NEWCOMER by Cinematic Intuitive
Dynamix got a 95% rating in issue 31
of Retro Gamer. Visit
http://www.retrogamer.net to learn
more about the Retro Gamer magazine.
Currently in development: ULTIMATE
NEWCOMER with shorter decrunch
times, faster disk I/O on 1541, direct
support for IDE64, C128 and
SuperCPU, and most importantly a
bug fixed story script to make the
"Long&Complex" solution accessible
for those really smart players.
Further extra hardware may or may not
be supported, depending on the
developers' time, resources and the
availability of gametesters.
At the moment the makers are stuck
with a critical bug in the re-written
game engine code, and it will probably
only get fixed during holiday
vacations, so release date has
certainly moved to sometime 2007.
The English and Hungarian scripts are
complete and under testing. The
German version is under
translation.For updates, register an

FURTHER NEWS ON OUR
HARDWARE PRODUCTS FROM
AROUND THE C64 WORLD:

Bacardi/The Dreams published a new
version of his DFI Plugin, which is the
MMC64 version of his multiload and
save system DreamLoad. Save, scratch
and scratch-save should work
now.Since this is another beta release,
please remember to backup the content
of your SD/MMC card! Further
information, download link and the

D81 WRITER PLUGIN V0.2 FOR
MMC64
An updated version of D81 writer
plugin for MMC64 by tnt is out:
http://www.sci.fi/{$de}tenu/c64/mmc64/d8
1.zip
V0.2 doesn't require burst mod (at the
cost of 32 seconds per disk) but uses
one if available.
IDEDOS 20061110 (0.90 PATCH 31)
A new version of idedos for IDE64 is
out: idedos 20061110 (0.90 patch 31).
This release adds EPCLink support,
which means that now it's
possible to use an ETFE or RR-Net
card for highspeed transfers through
the IDEDOS PCLink network drive.
Reading speed reaches up to 40 kB/s
(writing at 20 kB/s), which makes
burning CDs for huge data transfers
pointless. Unfortunately currently it's
not so easy to get an ETFE card or
connect RR-Net simply (RR+RR-
Net+portexpander), but let's hope this
will change soon ;)

MWC V0.2ALPHA RELEASED
mwc by Jockstrap is a command-line
Linux client for Graham's
WarpCopy64 V0.6 server, allowing
you to transfer disks from your 1541 to
your Linux system through the RR-Net
ethernet adapter. Download:

GUI4CBM4WIN UPDATED TO 0.6.0
Payton Byrd made a major bug fix to
gui4cbm4win, the graphical user
interface for the transfer software
cbm4win. The bug fix is related to the
migration to .Net. He added a few
features as well.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed problem with reading the
output file when detecting drives in the
Options window
New Features:
- Added CBM Drive selector to main
window
- Changed from calling the WIN32
Shell api to using .Net Processes
- Capture stdout and stderr through
pipe redirection instead of reading
temp files in most cases.
- Added running Log panel
