`06.Jul.2020`	Individual Computers: New power supply units can be preordered From now on it is possible to preorder new power supply units from Individual Computers for the keyboard Amigas A500, A600 and A1200. The delivery is planned for 10th August. The offered solution consists of a common laptop power supply unit as well as a second unit put between the power supply unit and the computer which is in a C64 module case featuring additional Amiga specific elektronics and the power switch. According to the developer the "CA-PSU", available for 75 Euro, "is the first power supply on the market that fully complies with the original Commodore specifications, introducing cable drop compensation for best regulation that even settles the voltage drop in the input filter of the target computers. This means that the voltage on the main 5V rail will never deviate more then 0.9%, measured inside the computer - no matter if the computer is in vanilla configuration or heavily expanded. Conventional power supplies will either supply too-high voltage to a vanilla machine, or too-low voltage to an expanded machine, causing malfunction or even defects."

`06.Jul.2020` Indie Retro News (Webseite)	Playable demo: Shoot'em Up 'Ftype' 'Ftype' written in AmiBlitz 3 (video) is a classic, vertically scrolling shooter including a bonus system. The game is still at a relatively early stage of development which the author describes as "stress-test". Destination platform in an non-expanded A1200. The game is supposed to be run also on an A500 provided a compatibility problem with the Amiblitz compiler will be fixed. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

`06.Jul.2020` Indie Retro News (Webseite)	Emulator: WinUAE 4.4.0 Version 4.4.0 of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released. New features/improvements: 68000 address and bus error (bus errors are not used in Amiga) stack frames are now 100% accurate, including all undefined behavior like partially updated flags or registers. Last missing part that wasn’t fully accurate previously. 68010 emulation is now cycle-accurate. Including loop mode. 68030 MMU emulation simplified and optimized. CPU tester detected rare CPU/FPU bugs fixed. Multiple CPU tester detected undocumented CPU and FPU (all models) behavior emulated, mainly edge cases that almost never happen normally. More information in detailed changelogs. Debugger assembler and disassembler updates and fixes. 1x-8x CPU multipliers are now also supported in prefetch (more compatible) CPU mode. Implemented Paula serial port emulation receive break condition detection support. “diskchange rdh0:” can be now used to eject drag&drop mounted directory/file/archive harddrive. On screen led floppy leds have brighter border if inserted disk is write protected. If 2 light pens/guns enabled and if gun 2 moves, enable only gun 2 crosshair. Previously gun 1 move enabled both crosshairs. “Default” filter mode now enables aspect ratio correction and scales to window/screen size only when display size is too large or too small. Ignore ncap/winpcap dll version because recent ncap versions have smaller version number than old winpcap versions. GUI Reset button now copies current full GUI config to active config, including options that normally can’t be changed on the fly. FPU default is back to 64-bit. Very few programs require 80-bit accuracy, it wasn’t worth the speed loss. Black borders are not anymore enabled in autoscale center mode. Few custom chipset and CIA emulation updates. Added easy to use and transparent printf()-like debug logging method for developers. Fixed bugs: If disk read DMA was started without any selected drive(s), it was always emulated in turbo mode. Screen capture to clipboard created blank image if 256 color or less RTG mode and capture before filtering was set. When ejecting directory filesystem that points to plain file or archive, not all host file handles were closed properly. Switching GUI panels left stale entry in internal array, possibly causing random crash after switching panels many times. Config file (*.uae) icon is now correct again. 4.3.0 bugs fixed: Some RTG to RTG mode resolution switches didn’t resize windowed mode correctly. CD32 pad red button didn’t always work as a normal fire button, depending on how it was configured. CD32 ROM delay loop patch was skipped. Broke CD32 CD if CPU speed was too fast. New emulated hardware: Hardital Dotto (clone of ICD AdIDE) (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06. Jul. 2020, 17:37] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`04.Jul.2020`	Individual Computers: Indivision AGA Mk3 can be pre-ordered From now on you can pre-order the third generation of the scandoubler/flickerfixer "Indivision AGA" from Individual Computers. The currently offered version is meant for A1200 and A4000T - this one requires a minor modifications to the A4000T mainboard by the user - computers. This third generation now "supports synchronisation of the output signal with the computer's V-Sync signal" which "allows sliky-smooth animations and perfect scrolling without tearing". This requires a monitor supporting a refresh rate of 50 Hz. The developers also wrote: "Another improvement over the predecessor models is automatic monitor recognition: The configuration tool can detect what size of monitor is connected and make suggestions for ideal output frequencies that are within the specifications of the monitor. This reduces the "first setup" to a matter of minutes, maybe even seconds if you're using one of the presets for popular display panel sizes that we provide. Indivision AGA Mk3 is plugged over the Lisa chip. For the first time, a second connection is required to take advantage of all features of the product: An additional adapter is clipped on top of a CIA chip to route keyboard signals to the flicker fixer. This gives way for a huge practical improvement over previous versions of the flicker fixer: You can now make small adjustments to the output picture format, including positioning and re-sizing of the output picture without the need to load the configuration tool. While Indivision predecessors required the user to exit a game, load the config tool, make adjustments and then re-boot into the game, you can now open a simple menu using a hot-key combination, make adjustments with the keyboard or mouse and then exit this live configuration menu - all this without leaving the game or demo that's currently running." The new Indivision AGA is suppoed to be delivered from 10th August. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 04. Jul. 2020, 23:47] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
