IMMEDIATE RELEASE : DiscreetFX Announcement

Open Video Toaster Instant Bounties

Chicago, Illinois ? July 14th, 2008 -- Visual FX company DiscreetFX LLC Inc., in order to stimulate development for the Video Toaster Flyer source code DiscreetFX is launching an Instant Bounty contest. What is an Instant Bounty? This is a bounty that is paid once a programmer has requested and been assigned a programming task for Open Video Toaster. This does take a little trust on our part since bounties are paid before coding even begins. Programmer past developments and applications will be taken into serious consideration and help gain them approval for OVT Instant Bounties. Programmers should review source code for the bounty in question before applying for consideration. Each development task for OVT will have set guidelines and coding time limits. <span style="font-weight: bold;">(Read more...)</span>

On schedule and not rocking like usual, OS4Emu 2.0 is released only two years late and is more annoying than ever. While slacking and playing Halo on X-Box, we developed a few new features and fixed some old!

Beta versions of prism2.device and etherlink3.device (a replacement for 3c589.device) that support PCMCIA cards under AmigaOS4 and MorphOS are now available for download. Thanks must go to Chris McGonagle for testing several versions of the OS4 drivers on a PPC-equipped A1200 as I don't have such hardware.

Be sure to install the provided 68k pccard.library in LIBS:. Further information about installation, compatible cards and contact details can be found in the older prism2 and 3c589 archives on Aminet.

Download here. Please report successes as well as failures - I need to know if the software is ready for a full release.

GammaMeter is a simple tool for measuring gamma coefficient of display devices. It uses luminance comparision method, so it does not need any external hardware. GammaMeter uses MUI, is localized and is distributed with source code on BSD license.
