Emulation: BBoot bootloader V0.6 for QEMU
BBoot is a simple, minimal bootloader for loading AmigaOS on QEMU-emulated AmigaOne and Pegasos2 machines, written by Amiga QEMU developer Balaton Zoltan (amiga-news.de reported). It replaces amigaboot.of on Pegasos2 and slb_v2 on AmigaOne and simplifies the booting of AmigaOS 4 under QEMU. A firmware ROM is no longer required. The current version 0.6 solves problems when booting the AmigaOne machine with the latest QEMU 9 version.

As Balaton Zoltan kindly explains to us, this new version is currently only required for those users who compile QEMU themselves from the current Git master repository, from which version 9.0 will later emerge.
The developer has also provided a tutorial Booting AmigaOS 4.1 on QEMU with BBoot.

However, as Alinea, for example, has informed us, the AmigaOne version of AmigaOS 4 has not been available for some time despite ordering from Hyperion Entertainment. The company could not be reached for comment. (dr)

AROS: Music program ProTrekkr v2.6.6 (update)
ProTrekkr is a tracker program combining a software synthesizer together with a traditional samples tracker which can (mainly) be used to create electronic music (like psytrance, trance goa, hard acid, IDM, chip, techno, jungle, etc.) targeting small sized intros, demos or games. Now version 2.6.5 was released for AROS (and FreeBSD, macOS and Windows). Changes:
  • Added handling for 512 midi patches via bank selection.
  • Fixed a couple of bugs in the standalone replay.
  • Added effects 3F & 40 to set the scale of the two 303 units.
  • The file keyboards.txt was missing from the repository.
  • Added effects 29, 2A & 2B to turn tracks compressor on/off, set compression threshold & ratio respectively.
  • Fixed the audio bug on Intel Macs.
Download: ptk_v2.6.6_aros.zip (23 MB)

Update (21.02.2024, 06:05):

Version 2.6.6 is available and the download link above was adapted. Changes:
  • Doesn't actualize UI from audio thread anymore (which fixed a few issues).
  • Fixed the 303 units note off bug.
  • Added a function to swap two instruments in the patterns.
  • Refactored a lot of the code
