AmigaOS 4: FFmpeg 6.1 and FFmpegGUI 3.5
The latest AmigaOS port of the video converter FFmpeg contains a number of changes and is now on a par with the last official version "Heaviside". An update of the graphical user interface FFmpegGUI now requires at least FFmpeg 6.0 and supports more video, audio and container formats. Some obsolete settings have been removed and some bugs have been fixed. Settings files that use the new filters have also been added. With today's re-upload of version 3.5, the tool types are now also set correctly. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Extended audio emulator "Nallepuh" 1.8
"Nallepuh" or "Nalle Puh" is a hack that intercepts some custom chip register accesses and converts them into AHI function calls. Initially only the Paula chip was emulated, but now the Complex Interface Adapter (CIA-Chip) and the Blitter have been added (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.8 offers the following changes:
  • Updated translation for Italian.
  • Updated translation for Norwagine.
  • Bug fixed: logPUH() maybe it can cause ISI error. (So rewritten to make safer under forbid state and now use DebugPrintF to log output instead, of ugly callback hook. requester used if in GUI mode. text printed in console if not.)
  • Puh.c: Improved audio validation, (to prevent playback of bad data.)
  • Puh.c: clean code style.
  • package change, tooltype settings disabled as default.
  • Reorganized lots of arrays into one array. (to reduce indexing)

AmigaOS 4: FTP server ZitaFTP with 20% X-Mas discount
ZitaFTP Server is an easy to set up and use FTP server for sharing files from one computer to another and is available for Windows and AmigaOS 4 (amiga-news.de reported). With Christmas coming up, Hans de Ruiter is offering his commercial FTP server at a 20% discount. As he writes, it has been a crazy year for his family, which is why you haven't seen as much from him this year as previously. He wishes everyone a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and fulfilling New Year.

To receive the 20% discount, add ZitaFTP to your shopping basket and enter the voucher code "CHRISTMAS2023" at the checkout.

Looking ahead to the coming year, the ZitaSync project is still on the agenda, as the developer wrote us (YouTube video). However, its realisation depends largely on whether users show sufficient interest. (dr)

Video: Test of the transfer of the RGB signal from the Amiga to the PiStorm
When using a PiStorm or PiStorm32-lite as an accelerator card, for example in the A1200, the RTG emulation has so far been provided via the HDMI port and the RGB data supplied by the Denise chip at the RGB port. In this video, PiStorm developer Claude Schwarz now shows for the first time how the RGB signal is transferred to the PiStorm's camera port in order to then output all graphics data via a single HDMI port.
