Jump'n Run: Preview of "Zerosphere"
In "Zerosphere" (Youtube-video) the surroundings of the player is presented blurred. But if the player "blinks" (fire button), it can momentarily look at the real world around it.

The "Party Version" released at pouet.net has won the "Interactive" competetition of the demo party Evoke. It is a preview version. The full version will be released during this year. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.6.0beta1 (2nd Update)
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD and based on WinUAE and "includes an easy-to-use graphical configuration program which allows you to enjoy FS-UAE and Amiga emulation without writing configuration files.". Since the last stable version released in March (2.4.1), so far only developer versions have been released.

Changes in FS-UAE:
  • New option floppy_drive_volume_empty
  • Switched default key mapping for host backslash and insert keys
  • Use GLEW instead of GLee for OpenGL extensions
  • When not using FS-UAE Launcher, model A1200 defaulted to kickstart 3.0
Changes in FS-UAE-Launcher:
  • Changed tab panel appearance on OS X to match other platforms
  • Renamed language prefs to appearance prefs, added launcher theme option
  • Close login dialog before opening database refresh dialog
  • Settings UI for specifying empty floppy drive volume (or disabling it)
  • Added keyboard settings to configure equals/insert/backslash/less mapping
  • Added support for WHDLoad 18.1, set as default version
  • Replaced some icons, added new rom/ram icon
  • Fixed an issue with the new CPU selection
Update: (06.08.2015, 14:50, cg)

Meanwhile version 2.5.35dev is available.

Changes in FS-UAE:
  • Fixed bug (lockup) when quitting FS-UAE from Amiga side on some platforms.
  • Fixed a potential key repeat issue (could not reproduce original problem).
  • Load kickstart replacement from data files instead of embedding in executable.
  • Re-enabled serial port (was disabled in 2.5.31dev), fixed AROS Kickstart replacement.
  • Share serial port emulation code with WinUAE.
Known bugs:
  • When entering the GUI using modifier+F12, the modifier key(s) sticks in the emulated Amiga when you return to the emulation.
  • Graphical flickering in Workbench with non-cycle-exact emulation.
  • When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
Changes in FS-UAE-Launcher:
  • Added All Games / All Configurations to drop-down.
  • Nicer behavior when kickstart ROM for chosen model is missing.
  • Moved more warnings and information to status bar.
  • Fixed handling of downloadable games.
  • Use Fusion QT style on all platforms by default.
  • Default to Fusion Adwaita style variant when running under GNOME 3.
  • Show warning icon in settings if option is overriden by configuration.
  • Fixed OAGD.net locker uploader.
  • New additional configuration page.
  • Moved custom configuration (button) to additional config page.
  • Removed some “noise” from custom configuration and advanced settings.
2nd Update: (17:55, 08.08.15, snx)
In the meantime, FS-UAE 2.6.0beta1 has been released. It is intended as a semi-stable version for new users as a replacement for the latest stable release (2.4.3).

Improvements over version 2.4.3 include:
  • Updated emulation code from WinUAE 3.1.0.
  • Support for PPC emulation (can run AmigaOS 4.x) via QEMU-UAE plugin
  • More emulated hardware support (Toccata, A2061, Picasso IV, …)
  • Better support for modern OS versions due to using SDL 2.0
  • Built-in support for multiple displays, and fixes for HiDPI displays
  • The Launcher supports modern OS versions better due to using QT 5.x
  • Much improved FS-UAE Launcher user interface
  • FS-UAE mouse integration (Workbench cursor follows host cursor)
  • Updated internal kickstart replacement from AROS
  • Dual joystick/mouse mode for joystick port 0
  • Official builds for SteamOS (Linux + Steam runtime)
  • OS X apps are now digitally signed (Apple Developer ID)
  • Many bug fixes
Support for IPF disk images is now provided by a plugin which you need to download separately. (cg) (Translation: dr)
