YAPE 0.62 Released!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-04-21
The latest YAPE has arrived! On a related note, happy belated birthday to Plus/4 World (3 years old!) and Gaia. There are lots of new exciting features added this time, a very cool one is the ability to record videos (AVIs) and sound straight from YAPE. Also, the fantastic sideborder removal effect in Chaos is now emulated. For those who can afford it, and think it's worth it, there's now a donate button on the download page. I did - for the years I've used this emulator it was a very cool and useful tool, it's sure worth a couple of bucks. Cheers to Gaia for our scene's pride and joy!


New Magazines!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-04-18
Just who is the best coder on Plus/4? I know that's the first and foremost question on everyone's mind. Well, now you can find out, just read the latest release of Lone News: 17. This issue (which is also the first one being NTSC compatible) is also packed with interviews and other stuff, and features a more readable font by popular request. Disagree with the chart results? Well, maybe next time you'll fill out a votesheet on time! Club Info 86 is also out, like clockwork, still only in German though. Finally we're glad to announce that X-Bázis has been found (by non other than the original author). Thanks for the cool stuff guys!

LoneNews Editor Released!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-04-13
Our most-enthusiastic hardcode scener, Luca/FIRE has surprised us with a new release: LoneNews Editor is here. This nicely done utility let's you... well, as the name suggests edit LoneNews, or any other text. Features built in help, SID or TED music, but it's also worth pointing out that this program is NTSC compatible!

We'd like to use this opportunity to urge everyone to send in their votesheets! Come on, it only takes a few minutes. Even if you're not a "scener", you must have some favourites... The more votes, the better. Keep in mind that even partial votesheets are accepted and appreciated. The newest issue of the mag is apparently 90% ready, all it's waiting for is your votes. Don't delay, contribute to the scene and Keep the Plus/4 Alive!


New Demo Released!
Posted by Csabo on 2005-04-12
Following Killer Demo and 20 Years +4, Skoro&Kichy released Killer 2! Check out this new demo featuring SID only music and a few cool effects. Guaranteed to give you that good old-school demoscene feel for 10 minutes! Cheers to the guys for still producing new stuff. And it does not stop here: we also have Skoro's Music Box 3+ which fixes some bugs in the original, and a few long-lost (well, not exactly lost) Hungarian adventures added today. Among them is X-Bázis+, a modified version of the original release (which is still 'lost'). Remember to send in any missing stuff you find on your old disks and tapes.


Photos of online users
Posted by SVS on 2005-04-07
Csabo has added to the forum page the option to see the online users as their photos, instead of their nicknames. This brillant feature allows you to instantly understand if one of your friends is (or has been) on line, without to read the name-lists.
Try this, simply by setting your page as follows:
- Aspect
- Options
- Checkbox on "Show visitors photos (if available)"

all is done! :)

By this occasion all the users that have

We also have some magazine covers: Rüdiger scanned two more 64er covers, 64er Sonderheft 3 and 64er Sonderheft 8 feature the C16 and the Plus/4 in their full glory. Check them out! Thanks guys for the submissions.
