Amijeweled RTG: Update to V1.1/CD box pictures online

[InsaneSoft]

We are very happy to provide you a new version of Amijeweled. It is V1.1 and should solve most known problems, first of all the start problems with OS4/WinUAE (many, many thanks go to Almos Rajnai for guiding us to this nasty bug!).

Further, a new feature is a drastically reduced stack demand of Amijeweled. It should run now with a stack of 8192 bytes. We achieved this by a major rewrite of the decruncher.

Additionally, the full version bears a new highscore feature. It directly jumps to the appropriate highscore list within the title screen after entering the highscore, so you don't have to wait such long time to see your highscore in the list.

MOS users have to wait a bit more, we are very sorry. Amijeweled crashes for totally unknown reasons within the level mode, just when switching to a higher level. Amijeweled starts now on MOS (thanks go to piru of amiga.org), but it is not really playable yet. We are very sorry for this!

Customers already received the update for their full versions per email, the new demo version is available for download at our internet site right now.

Customers who ordered a CD version the last two days, or will do so today, will receive the CD with the newest version of Amijeweled on it.

If you want to have a look on the CD and its cover in advance, please visit our forum at

@flashlab:

Hmm, we really don't know, what the graphics problem you have could be, except a driver problem. We had implemented piru's suggestions regarding the mask bitmap allocation already and it works without any problems on most P96 machines (in fact we got reported such a problem from you only )

Do you use the latest P96 package?

Regarding the diamonds in the demo version: Yes, for the demo version they're all the same at every new start for the time trial mode. The normal mode provides three of the levels of the full version and the same filling diamonds pattern as the one of the full version.

For the full version, the time trial mode gives completely random diamonds, even the filling ones. The normal (level) mode gives fixed diamond patterns, too (as we want to have the same conditions for all level play lovers).

@piru: Thank you very much again for your debugging work. We have implemented the last changes you suggested regarding the timer WaitIO() (we choose the SetSignal() option for this) and await the feedback of our MorphOS testers.

The faulty CreateExtIO() indeed links in from vc.lib. We will replace this with CreateIORequest() from exec.library.

With kind regards
