JOS News and updates. I've got my hands on a dual serial interface card thanks to Josef and Thomas at IDE64. It's much like a turbo232 except has two ports, so you can use a PC mouse with it as well. For more information email Josef or Thomas. Since it's very similar to turbo232, I should be able to change my duart driver into a turbo232 driver very easily, but I can't test it, any volunteers to test it? :) Also there are some developments in the Disk driver side of things, with a couple of people helping me out, namely Stryyker/Onslaught and Doc Bacardi/The Dreams, who are helping me make some drivers for CMD drives. So hopefully soon, anyone will be able to give JOS a go. There are some other changes which can be read about in the news page, and there are screenshots of the new geos font capabilities on the gui screenshot page. Jolse

24/08/2000... Bburago Rally Jewel version released: For all those who still enjoy playing games on the Commodore 64, there's good news: Finally there is a bug free version of Bburago Rally, the (in)famous racing game from 576KByte. Many people had problems with this game because it was not possible to buy a new car due to a bug in a cracked version. The new version, released by DMAgic, is completely bugfixed. Next to the bug mentioned above, a stack overflow in the carshop was fixed. Furthermore, the player doesn't get the sprites of the computer car when the computer upgrades his car - a bug found in other versions due to the use of a leveldecruncher which loaded the sprite data to a fix address. DMAgic's version also has two nice add-on's: The first is a music menu - now you can choose from 4 musics in the race instead of having always the same tune. The second is the SuperCPU ramdisk system - a SCPU with ramcard is automatically detected and used, all data once loaded will stay in ram and retrieved from there when needed, thus saving a lot of loading time. Go to the SuperCPU home To download it. Thunderblade
