Chicago, Illinois -- October 18th, 2007 -- Today DiscreetFX LLC, VisualFX software developer works to stimulate development on the Amiga Video Toaster 4000. We want to give every Amiga owner in the world a chance to taste the fun and excitement of the Amiga Video Toaster.

Back in 2004 everyone was shocked when DiscreetFX, with the help of NewTek, Bill Evans and Aaron "Aarexx" Ruscetta gave away the source code to the Amiga Video Toaster Flyer. DiscreetFX opened openvideotoaster.org and released the source code to the world. This Asm & C code is a blueprint to how video editing software works on the Amiga operating system. Now it is time to stimulate the Amiga Toaster community again with a compelling contest and content development offers. When the Video Toaster was released on the Amiga it was NTSC only and the rest of the world, Europeans especially did not get to experience the power and fun of the Amiga Video Toaster. Well, the world has moved on and the NTSC/PAL format incompatibilities don't matter as much today. Most TV's sold in Europe do PAL or NTSC and many computer display cards from NVidia & ATI will display/capture either format without problems.

DiscreetFX enjoyed the awesome Amiga demos that came out of the demo scene in the 1990's and even last year an impressive Amiga demo won at Assembly ?06 (Starstruck). This is a true testament to the Amiga and the Amiga demoscene. But DiscreetFX wants more, we want to see a demo coded to run on the Amiga Video Toaster 4000. You have the source code.

I finally put the finishing touches on an FCEU port for MorphOS.
Halloween release, hope everyone enjoys it. FCEU emulates the classic
NES/Famicom game console. FCEU currently has great compatibility,
sound support, save ram and save state support.

The Amiga Future is available as a single issue or subscription. You are free to choose whether you want it with or without a cover CD.

The Amiga Future is available directly from the editorial office at http://www.amigafuture.de and some Amiga dealers like Alinea, Vesalia, AmigaKit, GGS Data, ASB, Samuli...

If dealers are interested in offering the Amiga Future for their customers then simply write us an email.

Also we ask all users especially the ones getting the English edition to extend their subscriptions as soon as possible or letting us know if they aren't interested anymore. This would ease the planning of the next issue of the Amiga Future heavily.
