AmigaOS 4: Jagged Alliance 2-Port in progress
Jagged Alliance 2 is a round based strategy game with role play elements. There is an open-source SDL-port of the game called ja2-stracciatella (screenshots: 1, 2, 3).
In the forum of the ja2-stracciatella-project Hans-Jörg "Alwarren" Frieden told that he is developing a port for AmigaOS 4.0. The port obviously is already playable but the developer tries to write the source code more CPU-independent.

AmigaOS 3.9: scsi.device-patch for LBA48-support (update)
Download:
scsi.device.lba48.pch.zip (335 Bytes)
Update: Meanwhile this fix was integrated in Christian Sauer's scsi.device-patch which has been available on Aminet for a while and which fixes another bug.
WinUAE-author Toni Wilen wrote:
"I found something interesting when I was implementing LBA48 support to IDE emulation. OS3.9BB2 scsi.device (v43.43) does have LBA48 support but it has bug that freezes or crashes the Amiga..
I fixed the bug (patch details below) and now (at least in emulation) my A1200 IDE 160G test hard file works perfectly with full capacity.
This may also fix common v43.43 scsi.device boot freeze if drive has LBA48 support. (but older scsi.device versions work). Confirmation needed.
Patch is compatible with all v43.43 scsi.devices (A600/A1200/A4000)
Please test if you have >128G IDE drive and/or you have boot freeze without NOROMUPDATES or SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device

WARNING: Patching HD drivers is always dangerous, data loss is always possibility.
Next follows my random notes, no need to understand this
Old code that returns garbage after LBA48 command:
10FEF2A0 43fa 000e LEA.L (PC,$000e) == $10fef2b0,A1
10FEF2A4 3219 MOVE.W (A1)+,D1

10FEF2AC 3001 MOVE.W D1,D0
10FEF2AE 4e75 RTS.L
10FEF2B0 0220 02C4 0430 04C5 02EC 0450 0070 0010
10FEF2C0 0091 00C6 0040 0090 0000
20 = read sectors
c4 = read multiple
30 = write sectors
c5 = write multiple
ec = identify drive
50 = format
70 = seek
10 = recalibrate
91 = initialize drive parameters
c6 = set multiple mode
40 = read verify sectors
90 = execute drive diagnostics
00 = nop
New code (different because space was really tight..)
43FA 0018 lea data(pc),a1
7200 moveq #0,d1
0C11 00FF l1 cmp.b #$ff,(a1)
6606 bne.s l2

dc.b 0xff,0x04,0xc5,0x39,0x30,0x34,0x50
dc.b 0xff,0x00
This adds following missing LBA48 commands:
29 = read multiple ext
39 = write multiple ext
24 = read sectors ext
34 = write sectors ext
Meaning of this table is to return 2 (if read command), 4 (if write command) or 0 (no data).
Someone simply forgot to add new LBA48 commands to this table when LBA48 support was implemented.."

Pictures and videos from the Powerdev Meeting
Various pictures and videos have now been released from the PowerDev Meeting, which took place from May 1 to 4 in Hörstel and was supported by Genesi.
In addition to numerous pictures of MorphOS 2.0, the developer boards Hellrosa by STx as well as MPC8610HPCD by Freescale can be seen as well. These computers were designated as "Efika 5121e" and "Efika 8610" by the organizer, which should probably be a sign of plans to develop one's own products based on these motherboards, which were already suggested by the Genesi management in various forums and blog entries.
