Multi-emulator: AmiArcadia V32.41 emulates 14 systems
The Arcadia emulator, which has been continuously developed for several years, aims to bring unusual video game consoles from the 70s/80s to new systems.The emulator has now been released in version 32.41 for AmigaOS 3.2/3.9, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS under the title AmiArcadia (there are also versions for Windows and Android). AmiArcadia currently emulates a total of 14 systems from the early video game era between 1976 and 1985 on the Amiga, of which the best-known representatives are probably the console families Interton VS 4000 and Emerson Arcadia 2001.

Demo: THE CURE V1.6 for AGA-Amigas
Some time ago, Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua released a demo called 'THE CURE' (YouTube video) which placed first at the 'Solskogen'-Demoparty 2020 in the category Oldskool (amiga-news.de reported).
He continues to maintain this demo and has now released version 1.6. The new features:
- Improved music: improved S/N ratio by eliminating 29 peaks and re-normalizing the waveform.
- Removed some useless operations from cleanup code.
Additional to an AGA Amiga the demo requires a 68030 processor with 50 MHz and about 15 MB FAST-RAM.

Video: Test of a new MOD player for Amigas with low memory
Musician, DJ and developer Ian 'h0ffman' Ford has published a video on YouTube in which he tests his new MOD player for Amigas with little memory, which is currently under development: it is based on Arnaud Carré's "Light Speed Player" (amiga-news.de reported) and in the example a 1.6 MB module is played on an Amiga 500 with 512 Kb chip RAM and 512 Kb slow RAM.
All samples are compressed with a 4-bit delta (see also "Delta coding" by Paul Bourke), which halves the size. Playback is performed using audio interrupts that stream and unpack data.

With the BSD Socket Extension for AMOS Professional by John Bintz, AMOS programmes can easily access the Internet. Originally started by the author in 1998, version 1.1.4 fixes several crashes and a problem that prevented the extension from working properly on non-emulated Amigas. An update is strongly recommended.

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 8.2 (2nd update)
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 8.0 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS. Wayfarer is now based on the WebKit engine WebKitGTK 2.44.0, which was released at the beginning of April.
As the developer explains, it is becoming increasingly difficult to update WebKit and more work is required than for the upgrades of versions 5, 6 or 7. Anyone who appreciates the work of Jacek Piszczek is welcome to make a donation.

Platform game: Level 2 of the demo version of "Silhouette Threat" for AGA-Amigas
At the end of January, we introduced the platform game project "Silhouette Threat" for AGA-Amigas in detail. A few weeks later, a demo version with the first level was released (YouTube video). Now the developer 'lionagony', supported by his daughter who contributed graphics, has released the second level which, unlike the first, scrolls automatically (YouTube video). It also offers simulated parallax scrolling on 6 layers. The author is looking forward to constructive criticism in the comments.
