 3 good stuffs, and to copy them with 'repeat' to all your contacts. While copying, just write some short letter for each normal pack. Put the faked stamps, and mail them !!! Always wait a bit and write a long letter for your best friends.At least they won't scream about the stuffs you send !!! ( not like the swap-machines... ). Also try to have a good utility to print addresses on envelopes, if you haven't got a printer, just organize a cool address-book and don't forget to write each new address you get in it. If it's a book, hide it !!! Cops may find it... If lame people write you because of an advert somewhere in diskmag, just give the pack to one of your cool friend who's not as good as you, but try anyway not to keep the disk and not to burn the letter, that's not a cool act ! If you've time, use the 'swap-it' program... it's easier to find a stealer later... That's all...next time I'll tell you how to code a megademo in 2 days. Raistlin/North Star ¶HOW TO SWAP SOMETHING ELSE (Raistlin/Northstar) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction ------------ Why should we always swap boring disks, with always the same stuff on it, ... I mean always dirty introcollections full of 'first demo by lamamia', 'compussylation #3652', and nameless things like that... cool people try to send pictures, music, chocolate, and even beer. Funny eh ? It's the best way to make friends, and to say later to your son or daughter: 'once i swapped teethpaste and russian carpets'! Okay, in fact i'm writing this article not to tell you to swap such stuffs, but the way to mail them... You want to send illegal (in most of cases...) : ------------------------ First of all, don't write any sender address if what you send is illegal things like: weapons, vegetables, fish, bombs, and toys that postmen and custom-house officiers don't like very much... in this case, better send all in a little box with a lot of adhesive paper, to discourage them to open it, because don't forget that if they want, they can open your pack without your permission !!! Don't forget also to put the right postage and a readable address. On the back side of the pack, in the custom sticker, write that it's a present, and something like 'vhs', or 'book'. If you also wanna send a letter in the pack, send it separately.And to reduce the risk of losing something, better make a different pack for each item. You want to send legal : (no risk, no fun!) ---------------------- If you want to send books, shoes, guitars, vhs, audio, etc... just put it in a workable box that you buy at the post ( about $2 ), put your stuff in it, close it ( put some adhesive if you want... ) and send it !!! If it's a very expensive stuff, better send in registered (mainly if you're sending from france !!!). Anyway,keep in mind that what you're doing is totally legal! (why not putting fake stamps if you wanna stay normal ???).If you send LP's or fragile things, take your wall-blaster pen and write near the address: 'fragile' or 'handle with care', or 'explosives'... I think I told all what I know about this subject...send me a letter if you think something I told was wrong, or if you'd like to improve something, it'll be published in next issues anyway !

(question suggested by some people around) - Look our Anti-CSI Demo we released with New Dream of High Tension... - Do you play some instruments? - No... Thanx to Storm of Divina for the interview! ¶Interview to FREELANCE (Raistlin/North Star) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HI CINCLANT!

FIRST, THE MOST ORIGINAL QUESTION FROM THIS SHIT: WHO ARE YOU, WHAT DO YOU DO,AND TELL US MORE ABOUT THE MEANING OF YOUR CREW! WELL RAISTLIN, I AM CINCLANT OF FREELANCE! I AM A GRAPHICIAN, SWAPPER AND EDITOR FOR OUR NEW ALL S.A DISKMAG! I ALSO DO A BIT OF VHS SWAPPING! OUR CREW WAS ORIGINALLY STARTED BY OUR TWO MUSICIANS: FOXX AND BAROQUE, WHILE I WAS STILL IN MY OLD GROUP! FREELANCE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO SONGS FOR OTHER CREWS! THIS WAS BEFORE WE, ALL GOT TOGETHER,WITH SOME CODERS (3), AND FORMED A REAL GROUP! 2. O.K, NOW, WHAT DO YOU PLAN FOR THE FUTURE? YOU ALREADY HAVE GOT A SECTION IN GERMANY? HAVE YOU GOT MORE AMBITIONS? YUP! WE ARE JUST BUBBLING WITH IDEAS! WE HAVE ALREADY RELEASED A FEW THINGS! WE ARE STARTING ON AN AMAZING NEW MUSIX DISK, WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING A REAL (AND THE FIRST S.A DISKMAG, WHICH WE THOUGHT OF FIRST) SOUTH AFRICAN DISKMAG! (WATCH OUT EUROPE). WE ARE BUSY ON SOME PROJECTS (AT LEAST OUR CODERS ARE). MORE NEWS AS I MYSELF AM TOLD! WE ARE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, AND THE WAY THINGS LOOK, WE ARE RISING TO THE TOP! 3. DO YOU THINK THE USA AND EUROPE'S CONFLICT WITH IRAQ WILL CHANGE SOMETHING IN THE AMIGA SCENE? WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, NO! NOT UNLESS YOU ARE LIVING IN A PLACE LIKE TURKEY, WITH THE CONSTANT THREAT OF THE IRAQIANS! OTHERWISE, THINGS SHOULD JUST GO ON AS NORMAL! 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOZE? WHATEVER IS GOING! HEH! HEH! HEH! 5. IS IT LEGAL TO BUY TEAR-GAS, ALCOHOL, X-RATED FILMS OR COPYING IN S.A NOWADAYS? IS IT LEGAL ANYWHERE? WELL, BOOZE IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING LEGAL TO BUY IN S.A NOWDAYS, AND THEN ONLY IF YOU ARE OVER 18 YEARS OF AGE! OTHER THINGS ARE ALL ILLEGAL! 6. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE FREDERICK DE KLERK? CARRY ON DOING WHAT HE IS DOING NOW! IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING (EXCEPT AMONGST THE BLACK POPULATION DOWN HERE, WHO ARE FOREVER KILLING THEMSELVES IN RIOTS.) THE OVERSEAS GOVERNMENTS SEEM TO BE HAPPY WITH HIM, SO VIVA DE KLERK! (continues on next article) ¶(continues from previous article) 8. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN EUROPE, OR HAVE YOU LIVED YOUR WHOLE LIFE IN S.A? WELL, IN 1987, I WENT TO EUROPE FOR A MONTH. I STAYED IN ITALY (GREAT PLACE), AND WENT INTO FRANCE FOR A FEW HOURS (ALSO A GREAT PLACE). OTHERWISE, I HAVE JUST GONE AROUND THE COUNTRY OF S.A SEEKING ENTERTAINMENT AND REST! 9. WHAT, ACCORDING TO YOU, WOULD BE THE PERFECT AMIGA USER, AND WHY? WELL, RAISTLIN, I THINK SOMEONE, WHO DOESN'T HOLD GRUDGES AGAINST EVERYONE, HAS A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR, COOL, AND READY TO GIVE ANYONE A CHANCE! MAYBE IF WE HAD THAT TYPE OF PERSON (WE DO HAVE A FEW,I THINK!) IN EVERYONE, THE SCENE WOULDN'T BE SO SERIOUS AS IT IS! 10.WHAT ARE THE JOBS OF THE FREELANCE MEMBERS? WELL, FIRSTLY, ME: I GO TO SCHOOL, AND THAT IS IT! THEN, BAROQUE: HE ALSO GOES TO SCHOOL, AND DOES SOME WORK FOR HIS FATHER! THEN FOXX: HE DOES NOTHING (JUST JOKING). HE SITS AT HOME. HE ALSO GOES TO CLASSES I.E PHOTOGRAPHY ETC. THEN HAWK: HE IS OUR CODER, AND IS BUSY AT UNIVERSITY, AND WORKS FOR HIS UNCLE'S PRINTING SHOP, AND PROGRAMS FOR SOME COMPANIES. THEN NIMROD: OUR OTHER CODER, GOES TO SCHOOL AND CODES. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IS KETHER: OUR LAST CODER! HE IS THE YOUNGEST IN OUR GROUP! 15 YEARS OLD I THINK! HE GOES TO SCHOOL, AND FINISHES IN 3 YEARS WHILE BAROQUE, NIMROD AND I FINISH THE END OF NEXT YEAR (CHORTLE! SORRY KETHER! HEH! HEH!) 11. WHAT DOES THIS FORMULA MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT:X^3-Y^3=(X-Y)(X^2+XY+Y^2)? WHY! IF WE ARE TALKING 2 DIMENSIONAL, THE ANSWER IS: A LINE THROUGH THE ORIGIN PARALLEL TO THE X-PLANE! IF WE ARE TALKING 3 DIMENSIONAL, THE ANSWER IS: A PLANE IN THE XZ VECTOR SPACE THAT CUTS THE Y-AXIS AT 0. THE REASON WHY, IS WHEN EVALUATING THE EXPRESSION, Y=0! 12. DO YOU FREQUENTLY WEAR FOUR PINK ANDGREEN SHOES? COULD YOU GIVE OUR READERS A FAST PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT ABOUT IT? UH! YES, WHEN TRAVELLING THROUGH THE INTERGALACTIC ASTRAL PLANES IN ORDER NOT TO LOSE THE LIFETHREAD FROM MY BODY TO MY SOUL, ME AND MY METAPHISICAL BEING ARE LINKED THROUGH A COMMON PAIR OF THESE SHOES! 13. AND HAVE YOU GOT ANY SPECIAL HELLOS OR KISSES TO THROW TO SOME GOOD OR BAD FRIENDS WORLDWIDE? HI MOM! 14. OOOPS! I WAS ABOUT TO FORGET IT! DO YOU LIKE HEAVY METAL MUSIC? DEPENDS ON HOW HEAVY (HEH!HEH!). IT IS ALRIGHT! I LIKE MOST MUSIC! THANX FOR THE INTERVIEW!!! ¶SMAU PARTY REPORT ----------------- An exciting paddy report written by Filippetto/Amaze, Bitjoker/Res.101 and Alter Ego/Pioneers. This amazing report about the GREAT party organized at the SMAU in Milan is refering to the last day coz we arrived there only sunday (fuckin' school...) We (Filippetto, Bitjoker and Alter Ego) had to meet at the railstation in Padova at 8:00 AM.After some minutes (Bitjoker is always late) we started our trip to Milan by train... The trip was not so cool, coz Bitjoker was always looking to the girl to his left, Filippetto was studying the ' Against Eratostene' greek oration by Lisia and Alter Ego was talking with Filippetto about his neighbour who is a drummer who's better than him (Filippetto) in playing drums and also is loved by the girl who's loved by him... At 10:40 (late) we arrived in Milan and we had to go to our friend Patrick of Abakus, but there was such a fuckin' noise that we couldn't recognize what subway to take and so Filippetto called Patrick. While he was talking a group of hooligans passed by and so he didn't understand almost a fuck. Anyway we reached to meet Patrick and we went to the SMAU with him and a german friend of him. After entering (of course Bitjoker failed to compile his module) we decided to eat something and we went to buy 4 hot dogs and 4 cokes... Patrick was back with 5 hot dogs and 7 cokes, we don't know why... Then Patrick went to the empty cans cruncher and crunched 2 full cans causing a noise... At this point we decided to join the party (?) with the other groups and so we entered the CBM stand where we meet Paranoid, Terminator and some other guys of Zero Defects (hi Xenio!) plus some guys of High Tension, and Marco of Dreams of Power (now in Zero Defects). (continues in next article...) ¶(continues from previous article) All the released demos had been shown in the previous days... All we could see was a bunch of lamers playing some original games for free.. Patrick used his knife to unlock one of the locked Amigas that were there to play the games and showed some stuff, and Filippetto took the opportunity to show to just a few people the Kick Ouch Demo (coz at that time he still was a member of Savage). Since he place was too narrow we went to Patrick's house to see and copy some stuff. Patrick used his fuckin' Syncro Express and of course there were 1 disk out of 5 without errors, anyway... At 16:00 we back to the SMAU and this time it was much funnier coz we met Storm and Mr.Copper of Divina who are very cool and friendly. We made an interview with them and we greeted some guyz of ZD who were leaving. Then we went around with Patrick, Paranoid/ZD, Dreams of Power, High Tension, Venice Connection and Divina. Paranoid took a photo of us with his camera found in the Dash (20 minutes to load the flash), then we made another interview with High Tension who released maybe the best SMAU demo.Suddenly some men came and made a job offer to all coders, Filippetto and Magic P went to a phone to try the trick to call for free. At 17:30 we went out to go home after havin' greeted Tomcat of Quartex and of course all the other guyz. The weather was a real shit (rain and cold) and we hadn't a sunshade with us (we took with us sunglasses and summer wearings...) so everyone repaired his head as well as he can. Of course we had to find the subway station but it wasn't easy with such a rain... So Bitjoker, who seemed a priest, a sked to an astonished policeman where the fuck was the subway station. The policeman told us the direction and so we ran in the rain for 2 minutes till we reached the station... Filippetto seemed a wet little chicken, and the Subway was full of people crunched into a small space... Finally we arrived to the rail station, Bitjoker finally managed how to use his 50.000 liras and payed 3 sandwiches also for Filippetto and Alter Ego. Finally at 19:00 we started our trip back to Padova in a train full of people like hell, but luckily after almost 1 hour we found 3 empty seats.But something terrible had to happen. In the middle of the trip the train stopped coz the motor broke down.. So we arrived to Padova at about 24. Anyway it was a cool day and we meet a lot of cool and more or less friendly guyz... And we would like to send our special handshakes to Patrick/Abakus, Storm and Mr.Copper/Divina and all the ZD members... ¶ECS (Raistlin/North Star) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As you may know the new chipset is composed by a SuperAgnus + SuperDenise.The first characteristic of these new chips is that you have 1 Mb of CHIP RAM (Cont. Video Memory). Of course, because of these new capacities, some registers had been modified to create new ones andto improve themselves, but with keeping the compatibility with the old Chips.Of course if the programmer use the new ones, this won't work on old ones, so you must choose between new capacities or compatibility. Some improvements of the new Chips... - 32K*32K pixels Blits. - New HiRes mode in 1280*512 with 2 bitplanes. - Mode 'Productivity' 640*480 with 2 Bitplanes no interlace. This last mode requires a multi-sync monitor and is the same as the VGA 3 standard 8514/A mode. About the KickStart V1.4,it will be usable by the A1000 that can't receive the ECS, and by the A500 - A2000,even if they aren't whole enhanced(The whole equipment is: SuperAgnus+SuperDenise+Monitor Multi-sync or Bi-Sync). There's also a device which you can work with multiples grey shades with a A2024 monitor, and this up to 1008*1024. This last mode is made by the soft and the monitor's hard. It doesn't require ECS. On the other hand, you must have the Kick 1.4 libraries,so the A1000 can use it with a A2024 monitor In fact, it's only a juxtaposition of 4 Hires Interlace Screens that is made by the monitor. All these modes can't work together because of the differents beam frequencies,even on a A2024 Monitor.Another new thing about these Chips: You are able to use another color than Color00 for the GenLock user.About the new Agnus, it can do 32768*32768 pixels blits.The size of the blit is written on the BLTSIZE register and runs when you write the size onto this register The bits 0 to 5 show the number of wordsto transfer (What can make a 1024 (2*(5 bits * 2 bytes). The 10 l ast bits code the number of lines to blit, from 0 to 1023 also.The init of this register is calculated like that: Height << 6 + Width >> 4... (W and H in pixels). It is impossible to make blits with a size > 1024*1024 with the old Agnus, that's why there's two more registers: BLTSIZVand BLTSIZH. The first one is containing 15 bits that accept 32768 lines and 10 bits for the 2048 words=32768 pixels. First you must initialize BLTSIZV, and then BLTSIZH (that runs the DMA). BLTSIZE 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 V9 V8 V7 V6 V5 V4 V3 V2 V1 V0 H5 H4 H3 H2 H1 H0 BLTSIZV 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 V15 V14 V13 V12 V11 V10 V9 V8 V7 V6 V5 V4 V3 V2 V1 V0 BLTSIZH 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 0 0 0 0 0 H10 H9 H8 H7 H6 H5 H4 H3 H2 H1 H0 (continues in next article) ¶(continues from previous article) The addresses of these 2 new registers:BLTSIZV=$05C BLTSIZH=$05E ($DFF000). To use these new capacities, together in keeping the compatibility, you must know which chip you have to use. So you simply have to test VPOSR ($004): VPOSR 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 LOF I6 I5 I4 I3 I2 I1 I0 LOL -- -- -- -- V10 V09 V08 The bits from I0 to I6 show which register it is: 10 NTSC Agnus 8361 or 8370 00 PAL Agnus 8367 or 8371 20 SuperAgnus 8368 or 8372 programmed in PAL 30 SuperAgnus 8368 or 8372 programmed in NTSC And in $07C is found the DENISEID register that contains $FC in these 8 low significant bits, beware anyway because this register exists only on SuperDenise (8373) and not on the original DENISE (8362). Still in DENISE,you can use the SuperHiRes mode that allows you to have a 1280 pixels Width without the Multi Sync monitor. With the 320*200 in 6 bitplanes (64 colors) with 140ns pixels, and in 640*400 with 70ns pixels and 4 BitPlanes (16 col.), but the palette is divided in two because ofthe DMA that can't follow. And with the SuperHires mode, 35ns pixels, there's 2 Bitplanes (4 colors). Here the palette is only 64 colors long. Of course you can use the Interlace mode and then you will have a 1080*512 screen, which could be interesting for the PageMaking. Here's some modifies for the BPLCON0: ($100) 15 HIRES Put 0 if SuperHires mode 14 BPU2 13 BPU1 12 BPU0 Bitplanes number (1 to 2 if SHRES) 11 HAM Not available in SHRES 10 DBLPF Dual Playfield compatible 09 COLOR Color or monochrome (always 1) 08 GAUD Audio Genlock 07 x 06 SHRES Super Hires Mode 05 x 04 x 03 LPEN Light pen on/off 02 LACE Interlace compatible with SHRES 01 ERSY Extern Synchro 00 x (continues on 3rd part) ¶(continues from part2) The productivity mode is a 640*480 mode(=NTSC Overscan) not interlaced with 4 colors among 64, but it requires a multisync monitor. These 2 modes have got 70ns sprites (hires), contrary to the classic sprites that run in 140ns (lores). Of course, the SPRxPOS and SPRxCTL registers have been modified to allow these new capacities.There's also about 30 new registers (Agnus+Denise) to program the ECS Chips. Netherless, the old registers that have been modified are still compatible with new ones. About the graphic library, all the old functions have been modified and they consider or not the new ECS capacities. For the productivity mode,there is two functions: OpenMonitor and CloseMonitor, that double the video beam frequency (with again a multisync/ bisync monitor). Intuition has also been modified and uses the new ECS improvements or not. Hope ya can use this little (!) article translated from a French Magazine called A-News...
