- RTG monitor (if multiple monitors) selection added to GUI.
- RTG hardware sprite and hardware vblank emulation are now optional.
- Chipset "Wait for Blitter" too fast CPU workaround added, enabled by default, fixes most graphics
glitches if program does not wait for the blitter, more compatible than immediate blitter.
- Optional fake 1G directory harddrive size limit for old programs that think drive is full or has
negative space if drive is bigger than 2G. Can be changed on the fly.

- Chipset emulation improvements. (EyeQlazer/Scoopex, Blerkenwiegel/Scoopex, No Way Demo/Academy,
Brian the Lion AGA, SuperPlus monitor mode)
- Sometimes appearing Windows "no disk in drive" dialogs that point to missing harddrive path are gone.
- Audio emulation quality improved.
- Parallel port sampler emulation audio quality improved.
- Lots of Input panel improvements. (qualifiers, custom events etc)
- Easy to use debug logging option added.
- Game Ports panel Test mode can be used to test any kind of input event, not just joystick events.

USB-board: Design of "Thylacine" released, possibly reissue as construction kit
Thylacine USB is a low-cost USB-controller which was introduced 2002 and on a "full length" Zorro 2 plugin-card hosts an USB 1.1-port. The developers have released all information which are necessary for the production of a reissue by third persons.
For the Thylacine USB there is a Poseidon-driver which works together with version 4.4 of USB-Stacks which is available for free. A possible reisue of the hardware as a construction kit is currently discussed (German) on a1k.org.
Already 10 years ago there were reports which gave the impression that the Thylacine only works with selected USB-hardware without any problems. On a1k.org (all in German) Poseidon author Chris "Platon42" Hodges, Michael Boehmer from E3B and Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers) warn of the quality of the used USB-chip (SL811) as well as of the Poseidon driver.
It must be said that all three critics might not be completely objective: Jens Schönfeld obviously has plans for an USB-hardware and Boehmer/Hodges are going to publish a reissue of the Subway: According to them a third person apparently has licenced the design of the clockport-extension of E3B and the Poseidon-drivers of Hodges and thus avoided the problems.
Actually the Subway now is available in the Vesalia-shop again but currently with indefinite date of delivery.

Accelerator board: ACA-620 available (Update)
The accelerator board ACA-620 produced by Individual Computers (amiga-news.de reported) now is available in different Amiga stores.
The board is equipped with a 16,67 MHz clocked MC68EC020-processor as well as 9+1 MB virtual memory. 9 MB can be generally used and 1MB is used for the MapROM-function. This means the Kickstart-ROM is executed from the 32-bit-memory which increases the speed.
Update: (20:30, 10.10.12, snx)
As Jens Schönfeld mentions at a1k.org, an additional part of the 16 MB RAM actually present on-board can be utilized using the ACAtune tool. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Event: Photos and videos of Saku 2012
At the title link photos and videos of the Saku 2012 have been published. The Finnish Amiga User Group comment: "The event was held on September 29th in Oulu, the northern Amiga capital of Finland. The event was a success with around 70 visitors, which was achieved with proper advertisement and also promotion in other public events.
For example, we were asked to arrange some retro gaming at Oulu Arts' Night earlier this year and we got around 200 interested nostalgia gamers there. Amiga is not forgotten! Maybe we just should participate in more mainstream events to get people interested in our specific events as well.
Saku 2012 featured thirteen Amiga compatible and three Commodore 64 computers, four video projectors, several sales tables, game and programming competitions with prizes, demo and video shows and a very enthusiastic atmosphere.
Next year we aim higher with the Saku 2013 event. It will be held in southern Finland where the potential of reaching the masses is a lot higher. It will also be our 20th anniversary event. Be ready for it!
About Finnish Amiga Users Group:
Finnish Amiga Users Group (officially Suomen Amiga-käyttäjät ry) is a registered, non-profit organization dedicated to helping Finnish Amiga computer users by preserving and advancing the Amiga hobby and knowledge of the Amiga computing platform in Finland. The group aims to reach its goals through volunteer efforts such as maintaining a web site and discussion forum and organizing events. (snx)

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 17.1
With WHDLoad you can install games, scene demos and intros on your harddrive which originally could only be used from disks. Additionally several incompatibilities with new Amiga models were fixed.
Today the final version 17.1 has been released. Additionally since our last message with Antideluvian Sloppy Spectacle (Essence), created by BlackWine (info, image) a new package was uploaded.
Changes in version 17.1:
- Fix: Formatting of termination reason string in register dump fixed on very long texts (Psygore)
- Fix: If the vbr is moved by WHDLoad the interrupts of levels 4-6 (vectors $70..$78) are directly forwarded to the installed program now, in previous releases all the sanity checks and checks for the keyboard were done in each interrupt which has increased the latency and duration of the interrupts, now these checks are only performed in interrupt levels 1-3 or if the option CheckInts/S is used for all levels it seems that the increased amount of code put into the interrupts by the later WHDLoad versions has caused problems with several games, this is hopefully fixed now and these games will work with the current WHDLoad as good as with versions 16.8 or 16.9
- Fix: On a 68020 the default cache setup was instruction cache enable, this bug has been introduced in version 17.0, now the default is again disabled (Toni Wilen)
- Chg: The icon started from is only written if any gadget has been pressed, previously it were written everytime if Config or Expert was active (Graham)
- Fix: Prevented a bug when FileLog/S will be disabled via the splash window
- New: Resload_DiskLoad can now dump all read files, see autodoc
- New: SnoopOCS/ECS/AGA/S checks also that writes to custom.aud*ptr are not outside BaseMem and are not equal zero, check is only performed on 68060 (Psygore)
- Chg: WHDLoad now detects a filesize difference between the directory scan used for resload_Examine/ExNext requested by WHDLF_Examine and the file PreLoad, this may reveal filesystem problems in conjunction with dos.ExAll, e.g. ffs 39.x (issue #2575)
- Chg: Documentation regarding patch lists in include and autodoc files improved
- Fix: On chip memory only machines with Kickstart 3.0 or better slaves with WHDLF_Examine failed on building the directory cache due problems with exec.CreatePool (Psygore)

Breakout game: BabeAnoid 2.5b1
Richard Fhager's Breakout game BabeAnoid was written in AMOS and released ten years ago. In 2003 version 2.0 was released. The next version 2.5 was never released because the author stopped developing Amiga software.
Upon request of an a1k.org-reader Fhager has provided a download link for a beta version BabeAnoid 2.5. This beta version is being not developed further and according to the author possibly has included "some special modes". BabeAnoid requires a 68020 as well as 2 MB RAM. It could be also played with computers with only 1 MB Chip-RAM if some preferences are set to a lower level.

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.73 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is an Amiga game launcher with 128 colors on screen (even on a simple A500). This frontend autoscans the harddisk to find WHDLoad games or .exe files and and organizes them into launching listings. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI feature.
Version 0.73 is a bugfix release:
- Fixed the display speed problem on little cpu (68000/68010) in the menu
- Fixed the display speed problems on high end cpu (68040/68060) in the menu and the launcher
- Fixed a bad multitasking management when launching an .exe file

AROS: Distribution AspireOS 1.95
Nikolaos Tomatsidis released a new version of his AROS distribution AspireOS. It is made for the Acer netbook Aspire One, but does also fully support the Toshiba notebook Satellite Pro A200; also on other hardware the distribution should run, but this is untested.
Changes include a Wifi scanning tool, the editor Annotate, an AmigaOS 3.1 theme, new wallpapers, an optimisation of the boing icon bar and a bugfix for downloading Youtube videos. This time there is no update option for existing systems available, though, instead a fresh installation of version 1.95 is recommended. (snx)

Multi-purpose tool: Jack 3.2.5
Jack is a multi-purpose utility for all Amiga systems. Besides basic file operations Jack features image editing, saving screenshots, a music player, AppStore functions, weather forecast, currency conversion and a diary with connection to the Google diary.
Changes in version 3.2.5:
- AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5's introduction of asynchronously loading the TCP/IP at Workbench startup exposed a new bug in Jack. The DELAY tooltype was previously being ignored, this has now been fixed. If you still see an error message if starting Jack this way simply increase the value of the DELAY tooltype. Value is no. of seconds
- Python ITC Extractor has been updated to version 0.3.2 which adds support for Apple's use of ARGB images in album cover artwork. Thanks to Simon Kennedy
- Moved php scripts to another server, older versions of Jack will continue to run for a limited time only

Amiga Inc.: Bill McEwen's name spotted at BlackBerry live demo
After the official Amiga Inc. press release on availability of classic Amiga games for the BlackBerry tablet PlayBook and the upcoming smartphone BlackBerry 10 (amiga-news.de reported), a video of this cell phone's live presentation has been discovered which supports the claim of a business relationship.
At the title link, Bill McEwen's name has been spotted as a contact person on the phone. Although the corresponding photo does not depict the longtime CEO - allegedly it is the junior -, the entry is titled "Amiga". At minute 4:41 a virtual customer meeting can be seen and at minute 6:16 there are OSNews articles about Amiga from June/July. (snx)

MorphOS: Sudominator 1.1 and U1Synth 1.2
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has updated two of his programs - the Sudoku solver Sudominator and the software synthesizer U1Synth. Both can be also installed by Grunch now.
Sudominator had some problem with new MUI 4 transparency effect for disabled gadgets. This effect has been unnecessarily applied to the sudoku field when live solver was running, so the whole thing was unreadable. U1Synth has got an octave switch, a first small step towards changing it from a toy to a simple, yet usable synthesizer. (snx)

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.72 (beta version)
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interface with 128 colours which is meant for starting WHDLoad-games (.slave, .exe).
In version 0.72 a bug was fixed. Additionally now by pressing the DELETE-key it is possible to prevent X-bEnCH to be loaded and instead to start the Workbench.

AmigaOS 4: Dragon-/Tandy-Emulator XRoar 0.28.1
XRoar ported by Ventzislav Tzvetkov emulates the 8-Bit-systems Dragon and Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer. A minimal firmware is included in the archive but for the real compatibility the ROM-image of the emulated computers is required.
Changes since our last message:
- CPU timing fix
- Temporary fix for French keyboard: superscript 2 mapped to Clear
- Fix emulation of Dragon 32 with 64K
- New keyboard map: Canadian French [Pierre Sarrazin]
- CPU core optimisations
- VDG palette tweaks
- Allow user to specify rom lists with -romlist, and inspect the currently
defined lists with -romlist-print
- Similarly, allow user to specify ROM CRC32s that are equivalent with
-crclist, printing current list with -crclist-print
- Use ROM CRCs to determine which breakpoints are effective
- Force CRC matching (breakpoints only based on arch) with -force-crc-match
- Add -tape-write option to specify an output tape file on the command line
- Add -type option to type a string into BASIC
- Permit incomplete last tracks in JVC disk images
- Removed GP32 and NDS support from main tree
- Remove obsolete GTK+ version 1 file requester
- Test for and use GLib list and hash functions if available
- Data bus state updated during NVMA (fixes Manic Miner protection)
- -tape-pad-auto leader thresholds updated
- CPU fixes: verified flags set/cleared in SEX and DAA instructions
- Tape fixes: various usability fixes
- VDK files: fill in header bytes more completely when writing
- SAM-VDG interaction fix - 48 byte-per-line mode now works
- More resilient fast tape loading
