AmigaOS 4: Warp3D plugin for Playstation emulator FPSE
As the next update of Mathias Roslund's FPSE port will take some more time the author released a Warp3D plugin for the existing version of the Playstation emulator.
The plugin works very well with some games (Colin McRae and Ridge Racer are mentioned as examples), other games are problematic or run even slower.

Linux: ColdFire plans for Debian-m68k
As the computer news site Symlink reported exist plans to port the Debian Linux variant for processors of the 680x0 family to the related successor architecture ColdFire to revive this Linux project.
At the time it's not decided wether a common port for both architectures is indeed possible but for now the barriers seem not to be insuperable. In addition Freescale promised for this project five Coldfire boards for testing purposes.

Linux: Updated AmigaOne-Kernel (2.4.26, 2.6.8-16)
On 8th January the PegXMac-developer
Entwickler David Bentham published the updated Linux-Kernel for the AmigaOne.
The adapted 2.4.26er Kernel
should now enable DMA for all AmigaOne-boards.
The eleventh version of the Kernel 2.6.8-16
works together with most of the drivers as moduls (z.B. printers, USB) and the
SILImage-nodul can be used again, too.
Besides this there is a new 3D-driver (agpgart) but which is only for tests.
The author asks for sending back the Log-files (dmesg and /var/log/messages) under
the title link.
Furthermore there are still problems to be solved so some Amigas may crash.

AmiBlitz2 added to Blitzbasic-Forum
After an opinion poll in the Blitzbasic forum of the Windows-, Linux- and Mac OS-users a new category for AmiBlitz2 was established today. With this action it is tried to build a bridge between the new Blitzbasic variants and the original.
It is the aim that the exchange between users of all four operating systems should create new impulses and the experience of the Amiga Blitzbasic community should be mixed with new ideas of the newer BlitzPlus-/Blitz3D- and BlitzMax-users. (snx) (Translation: ts)

MorphOS: DigiFilter 2.0
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released DigiFilter version
2.0 for MorphOS. It is a design tool for digital FIR filters
("finite impulse response".
Different to programs which are limited to typical low pass,
high pass, band pass and band stop frequency answers or are
encompassing a limited set of frequency points, DigiFilter
offers a graphic frequency response editor.
The program uses a window design technique with rectangle,
trirangle, "Blackman" and "Kaiser" windows. Thanks to high
otimization even very long filter (2048 sample points and
more) may be used real ime on G3 computers.
DigiFilter 2.0 requires the media stream library Reggae B by
the same author (amiga-news.de
reported).

More graphic designers wanted for the Shoot'em Up "Megalospirit"
"Megalospirit", a Shoot'em Up for Windows, Mac OS,
Linux, MorphOS and maybe AmigaOS 4, is under development
since 2003 (screen shots: 1, 2, 3, 4). The
game requires OpenGL and SDL and uses a screen resolution of
800x600 pixels. The engine runs under Windows, Mac OS
and Linux yet.
The current team, Jérôme "Polluxe" Davoine (code), Olivier
"Haploo" Gonneau (music) and Thierry "LorD" Philippe (gfx), is
looking for one or two more gfx dsigners who may design sprite
or (tile
based) landscapes. If you interested, you may contact the developers lord @ lordfpx . com. (cg) (Translation: ub)
