Event: Pegasos and AmigaOne at O.A.S.E.
For the first time in Austria, Pegasos and AmigaOne G3SE will be shown at next weekend's O.A.S.E. in Graz.

The Pegasos will be demontrated by DYXS GmbH, a Thendic France partner.

The current AmigaOne G3SE Board has arrived at the organisers PointDesign already in Rev. B, so at least they'll be able to show a current version of the BIOS.

Besides MorphOS on the Pegasos, parts of AmigaOS 4 will be demonstrated. Furthermore the USB cards Thylacine and Highway will be presented with USB devices. You will also be able to see the Norway Ethernet module, Mirage 4000T, and much more.

For the first time in Austria: Linux on Playstation 2, as well as 2 Gamecubes with current games for the gamers.

The O.A.S.E. Open Amiga Southeast Europe Show will take place on 14th and 15th September 2002 in the Hotel Europa in Graz, Austria. Further information about this event can be found on the O.A.S.E. web site. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Tool: TWINKICK-GENERATOR / Amiga1000 Kickdisk with OS1.3 and OS3.1
This tool from Andre Pfeiffer generates a Kickstart-Disk for the A1000-Amiga with OS1.3 and OS3.1 on 1 Disk.

Download: twinkick.lha

The tool requires a disk with two files:
  • OS1.3 (V34.5) named "KICK13.ROM" (A500/A1000/A2000)
  • OS3.1 (V40.063) named "KICK31.ROM" (A500/A600/A2000)
  • (You can generate this files with the "GRABKICK"-Tool from Aminet)
  • Don't forget to rename the files!
Execute the tool "TKG.EXE" and follow the instructions. That's all! Turn on your A1000 and insert your new Kickstart, during the boot process you will see a short instruction.

IMPORTANT:
This Kickstart requires an A1000 with 2MB or more FastMem located at $200000 (works with AutoConfig and NonAutoConfig-Expansions). (Does not work with more than one external MemoryExpansion!)

EXTRAS:
  • OS3.1 works with NonAutoConfigMemory
  • OS1.3 includes a "Game-Mode", better PAL-Check, Virus-Checker and some bugfixes

WinUAE.net (ANF)


Emulator: WinUAE 0.8.22 Release 1 (08.09.2002)
Since yesterday, the Amiga emulator WinUAE 0.8.22 Release 1 by Toni Wilen for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K and WinXP has been available in the download area of the WinUAE home page. (Unfortunately, winuae.net currently seems to be down, please write any known mirror addresses into the comments!).

The following changes have been implemented:

  • UAE 0.8.22 merge, bumped version number (but most changes were already included in R4)
  • 68000 CHK-instruction fix (Days of Thunder) and exception 3 handling update
  • real 68000 prefetch emulation ("100 most remembered C64 games" and more)
  • some custom chipset fixes (sprite-playfield collisions, graphics corruption)
  • keyboard fix (some key presses were missed when pressing multiple keys)
  • A1000 emulation fixes
  • AVIOutput update (Sane)
  • input-tab updates
  • vsync works properly in interlaced screen modes
  • sound updates/changes (DirectSound, uses UAE timing in non-JIT/vsync modes and more...)
  • filesystem bug fixes
  • CD32 pad numeric keypad emulation works again
  • fixed joystick bugs in compatibility mode
  • fast RAM state save fix
  • bsdsocket fix (Stephan Riedelbeck)
  • disk emulation fixes
New features:
  • full harddisk image support (hdtoolbox, RDB, custom filesystems, SFS and PFS3 confirmed working)
  • uaescsi.device improvements, confirmed compatible with CacheCDFS, AmiCDFS and AsimCDFS (disk change support added and use of direct scsi-mode is not needed anymore)
  • Action Replay 1 support (but breakpoints don't work)
  • CPU idle (tries to detect use of STOP-instruction, may not be complatible with all Amiga software..)
  • floppy speed slider is back
  • new AHI code and driver (Bernd Roesch)
  • Amiga <> Windows clipboard support (Bernd Roesch)
  • on the fly switching between OpenGL and DirectDraw mode
  • on the fly switching between vsync and non-vsync mode
  • compressed Kickstart ROM image support
  • build-in screenshot function, shortcut key: F11 (Sane)
  • experimental (and much slower) cycle-exact cpu and blitter emulation mode.
    WARNING: requires at least 50%+ more cpu power than "regular" mode.
    Athlon XP/Pentium IV + DDR/RAMBUS RAM highly recommended!
    WARNING2: Frameskip must be set to 1.
    WARNING3: very experimental, timing is quite far from perfection.
  • wkeykill.dll support (disables Windows-keys)
  • OpenGL scanline brightness slider added
  • and more..
