Campobasso, Italy - January 26th, 2010


The new year begins like the previous ended, that is, bringing a nice surprise to BOH players!

Today sees the release to update9, which:
* adds secret missions, i.e. missions that remain hidden until one or more other missions are completed;
* reworks hidden passages so that they follow the orientation of barriers and are / can be perfectly unified with them;
* re-adds trembling to fixed lights;
* improves video modes suggestions by indicating also the optimal zoom factors;

EasyADF, the archiving program for the Amiga, has been updated.

This is a bounty for completing the OpenAmiga 32Bit icon editor project.

Implement a new 32Bit (24Bit+8bit alpha) capable icon editor that has the same overall functionality as the OS4.1 built in icon editor but with 32Bit capability.

A new version of the electronic dictionary WordNet has been released on OS4depot. This is a recommended update for all AmigaOS4.1 Update 1 users.

ClipDown Version 2.6 includes usability enhancements. It adds a dropdown chooser gadget for easy changing of download modes. Also includes a QUIET tooltype and -q option to not open console when viewing files or playing videos. Still opens console for playing audio and downloading to allow abort. Can now be quit via the break command for script support. Example script for starting and quiting OWB and ClipDown together included in archive.
See below for full list of changes.

Once again we have something for you.

The "Games Tips & Tricks Database" (GTT) distributed bei APC&TCP.

This database contains cheats, solutions, passwords and much more for over 1200 games.

We are proud to announce our first little project for all Amiga developers.
Our goal was to develop some tools to get you started with "cross development for Amiga OS4.1".
As we have been working quite some while on it, we noticed the lack of a clean method to produce a cross compiler for the Amiga. For this reason, we created a special script which will build a complete cross compiler toolchain for you.
