|  More Releases from Arok #8! | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-07-31 |
  Surprise, surprise, it's not 8SoB yet. Quite unexpectedly two more awesome demos where released at the Arok #8 party. The first one is a 1K demo, the first its category on Plus/4. It's called Roeddelroemp, and it comes from Dr. Death of TEK. One look will tell you that this is very cool stuff to be pulled out from just 1024 bytes, and the party crowd agreed: this demo won the 1K compo! The second demo is Monopsy 2, a follow up to 2003's Monopsy. It's authentic DCD code with Luca graphics: a superb entry into the filedemo category. Watch it and be amazed: yes, our computer can do this! This demo won the 2nd place in the demo competition. The winner was 8SoB, which you'll have to wait for just a bit more. Congratulations for both authors for their achievement! |

| | First New Release from Arok #8! | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-07-30 |
 Chronos beat everyone to it: the first release from Arok #8 is here. It's called Snake Attack, it's a converted game from Absence. They also have a new minisite, visit it for the first round of Arok #8 photos.
As a sidenote, we've also received 5 digidemos from TLT a few days back, all 2006 releases. In the excitement of finishing 8 Shades of Black, we forgot to mention this newsbit on the front page. Enjoy! |

| | YAPE 0.67 Released! | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-07-10 |
| The popular Commodore Plus/4 Emulator, YAPE, is now up to version 0.67. The latest release contains bugfixes and better emulator, you can read more on the homepage. For those who are wondering what programs actually do show a noticeable difference in emulation, check out the classic demo A Trip by SCF. The fourth part contains the very first FLI effect on this platform, and YAPE is now the first (and only) emulator that can correctly emulate this part. Cheers to Gaia for his continued hard work! |

| | Artifex Update in Progress | | Posted by Csabo on 2006-07-02 |
 P. Zsolt, the author of Artifex gave us an update on the a promising Plus/4 emulator. He's been on hiatus since the last update from 2002. Artifex was rewritten from scratch, and he's been working on the updated version for over a year now. The Plus/4 World exclusive screenshot (on the right, click for full size image) gives us a few clues on what's going on: there's apparently PAL emulation (a very popular feature in other emus as well), and it's based on SDL. What that means is there will be a Linux and even an OS/X port. While there's no release date set ("when it's done"), we've heard that it can already handle demos like Heartfixer, and it's currently being tested with Litwr's Test Suite. Let's hope 2006 will see a new release, and we wish best of luck with the development! |
