`01.Oct.2022` Christian Zigotzky (Mail)	Linux: Cro-Mag Rally released Two days ago we reported about Roman 'kas1e' Kargin's port of the racing game Cro-Mag Rally for AmigaOS 4. In the process, he and the original developer also solved some big endian issues. Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky could now compile the game for Linux PowerPC (32-bit) and thus make it available for the AmigaOne X1000/X5000 Linux distributions Void PPC 32-bit and MintPPC. Download: CroMagRally_3.0.0_linux-powerpc.tar.gz (123 MB). (dr) [News message: 01. Oct. 2022, 21:27] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`01.Oct.2022`	Amiga emulator: Amiberry 5.4 Amiberry is an Amiga emulator for ARM-based single-chip systems like the Raspberry Pi, the Odroid XU4 or the Tinkerboard from ASUS, which brings some newly developed features like a "WHDLoad-Booter" or support for controller configuration using RetroArch. For example it is used in the Workbench distribution AmiKit for the Raspberry Pi 4/400. A few moments ago, version 5.4 has been released. Changes: Bugfixes whdbooter settings were not all parsed correctly Fix CD audio not resuming after unminimize 32bit to 64bit clock counter missing update fixed macOS compile errors regarding uaeserial always use mouse 0 for mice, until SDL2 supports > 1 system mouse settings from XML db were not always parsed correctly fixed flickering in native modes when Fast copper was enabled copy all prefs when doing a hard reset Fixed some memory leaks Hard reset CPU startup was not identical to initial power up WHDbooter game paths with commas would not work Improvements implemented Screenshot to file custom event Added the possibility to compile with a version of GCC older than 8.0 P96 - Implement all previously implemented blitter operations Save also MSM6242B RTC model control registers to RTC file added uaeserial implementation from dev merged OpenGL experimental version from dev Make sure hardware emulated RTG boards don't have barrier at the start of VRAM space to fully support JIT direct merged CIA rewrite from dev Optimize compiler code generation for 'strlen()' Fix disk read handling when attempting to read from non-selected drive use double fields line mode by default brought statusline drawing closer to WinUAE method Chors moved variable closer to scope minor sync from dev branch removed obsolete variables WIP merge diffs from dev into master bring custom chip emulation closer to WinUAE synced gfxboard.h with dev (dr) [News message: 01.

`01.Oct.2022`	DIY project: ATX power adapter for Amiga 500 tower project 'wiretap-retro' has developed an adapter for its Amiga-500 tower project, which is attached to the motherboard or another suitable place in the case via two spacers. It allows the connection of a standard ATX power supply and provides a 4-pin molex connector (for the Amiga 500 power connector) and 3 standard fan connectors for 12V fans. The project is open source and can be modified as desired. (dr) [News message: 01. Oct. 2022, 06:49] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`01.Oct.2022`	Block-oriented copying: Device Streams 2.0.0 Roc Vallès i Domènech has updated the Amiga tool "Device-Streams" for block-oriented copying, similar to UNIX command dd, which was originally developed and released by Christian E. Hopps in 1993. AmigaOS 2.04+ is required. Changes: Cleaned up code. Removed SAS/C-isms and updated to build in modern toolchains. Use of 64bit offsets throughout. Safeguards added against 32bit overflow wraparound. Use dos.library for file I/O. (dr) [News message: 01. Oct. 2022, 06:39] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
