Amiga emulator for macOS: vAmiga V3.0b2
Starting with version 2.6.1, developer Dirk Hoffmann made changes to the internal architecture of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS with the aim of porting the new emulator architecture of VirtualC64 v5.0 to vAmiga in order to enable features such as Run-Ahead (background article). Now he has released the second beta version of version 3, which, among others, introduces this feature. Changes compared to the first beta version:
  • Inserting floppy disks failed to work for some file formats such as EXE files.
  • Fixed a bug that routed some key events to the Amiga keyboard instead of RetroShell.
  • The CIA panel occasionally reported idle times exceeding 100%.
The minimum system requirement for its emulator is macOS 11.0. (dr)
