MorphOS: Arcade-Emulator MAME 0.148
Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has released an update of the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) which emulates several arcade machines (screenshot). According to the developer, MAME has become up to 15% slower.
Changes in MorphOS version 0.148:
- Builtin MUI GUI with screenshots and history.dat/mameinfo.dat support and per-game configurations
- Optimized triple-buffered display routines
- Overlay support, offering free scaling and filtering. To avoid struggling with exotic screenmodes, MAME clones the Ambient desktop resolution when switching to fullscreen/overlay mode (unless specified otherwise)
- Blanker control
- AHI output
- Joypad/Mouse support

ACube Systems: Audio issue on some Sam460-boards identified
Press release: The problem with the crackling audio on some Sam460ex boards/AmigaOne 500 systems has been identified.
For some reasons, still under investigation, a few boards miss a resistor (R267).
This 0 ohm resistor is responsible for the clock source selection of the AC97 codec, without it the codec runs at a wrong frequency which causes the crackling audio.
If you have a sound quality problem with your Sam460ex board/AmigaOne 500 system, please check if the R267 resistor is in place or not. See this photo from the bottom of the board.
If the resistor is missing, it could be easily fixed just soldering the two open pads together, for such fix we suggest to contact your reseller.
Alternatively the problem may be mitigated with a special sm502.audio driver which minimizes (but not completely removes) the noise. Download and try this alternate driver.

ACube Systems: onchipmem.resource for Sam460ex-boards
With the onchipmem.resource, under AmigaOS 4.1 ACube Systems provides developers access to the buffer memory of the APM460Ex-SoC. This is much faster than the main memory, nearly as fast as the level-2-cache of the processor.
The buffer is meant to handle application data or to faster exchange data with the video memory. The archive includes a description as well as example source code.

Accelerator board: Vampire 600 is stable
Two years ago Igor Majstorovic announced the FPGA-based accelerator board Vampire 600 for the Amiga 600. According to the developer in the VooDoo-Amiga forum this board is stable and is currently tweaked. He then is going to produce (after the revision) 50 boards with 8 MB memory, and then with 64 MB.
Compared with accelerator boards which have a proper 680x0-processor, like the Fúria EC020, currently the Vampire has a lower performance speed (checked by Sysinfo): With a 72 MHz clocked FPGA, 1332 Dhrystone-instructions per second, compared with the Fúria, which features 4846 on its 28 MHz MC68EC020FG25.

Besides smaller tasks, now only sound support remains to be implemented. While the bounty deadline is officially set to be March 3, actual release depends on the time required for other team members' components for MorphOS 3.2 to be finished and the subsequent beta-testing, he says.

AmigaOS 4: Jump'n Run Frogatto (alpha version)
The Jump'n Run Frogatto is a mix of an open-source engine with proprietary game data. For iOS and Blackberry a fee is required for the game, ports for desktop operating systems are available for free.
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel now has ported the game to AmigaOS 4. The author has invited everybody to carefully read the documentation: Probbaly it is still an alpha version which can have bugs. Frogatto requires the libboostyGfx.so library which was also developed by Nouvel. Due to a bug in Wazp3D, currently Warp3D is absolutely required.
According to Nouvel, Frogatto is right now his last OS4-port. The port has taken two months and in future he will neither have enough time nor motivation (he mentioned the very low feedback which he has got for all his previous projects) for similar projects.

Hollywood: APNG-Plugin
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and SAVE animations in the APNG format (animated portable network graphics). The great advantage of the APNG format is that it allows you to import and create animations that use alpha channel transparency. Neither the IFF ANIM nor the GIF ANIM formats support alpha channel transparency. Furthermore, APNG can also handle true colour frame data. A rival format to APNG is the MNG format but APNG support was chosen because more applications support it.
You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google Android are provided.

S3Cmd is a script for AmigaOS 4 for Python 2.5 which makes it possible to access the Amazon-online-storage S3 via the Shell.
Since for MorphOS and AROS there are also current Python versions available it should also work with them. Please remove the included, precompiled .pyc-files before. Because for AmigaOS 3.x only an alpha version 2.4.6 is available this could cause some problems.
