News

One week without the forum was a very long period... And once again we didn't want this kind of bug occurs. And once again it happens :-(
The domain name of the forum expired on 19th April, 2005. We renewed it on 18th April. Sorry to have not made earlier: the renewal page has been changed and we didn't have find the time to fill it up completely in the last days. Unfortunately, even if we renewed the domain name and we received the order paiement in time, atari-forum.com appeared as an expired name after 20th April. Strange thing happened: we still could log on and see our order about atari-forum.com (so we were still the owners of the name), but there was always that same message about the expiration... Grrrr...
So we contacted last week-end the providers and after two days of messages (as a lack of luck, the main boss of the company was travelling in Birmingham between 04/21 through 04/25), they finally managed to solve the troubles. Thanks to them, but this kind of bug gave another proof we are cursed. Who made that doll voodoo...?

Finally the forum is back. Also this is the first news we post there after a long time. If you wonder what we made while this time, here are some rumours:
. Silver Surfer and ST Graveyard are working on a new part of the site. This is long awaited part, can't say more ;-)
. Marcer is still searching and collecting rare stuffs. He received a lot of image-disks and many CD-Rom in the next weeks. He is in the process to verify them all.
. Dungeon.Master and myself had a pasti-day last week. Also we recently bought many rare stuffs. We met and we archived many rare games. Most of them have been added to the database of the site (download should follow shortly).
. Mug UK has a new job and very happy about it. We all hope he'll still work with us ;-)

That's all for today. So expect for more stuffs in the next weeks. Thanks for reading and don't forget to visit our lovely forum, of course!

As mentioned in the previous message, a new version of the emulator SainT is now available. It fixed some sound issues, so the demos with 50 KHz modules are now played perfectly.
New features are:

. new digisound YM volume boost too high for PC sound hardware. Just reduce it a bit.
. YM register read bug fix ( VU-Meter crash in FOF menus)

Feel free to visit Leonard Website to catch latest version of SainT.

The YM 50K demo, that was produced by Paulo Simoes some time ago, has been updated. It's now included on 5 disks. Here is was LJBK (aka Paulo) wrote :

Well, i have found a small bug in the player that affects sometimes some MODs using the Tone Portamento / Slide to Note commands while producing some more music disks.
The bug is now solved and i am sending to you the complete set of 5 music disks with a total of 40 MODs at 50 KHz that show what an STF can achieve. All disks contain the TOS player, so anyone can choose the disk image to keep if any.
As for disk 5, i have less than 3% of CPU time up to almost 0 for ARTE1, there are no scrollers at all.

Leonard has already corrected the small bug with SainT 1.99c (too much volume boosting for the PC HW) and he should release a new SainT soon.

That's it for YM50K.

Grab 5 disks now: [url=../newsattach/YM50K1.ZIP]disk 1[/url], [url=../newsattach/YM50K2.ZIP]disk 2[/url], [url=../newsattach/YM50K3.ZIP]disk 3[/url], [url=../newsattach/YM50K4.ZIP]disk 4[/url], [url=../newsattach/YM50K5.ZIP]disk 5[/url].

A news version of the SNDH-ed is available. This tool is done by the PHF and it is able to edit song title and composer name of SNDH musics. It allows to convert Sid Sound Designer musics into SNDH files. The new feature fixes a bug for double save.
