AmigaOS 4: Updates to The Widow and Slot Machine Saga
At the beginning of February, Juan Carlos 'Templario' Herran Martin did remove all his software from his Morgue Soft Webseite but as he already announced he was going to keep on updating his projects.

Two days ago he released on OS4Depot an update to his point-and-click adventure "The Widow". He has added Polish translation and improved the game a little bit (Paranormal Experience, Slot Machine).

Already at the end of February he had released a new version of his slot machine WArMUP based on Hollywood:
Slot Machine WArMUP
Version 1.20 does not require any external Hollywood plugins and offers some minor improvements like animated coins or additional sounds.
According to the author on request by amiga-news.de, he currently is working on his picture viewer Videntium Picta. (dr) (Translation: dr)

Cloanto: Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 9
Press release: March 10, 2021 - Cloanto released today version 9 of Amiga Forever and C64 Forever, the official Commodore/Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows.

The new editions are the result of more than two years of development since the previous major version, which also saw the parallel release of numerous free updates to the previous version, and the development of Amiga Explorer 8 and Amiga Explorer 9 (now included in Amiga Forever 9 Plus Edition and Premium Edition).

Version 9 celebrates beautiful new visual features like Arcade mode (screenshot), Tile mode, light vs. dark options, and a first set of more colorful skin variants. Under the hood, hardware-accelerated technologies like Direct2D are used to provide a snappy experience. Powerful new column and tile field selection and sort options provide unprecedented control within the player interface, while a new property handler and an enhanced preview handler enable seamless content access via File Explorer and Windows Search.

New automation and title authoring features make it possible to automatically run a script or application on startup, e.g. to quickly invoke different features or games from a shared Amiga setup. This is envisioned to be only the beginning of new automation capabilities which are planned to be released over the next months.

Additional Amiga improvements include RDB disk image enhancements, while 8-bit features include new SID audio, drive and media options, and support for the MAX Machine and the C64 Magic Voice cartridge.

On the input front, shared Amiga and 8-bit improvements include the ability to use the player entirely with a game controller, and enhanced virtual buttons that can now simulate guest joystick events (e.g. autofire) in addition to keyboard events.

Hundreds of smaller new features and refinements also made it into these new versions. Windows too went through several new releases since the previous major release of Amiga Forever and C64 Forever, and the new code base provides better support for new features introduced in Windows 10 versions 1909, 2004 and 20H2.

Amiga Forever 9 is available now in three editions:
  • Value Edition (downloadable installer)
  • Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image)
  • Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition, plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs)
C64 Forever 9 is available now in three editions: Both packages recognize and work with each other, with options to merge the different platforms into the same interface. Prices start from $9.95 (Value Edition, or special upgrade offers). (snx)
