`10.Jul.2025`	Emu68: Imager Tool 1.0.5.2 for Windows The "Imager Tool" enables PiStorm users to prepare an SD card with the Motorola68K emulation Emu68 and a preconfigured AmigaOS 3 installation. Changes since our last news item: 1.0.5.2: Improved the Online script to better handle where connections do not work. Where connections have failed but WirelessManager remains connected, WirelessManager is closed so the log can be accessed on the Amiga (previously the log was inaccessible as WirelessManager locks the file). The logs for WirelessManager, AddInterface from Roadshow and sntp are all concatenated and written to RAM:WirelessLogs.Txt so the user can see all the information in one place for troubleshooting 1.0.5.1: Added check for encrypted Cloanto Kickstart ROMs so the user is alerted if they have chosen this ROM since it will not work on PiStorm without being decrypted (cg) [News message: 10.

`10.Jul.2025` Amiga Kit (E-Mail)	Emulator hardware: Update 46.1.1151 for A1200NG and A600GS Another software update has been released for AmigaKit's A600GS emulator platform and the ARM-based A1200NG motherboard. It is available for download to registered AmiSphere customers and includes the following changes: Upgrade PlayVideo to 46.7 Avoids using NewMinList() as this is version 50 or above only. Now put up information requester if start without avcodec backend present. Integrate latest builds of PeterKs icon.library for enhanced PNG datatype loading and other bugs fixes. Zune: fix up behaviour of MUIV_Window_Width_MinMax() Zune: Fix incorrect parsing of underscores in escape sequences resulting in the incorrect shortcut key in SimpleButtons and else where. Zune: Fix duplicate GoActive methods sent to already active objects Upgrade to Assign 46.11 Update to UnArchiver 46.4 29/06/2025 Update filesysbox.library to 54.7 Update smbfs handler to 53.10 Checking of license keys for add-on functionality like the CPU Boost product now takes place immediately after the first login after registration, so no longer requires autologin to be enabled. Amigakit reccomends to disable the auto install of avcodec on startup: most users seem to upgrade with ease, but a few are having issues resulting in an update loop. To install avcodec suite manually, go to the advanced update section and choose it from the list. (cg) [News message: 10.
