Capy is finaly out. After lotsa work and even more lazyness we did it .)) There is not lotsa levels, but we HOPE u ppl will like editors and use imagination to create new Worlds! And send those to us, of course, so we may put them here and share them with other Capy owners...
Capyis mixture of Oxyd and Sokoban. It runs in
640*480*16 on Falcon and TT, On Falcon u may have CHIP or MOD musix
and CHIP only on TT... If u want to run it in RGB u must have screen
expander software and set 640*480*16 before u run the game. I dont
believe it will run on GFX cards because they use VDI format of video
RAM and Capy ordinary RAW....
Capy's specifications are :

Any respond in form of encouragment, critics, help, wishes, whatever .)) is apreciated!!! Sent them on email:
Softer Side is module compilation. It is made completely in GFA. We had feeling that there is too much techo and similar stuff, so we compile few nice funky tunes from Toodeloo. Modules are in GT2 format.. Well nothing much to say, listen and ENJOY!
Digital RelaXatioN evolve from LameDemo No.1. It was my first ASM attempt and never released (in proper way). So i grab few routs from it, merged them with new knowledge and put some nice chip (in MOD format) tunes in it.. I got stuck when had to write some text, greeting and stuff... So i decided to put in little fantasy story i wrote some time ago.. Replay routs are from SIMPLET. I apreciate a lot to Evl/DHS and Thomas/NBD for help! Last but not least i must thanx Toodeloo and 505 for great tunes! F10 (hidden) tune is tune from Terminal fuckup demo by Sanity, and its one of my favs..
Next YesCREW's occupation is MiNT support! MiNTOs is great OS but it isnt easy to install and maintain for begginers, so we did YesTOOLS. They include few MUST HAVE apps for MiNT,not included in KGMD package. YesTOOLS are packed and compiled for EASY setup, so they are suitable for MiNT/UNIX begginers. Those apllications are just gathered and packed together by me, but they were ported to MiNT by other enthusiasts!!! Advanced users may get those apps separately in original archives on MiNT pages. ALL u need to do is: As root untar the package using "tar xvf yestools.tar" (i recomend u do make new folder for YesTOOLs.) Then u just type "./install".. Thats all folks! After installation u may delete YesTOOLs package! In package are:
Current YesTOOLS version available:
YesTOOLS v1.3
This is a full working Ext2 filesystem driver for FreeMiNT. The complete project is copyrighted by the GNU Public License.
It can read and write the actual ext2 version as implemented in Linux for example. The partition size is not limited and the logical sector size can be 1024, 2048 or 4096 bytes. The only restriction is that the physical sector size is smaller or equal to the logical sector size. The blocksize can be configured if you initialize the partition with mke2fs.
The next good thing is that it's a lot faster than the MinixFS. The Ext2 has a very good structure that is designed for maximal speed and avoids also fragmentation automatically.
Ext2.xfs requires a XHDI compatible harddisk driver. It also requires an actual FreeMiNT version (at least 1.15.1 beta 0.6). The right version is checked on startup. This version also needs a 68020 as minimum because the bitmap operations use inline assembler statements that base on bitfield statements.
Make sure that your ext2-partition is recognised by the harddisk driver. You can achieve this by either changing its partition ID to e.g. RAW or by telling your driver to serve the current partition name (e.g. LNX).
The default cache of the new buffer cache in FreeMiNT is small. To get a better performance of the Ext2.xfs increase the buffer cache.
Also use the latest e2fsprogs (version 1.14). These version work much better than the previous version 1.10 from Axel.
Copy ext2.xfs into the directory of yout boot partition which contains minix.xfs (e.g. c:\multitos) and restart your computer.
BE CAREFUL WHEN USING THIS PROGRAM. I, THE AUTHOR, CAN'T TAKE ANY GARANTY THAT YOU WILL NOT LOOSE ALL OR ANY OF OUR PRECIOUS DATA WHEN USING THIS PROGRAM. BACKUP OFTEN, BACKUP QUICK.
E2fsprogs are tools necesary for creating, optimizing and tunning ext2 partitions.. ATM u may only create ext2 partiton from RAW or LNX partiton type, so change that before runing mke2fs.

Ext2fs-0.55 is loadable ext2 driver for FreeMiNT. Put it in your MINT or MULTITOS folder.
Latest version features:
0.55 - fix bug in device driver; the file size is a global attribute for every file descriptor - fix bug in readdir; sometimes an invalidated cache block was accessed 0.54 - fix another bug in rename; missing cross device rename check rename is hopefully correct now :-) - optimized debug messages a little bit 0.53 - fix bug in rename; missing DIR links decrement 0.52: - readdir rewritten - replaced blocksize access by macros - optimized some time critical multiplications - fix bug in mkdir & symlink; already exist check was missed 0.51: - cleanup in ext2_new_inode - fix bug in ext2_free_inode, cookie must be removed from cache (bit already cleared errors) - some optimizations, cleanup in e_mkdir, e_rmdir, e_creat, e_remove - fix bug in e_readlink - added inode_cache_dump (for debug version) - fix bug in e_rename; missing link decrement (zero dtime errors during filesystemcheck) - fix bugs in ext2_getblk functions (unsigned <-> signed, overflow and so on) - optimzed getname; directory operation now in namei.c - some optimizations related to clean shutdown - change history order

Those programs are GEM Utils, either MiNT or Internet related. All of them are done by Kellis, so we may talk of some kind Kellis Utility Pack here :)))
UNIC is kinda MiNT FS explorer and its designed for FAST acces to MiNT filesystem directories under GEM and for brief explanations of theirs usage...
Current (24.04.98) Unic version available:
Unic 2.6 - 21.850 Bytes
MiNT Setter is tool which allows to monitor and change MiNT's multitasking and system settings.... It display TOS, AES and GEMDOS version, kernel info, and allows to change SECURITY levels and TIMESLICE settings "on the fly". Furthermore, it shows AV_SERVER if any, UNIX mode and VIRTUAL MEMORY status... U also may select VFAT partitions and Write Back Cache, Kernel debug level/device select in realtime...... A MUST HAVE! Also Kellis released MiNT Setter sources.

Mint Setter 3.8 - 103.207 Bytes
FreeGem is tool which allows to monitor RAM usage. It is designed in shape of Led VU-meter and each led means 10% of RAM.. Clicking on "INFO" icon shows u exact amount of ST or TT RAM still free

GEM Minit and Uptime belongs in same group as UNIC. Geminit is GEM shell for minit, MiNT's utility to create minixFS partitions. Uptime is GEM versionof MiNT's utility, which shows u used time, no. of users logged and system load.... (they should be released soon)
EmuXL is emulator of magnificient Atari 800XL. So far OS and Basic runs, and few Games with crapp sound atm.. Its 100% done in ASM. Support Draco (with mails, etc) to continue this great work! (what i am saying, i hate emus...)

More about EmuXL and beta releases u will find on Draco's Pages
Mp2-096 is NoCrew's great mpeg2 audio player, but we did some patches, mainly to be more compatible with minix filesystem. more about that in CHANGES text file inside archive... BTW player is still "copyrighted" by NoCrew :)) (Draco)

Hello4 is really an unuseful, bonus program, which demonstrates the advantages of internal multitasking (aka multithreading) :)) More in docs (Draco did this proggie so he should (?) knows what it does). BUT threaded version is a lot faster as normal version in TOS... So multithreads DO work i guess ;) (Draco) ;)))
