The Apidya soundtrack has been re-recorded. The old soundtrack was one of the very first I recorded back in 1996 and came from an audio cassette recording using the game's sound test. My recording routine wasn't quite perfected yet, and some tracks weren't looping a second time, and the fade-out at the end of the track was too fast. All of this has now been corrected.
The new version has better sound quality and offers almost twice as many tracks, for 1 hour and 16 minutes of pure enjoyment.

The registration process is operational again (it was still broken despite my efforts to fix it last week).
If you still encounter any problems, please report them on the Abandonware Ring Discord server (link at the bottom of the page).

A small patch was applied this morning to correct the behavior of the news reader. The text is now correctly formatted when viewing older news articles. It is also now possible to comment on these older news articles.
Some corrections have also been made to the general user interface.

Shadow of the Beast 2 has been re-recorded. Instead of the old incomplete 6 tracks one, you now have:
- Video intro (audio only)
- Title Screen (loading)
- Title Screen (press start)
- Levels 1, 2 & 3 individual tracks
- 3 game over musics: several versions exists, I don't know if all were used ingame.
- Levels 1, 2 & 3 medleys as bonus tracks.

AmigaParadise was offline for a few hours today because we migrated to our own dedicated server. It was challenging, but it's finally done.

What's new? This server is faster, and there shouldn't be any more lag spikes like on our old shared server. I've also fixed the email system, so you can now register on the site again to take advantage of the advanced features (custom playlists, favorites management, and software reviews and ratings).

The audio files are still being uploaded, so not all playlists are fully functional yet (if the audio player refuses to start, it means the files aren't there yet), but you can already download the .zip archives.

Comments have arrived on Amiga Paradise!
You can now leave comments on the news I post, as well as on the game pages, cracktros, demos, etc. You can also rate the soundtracks from 0 to 10.

The comment/rating system is currently located at the bottom of the pages, but I may reorganize the way the pages are visually presented in the future.

I'm also taking this opportunity to announce that I've fixed several minor display bugs, particularly on the dashboard and the database page.

Here is the complete list of the soundtracks which has been modified or re-recorded since the opening of the website mid-june:

- Oktagon - re-recorded
- Lethal Weapon - re-recorded
- E-Motion - re-recorded
- Full Contact - added 3 SFX tracks.
- Coloris - re-recorded & added 1 track.
- Deep Core - re-recorded & added intro/outro tunes.
- Double Dragon II - re-recorded & added 1 track.
- Dragon Spirit - re-recorded & added 1 track.
- Dynamite Düx - re-recorded & added SFX.
- Nebulus 2: Pogo-a-gogo - re-recorded. Added Title Screen, loading musics & Jingles.

- T2: The Arcade Game - re-recorded. Added a missing track.

The news system is finally deployed and operational. This is an opportunity for me to welcome you (again) to AmigaParadise.
Whether you've known the site since its inception or are just discovering it today, many changes have been made: first, you can register on the site to take advantage of our brand new favorites and personalized playlists system, and also to download archives available on each software page. More is coming, such as a request system, a comment system, and a rating system.

Since the site's launch, I've been working to fill the databases so that each software page is complete; it's a fairly lengthy process that will still require several months of work.

In the meantime, I'm trying to identify soundtracks of poor quality, or that have become corrupted over time, and re-record them. You can already enjoy the recently re-recorded Lemmings soundtrack (I'll do another post very soon to give you the complete list of what's already been done).

I also wanted to thank the administrators of The Abandonware Ring who funded the server that hosts us and allows AmigaParadise to come back from the dead.

If you want to chat, or check out the new soundtracks that will soon be available, you can connect to the Abandonware Ring Discord server. You can also come and make soundtrack requests or simply report bugs.

I hope you enjoy Amiga Paradise v2. We've been online since 2011 and the project started in 1997, and I hope to serve you for a long time to come.

Welcome again!
