Emulator: PSPUAE 0.63 BE
PSPUAE is a conversion of the well-known Amiga emulator E-UAE for Sony's portable game console, PSP. Changes in version 0.63 BE:
- Removed alot of un-needed code, to gain usable memory (GnoStiC and cmf)
- Optimized code to gain speed (GnoStiC)
- Added alot of defines to gain speed (FOL and GnoStiC)
- Added define to allow 10.5MB of memory, not limited to 6MB anymore (FOL and cmf)
- Changed the delay and latency on sound to gain speed (FOL)
- Changed PSPUAE cpu cycle unit to 1, gave stable speed increase (FOL)
- Removed 0 from Auto Frame Skip, pointless as it slows emu down when hitting 0 (FOL)
- Removed Interpol code as it was broken since 0.60, removing this gave speed increase (GnoStiC)
- Fixed memory selection, now only valid amiga memory configs are selectable (cmf)
- Fixed Crash, where if no Backdrop was present PSPUAE would crash PSP (FOL and cmf)
- Fixed Interrupts setting in sound, as it was still produing sound (FOL and GnoStiC)
- Added AutoZoom check to PSPUAE reset command, so each reset will turn off AutoZoom. This stops the crash with certain configs, when AutoZoom was on. Simply Press and hold L & R Trigger and SELECT after reset to turn it back on (FOL)
- Removed support for E / X-Loader and Tiff exploits as it was causing crash in Custom Firmware's. A seperate E / X-loader tiff version is released seperately (FOL)

RandomWBPatt: Error correction
Roland 'RhoSigma' Heyder points out that in the current version 5.410 of his program RandomWBPatt, a runtime error ("Unexpected Runtime Error") can come by.
This error can be corrected by deleting the #?.done file(s) in the SYS:Prefs/Presets directory.
The background is a format change of these files compared with the previous version. The author apologizes for having neglected to point this out in the documentation.
RandomWBPatt is a CLI program that changes the file entries in WBPattern.prefs in the ENV:sys directory at certain time intervals and thus prompts IPrefs to update the Workbench with the new pictures. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Movie Tron celebrates 25th anniversary
In 1982 Disney`s Tron started in the cinemas. The movie is about a programmer (played by Jeff Bridges) who gets "digitized" and finds himself inside a computer where he is forced to play the gladiatorial games he wrote.
Tron was something of a milestone for computer-generated imagery.
After 25 years Computerworld spoke with John Knoll, a visual effects supervisor at Industrial Light &
Magic. Knoll served as visual effects supervisor for such films as Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek: First Contact and Mission: Impossible.
The racing game which got famous from the film is available as Open-Source for
several platforms as GLtron. (nba) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: DiskLED.docky 52.3
DiskLED.docky written by Jörg Strohmayer displays the activity of up to 12 drives and is supposed to be a replacement for the real HD-led (e.g. if there are more controlers than LEDs or if the LEDs are hidden).
Changes since version 52.1:
- 52.3: Added support for SERIAL and PARALLEL devices, the colours are now:
- trackdisk: green = read, red = write
- sana2: yellow
- serial: blue
- parallel: white
- 52.3: If less than 9 devices are monitored the displayed LEDs are centered.
- 52.2: No longer allows adding it twice to AmiDock which crashed.
- 52.2: Should now work with all PPC native TRACKDISK devices.
- 52.2: Added support for SANA2 devices, using a smaller delay for disabling
the LED and different colours (blue = read, yellow = write).
