Amiga emulator: WinFellow 0.5.1
A new version of the Windows-based Amiga emulator "WinFellow" is available. The most important changes in this update:
  • conversion of most of the former assembler code to C
  • enhanced compatibility with many titles; the chipset interrupt handler was completely re-designed, and sound interrupt handling was changed as well, allowing execution of many titles that previously failed
  • emulation of a battery backed real-time clock (Oki MSM 6242)
  • support for 2 joysticks, usable simultaneously
  • audio volume made controllable
  • the LED overlays were changed to no longer be scaled or stretched, making them nicer to look at
  • basic Cloanto Amiga Forever/RetroPlatform Player integration
  • revamped debugger using a more modern GUI design
  • ability to generate minidumps, which allows us to debug crashes that are reported to us
  • updated PDF user guide
  • update of project files to current Visual Studio (2012 Update 2 is used to compile the builds) and DirectX; the code can now be compiled using Visual Studio Express editions
  • new versioning scheme, based on SVN revisions
  • several minor bug and stability fixes

Commodore's biography: The Amiga Years will be published in July
The second part of Brian Bagnall's biography on Commodore called Commodore - A Company on the Edge will be published - with some delay - on July 1st.

In the "The Amiga Years" the author tried to find out why "a computer now widely regarded as having been five years ahead of its competition, failed so spectacularly in the marketplace". Similar to the first part of the book, Bagnall has interviewed many former Commodore members. (cg) (Translation: dr)

TIFF-Plugin for Hollywood
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5 - Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and save images in the TIFF format. TIFF is a format that offers lossless compression and the possibility to store images with alpha channels. Although many Amiga systems already have a TIFF datatype installed, it's still recommended to install this plugin because OS4's TIFF datatype doesn't support alpha channel graphics and saving via datatypes is also problematic on many systems.

Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google's Android platform are provided. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOne X1000: Linux-Kernel 3.8.7
"xeno 74" has compiled a new version of the Linux-kernel for the X1000. Version 3.8.7 should fix problems of the Linux-kernel and RadeonHD graphic board which could occur at some OpenGL-based applications just like SuperTuxKart or the Android emulator.

For installation under Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu 12.04 the directory 3.8.7X1000 has to be copied to /lib/modules/.

Direct download: kernel-3.8.7x1000.tar.gz (5,7 MB) (cg) (Translation: dr)
