Malibu is a plugin for Hollywood which contains an import filter for Scala

presentations made with the classic Scala software for Amiga computers. As

soon as Malibu is installed, Hollywood will suddenly be able to show those

Scala presentations or compile them.

With Malibu it is now possible to run those Scala presentations without the

actual classic Amiga hardware. Because the whole emulation runs on top of

Hollywood's multimedia application layer you can run Scala presentations on

every platform supported by Hollywood. In many cases the quality of the

pictures that Malibu displays is much better than the original Scala quality

because Scala often had to remap many pictures with very different colors to

a 8-bit display which resulted in a massive loss of color information. With

Malibu, however, all graphics are shown in true colour.

Malibu emulates nearly the whole Scala command set and supports all Scala

versions from 1.0 up to Scala InfoChannel 500 which was the last Amiga

version of Scala. Emulation is done by the El Capitan microkernel which

tries to achieve the best performance possible on the system used. For

example, the next page is already calculated while the current page is on

the display. Complex transition effects can also be pre-calculated and then

displayed smoothly.

Scala is a program which helped the Amiga to become a real Multimedia

wonder. There were no products for a long long time that could beat an Amiga

with Scala. Therefore Scala was widely used in all different production

fields, from movies and television to big shows. Everyone who has worked

with Scala knows what powers it has. But this power is only possible because

Scala is very hard-coded to the Amiga's custom chips which leads to the

problem that it does not run on modern Amiga systems or other platforms. For

many years all sorts of users complained that there was no Scala that runs

RTG compatible. This time is over now. Malibu revives Scala in a completely

system-friendly way.

Builds of this plugin for other platforms (Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux)

are available from the official Hollywood portal which is online at
