Report: The AmigaOne XE, third part (Czech)
In the first part, Martina Hřebcová had devoted herself to the AmigaOne XE in its entirety and subjected it to various tests. The second part dealt in detail with the use of various graphics cards and prepared test results and correlations.
The now available third part (machine translation) is a loose continuation of the two previous parts and deals with hardware interrupts in the AmigaOne XE. It is on the one hand an essay about the theoretical basics, on the other hand a tutorial how to correct a faulty U-Boot PCI initialization so that PCI cards can be used correctly using a PCI-to-PCI(e) bridge.

Demoparty: "Zenta" (27. - 30.12) in Bingen am Rhein, Germany
Traditionally, a demo party is held in Germany between Christmas and New Year: Initially named "TuM", later "Under Construction". This year there is a special edition with the "Zenta" from 27 to 30.12, because for this the old "Palazzo" building in Bingen am Rheim, which was one of the most famous techno clubs in Germany in the 90s, could be rented, before it will be converted into a hotel next year (PC invitation demo as YouTube video).
The house has two floors: the lower part will be the hard action with laser shows. The upper part will be the Zen area, where there will be chill-out music, cozy corners and a relaxed atmosphere. The Amiga will be represented by 'RufUsul' from the demo group Abyss, among others. There will also be various competitions, where all platforms are allowed. (dr)

Kickstarter campaign: Checkmate 19" IPS Retro Monitor
Already in April this year (reported) Stephen Jones announced a Kickstarter campaign to finance monitors for retrocomputers. This was now started two days ago (detailed YouTube video) and of the targeted 240,171 Euros, already a quarter, about 67,000 Euros have been reached.
For around 310 euros, you buy a Checkmate 19" IPS Retro Monitor, where the panel is not included in the price. Jones explains this by saying that part of the budget taken allows the search for two other panel options: in addition to the standard panel (priced), a less expensive variant and the "Unicorn" panel, with all the features imaginable.
With the Kickstarter contribution, the backer thus receives the following:
- Monitor chassis (excluding the display panel)
- panel controller electronics including remote control and cabling
- Stereo 3" speakers and cables
- External power supply
- Strong packaging for shipping
In a second step, once the ordering system and panel options are ready, people will be contacted in April/May 2023 and they will be able to choose one of the three possible panel types and any extras they want to pay for (plus shipping costs and local taxes, if applicable).
Panel options:
- A lower cost but still good quality panel
- Default panel as shown in these videos (ca. 145 Euro)
- A higher specification panel aimed at low latency, and if possible, a higher quality display

Action game: Chaos Arena released
"Last Minute Creations" is a Polish group of Amiga game developers and has now released their third game after "GermZ" and "'Atarenium Falcon" (amiga-news.de reported): "Chaos Arena".
The goal of the game is to push opponents out of the arena by attacking them. The whole thing is made more difficult by the fact that all players look the same, so you first have to find out who you are. In addition, the arena is constantly shrinking. Features of the game:
- Chaotic and fierceful duel between 12 warriors
- Simultaneous 6-player versus mode
- 3 chaotic arenas
- You've lost too early? Strike remaining players with thunders!
An Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.3, 512KB CHIP-RAM and 512KB RAM is required. (dr)

Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 driver development for Compute Module 4 finished
At the end of October, we reported that developer Michal Schulz was going to make all the necessary improvements and fixes to Emu68 and the low-level drivers needed to make them work properly with Compute Module 4. As he now reports in his latest Patreon blog entry, the work is considered almost complete.
Furthermore an own adapter board is in work. There will be a version for Amiga 500/600 and one for PiStorm32-lite. The first will be smaller and simpler, the second will have more hardware on board, maybe even an NVMe port. (dr)

Emulator: vAmigaWeb v2.2 beta1
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator for MacOS vAmiga. At the end of September, the version vAmigaWeb v3.0 beta1 was released, which had the MMU integration within the planned 68030 CPU as a goal. Since the 68030 hardware available in the development team turned out to be unsuitable, the MMU project was put on hold for the time being.
In the now available version 2.2 beta 1, support for the Amiga three-button controller can be selected in the settings. Also, the emulator now has 20% to 40% more efficiency, however the minimum browser requirements have also increased: they are now Chrome V95, Firefox V100 and Safari V15.2.10. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: FTP client AmiFTP 1.953
At the beginning of 2010, for the last time amiga-news.de reported on the FTP client AmiFTP. Ten years later, Matthias 'djBase' Münch (maintainer of Amigaworld) started a discussion about the further development of the client on OS4Welt. A source code was found but not of the OS4 version. After requesting, Frank Menzel (Entwickler-X) agreed to examine the source code.
After testing, first changes were made and adapted to AmigaOS 4 and compiler, bugs were removed and new small functions were added. After a longer break, the first version was released on Github in August 2022. An important step to preserve the source code and to motivate other developers to contribute to the project (e.g. SSL support).
Javier de las Rivas has made many improvements and bug fixes since the release of the source code, which have been reviewed and put into a public main branch by Frank Menzel. This makes version 1.953 available to AmigaOS4 users and hopefully a start for further development on AmiFTP. Changes:
Adaptions for first AmigaOS 4 version (Frank Menzel)
- Update project to be able to compile with GCC
- Switch GUI from ClassAct to Reaction
- Toolbar uses AISS Icon Set
- Switch from Reqtools to OS4 Requester
- Adapt AmiTCP Network Hook to work with Roadshow
- Remove obsolete DOS functions
- AmiFTP now works with files larger than 4GB
- Bugfixes
Further enhancements and improvements (Javier de las Rivas)
- Speedbar can be changed to TEXT/IMAGES/BOTH
- "Cleaned" some of the GUI's ReAction code.
- Added missing speedbar buttons localized strings.
- Changed to use menuclass.
- Fixed disconnect button image when changing speedbar type (IMAGE|TEXT|BOTH).
- SelectFont() not needed (commented).
- Added 'UpdatedSpeedBar' to "fix" refresh speedbar when changing from prefs or from start (just "hide" it, not removed/freed).
- Localized rename requester.
- Fixed makefile to use "modified" FlexCat templates (C_c_amiftp.sd & C_h_amiftp.sd).
- Reworked some requesters and localization strings.
- UploadFile() was using fullpath+filename, thus creating (unwanted) dirs.
- Added notification support after upload/download.

Experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000: Apollo
Dietmar Planitzers unfortunately named "Apollo" project is an experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000. It is incompatible to existing systems, but tries to implement modern concepts on the Commodore computer - the author mentions
a process management built around dispatch queues similar to Apple's Grand Central Dispatch as one example.
Interested users need to compile Apollo themselves, the project is being developed on MacOS using the integrated development environment Xcode. Currently the only software available is a bunch of unit tests - which have to be invoked manually, since there's no automated unit testing framework yet. (cg)

Accelerator board projekt: Buffee developer on the advantages of PJIT
In her blog Renee Cousins, one of the two developers of the turbo card project "Buffee" (amiga-news.de reported), reports about theoretical and practical basics of the project. In two previous blog entries she had compared her emulation solution of the 68k processor under ARM microprocessors, Pseudo-JIT (PJIT), with solutions like Emu68 or UAE (part 1, part 2). In the now published third part of the series, she explains why she thinks PJIT is better than either of the other two strategies.
Also, she writes, the programming of the board is the biggest headache, with a couple of beta boards already destroyed in the process. They are still trying to figure out the timing with the CIA chips (e.g., the talking 6800), but right now ROM and the custom registers are working fine. She could not test the chip RAM because the ROM was blocking access. (dr)

Metacompiler: Portabl E r6a
Christopher Handley's metacompiler "Portabl E" works by translating your code written with the programming language Amiga E into C++, and then using GCC to compile it into an executable. This needs an installation of GCC. This update fixes some bugs of version r6, released a few days ago (amiga-news.de reported). Changes:
- BUG: AmigaOS4: Fixed the 'std/cGui' module failing to compile (MUIA_Dtpic_Name not declared), due to the SDK not using MUI4+ by default.
- BUG: Linux: Fixed 32-bit hex values > $7FFFFFFF not being interpreted as negative by the type checker.
- BUG: AROS: Fixed Install_AROS not offering to install the extra C header files (although they're not really needed).

Kung Fu action: "Devil's Temple" V3.5
About three weeks ago, Geezer Games had released "Devil's Temple (amiga-news.de reported). By releasing another update, the following bugs were fixed:
- When using the ADF's, Level 9 now loads, Stage 10 files moved to disk 2 to fix. I'm amazed nobody picked this up sooner and just shows floppies/adfs are not in fashion.
- End of game bug fixed where the game would not end if the player moves immediately right when X appears. Fixed by spawning Lena before X, now Lena will always be in the chair.

Do it yourself: Drivers for clockport/Raspberry Pi interface
At the end of June Niklas Ekström had provided the information for the reconstruction of an interface with which a communication between Amiga and Raspberry Pi via the clockport is possible (amiga-news.de reported). The goal is to be able to run services like the filesystem a314fs which allows access to directories of the Raspbery Pi and the SANA-II network driver over it.
After he published the source files of the necessary software adaptations a month ago, the pre-compiled Amiga files followed yesterday. (dr)

Do it yourself: Sound card Prelude replica (Update)
The Zorro II sound card Prelude supported recording and playing in full-duplex mode at a resolution of 16 bit and a frequency of upto 64 kHz. Those who are interested in building a replica themselves can find a corresponding project - inluding the expansion module MPEGit - at the title link.
Update: (14.11.22, 08:00, snx)
The GitHub repository has been removed meanwhile. As the developer of the replica, Alexander Engelhardt, told us, it had been just a backup, while by himself his work has been just released at a1k.org so far. The reason is that he would like to wait for possible bug reports first, an official release will follow. (snx)

Distributed.net: OGR-28 completed, Distributed Amiga in second place
Around the turn of the millennium, various initiatives were started to make unused computing time available for projects, which also led to the formation of teams in the Amiga area that competed with others - be it against other operating systems or among each other (amiga-news.de reported).
With OGR, for example, the task is to search for an optimal Golomb ruler. More than eight years after finding the 27th-order one, when the Distributed Amiga team came in third, the optimal 28th-order Golomb ruler has now been found: The Distributed Amiga team even achieved second place this time, the MorphOS team twelfth.

WHDLoad: Graphical user-interface iGame 2.2.0
iGame is a MUI-based frontend for starting WHDLoad games (amiga-news.de reported). Recently George 'walkero' Sokianos (editor 'Lite XL' or MediaVault) has released version 2.2.0 for AmigaOS 2.04 and higher, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, providing the following changes:
- Added
- Added automatic release to Aminet and OS4Depot through the CI/CD whenever a new release tag is created at the repo
- Changed
- Removed completely the Tooltypes. Now iGame defaults to the optimal settings and uses only the settings file to change its behaviour.
- Now if the file "envarc:igame.prefs" exists then this is used by iGame, instead of the one that exists at the PROGDIR:. This way multiple iGame instances will have common settings.
- Introducing semantic versioning. No beta versions any more. Now the versions will have three digits based on MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH pattern. More info at https://semver.org/

RastPort: KA02 - Improved version of external PCMCIA adapter
Grzegorz Kraszewski's RastPort designs and manufactures accesories and expansions for Amiga computers. At the end of 2018, he had presented his project "KA02": a PCMCIA adapter for the Amiga 1200 in a standard desktop case. With the adapter, the PCMCIA card is placed vertically on the side of the Amiga and thus takes up much less space on the desk. Now he has published on Twitter a first photo of a variant that has an improved plug-in part. Inserting it into the slot is much easier that way, he says. (dr)

Metacompiler: Portabl E r6
Christopher Handley's metacompiler "Portabl E" - now written with spaces - works by translating your code written with the programming language Amiga E into C++, and then using GCC to compile it into an executable. This needs an installation of GCC. Please read his official press release:
Portabl E is my recreation of the AmigaE programming language, along with most of the improvements I have wanted. Portabl E works on AmigaOS4, AROS, MorphOS, as well as even Linux & Windows! (It should also work on AmigaOS3, but compiling needs a powerful machine like WinUAE.)
This is the finished r6 release, with the "beta" tag removed (amiga-news.de reported), although it hasn't really been beta since the last couple of release.
See the main manual for what has changed since r5. The biggest changes since the last r6 beta release include:
- Added basic Linux support (64bit x86 only), to the same level as Windows, i.e. Shell-only, with no graphics or internet access. This was a major effort, partly due to all the differences (64-bit pointers, case-sensitive filing system, mount-points anywhere, etc), and partly due to all the C headers that needed to be converted.
- Linux: PEGCC now supports cross-compilation (for Amiga & Windows) using the TargetOS parameter, as long as an appropriate GCC cross-compiler is installed.
- Programs will now compile using the latest SDK of AmigaOS4, AROS and MorphOS.
- All OS procedures that can support unlimited parameters now do so, including the Amiga's SystemTags().
- AmigaOS3: No-longer needs a modified "intuition/classusr.h" file.
- Added the 'std/pUnsigned' module, to provide basic support for unsigned number types, and the example program "Examples/std/Shell/crc32.e". Useful for porting certain C algorithms.
- Added the procedures InStrNoCase(), BigMax(), BigMin(), BigFastMod(), IsBigEndian() & IsLittleEndian().
- In 'std/pTime', improved CurrentTime() to take a timezone parameter.
- Fixed FastNew() (and so NEW) which would trash memory, instead of raising the "MEM" exception, if it failed to allocate memory. Thanks to Dimitris Panokostas for reporting symptoms of this long-standing bug, especially as I don't see out-of-memory errors on the OSes I normally use.
- Amiga: The installer would fail at "Copying executables..." if the user-specified path for executables did not contain any (sub) folders, such as "C:" (which sadly was the default). Many thanks to "Zendarion" for the bug report.
- Windows: In 'std/pTime', CurrentTime() now returns the correct time when DST is in effect.
- I've renamed the language from "PortablE" to "Portabl E" with a space, in the hope of making it more easily searchable on the internet (as well as clarifying how to pronounce it). But the "PortablE" command name itself is unchanged.
The new version can be downloaded under the title link or via OS4Depot. (dr)

Preview video: Amiga port of "Cecconoid"
Earlier this year, musician, DJ and developer 'Hoffman' had released the vertical-scrolling shooter Knightmare, originally written for the MSX and published by Konami, as an Amiga port (amiga-news.de reported). His new project is the port of the game "Cecconoid", originally released by "Triple Eh?": "an 8-bit inspired, flick-screen, twin-stick-shooter, set in an alternate dimension where the pixels are still chunky, and the bad guys are black and white." A Twitch recording now gives an impression of the game. As the author tells us when asked, about 85% of the game is finished. First and foremost, an integrated sub game "Eugatron" and the game's soundtrack are still missing. (dr)

Video interview: Jens Schönfeld talked about acceletator board projects
At this year's AmiWest among other things an interview between Bill Borsari and Jens Schönfeld was planned, which couldn't take place due to technical difficulties. This has now been made up for via Jitsi and published on YouTube. The two mainly talked about the ACA1240/1260 turbo cards first announced by Individual Computers at the end of December 2018, of which the first pictures of the cooling system were shown a year later.
As Schoenfeld reports, 18 boards of the fifth prototype "release candidate" status of the ACA1240 have currently been built and are now undergoing various tests again. This version has 256MB SD-RAM and does not need a separate power supply, but is designed to work with the standard power supply of the A1200. Schoenfeld explained that despite the higher clock speed, DDR memory would bring more disadvantages than advantages for this processor, and the apparently slower SD-RAM would have noticeable advantages that would make a 68040-40 faster in some (albeit few) disciplines than a 68060-50 on a 1990s board.
The fan would be barely audible due to the generously sized heatsink and temperature control. One thing would still have to be checked before serial production could start: the correct functionality of the MicroSD card slot.
His announcement at Amiga37 that the delivery could be done by Christmas seems unlikely at the moment, because the responsible employee was sick first and now has to take care of family matters. However, he hopes to be able to start production this year. The price for the smallest version with a 68040/25MHz CPU should be around 500 Euros. Versions with other CPUs may greatly increase the price. The capacity of the FPGA has been chosen so that there is room for future extensions. The circuit has already been checked so far that access to all signals is possible, which are necessary for planned (but not yet publicly known) extensions. The technology is similar to the Flickerfixer products from iComp: New features can be easily added via software update. Among other things, this was the reason why there were so many different prototypes: The interface for communication with the Amiga 1200 was completely new developed and contains a "quite sophisticated logic". So even theoretical maximum values (seven megabytes per second) can be reached when accessing the Chip RAM, independent of the processor's speed.
There would likewise be considerations to develop a dedicated graphics card that fits equally for different processors on the ACA1240/1260. Only a "proof of concept" circuit exists here so far, which has confirmed the stability of the memory while using the "fast GFX" port. When asked by Bill Borsari, Schönfeld confirmed that the specifications for this port can also be opened to other companies. Schönfeld spontaneously mentioned the name Lukas Hartmann, owner of the company mntmn, known for the graphics card ZZ9000.
Schönfeld described the ACA1240/1260 as "hackable" when asked because it is always equipped with a socket for the processor. However, a sale without a processor is not planned for warranty reasons. He advises customers who want to use their own 68060 processor to buy the cheapest version with 68040/25MHz.
Finally, he showed a very early prototype of the ACA600: This should fit into the case of the Amiga 600 including connected Amiga1200 turbo card and floppy drive. It should be developed as inexpensive as possible (50-60 Euro) and bring 8 MB RAM. Two use cases are planned:
- the usage with ACA12xx acceletator board to build a very powerful ECS Amiga
- the usage as ROM/RAM extension without an A1200 turbo card
The motivation for this new board is that the A600 is not fully A500 compatible and changes to the memory layout and Kickstart version are necessary to run certain (mostly older) A500 titles on the A600. Not only different Kickstart versions are included in the flash of the ACA600, but also other software. Schönfeld mentions the software equipment of the ACA1234, which brings the essential tools for the data transfer between other computers and the Amiga, as a comparison. According to Schönfeld, this has already had a lot of positive feedback from customers. The feature set of the ACA500plus should not be replicated with the ACA600, because many features of the ACA500plus are already included in the A600: The computer can boot from the internal IDE port, for which a CF card adapter is available. The PCMCIA slot can be equipped with another CF card adapter, for which the ACA600 only comes with the drivers, which can be used without further installation. According to Schönfeld, this also works if the floppy drive is defective and there is no other way to exchange data with other computers. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Porting WebKit started
According to George 'walkero' Sokianos in his recent Ko-Fi blog entry, he has frozen most of his projects to devote himself entirely to porting WebKit to AmigaOS 4. The goal, he said, is to provide WebKit as a dynamic or static library that can be used in any kind of application such as a new web browser or email client.
Since this involves a mountain of tasks that is almost impossible to keep track of, he has gathered a small team around him and divided the tasks into small intermediate steps.
The starting point was the WebKitty port used by the Wayfarer browser under MorphOS, which was created by Jacek Piszczek, because in his opinion MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 are very similar as operating systems. He has created a fork of WebKitty and set up a project so that everyone can take a look at the progress and status of the port. They are also using the repository's wiki pages to document as much as possible.
He said he wants to work hard on this and see where it leads. If nothing tangible comes out of it, at least the efforts will be documented and someone else can continue the work at some point. (dr)

Dock: QDock V1.17
Sami Vehmaa had released the first version of his start bar "QDock" almost two weeks ago (amiga-news.de reported). The new version 1.17, as the developer writes to us, "has gone trough a big transformation and is now working more like it was intended." A new YouTube video explains the changes: among other things, there is now a second row with space for another 25 icons. Likewise, drives can be added to the dock.
The tool is available for three Euros or more and is primarily intended for emulators or Apollo cards due to the high CPU requirements. It requires AmigaOS 3.2 (3.1 might work as well, but not tested), graphics board and 22 MB RAM. (dr)

Video: Not even scammers want to support AmigaOS
Fraudsters who pretend to be Microsoft support on the phone, for example, in order to get computer users to download and run malware, are one of the unpleasant side effects of the internet age. As an Amiga user, however, you are excluded even from this nowadays, as the video at the title link documents. (snx)

Hollywood: 20th anniversary - XLSX plugin 1.0 released
Press release:On November 4th 2002, Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, released Hollywood 1.0 for 68k AmigaOS. Originally advertised as a multimedia authoring solution, nobody would have expected back then that this software would turn into a cross-platform programming language for lots of platforms with dozens of plugins for all kinds of tasks. Now, 20 years later, Hollywood is still going strong, receives regular updates and new plugins, and is used by many people around the globe. All of this would not have been possible without the continued support of many Hollywood enthusiasts in the past 20 years. Only the positive feedback we received right from the start made us continue developing Hollywood into what it is today.
As a little "thank you", we proudly present yet another plugin for Hollywood: XLSX. The XLSX plugin makes it possible to conveniently read and write XLSX documents from Hollywood scripts. It offers a wide variety of functions to set and get cell values, cell types, cell formulas, document/worksheet properties and several other attributes. It also offers an iterator function for a high performance iteration of a large number of cells.
On top of that, the XLSX plugin also supports the new serialization interface introduced in Hollywood 9 which means that scripts can conveniently serialize Hollywood tables to XLSX documents by just a single call to Hollywood's SerializeTable() function. In the same manner scripts can also deserialize whole XLSX documents into Hollywood tables by a single call to Hollywood's DeserializeTable() function. It just doesn't get any easier!
Of course, the XLSX plugin also comes with detailed documentation in various formats and integrates seamlessly in the Hollywood IDE, including live help. The XLSX plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to everybody for all the support in the past 20 years and here's to the next 20 years, cheers! (snx)

AROS: Further development of the emulator Janus-UAE 2
Blitter Studio, which is also responsible for the Amiga emulator Amiberry, has started to continue the development of the emulator Janus-UAE 2.
In contrast to version 1.x, which was based on Richard Drummond's emulator E-UAE V0.8.29 WIP4, is part of the AROS distribution Icaros Desktop, for example, and thus is based on the ABI-v0 developer branch, the original author Oliver Brunner had already started porting WinUAE 2 to AROS in 2011 with Janus-UAE 2, which uses the ABI-v1 branch. By the end of 2015, he had brought Janus-UAE 2 up to the level of WinUAE 3.2.0 and subsequently finished work on it.
The Amiberry developer 'MiDWaN' has now cloned the sources from SourceForge to a Github repository, including all his changes so far, among other things so that he has write permissions. His goal is to bring Janus-UAE 2 to the latest WinUAE and SDL 2 (instead of SDL 1). He also wants to add some features from Amiberry. (dr)

Music tip: Protracker track "much"
'no9' has been working in the audio section for years and also occasionally composes music for games. On his YouTube channel, he also publishes his own compositions from time to time, like the piece "much" most recently. He uses the ProTracker 2 clone for Windows by Olav Sorensen for this. As 'no9' writes, he would have tried to use the original Amiga for it, but the constant data exchange between Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and Amiga would have been very time consuming, as there would sometimes be a lot of copying back and forth for sample data. The Amiga Protracker compatibility was mandatory for him, though. (dr)
