Pegasos: AmigaOS and CD32 loader
Marcel 'Frostwork' Unbehaun has compiled an AmigaOS and CD32 loader, by means of which the Pegasos II can boot into the respective Amiga environment. By default, an inserted CD32 CD is booted directly.
The Amiga emulation is based on E-UAE and requires appropriate Kickstart files (from the CD32 by default). In addition, you need a Torrent client in order to download. You can obtain details on the range of functions and the installation under the title link.

Java version of BattleDuel completed / Update to the Amiga version
The freeware artillery game BattleDuel (screenshot) now exists as a Java version as well. This port conforms to a one-to-one conversion of the Amiga original, so that network games are possible between both systems.
At the same time, an update for the Amiga version was developed, which ensures compatibility to the Java version and corrects small errors.

AROS: GTK-MUI wrapper included in the Nightly Builds
After all functions required by the Team AROS bounty #30 being implemented by Oliver 'o1i' Brunner into a GTK-MUI wrapper and the current version being judged by the developers to be stable enough that all GTK examples in the CVS do work, Jack Patton has imported a snapshot of the source code into the contrib-sources of AROS. Thus the GTK-MUI wrapper is included in the Nightly Builds of AROS from now on.
The further plans for the (near) future are the integration of as many GLib functions as possible and, as far as this can be achieved, the usage of the original header files. For MorphOS, Ilkka 'itix' Lehtoranta is also turning the wrapper into a dynamic library (gtkmuippc.library).

Analog out is muted while playing non-PCM data, only optical out is used.
Do not use it while playing back audio with AHI, it does not use AHI but

He concludes that Amiga Forever is not only interesting for Amiga fans, but also for people who are enthusiastic about other operating systems, although it is of course rather advisable for those people to buy the cheaper download version without the accompanying videos.

individual Computers: 8 Bit Baby is available
The product "8 Bit Baby", that was already announced in forums and with flyers, is finally available! It's an experimenting-board for hobbyists who want to develop hardware on their own. As the name already suggests, the board aims at users of the popular 8-bit computers of the 80s. These computers all have expansion ports that carry all important signals. Unfortunately, most hobbyists do not have the chance to make their own expansions, because experimenting boards normally do not have slot-connectors.

File Manager: DiskMaster 2.6 released
Since today, the file manager DiskMaster2 is available in version 2.6 for AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4. Counted among the numerous changes, which you can gather from the enclosed DiskMaster2.guide file in detail, is particularly that Reaction is now made use of extensively.
However, the program is still content with V41 here, wherefore the 68K version of DiskMaster2 still runs under MorphOS, provided that the classes from the ClassAct2Demo archive in Aminet are installed. The 68K version is compiled with SAS-C 6.58, the OS4 version, from the same source code, with GCC 4.0.2 and clib2 1.198.

Disk drive emulation with Flash memory card
Under the title link describes Tim N. Taschpulatow his hobby project of an emulated Amiga disk drive using a SD/MMC memory card.
With this hardware, for example linked as drive DF1:, you can read an ADF diskfile on an Amiga computer like from a real disk. Write access is presently not possible. Photos of this construction can be found in a Russian thread on Amiga.org.ru.

In an interview under the title link with Michel Mayer, CEO of Freescale Semiconductor, the former semiconductor sector of Motorola, he expresses himself of the future of the PowerPC.
Despite the loss of the desktop business through Apple there should be a reason for optimism because of the growing opportunities in the embedded sector- automotive for example. There are already 52 chips of Freescale inside the 5er or 7er range of BMW.
