C64.rulez.org Is Up!
[ Plus/4 World ] C64.rulez.org Is Up!
Posted by: Csabo
After a lengthy downtime, it appears that the largest FTP site of Plus/4 software, c64.rulez.org is back up. Lion explains:Soci ran it at his workplace lately, when he was in Dubai. Then he moved back to Hungary (same company), and the foreign department simply removed the server. So he gave me a backup to put online temporarily. That's the story in short. Respects to the site maintainers. We can only hope it stays up. Let the downloading begin!

BitJam Remix Compo Voting Cancelled
Today we decided to bring the first Bitjam Remix Compo voting process to an end, and unfortunately for everyone, it turned out to end on a dismal note, which is a really disturbing and sad situation for us organizers and contributors, but while it's something we probably could have avoided, it's certainly not something good faith would've caused us to expect:
There will be no winner. All votes are discarded and the compo is officially cancelled.
Why? Because we've been monitoring the votes and new accounts for the last week or so and the amount of fake accounts and ridiculously biased votes became just simply insulting. We have the IP-ranges, we have the email addresses starting with "bitfellasfakevote@...", hell, we even have users registered with the same surnames as the entrants - it's pretty damn obvious any way you slice it. It's just feels like a slap in the face after the work we did for setting the thing up, musicdisk included.
But seriously. Did you think we're that stupid? Or for that matter, did you think it helps? For God's sake, it was supposed to be a fun-compo with no material gain apart from maybe a little icon next to the song name on BitJam and a week of fame on Pouet - was that REALLY worth your virtual penis sizes? Jeez, more than 15 people entered tunes, some of them are compo organizers who can even have access to the database directly and still they didn't bother messing with it - because it won't make the music itself any better.
We, the organizers, would like to apologize to everyone who really just set their tunes free in the hands of the voters and played the game fair, and everyone who really spent time judging the tracks and voting honestly: you've been robbed of the fun, obviously, and we can take some of that blame for not having a more sophisticated voting system - it's just that we really didn't expect this, of all things Bitfellas, to go this juvenile. Next time we'll be more alert for this... if there will be a next time.
We're really sorry, guys. We had no choice left.

Mazemod: Amiga-mod-tunes from the chipmusic-scene
I'm sure you will definitively enjoy visiting this website. It's fun, full of screaming colors and only Amiga/mod-Tunes from the chipmusic-scene on it, that will make you smile.
Mazemod is an internet-streaming-station for tracker music made with the Amiga. The music collection is really good and generally in a high quality. If you fall in love into special tracks or playlists, you can download them as .zip file. Almost all contents on Mazemod come with free licenses, like GPL and Creative Commons, exept the music itself. Every music creator decides about the licensing himfself. Source

Commodore 64 co-stars in new novel about the music industry:
[ c64.sk ] Commodore 64 co-stars in new novel about the music industry:
The Commodore 64 co-stars in a thrilling new novel that satirises the music industry. University of Death by Sean McManus reveals what happens when a major record label builds a program that creates and markets perfect pop songs, tailored for each listeners taste. At the heart of the system is a Commodore 64 churning out random melodies. "Basing the system on a Commodore made it credible for one man to maintain the software in secret for decades," says Sean McManus. "It doesn't hurt that characters could sneak off for the odd game of Beach Head, too!" Sean McManus has written for magazines including Commodore Format, Amstrad Computer User, Internet Magazine, Making Music, and Melody Maker. Readers can learn more about the book and download free chapters at http://www.sean.co.uk

Arok 10 has just ended, and we can rejoice in the abundance of new Plus/4 releases from the party. The "big winner" from our scene was Skoro/ASN this time around, whose new C16 demo Monitor reached 3rd place in the demo compo. In the graphics compo, there were some very pleasant surprises: UFO by Harry and Mazda MX by MMS. Respects to the guys for representing our scene with quality gfx! ACW keeps their claim of the most active team with no less than 3 new releases: an intro called Hauslich (the title is their answer to Háziasan) and two graphics: Plussycat by Jedi and Rosalia by Chronos. Congratulations to Jedi for his 4th place in the graphics compo! Check out the party pics courtesy of Chronos here.

Demoscene book is back: 2nd edition of FREAX Vol.1
2005 released, 2006 sold out, now the 2nd edition is available: "FREAX Volume 1" - the most exciting and most complete book about the (hi)story of the C64 and Amiga demoscene, telling the story of the machines as well as of the underground subcultures around them. The book contains 350 pages and is illustrated with 480 color photos and screenshots. This is the comprehensive guide to the golden era of home computers. If you actively witnessed this time the book will make you feel the urge for at least a substitute drug. We highly recommend this book to everybody who would like to learn more about the early days of digital multimedia art and the demoscene. [ Read more ]
Optionally bundled with the FREAX book: The double-CD Immortal 3 features more than 150 minutes of newly arranged music from no less than 35 classic Amiga games. In contrast to other remix projects the concept of Immortal is to let the original authors (e.g. Chris Huelsbeck, Allister Brimble, Jochen Hippel, Tim Wright, Olof Gustafsson) do new interpretations of their very own tracks (with a few exceptions) using all the latest studio technology. The result is a colourful mixture - from the bombastic orchestral version of the Apidya title track to the wonderful solo-piano version of Ambermoon and synth-hits such as Pinball Fantasies or Elfmania, powerful e-guitars in Death Mask, the typical Amiga lead-synth in Lotus 3 or the irish-folk-style Ghouls'n Ghosts - there's almost no style missing.

[ Demoparty.net ] TRSAC 2008, October, 17th - 19th, DK
date: October, 17th - 19th
country: DK
»TRSAC is an acronym for "The Real Scene After Christmas" - a somewhat acerbic comment directed at The Party at the end of the century. In fairness, the TP staff already admitted that the scene had gone out of The Party three years earlier, when they subtitled The Party '96; "The End of an Era". TRSAC was born as an alternative party, and as a home for real sceners, who didn't want to be massively outnumbered by endless rows of Quake-gaming youngsters, who, when they weren't playing LAN-games, were surfing porn and mp3zzz on the network.
This year, we aren't hosting TRSAC after Christmas, but none the less it is still a friendly, scene-only party, where the focus is entirely on fun, friendly competition, and having a good time.
At TRSAC, we'll have some of the usual compos, and some of the not so usual ones. We'll also have amiga gaming, oldskool demoshow by Darkhawk, and free food on Saturday evening. There might even be free drinks as well, thanks to our very nice sponsors, who have also promised some prizes for the compos. Usually, this isn't TRSAC's style, but since the manufacturers of our ducks actually stopped producing them, we are looking into other options.
We want you to join us for a laugh, a beer and some food - and then to show off your leet skills in the compos. Because we love you, god dammit!!!1!! «

Reyns GrandMix 2008 (1st of three)
[ Remix64 ] Reyn's GrandMix 2008 (1st of three)
Hello remixers and listeners!
In Holland there was this guy in the '80's and '90's called Ben Liebrand, who mixed all the hit songs from that year into a one hour long track. I loved those remixes, and I thought it would be nice to take new tracks from RKO and put them in one big long remix.
I took tracks from the first 4 months of the year and there are now 32 different tracks pressed into this first GrandMix which is 40 minutes long. If I would do all three Grandmixes this year every 4 months (to make the full year) in the end combining them would mean a 2 hour GrandMix 2008! Could be a fun beginning of next year!
I'm gonna broadcast the first remix next Thursday 28th of August at 20:00! Be on time!
And keep on remixing! I need the material! Let's make this a great Remix64 year!!
Cheers, Reyn.

Titan released muncho, an executable packer for Mac OS X
Muncho is an executable packer for Mac OS X written to create 4k intros. It replaces the linker that would be used for a normal compile. It converts all library references to references by hash and then compresses the resulting code using a custom context mixing compression algorithm.
Go get it here.
