Tutorial: Installation guide for AmigaOS 4.1 under QEMU 8
QEMU is an open-source computer emulator and virtualiser. This means you can functionally simulate computers or provide virtual systems that replicate the functionality of a real system. QEMU is able to emulate a complete computer in software without the need to support hardware virtualisation. So it is also possible to emulate Amiga operating systems like AROS, AmigaOS or MorphOS on QEMU. This is provided by the developer Zoltan Balaton who shares many information and tips on his webeite. In the middle of 2021, Amiga-News.de had a closer look at the installation of MorphOS under QEMU 6.

Website application: The virtual Hippoplayer
It all started at the end of 2009, when Spot created aSCIIaRENa as a website for the ASCII scene, which underwent a complete relaunch in 2021 with the help of 'Burps', 'Nicomen', 'Phantasm' and 'Ziphoid'.
Later came other ideas, they wanted to clone the number one ASCII tool, CygnusED, as CED for the web as a way to co-op on ASCII collys similar to how google docs works, but in a CED environment, Fred and Phiwer was brought into the team to write CED. It is available in alpha state now.

Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga V2.4 beta 1
Dirk Hoffmann continues working on his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS and now has released the first beta version of v2.4. Changes:
Enhancements:
- Improved thread synchronization (Adaptive sync)
- Warp boot support
- Code cleanup
The minimum system requirement for his emulator has been raised to macOS 11.0. Since the developer has left the "Apple Developer Program" ("too expensive"), the app is no longer certified. This means that from now on a warning will be displayed when the app is started.
