- Extended sample playback mode (6 channels x 8 bit)
- 2x oversampling to minimize aliasing effect
- 16 bit mixing and output
- 31,25 KHz sampling rate

The site states that this project is a direct replacement for the Sid chip and will fit as a direct replacement into the SID chip socket on the Commodore 64, emulating a Sid. More information when I have time for a full read up on the project, Does sound very interesting indeed though.

Cloanto Releases
Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2012
******************************

August 26, 2011 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2012 (http://www.amigaforever.com) and C64 Forever 2012 (http://www.c64forever.com) the latest versions of the award-winning Commodore-Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows.

By adding powerful content authoring and integration functionality, Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2012 close the circle between gaming, productivity and preservation of digital culture while adding new features and providing easier access to a universe of free and legal downloads.

The new versions build on a powerful synergy of original components:

- RP9 file format, which is a compressed cross-platform archive containing
media images, configuration, description and ancillary data, developed by
Cloanto
- RetroPlatform Player and API to interface with different emulation plugins
- Cloanto's unique portfolio of ROM and OS licenses

The new packages can emulate the full range of 8-bit (C64, VIC 20, PET/CBM, etc.) and 16/32-bit systems (Amiga, CDTV, etc.) using an intuitive media player-like interface. The advanced RP9 authoring functionality sets new references in preserving and making accessible digital culture from the 1980s and 1990s. Content created or edited with the Windows software can be played back on other systems, including mobile devices (in part under development).

The 2012 versions not only include hundreds of software enhancements, but also add content of historical interest, like new interviews with Amiga legends Robert J. Mical and Dave Haynie, also with HD-quality video footage.

Amiga Forever 2012 is available now in three editions:

- Value Edition (downloadable installer for Windows systems)
- Plus Edition (downloadable ISO image with additional Windows and
platform-neutral content)
- Premium Edition (physical Plus Edition content plus additional videos on 3
DVDs)

C64 Forever 2012 is available now in three editions:

- Free Express Edition (feature-limited version)
- Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer plus CD ISO image)
- Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition content plus boxed CD)

Amiga Forever and C64 Forever passed official Windows 7 logo tests on both
x86 and x64 systems. Prices for both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever start from $9.95 (special upgrade offers).

CSDB Random Release for android
******************************

http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=101667&rss

What is it?
It's just a simple little fun android app that connects to the CSDB web
service and grabs a random release, showing some basic info (Name, Rating,
Type and year) and the screenshot.

What are the requirements?
You need an Android device (Obviously) and it must have connectivity to get to the web service and send emails.

The applications has developed and been tested on my LG Optimus.
There is only portrait orientation. And the developer has no idea what its going to look like on a bigger screen.

How do I use it?
It's simple, just press the little "Get One"(the cassette) button to get a release. If you like it, you can press the email button (The envelope) to send a link to your email address) If you want to go back (just one release) you
can click the blue back-arrow button.

Why is there a cool down timer?
People don’t like it when you hit their web-services too hard and might block you. So the application has a cool down timer to try to control load.

How do I change the Email address?
Press the menu button on your device.

Why won't the email work?
I'm using the default email activity, if that works it should work in my app, if not, no idea :(

Forgotten Forest
Commodore Free review
****************************************

In the dark, dark wood, there was a dark, dark house, in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room, and in the dark, dark room there was a dark, dark cupboard, and in the dark, dark cupboard was a really bright light, you move slowly and tentatively to the light and suddenly; everything goes black, you slip and fall!

Well you get the basic idea there, not sure where I was actually headed with that text, still it’s all over now!

Released for the Sideways SEUCK Compo 2011
Forgotten Forest is rather surprisingly a sideways SEUCK game, you play there
