Emulator: PSPUAE 0.70
PSPUAE is a port of the well-known Amiga emulator E-UAE for Sony's portable game console PSP. Version 0.70 has an improved speed.
Changes:
- Added alot of Rics FAMEC code and optimisations. (Gave some speed increase)
- Altered Hsync handler. (Removes slow down when sprites on screen, with CPU = MAX)
- Altered CPU CYCLE UNIT to 256 (Gave the most speed increase)
- Altered CHIPSET settings (To fall inline with CPU CYCLE UNIT change, its now a much more finer setting than in previous versions. Giving better results)
- Added Rics FAMEC Sound code (Still clicks, we know what the problem is, but i need help to solve it)
- Added Interpolation 4CH Sound under sound menu (This can improve sound slighty)
- Altered HEAP SIZE for available memory to PSPUAE (This solves all memory problems)
- Added Rics FAMEC FrameSkip Algorithm (This gives a finer smoother Auto FrameSkip)

AmigaOS 4: Origyn Web Browser 1.13
Jörg Strohmayer has published an update of the Origyn Web Browser. Further components are now used as so called shared objects.
Changes:
- Fixed OWB bug 178 (fonts related endless loops) in the AmigaOS4 fonts implementation
- If loading a page failed the progress bar is set to 0 now
- Added tooltype DISABLEGIFANIMS, if it's set the anims are still played once since usually the last image is better than the first
- Added tooltype DISABLEJAVASCRIPT
- Using shared libcurl, libssl, libxml2, libxslt and libz now, you have to download sobjs.lha, extract it and and copy them to SOBJS:. Not required if you use AmiUpdate to update OWB, the new shared objects are installed automatically
- The shared libcurl uses DEVS:curl-ca-bundle.crt instead of S:curl-ca-bundle.crt (since it's not a script using S: was wrong)
- Mounting RANDOM: is not required any more
Download:
OWB.lha (2,8 MB)
sobjs.lha (1,8 MB)

Amiga User Rheinland: New Internet address
Oliver Eschbach writes: The homepage of Amiga User Rheinland can be found under aur.eschi-web.de with immediate effect and until further notice. For reasons that remain unexplained so far, the owner of the old domain address has changed, whereby we no longer had access to the sub-account.
Should anyone have linked to our homepage, may thus bring the Internet address to the current state please. The homepage will continue to be maintained and updated. (snx) (Translation: cad)
