Hollywood plugin: hURL 1.2 for several data transfer protocols
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with a major update of hURL - the ultimate multi-protocol data transfer plugin for Hollywood, which allows Hollywood scripts to transfer data using all kinds of different network protocols including full SSL support.
Version 1.2 is a major update that now supports Hollywood 9's extended network adapter so that Hollywood's DownloadFile() and UploadFile() functions can now handle all protocols supported by hURL instead of just HTTP. This makes it much easier to use hURL because you often don't have to use hURL's lowlevel interface any longer but can just use DownloadFile() or UploadFile().

FPGA: First Playstation1 game for MISTer
In mid-August we reported that Robert 'FPGAzumSpass' Peip had announced a Playstation1 emulation for the MISTer. In mid-October he announced via YouTube video that first games would basically run. Now yesterday via Twitter announced that with RidgeRacer the first PlayStation game is now playable on MiSTer: Some bugs are still present, but encourage testing. Unfortunately, those who do not have a second SDRAM available will have to wait a few more days.
He has documented his efforts in a GitHub project.

Emulation: vAmiga as web port
Christian Corti has obviously specialized in web conversions of emulators and programs with his web presence NEOART Costa Rica: Thus, besides the web conversion of the C64 emulator "VirtualC64" and the music tracker "Future Composer" in the form of a remake, he also offers the web conversion of the Amiga emulator for MacOS vAmiga developed by Dirk Hoffmann. All that is needed is a current browser such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox. The required ROMs are provided in the form of an 'AROS Replacement Kickstart ROM'. It is also possible to use your own ROMs, but tests in this regard have failed on our part. Corti explicitly points out the beta status of the project, but we wanted to see how applicable this already is and chose as a test object the game Crazy Columns, which the author Jochen Hoffer provides in the form of an adf file.

Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.9.13
Rupert Hausberger's "Scripted Amiga Emulator" is written in Javascript and HTML5. The goal of his project is to make the 'Amiga Classic' emulation available for browsers. This should not require any browser plugins or third-party scripts, but only HTML5 and Javascript. Finally, it should be possible to play demos, intros or mods, play games or benchmark the browser. After a small break, he has now brought version 0.9.13 online, which brings the following changes:

AmigaOS 3/4: New Netsurf test build
In May 2020 the version 3.10 of the ReAction-based Amiga port of the web browser Netsurf was released. Until the next official release 3.11, so-called test builds are published by the developers, which already include changes but may still contain bugs.
After a longer break, Chris Young has now updated the build version #5314 with the root certificates, which are included in the currently current version #5318. When asked, Chris Young explained to us that especially the OS3 version has to be considered as a pure test version - 'very alpha/beta quality'. Furthermore, he holds out the prospect of a possible special AmigaOS 3.2 version, should it prove true that the ReAction gadgets and his workarounds for the old versions are the cause of the instability.
A short test of the OS4 version first takes us to our main page, which loads without problems. When selecting a single message, three or four seconds pass:
Now the message about Ben Hermans is selected and the source on amigaworld.net is called. The page loads quickly, but an additional window opens with a list of JavaScript errors. At least it becomes clear that the page obviously does not work without the infamous tracking tool..:
Well remembered is that GitHub pages often cause difficulties (under previous Wayfarer versions sometimes no text was visible), so we test the link to Dirk Hoffmann's MacOS emulator vAmiga:
The page itself loads very quickly, but the warning messages increase again. Furthermore, logging in is not possible because the corresponding link is missing. Basically, JavaScript can be disabled in the settings. Furthermore Chris Young gave us the tip to add "log_filter:level:CRITICAL" to the choice file under NetSurf/Users/Default to stop the display of the errors. Finally, we allow ourselves to type a big name into the input field: heise.de:
Apart from the fact that you are overwhelmed by JavaScript errors, this was probably a bit too big. But NetSurf ran stable and one can only hope that the development will be continued to have another alternative especially under AmigaOS 4.

Emulation: FS-UAE Lanucher 3.1.48
The "FS-UAE Launcher" is responsible for configuring and launching the Amiga emulator FS-UAE. The now released update includes some translations that were forgotten in the original release. The author points out that due to changes in the SDL library used by FS-UAE, the controller configuration in FS-UAE Lanucher may need to be updated to make the emulator respond to all joystick or joypad buttons again.
