Module player: NostalgicPlayer 2.2.0 for Windows
NostalgicPlayer is a program for playing Amiga music modules under Windows, based on APlayer. The development of the player had been started by the author Thomas Neumann in 1993 on the Amiga, later continued on BeOS and now on Windows (amiga-news.de reported). Changes of version 2.2.0:
  • Updated to .NET 8.
  • Can now show sample information from TFMX modules. Because the TFMX format does not have a sample list structure like other module formats, it is hard to find out how many and where the samples are stored. Therefore sometimes you will see that a sample may be splitted into several samples or other small glitches.
  • SidPlay will now show the right number of channels used to play the module in Module Information window. Normally, this will be 3, but for multiple SID chips module, it will be higher.
  • Oktalyzer player will now convert 7-bit samples to 8-bit when loading a module.
  • Will now be able to start playing on systems which has more than 2 speakers setup. Thanks to Raph99-Thanys and 7zxkv for reporting this.
  • Removed the latency option again from the CoreAudio agent. It is now hardcoded to 200 ms, since it gave problems when it was too low when playing e.g. SidPlay modules.
  • The sample visualizers now show the whole buffer and not only the last 20 ms.
  • Now the module information updating also uses the mixer latency settings.
  • The module information window will not switch tab back to the default one anymore, when changing sub-song.
  • Added close button in message boxes.
  • It's now possible to press the F1 key in any window to open the relevant help page.
  • When you press the next module button, the end of module list settings will be used to find out what to do.
  • Updated mpg123 to version 1.32.4.
  • Updated SharpCompress to version 0.35.0.
  • Updated Krypton.Toolkit and Krypton.Navigator to version 80.23.11.321.
  • Updated libsidplayfp to version 2.6.0.
  • Renamed Atari Octalyser to just Octalyser.
  • Moved MultiTracker, FastTracker, Mod's Grave, Digital Tracker MOD and Octalyser formats from ModPlayer to Xmp.
  • Added new TakeTracker format, since LibXmp can detect the difference between FastTracker and TakeTracker.
  • Added Scream Tracker 3 MOD, OpenMPT MOD and FlexTrax formats.
An installation package can be found on Microsoft Store. (dr)

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
