Last Minute Creations: Games 'GermZ' and 'Atarenium Falcon' released
Last Minute Creations', a Polish group of amiga game developers, has finally released two of their games that have been available in pre-release versions for quite some time:

In GermZ you have to try as a tiny organism not only to survive, but to infiltrate and take over other organisms (amiga-news.de reported):

Features:

single player campaign
multiplayer mode up to 4 players using joy1, joy2, WSAD, arrows controls
several maps to choose from
special cells with features expanding your tactics
in-game editor for creating own maps and campaigns

An Amiga 500 with 1MB CHIP RAM is required. The game can be downloaded as lha or adf file for a recommended price of three Euro. The source code is available on GitHub.

The second release, Atarenium Falcon, reminds at first glance a bit of the classic 'Space Taxi': With a spaceship, the player has to head for the exit already visible at the beginning of the level. However, gravity is not the problem but he has to choose the way in such a way that he collects enough coal (as fuel) and also floating capacitors and the like (amiga-news.de reported):

Again, an Amiga 500 with 1 MB chip-ram is sufficient and is also available for a recommended three Euros (more is possible, of course, but also less) as lha and adf archive. The source code is on GitHub. (dr)

03.May.2022 Motorola68k emulation: Bug-fixed FPU implementation of Emu68
Developer Michal Schulz regularly provides background information and status updates on his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture on his Patreon website.

In today's entry he reports to have finally found the bug in the FPU implementation: a copy&paste error that remained hidden for over a year! To check to what extent this has influence on the FPU implementation, he played all Elude demos available on his hard disk: All demos now run without wobbles, all effects are now shown (YouTube video). Thus, "many FPU demanding things that were broken before are working now". All twelve Elude demos shown were played on his A600 with Emu68 and PiStorm.

In addition, has been able to eliminate another bug: ARM interrupts were passed through to M68k. Now, he reports, he can finally starts developing the WiFi driver. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: FTP server 'ZitaFTP' 1.32
Hans de Ruiter has released version 1.32 of his commercial FTP server 'ZitaFTP'. He wrote:

"ZitaFTP Server v1.32 is finished, and available for download. It's missing the big new feature I had planned because I couldn't get it finished in time, and didn't want to delay the smaller enhancements any further. The improvements are:

EPSV support - enables full internet accessibility through devices with Network Address Translation (NAT), such as your home router
IPv6 support - the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP) NOTE: This is for Windows only, since AmigaOS currently lacks IPv6 support. Should that change, then IPv6 will be enabled for AmigaOS as well

The next version will have automated SSL certificate generation capability. I'll let you know when it's done, which should hopefully be in a few weeks time..."

A single license of 'ZitaFTP Server' costs around 47 Euros. The program can be tested free of charge for 30 days. (dr)
