Linux: Kernel 6.11.0 for AmigaOne X1000/X5000
Parallel to the release of the Linux Kernel 6.11, Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has finally compiled it after numerous tests for the AmigaOne X1000 and X5000. Among other things, it contains a new NTFS3 driver from Paragon Software. In addition, the DPAA Ethernet now works without problems.

Amiga emulator for macOS: vAmiga V3.0b1
Starting with version 2.6.1, developer Dirk Hoffmann made changes to the internal architecture of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS with the aim of porting the new emulator architecture of VirtualC64 v5.0 to vAmiga in order to enable features such as Run-Ahead (background article). Now he has released the first beta version of version 3, which introduces this feature. He writes about it:

"When run-ahead is enabled, two emulator instances run side by side: the primary instance and the run-ahead instance. The primary instance emulates the Amiga as usual, while the run-ahead instance runs several frames ahead and generates the image texture. Both emulator instances stay in sync with a time delay, and any changes in the primary instance, e.g., triggered by a joystick event, forces the run-ahead instance to be recreated. Run-ahead mode is meant for gaming as it considerably decreases the lag between an external event, e.g., a gamepad or keyboard event, and its recognition inside the emulator.

Accommodating this feature required significant changes to vAmiga’s architecture, resulting in a major update to the codebase. While these improvements have streamlined the internal workings of the emulator, they’ve also introduced some bugs - an expected outcome with such a substantial change."

The author therefore asks for feedback in this regard. He has also implemented the following improvements, among others:
  • Snapshot compression
  • Loading and saving memory contents
  • Improved Headless app
  • RetroShell as as serial port device
  • Beamtrap debug feature
  • RetroShell commands via the command line
The minimum system requirement for its emulator is macOS 11.0. (dr)

Python script: Quarterback ADF file extractor AmigaQB_extract 0.4.2
AmigaQB_extract is a Python script that aims to restore backup copies created with the Quarterback program more successfully than the original in the event of damages. For example, the catalog stored on the first and last floppy disk is no longer needed.

The disks must be available as ADF images in order to use AmigaQB_extract. Backup copies that have not been split over several disks, but saved as a single larger file, cannot be read out for now. (snx)

Yesterday, version 10 of the Amiga Forever emulator package received a fourth update. The free update brings improved touch and multi-touch support as well as extended logging functions. In addition, if you have C64 Forever installed as well, one player will also check if there are updates for the other one. (snx)
