`15.Jan.2024`	Apollo cards: File sharing tool "ApolloExplorer" v1.1.2 ApolloExplorer is a simple file exchange programme that can be used to transfer files from a PC to an Amiga running an Apollo card and vice versa over the network. A server software runs in the background on the Amiga and allows a client running on a PC with Windows, Linux or MacOS to connect to the Amiga and browse the local hard drives. Changes in version 1.1.2: Hopefully the Amiga server shouldn't crash anymore on any machines. Please let me know if it does for you. The annoying bug on MacOS where the folder contents (not the folder) were copied when dragging a folder is fixed. Finally! Fixes for the blinking drive icons The browser window should remember the user's selection of list or icon mode (dr) [News message: 15.

`14.Jan.2024`	Amiga emulator: Amiberry 5.6.6 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. Changes in version 5.6.6: Bugfixes WHDBooter would default to 020 CPU in cases it should use 68000 WHDBooter should detect AGA/CD32 games and use 020 CPU for them don't exclude the fps counter calculation switch back to normal vsync Revert timing changes, as some users reported problems don't keep native window size when opening an RTG screen Fix zero length disk dma not finishing when dsksync is detected. Do not generate Fat Gary delay/exception if Z2/Z3 board unmapped space access. floppy sounds did not load on macOS fix floppy sounds dir name should be lowercase on macOS as well dlopen was broken on macOS after previous changes changing the value of capture_always on the fly didn't work don't enable RTG hardware sprite by default Improvements Updated WHDLoad to latest version remember window position and size merge recent updates from preview improve DrawBridge functionality merge statusline updates from preview implemented multithreaded RTG rendering fix background color for main window selectors allow higher V.Offset values allow more values in joy-mouse settings Do not force key release if mouse capture was requested but mouse was already captured.

`14.Jan.2024` Michal Schulz (Mail)	Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 v1.0 Release Candidate 3 Developer Michal Schulz has released Release Candidate 3 of version 1.0 of his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture, focusing on the PiStorm and PiStorm32lite (amiga-news.de reported). Emu68 1.0 Release Candidate 3 is the last release candidate before final version 1.0. It includes all fixes from RC1 and RC2. Additionally it contains several changes and fixes improving performance of old games and demos: BlitWait The BlitWait option allows the user to force Emu68 to do more fine-grained waits before writting several blitter-sensitive registers. Normally, the software which is using blitter should wait until it completed the operation, but in some cases the demo coders assumed that m68k is slow enough to not waist time for waiting. Such games and/or demos require the blitwait option activated either through cmdline.txt or with help of EmuControl to operate properly. Ability to add EmuControl parameters to Emu68 globally With this release user can pass the EmuControl command line options, like e.g. DBF ICNT=1 CCRD=0 directly to cmdline.txt file and thus making them global. This, in combination with eventually disabled CPU caches, allows one to run demos like the "State of the Art" directly from floppy, without WHDLoad. RGB to HDMI Passthrough This feature requires small external hardware (work in Progress or A500, A600, A1200, A2000) which sends the digital RGB data through the camera interface to raspberry directly. IN combination with new unicam.resource (embedded in kernel) and new VideoCore/Emu68-VC4 driver (available in new nightly build of Emu68-tools) this allows to display the RGB signal from Amiga on the HDMI. The unicam.resource allows one to enable this feature on boot already, new VideoCore driver allows one to easily switch between RGB and RTG modes on the same screen. The developer provides more detailed information on the changes in his new Patreon post. (dr) [News message: 14. Jan. 2024, 07:10] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`12.Jan.2024`	Datatype for WebP: WarpWebP.datatype 45.5 Oliver Roberts has updated his WarpWebP.datatype for viewing the WebP image format to version 45.5. The datatype is based on Google's libwebp 1.3.2. Versions for AmigaOS 3/4, WarpOS and MorphOS are available, a graphic card is not required. Changes: Updated with libwebp 1.3.2. Decoding of lossless images on 68k is now 30% faster. Various minor optimisations. Removed some redundant code. (dr) [News message: 12.
