MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 3.1 (update)
Just a few days ago, with the release of the new version 3.16 of MorphOS, the Wayfarer web browser not only became the default browser of the operating system, replacing the previous one Odyssey, but the author Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek also contributed an updated version 2.10.

Today he has already released version 3.0, which offers the following features:
  • Based on a 2022 WebKitGTK tree, supports most modern websites
  • Encryption of passwords via cryptostorage.library
  • Support for custom / self-signed server certificates
  • Audio playback including HLS
  • Video playback including MediaSource support
  • Download and Bookmarks managers
  • Built-in AdBlock Plus files support
  • Written in ObjectiveC and C++
Wayfarer requires MorphOS 3.16 and at least 1GB of RAM. A 1.5GHz or faster CPU with Altivec highly recommended.

Update: (19.03.2022, 19:19, dr)

Meanwhile is version 3.1 is available fixing a crash on exiting fullscreen mode. (dr)

History: Commodore's unreleased C64 game machine
In December 1990 Commodore released the Commodore 64 Games System (C64GS), which became a big commercial failure. As the 'Commodore International Historical Society' reports in its latest blog entry, there were obviously concrete ideas in this direction some years before: Andy Finkel provides pictures in this blog entry that show an early prototype. According to the manufacturing date of the chips, this variant is said to date back to at least 1985 and contained a built-in two-button joystick from Sony. (dr)

AmigaOne X5000 available from dealers again
As Alinea announces (German) in a posting on os4welt.de, the German dealer currently has A-EON's AmigaOne X5000 in stock. The product photo in the shop is said to be outdated, the machines are now shipped in a different case. According to Alinea, the higher price for the X5000 is caused by inflation and rising component prices, on top of that the computer now ships with a full version of Enhancer 2.1. more ...

AmiTube 1.0: YouTube client for all Amiga systems
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiTube enables watching YouTube videos on an 68k Amiga. To do so, they are converted to Commodore's CDXL format and downloaded (video).

Yesterday, Version 1.0 has been released, which now includes a download queue to start multiple conversations/download jobs that are processed one after the other. Also, an AREXX interface has been implemented that provides commands to search and start a conversion job and to play a movie. Furthermore, due to the great demand, there is also a version for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. The changes in detail:
  • History for search
  • AROS64 ABIv11 bit version
  • MorphOS Version
  • Amiga OS4 Version
  • Download more Amiga-like audio only formats: mp3 and 8svx
  • dual PNG Icons by AmigaSystem
  • Download Queue
  • Improved AutoPlay
  • AREXX interface
  • Dutch Translation
The latest version always is available on the AmiTube website or via update check in the application.

Please not that conversion is executed on the developer's personal server, thus he asks to restrict oneself to few and short videos. Furthermore the program must not be shared but always be downloaded from the author's website at the title link. (dr)

Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga 2.0 Beta1
Yesterday Dirk Hoffmann released the first beta version of vAmiga 2.0 of his Amiga emulator for MacOS which is currently under development. As he tells us, he had planned to skip the final version 1.1 for quite some time, because in the meantime much more features have been added than originally planned. The highlight compared to the last beta release is the harddrive support. He wrote:
"I didn't really plan to implement this, but GitHub user mras0 has programmed a great harddrive controller (boot rom) that allowed me to add harddrive support with manageable effort. With the beta version released today, vAmiga 2.0 is feature-complete. So as soon as it proves stable enough, I'll release the official version 2.0." Detailed changes: more ... (dr)
