Flickerfixer/scandoubler: Indivision ECS V4 software 1.1 (beta), P96 driver Individual Computers is providing a software update for the Indivision ECS V4 scandoubler/flickerfixer, which has been available since this month. Jens Schönfeld writes: Config tool V1.1 (release candidate) contains the latest core with Framebuffer and 2D acceleration. The tool will also complain if it's opened on an RTG screen. If P96 has taken over, it really did, and also takes control of output frequencies. The software would compete for output modes and hardware resources in general, which can't be resolved in a meaningful way. The best solution is to launch the tool when it's on a native graphics mode. Launch this tool and make a rescue disk first. Then choose "Flash Firmware" from the drop-down menu (press and hold the right mouse button and move the mouse to the "Firmware" text in the title bar of the screen). The screen will turn black and the monitor will lose sync during the update process, which takes around 15 seconds. Don't interrupt this process - let it run until the picture comes back. The new core will be active immediately, which you can verify on the core version displayed in the OSD I have also added a tiny archive with the new P96 driver for Indivision ECS V4. Install by copying it to the libs:Picasso96/ drawer. This driver makes use of the blitter. Further, transfers from an A1200 accelerator on ACA500plus into the ECS V4 frame buffer are twice as fast if you have hardware ACA500plus HW ID $0B. This is shipped as standard with current cards, and we'll make a JTAG Updater available for all older versions of the ACA500plus (all the way back to units shipped in 2016!) in a few weeks. Please report back if you find any errors - or if it just works for you. The P96 driver should work with older versions of P96 as well (back to V3.2.0), so in order to participate in thie beta test, you don't have to buy the latest version but use the one you've purchased between December 2020 and today.

QEMU frontend for booting AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS: Kyvos V1.1.0 Just over a week ago, we reported on the cross-platform (Linux, macOS and Windows) QEMU front end "Kyvos" published by George Sokianos, which is designed to make it particularly easy for users to set up and start AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS with just a few clicks, without having to delve deep into the configuration. With the update to version 1.1.0, it is now possible, among other things, to set up up to three different hard disk images in a virtual system via the "Media" tab. In addition, 26 pages have been added to the manual, including a brand new section on AmigaOS 4.1 FE and all the steps required to update it with the latest available software.

Action adventure: Amiga 40 update of Castlevania AGA To mark the 40th anniversary of the Amiga, Dante Mende has released a major update to his port of Konami's NES action-adventure game "Castlevania" (video), which offers features such as better color use, AGA gradients, animated backdrops, calibrated jump physics, menu toggle for weapons release method and new music tracks by IM76 and DJ Metune. And the author points out: "Since this is a fairly big update, it's expected that it may fail in different hardware configurations or produce unexpected results. Known issues: may play the wrong animation while on stairs, or get stuck, specially if you use up/down. Prefer to use left/right and treat stairs as if they are a terrain slope (which they are, internal engine-wise)." (dr) [News message: 28.

Preview video: E-mail client "AMail" v0.0.5 At the end of May, we reported for the first time on Ryan 'bluewizard' Stapleton's project to write "AMail", a modern email client for AmigaOS 3.2 that supports IMAP and SMTP. In a new preview video, he explains that the secure connection via AmiSSL now works, which took him a lot of time. He also describes what is not yet working – emails are not stored locally, and the ability to delete emails on the server still needs to be implemented – and which features he would like to add. He expects to release a pre-alpha version by the end of September. (dr) [News message: 28. Jul. 2025, 13:31] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Nature sounds for relaxation: auraFly 1.1.1 George Sokianos' Hollywood program auraFly for AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS/x86 allows you to mix different nature sounds to relax or work more focused (amiga-news.de reported). You can now save your selected sounds and volumes as presets, and five of these mixes are already included. In addition, the window size has been significantly reduced to take up less space on the screen. However, the program can also be iconified without interrupting playback. (snx) [News message: 27.

MorphOS: MIDI soft synthesizer FrozenLiquid 1.3 Antoine 'Tcheko' Dubourg's FrozenLiquid is a command line program for MorphOS that plays incoming MIDI signals as sounds without requiring the corresponding hardware. CAMD and Reggae are required. The sound synthesis is based on FluidLite. Version 1.3 now uses FluidSynth 2.4.7, updated by Bruno 'BeWorld' Peloille. In addition, the task priority has been increased to "1" to improve playback. The name of the Reggae class has also been corrected. (snx) [News message: 27.
