Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga V2.4
Dirk Hoffmann has released version 2.4 of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS. Changes:
Enhancements:
- Improved audio filter emulation
- Added support for ADFs containing less than 80 cylinders
- Added some more ROM fingerprints
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a crash that occurred when loading certain extended ADFs
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.
