18:30EST - What a #&@*!$ Weekend

As some of you may have noticed updates were few this wekeend (about 1 a day). Between taxes and a close relative getting sick most of my time was consumed. However, the light at the end of the tunnel has been reached. After sleeping all day I'm up and ready to continue my usual updates of the page. Thank you for your patience and patronage ; )

It's here, and it's mostly everything you've been promised!
Here's the list of new games in this release (46 games):

commando, mappy, blktiger, temptube, punchout, shackled,
firetrap, vanguard, targ, sprint1, nitedrvr, llander, circus,
cheekyms, bsktball, atarifb, defender, solomon, rpatrolb,
rocnrope, guzzler, atlantis, nrallyx, trojan, pbaction, locomotn,
spiders, starforc, bosco, jhunt, docastle, starwars, berzerk,
citycon, mario, rallyx, missile, asteroid, astdelux, bzone,
tempest, centiped, gunfight, boothill, astinvad, tron

There could be even more, I'm not sure :) Unfortunately,
I've received more requests than I was able to enable for
this release. Some of the requested games were simply too
complex to be emulated fast enough on today's Pocket
PCs, and some I simply couldn't enable and compile without
errors.

RAINE v0.31: "New foundations" - DOS/Linux/Windows
==================================================

What's New?
===========

This release adds mostly new graphic functions to allow almost every
driver to support 16bpp/rotation. It was done mainly to see if f3
games would benefit from it. Apparently : not that much, except maybe
for popnpop ?
Anyway with this, and automatic rom loading, adding new drivers should
be easier now.
Since it's quiet now, and we have also included many fixes and
improvements, time was good to make a release.

New games:
----------

- Added donpachi, hot dog storm (cave)
- Added 3wonders (preliminary work)


- Taito F3 drivers:

  - Finally fixed the bad looping sounds (especially in puzzle buble 3 & 4)

- Cave driver:

  - Added linescrolling to uopoko, and zooming effects to most games.

Overall improvements:
---------------------

 - Added 16bpp support and rotation to 90% of the games.
 - Added bpp selection to the gui (you can now change the bpp without
   quiting raine...)
 - Added continuous playing (see below)
 - Changed the game selection dialog : options can be chosen with the
   new button "Selection", and added selection by company.

 - Fixed Battle Shark : it works again !
 - Fixed music rate in toaplan2 games (batrider...), thanks to a patch
   on the net. See http://www.emucamp.com/boukichi
 - Fixed sample rate not being saved in 0.30a.
 - Fixed bad samples in wrestlefest
 - Some assembler optimisations on the basic drawing functions (from Karma)
 - Fixed light bringer (broken in 0.30a).

Changes for linux :
 - New fbcon driver for linux (frame buffer console)
 - svga, fbcon and dga drivers are now generating their list of
supported modes on the fly.

Continuous playing :
--------------------

This option allows you to automatically save a game when you quit, and
automatically load it when you load the rom. It allows to keep high
scores for any game without the hiscore.dat file, can be used as an
emergency save function !
Enable it by running raine with the "-cont" option.
Disable it with the "-nocont" option.
You can also edit the raine configuration file. In this case, change
"auto_save" option in [General] options.
Of course, it eats lots of disk space, so it is off by default.

This time, a new lang is finally added: Greek, after some time in the freezer, as promised Norwegian
fully supported too, all .lng was updated due to some changes in the Lang dialog (all lang menu was
removed, and back to the official Mame32 style, but with an improved Lang dialog, see it!)
Version was reorganized, so the main versions are folders and beta ones are in sub-folders.  Also an
internal change was made, preparing for customized categories, now if a game has no cat info and it's
a clone, takes the info from the main game.  So, the cat info needed will be much lesser and the time
reading the file will be smaller.
Also Favorites bug was fixed AND Kaillera updated.

0.37b13

Several drivers may be broken due to the MAME memory handling changes.
And as a result, the Amiga has been temporarily removed.

Note: .inp record/playback does still not work currently.

New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order):
------------------------------------------------------
...

System Driver Changes:
----------------------
- Sfz (cps changer) fixed to work with the new MAME code [Ben]

- [DRAGON/COCO1-2-3] Added support for raw Program Pak dumps (use file extenion
  .ROM).  Also, implemented the 1-bit sound mode. [Nate Woods]

- [DRAGON/COCO1-2] Basic save state support added. [Nate Woods]

Other Changes:
--------------
- The core is based on MAME 0.37b13. This incorporates all features of the update to this 
  core.  [MAME team] 

- [IMGTOOL] Added special support in imgtool to separate floppy image formats from the 
  file system.  Also added a test command that only gets built in debug builds that runs 
  a set of test cases on an imgtool driver.  [Nate Woods]

0.37 BETA 14


These drivers have improved GRAPHICS:
-------------------------------------

- Fixed sprite priorities in Hachoo. [Nicola Salmoria]


These drivers have improved SOUND:
----------------------------------

- Sound in Looping. [Mathis Rosenhauer]

- Improved speech in Double Dribble. [Tatsuyuki Satoh]

- Improved subwoofer sounds in ninjaw and darius2d. [Andrea Mazzoleni]


Changes to the main program:
----------------------------

- [DOS] The keyboard special handling introduced in the previous beta, which
  makes it easier to register two- or three-button presses, is now optional.
  By default it's off; to turn it on, use -steadykey. [Mike Coates]

- Changed 4-way emulation on a 8-way joystick to "sticky" mode. This makes
  Lady Bug and other 4-way games more playable.
  Explanation here: http://www.rentrondesign.homestead.com/JoyPrimer.html

AIAB Release Notes                      (version r10)                                31/03/01
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                ~~~~~~~~

Note that AIABr9 never actually existed.  I reckon this release is pretty much as good as its
even going to get (without exceeding a 4mb download), so bumped up the version number twice ;) 

Heres a great list of everything thats new in this release, starting with the coolest:

ADDED:   [drum role] GlowIcons 'support'!  Whahey, thats right folks, you can now choose the
~~~~~    look of the icons used by AIAB, and swap between the two easily!  Aside from choosing
         which iconset to use when AIAB is first run, its also possible to change the iconset
         at any time, by using the entry in Settings-->Presets in the AIAB Start-Menu - cool,
         huh?  Big thanks go out to Pzyco and Sanny who painted these superb looking GlowIcons.
         Check out http://mitglied.tripod.de/IconDesigner/ for more of the same!

         NB:  The script that switched between the two iconsets isnt very clever just yet.
         ~~   It will not perform any checks or do anything clever - it just overwrites the
              icons that AIAB uses, *thats all*.  Back-up your stuff if you're really afraid!

         UPDATE:  Now, if any of the *supported* "AIAB Application" upgrades are installed,
         ~~~~~~   (e.g. Music/Internet) the script will update these icons too - whahey!

ADDED:   Several mouse-pointer presets to the 'SYS:Prefs/Presets/' folder, and added an entry
~~~~~    to the AIAB Start-Menu to open the 'Pointers' folder with a single click!  To change
         the look of the mouse-pointer (and save it), just double-click the relevant icon.

         NB:  Erm...I've kind of had to include the 'Pointer' preferences tool (from Amiga
         ~~   INC.) to achieve this.  Does this count as piracy?  I dunno, but least I'm
              'big enough' to point out that Im using the program, rather than just slipping
              it in, unannounced.

         Oh, and I've also changed the look of the default AIAB pointer - hope you like it!

UPDATED: InstallerNG.  It would seem that after a stagnant period, Jens Tr�ger has resumed
~~~~~~~  this adventurous project, and as ever the stability of this program continues to
         improve.  This version is still a 1.5 pre-release, but is dated 20/2/01.

UPDATED: The MuiMaster.library, to a supposedly faster '020 optimised' version, by RedSkull
~~~~~~~  of DC. It didnt feel much faster for me (it certainly wasnt any slower), but that
         might be because Im so used to the speed of JIT ;)  Either way it gets included here.

DITCHED: The '2000' from the title.  This was 'sooooo Millenium', and I thought '2001' just
~~~~~~~  sounded even cheesier.
 
UPDATED: The Scalos/Workbench popupmenus a bit.  The useless 'Quit' option has been replaced
~~~~~~~  by 'Shut Down', which displays a requestor asking whether or not the user wishes to
         'Shut Down' or 'Reboot' - just like the one in the AIAB Start-Menu.

MOVED:   The folder containing background images to 'SYS:Prefs/Patterns' which is a more
~~~~~    standardised path (rather than my 'ColourfullBackgrounds' folder in 'Prefs/Presets').

MOVED:   All the cheap'n'nasty setup scripts executed when AIAB is loaded for the first time
~~~~~    to S:AIAB-Setup - mainly, 'cos its tidier ;)

ADDED:   WarpJPEG datatype, by old Amiga stalwart, Oliver Roberts (also of F1GPed fame...).
~~~~~    replacing the older akJFIF one (see below ).  Big thanks to Oliver for letting me use
         his software here.  For those interested, WarpPNG and (soon) WarpBMP datatypes are
         also available, so if you wish to add more fileformats to Multiview, give them a try.

REMOVED: The very old JPEG datatype.  I was a bit sick of the akJFIF one, sure its nicely
~~~~~~~  coded, and quite fast, but wasnt free (hence I was using an old version without a
         nag requestor) - why pay for something as basic as displaying a JPEG?

UPDATED: Information in the 'AmigaForever-readme.txt' file, regarding getting AIAB to work
~~~~~~~  with an AmigaForever setup.  Thanks to Gordon Bland, let me know if this works!

UPDATED: DirectoryOpus 4.15.  Numerous tweaks and bugfixes since the last release.  Take a
~~~~~~~  look at the History.txt file in the 'DOPUS' folder.  Bugs/Requests text also added.

ADDED:   A few bits of text here and there for advanced users, regarding the finer points of
~~~~~    the AIAB setup - do a search for *.txt etc. if you're up for it ;)

ADDED:   A basic 'Game Runner' button for playing incompatible HD-Games from Workbench.  To
~~~~~    use, just select the 'Game Runner' entry from the AIAB StartMenu--->Mixed Tools.
         A 'Drop Game Here' button will appear at the top of the screen, and should degrade
         the Amiga (using JST) whenever game icons are dropped onto it.  Im not promising a
         100% success rate, but it could make all the difference!

         NB:  Dont forget the 'Crap Boot' option that allows you boot into a *highly* cut-down 
         ~~   AIAB Workbench setup, ideal for playing older HD-installed games from.  To use,
              just hold down the left mouse-button when booting the 'Amiga' (it might take a
              few goes if you have a really fast PC...). 

ADDED:   Picasso96.guide.  Apologies to the Picasso96 team for not including this in previous
~~~~~    releases.  I'd like to point out that Picasso96 is in fact shareware, and acts as an
         integral part of the AIAB package.  You should therefore consider registering the
         software to encourage future Amiga development if you use Picasso96 modes regularly.

TWEAKED: The s:Startup-Sequence yet again to add a one second pause (to test for the LMB),
~~~~~~~  and hence use the 'Crap Boot' option) that can be commented out if you dont want to
         wait.  I also added support for a possible (!) 'AIAB-JIT' pack at a later date, for
         nice things like Birdie etc.

TWEAKED: The Workbench titlebar text.  AIAB now uses a Scalos plugin to print the contents of
~~~~~~~  'ENVARC:AIAB-Version', which should make changing the titlebar text easier (?)

TWEAKED: The AIAB installation to add some text at the beginning so that people who havent
~~~~~~~  read the docs/installation guide [sigh...] will have a clue about what to do ;)

ADDED:   FreeWheel, by Alastair M. Robinson.  This cute little programme ought to allow the
~~~~~    'wheel' on most mice to function in AIAB.  You will be asked when you first install
         AIAB if you wish to enable this function.  Also, you might want to configure the
         programme for your own needs (I dont own a wheelmouse!), to do this just use the 
         'ctrl alt f' hotkey, or select 'FreeWheel' from the 'Commodities' entry of the AIAB
         Start-Menu.  Thanks to Stephen Cooke for suggesting this addition.

TWEAKED: The s:ScreenTabCommodities  list to remove any defunct entries.  This file is used
~~~~~~~  to display the little images in the 'Commodities' entry of the AIAB Start-Menu.

TWEAKED: The DirectoryOpus config file to add a workaround for the 'Cant delete empty folders
~~~~~~~  problem in WinUAE'.  Click the 'DELETE' button with the *right* mouse button to use
         it.  Also, the 'Arc Ext.' and 'ShowFile' buttons now wait for the mouse button to be
         clicked before closing the Shell, thus giving the user 'more time on the ball' ;)
         Thanks to Tomasz Schmidt for pointing this out.

         NB:  The 'Delete UAE' button *should* be redundant, thanks to the new filesystem
         ~~   code introduced in (around) WinUAE 0.8.13+, but I've kept it in, just in case ;)

         I also noticed that DOPUS uses its own palette, rather than just using the Workbench
         pens, so have tweaked this to look more like the current Workbench colour-scheme.

REMOVED: 'PatchControl' in C: directory, and reference in Startup-Sequence.  I cant remember
~~~~~~~  what exactly this command did - possibly to help the OS out when 20 or so patches
         are all running at the same time - but Im pretty sure we dont need it anymore.

REMOVED: Some more MUI classes, which are only used by internet applications.  These files
~~~~~~~  have been moved into the 'new imporved' AIAB-Internet.zip package.

                Gone:           MUI:libs/mui/bookmarks.mcc
                                MUI:libs/mui/textinput.mcc
                                MUI:libs/mui/textinput.mcp
                                MUI:libs/mui/textinputscroll.mcc

         During my updating, I also found and copied over a slightly newer 'ListTree' class.

ADDED:   Replacement gadget classes by Stephan Rupprecht (adapted from the AROS versions by
~~~~~    Georg Steger).  These classes differ from the original Amiga ones, in that they can
         utilise the greater number of colours on Hi/Truecolour screens.  Try the palette
         selector in any MUI-based programme and you'll see what I mean.

                CLASSES:gadgets/colourwheel.gadget                            (version 44.7 )
                CLASSES:gadgets/gradientslider.gadget                         (version 44.6 )

         Thanks to Stephan for letting me use these files (and Georg for the initial work)
         
         NB:  These new classes are more or less the same ones found in OS3.9, Cor.....!

UPDATED: The Welcome! text, to point out that PPaint can be downloaded from Aminet, in case
~~~~~~~  anyone didn't already know.....(the topic cropped up in the mailing list).  Whilst I
         was editing, I also added some information about the 'GameRunner' button, and a page
         of text about using the provided presets in order to change the look of AIAB.
         Moreover, the 'Speed Testing' page contains some updated information. 

TWEAKED: The title text shown in Workbench root windows, using Scalos.  Should be more 
~~~~~~~  relevant to UAE harddrives/hardfolders now (eg. does not show 'xx MB in use').

TWEAKED: Received an improved AIAB.ico from Guy Hancock which should look better on dark
~~~~~~~  desktops.  The two AIAB icons I made have been deleted, because they were, well...
         shit - they weren't even proper icons, hence their lack of transparency in Win2k.

ADDED:   A workaround to allow Iconizer to change NewIcons.  Scalos doesnt use the NI patch, 
~~~~~    meaning Iconizer did not show them correctly.  Anyway, I've added a little 'remedy
         script to the AIAB Start-Menu until I find a better solution.

ADDED:   MrFujis-PIII700mhz SysSpeed module.  I made this whilst visiting my mate Daymo down
~~~~~    in Southend, on an overclocked 849mhz system, so its definately genuine.  Although
         its unlikely for the time-being, if your machine is significantly faster, make a
         module, and email it to me! 

TWEAKED: The MCP.config, turning off the 'BorderBlank' patch.  This basically puts a black
~~~~~~~  border around the ECS screens rather than the colour 0, however since were using P96
         we dont need such a patch enabled!  This was bought to my attention by a small bench
         -mark programme (called 'WhichAmiga' now in C:) which measured my setup at 14mhz with
         the 'BorderBlank' patch switched on, but 18mhz with it swithced off - strange, huh?

         UPDATE:  The MCP.config has also had a few extra tweaks that may/may not speed up the
         ~~~~~~   system.  Things like QuickDraw/Layers patches being disabled (apparently,
                  under Picasso96 they are not required), and a few 68040 CPU specific things
                  switched on, for future UAE JIT releases.

TWEAKED: The 'Presets' folder structure, adding a '!GUIPresets' folder, and moving everything
~~~~~~~  related to VisualPrefs in there.  I've also added a BeOS-style colourscheme by Paul
         O'Brein.  Dont forget to send me your own VP settings if you've changed them.

TWEAKED: Default GUI settings.  VisualPrefs now allows bold/italic text to be used for window
~~~~~~~  titles, which looks quite good and is therefore enabled.  I've also changed the look
         of cyclemenus so that they appear more like the standard popupmenus.

         Moreover a tiny patch called 'TitleShadow' has been added, which adds a nice shadow
         to the window-title text (if you dont like it, just comment it out in aiab-startup)
         The author, Peter Gordon, claims this is quite a 'kludge' but I think it works well
         enough to include in AIAB ;)  Either way, I've asked Massimo Tantignone if it can be
         added to a future VisualPrefs release ;)

         For added consistency, the titles of the context-sensitive popupmenus have also been
         given the shadowed treatment - AIAB is just getting *too* professional now! ;)
         
         Still on the GUI front, theres a new 'Watery' background pattern, which I found on
         the net.  It was a bit bright to start with, so I did some tweaking in PaintShopPro -
         graphicians might want to change the colour balances a little more if they find its
         not quite to their liking ;)  If anyone has similar styled tilable patterns, or knows
         a good website where they can be found, would they please email me? ;)

         UPDATE:  I've just found http://www.grsites.com/textures/  which has loads on offer!
         ~~~~~~
TWEAKED: The default MUI GUI settings a bit, using a new, slightly larger font.  This is also
~~~~~~~  better for foreign users, as the extra characters are displayed correctly.

         NB:  Changes will only be visible if a registered MUI.key is copied to the S: folder.
         ~~

REDONE:  The font system completely.  Some fonts have been deleted, others replaced, but all
~~~~~~   renamed to create a new family called 'AIAB fonts'.  To further improve the visual
         quality, some fonts have been touched-up by hand (!)  Heres a full run-down of where
         they're used:
                        AIAB-Icon               -       Workbench icon text
                        AIAB-MUI                -       MUI GUIs (new - see above)
                        AIAB-Screen             -       Workbench screen and WWW browser
                        AIAB-ScreenBold         -       Workbench titles
                        AIAB-System             -       Fixed-font (shell, text editor etc.)

Extra Info:
~~~~~~~~~~

1.      As with the initial release, this requires a Workbench 3.x ADF in order for certain
        non-distributable files to be made available - so please, dont click "Cancel" on the
        requestor when prompted!   
        
        Its always best to use the most recent Kickstart ROM and Workbench ADF (eg: v3.1),
        with AIAB, but if you only have the old v3.0 files dont worry; other than a slight 
        glitch with the arrow-gadgets in Multiview, (due to a bug with OS3.0), there are no
        noticable differences.
        
        For information regarding how, when, and where to insert the Workbench ADF, Please
        check the readme in this archive, or www.emuunlim.com/aiab/installing/index.html


2.      The 'AmigaInABox' package should only be available from the official AIAB website

        at http://www.emuunlim.com/aiab.  I take a very dim view of people selling AIAB CD's
        without asking me, especially when the package is intended to be non-profit making
        and available for free.

3.      Inclusion of the commercial version of Directory Opus 4 in this archive is provided
        under explicit licence from GPSoftware.  See  http://www.gpsoft.com.au/ for details.
