AmigaOS 4: TiMidity 0.10.5
TiMidity is a program for playing and converting MIDI-files. It was ported by Alfred Faust for AmigaOS 4. An user-interface based on ReAction and Gadtools as well as an audio output via AHI were integrated.

The current version is a preversion in order to find out if there is a need for such a programm under AmigaOS 4.

TiMidity uses the GravisUltraSound-Patches (GUS) and/or soundfonts. Those ones you cannot find in the Archiv but on OS4-depot.

IRC-Log with Adam Kowalczyk (ACK Software Controls)
At amigaworld.net there is an IRC-log where Adam Kowalczyk from ACK Software Controls Inc. announces some further details to his hardware plans. The most important details in short:

The problem of the missing A1200-plug Steckconnection for the Powervixxen LT was solved. Linux already runs on the hardware. As firmware U-Boot as well as OpenBIOS is tested. Currently Kowalczyk checks if the boards should be equipped with Onboard-Graphic (Radeon Mobility 7500/9000) instead of a mini-PCI-slot.

Kowalczyk also develops a so called "High-End Solution"-motherboard. So far a "Dev-Board" was used. Probably a first prototyp will be available in 2-3 weeks. The Northbridge-producer is not mentioned. But Kowalczyk praises the good coopearation with Tundra. The following specifications are mentioned for this board:
  • Form-Factor: MicroATX
  • CPU: 7448 with up to 1,7 Ghz (CPU-moduls compatible with AmigaOne XE)
  • FrontSideBus: 200 Mhz
  • RAM: DDR2 @ 2*200 Mhz
  • AGP: AGP-Connector in PCI-Modus (66 Mhz)
  • 3 PCI-slots (maybe 6 slots, but this would mean a higher price of 100 - 150 USD)
  • Onboard-interfaces: 2 * Gigabit-Ethernet, 2 * USB, seriel

It is still too early for a precise price. Kowalczyk guesses the price of a motherboard with 1,7 Ghz CPU with ca. 1000 USD.

Currently the most important thing is to finish the production of the CPU-moduls. There should be an introduction of "several products" on the British Amiga-event "AmiRevival" (29. June). (cg) (Translation: dr)

Software-Updates by Guido Mersmann
Guido Mersmann has published some updates of his programs. For the first time all programs are available as an OS4-native version. The dapation was only possible with the help of AmigaOS 4-users. Therefore it could be that not all functions will work correctly.

For the installation the current V44 installer is required. Unfortunately the AmigaOS 4-installer does not support all the required commands.

MMkeyboard 3.19 (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, Amithlon, WinUAE)

MMKeyboard allows the use of all multimedia keys of the system. It offers Makros, too.

Each key can be used for each single program. So the possibilities are almost unlimited.

Meridian 2.21 (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS)

Meridian offers the same possibilities like MMKeyboard. But now the keyboard is not be used but mouse movements.

R 2.19 (AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS)

R creates a MUI interface for nearly each AmigaDOS program. It is a program for Shell users or those ones who would rather have a GUI for Shell programs. In a simple way DOS programs can be integratged to DOpus. "r dir" creates an interface for the DIR-command - that cannot be easier.

Additionally R tries a localization of the arguments of the programs.

Besides this R allows to save the preferences and automatically reset. If you need always the same paths and pptions for a command then you change it and never have to do it again.

Problems of previous versions of R and the confusing error output were solved.

Finally I want to remind you that if you like or use one of the programs then please give a little donation under the title link. (cg) (Translation: dr)

The Vorbistools are a collection of programs for coding and decoding as well as the handling of audio files in the Ogg Vorbis-format.

Michel 'DMX' Bagmeijer's port for AmigaOS and WarpOS is compiled as version 1.1.1 with the latest versions of libogg and libvorbis and recognizes the Theora-Format now. (snx) (Translation: ts)

AmigaOS 4: CPC-Emulator Arnold
Arnold emulates the CPC-computers from Armstrad or Schneider (Screenshot) respectively. The main goal is a very near emulation of the original system, therefore most of the CPC-software should work properly.

The AmigaOS port of Dr.Hirudo still contains some bugs which should be fixed in future releases:
  • uses all the cpu resources
  • slower in fullscreen mode than in window
  • renders graphics only on 32-bit depth
  • when emulating some noises - the emulator crashes - represented when playing "Space Harrier"
  • double size mode is slow
  • when set frameskip, the emulator speeds up instead of working at 100% speed and skipping frames

MorphOS: SFSDoctor 1.0
After a couple of beta versions Marek Szyprowski finally published version 1.0 of his file system repair programme SFSDoctor for MorphOS today.

In doing this the corresponding Bounty-Programm was finished and about 420 US dollars were transferred.

In the future the author wants to concentrate on clearing mistakes. New functions are currently not planned.
