In version 1.3 "strange crashes were removed when throwing a ball and jumping at same time". (dr) [News message: 09.

At the end of 2018, he had presented his project "KA02": a PCMCIA adapter for the Amiga 1200 in a standard desktop case. With the adapter, the PCMCIA card is placed vertically on the side of the Amiga and thus takes up much less space on the desk. Now he has published on Twitter a first photo of a variant that has an improved plug-in part. Inserting it into the slot is much easier that way, he says. (dr) [News message: 09.

This needs an installation of GCC. Please read his official press release: Portabl E is my recreation of the AmigaE programming language, along with most of the improvements I have wanted. Portabl E works on AmigaOS4, AROS, MorphOS, as well as even Linux & Windows! (It should also work on AmigaOS3, but compiling needs a powerful machine like WinUAE.) This is the finished r6 release, with the "beta" tag removed (amiga-news.de reported), although it hasn't really been beta since the last couple of release. See the main manual for what has changed since r5. The biggest changes since the last r6 beta release include: Added basic Linux support (64bit x86 only), to the same level as Windows, i.e. Shell-only, with no graphics or internet access. This was a major effort, partly due to all the differences (64-bit pointers, case-sensitive filing system, mount-points anywhere, etc), and partly due to all the C headers that needed to be converted. Linux: PEGCC now supports cross-compilation (for Amiga & Windows) using the TargetOS parameter, as long as an appropriate GCC cross-compiler is installed. Programs will now compile using the latest SDK of AmigaOS4, AROS and MorphOS. All OS procedures that can support unlimited parameters now do so, including the Amiga's SystemTags(). AmigaOS3: No-longer needs a modified "intuition/classusr.h" file. Added the 'std/pUnsigned' module, to provide basic support for unsigned number types, and the example program "Examples/std/Shell/crc32.e". Useful for porting certain C algorithms. Added the procedures InStrNoCase(), BigMax(), BigMin(), BigFastMod(), IsBigEndian() & IsLittleEndian(). In 'std/pTime', improved CurrentTime() to take a timezone parameter. Fixed FastNew() (and so NEW) which would trash memory, instead of raising the "MEM" exception, if it failed to allocate memory. Thanks to Dimitris Panokostas for reporting symptoms of this long-standing bug, especially as I don't see out-of-memory errors on the OSes I normally use. Amiga: The installer would fail at "Copying executables..." if the user-specified path for executables did not contain any (sub) folders, such as "C:" (which sadly was the default). Many thanks to "Zendarion" for the bug report. Windows: In 'std/pTime', CurrentTime() now returns the correct time when DST is in effect. I've renamed the language from "PortablE" to "Portabl E" with a space, in the hope of making it more easily searchable on the internet (as well as clarifying how to pronounce it). But the "PortablE" command name itself is unchanged. The new version can be downloaded under the title link or via OS4Depot. (dr) [News message: 09. Nov. 2022, 04:40] [Comments: 2 - 15. Nov. 2022, 08:45] [Send via e-mail]  [Print version]  [ASCII version] 08.Nov.2022 Preview video: Amiga port of "Cecconoid" Earlier this year, musician, DJ and developer 'Hoffman' had released the vertical-scrolling shooter Knightmare, originally written for the MSX and published by Konami, as an Amiga port (amiga-news.de reported). His new project is the port of the game "Cecconoid", originally released by "Triple Eh?": "an 8-bit inspired, flick-screen, twin-stick-shooter, set in an alternate dimension where the pixels are still chunky, and the bad guys are black and white." A Twitch recording now gives an impression of the game. As the author tells us when asked, about 85% of the game is finished. First and foremost, an integrated sub game "Eugatron" and the game's soundtrack are still missing. (dr) [News message: 08.

This has now been made up for via Jitsi and published on YouTube. The two mainly talked about the ACA1240/1260 turbo cards first announced by Individual Computers at the end of December 2018, of which the first pictures of the cooling system were shown a year later. more ...
