C64 conversion: Plattformer 'Henry's House' 'Henry's House' (video) is a classic single-screen platformer released for the C64 in 1984. The Amiga conversion comes from the developer team 'MC STUDIOS', which apparently wants to port a whole series of 8-bit titles to the Amiga. The title requires Kickstart 1.2 and 1 megabyte RAM.

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 2.0 Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer is now available in version 2.0. Reason for the version leap is change of the browser's core: Now Wayfarer is based on the latest stable implementation of WebKitGTK (2.32.1), which is about one year newer than the one Wayfarer 1.x used, proving this project's sustainability. Most visible feature introduced by this is support of the so-called "dark mode" offered by some websites (example video). Furthermore some bugs have been fixed - in the past, checkmarks were not rendered at some websites for example. Please note that the ICU files included in the archive must be moved to MOSSYS: in order to run latest Wayfarer. Changes in detail:

Sample source code: Hardware-oriented programming with Free Pascal Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has published on GitHub some examples for hardware-near programming - i.e. writing directly to chip registers - with Freepascal. The goal was to create the shortest possible compilations that recreate typical demoscene effects: the 700-byte tool 'copper' creates a copper list, while the 3-kilobyte 'sinus' uses the copper to manipulate bitplanes to create a sine effect.

Trevor's Amiga Blog: First volume finished, beta version of DvPlayer in test After more than 10 months Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology has written an entry in his Trevor's Amiga Blog again. A large part of it is his report about the work on the two volume book 'From Vultures to Vampires' about the Amiga history, which is to be written by him and David Pleasance, starting with the takeover of the Commodore rights by ESCOM. He says the first volume has been completed and is now being proofread. In a second section he gives a brief history of the movie player 'DvPlayer', starting with the first version developed by Stephen Fellner in 2005, through the acquisition of the rights from A-EON Technology (2015) and their work on hardware accelerated video playback support for the A-EON RadeonHD v2 driver using the graphics card's own GPU, to the creation of a new beta version that Hans der Ruiter has developed and is currently testing. The new version allows high-resolution video files to be played either in full-screen mode or in scalable windows that can be resized during playback. To that end, he uploaded a screenshot to his blog page showing DvPlayer playing an HD and a 1080p video in parallel on an AmigaOne X5000/40. Matthew Leaman would have informed him that, if all went well, the new version would be released in the AmiStore next month. (dr) (Translation: bb) [News message: 19.

Icon-Library 46.4.545 Recently we introduced Peter Keunecke's icon.library which provides all functions for processing pictograms. Due to the release of AmigaOS 3.2, but obviously also inspired by our contribution and especially the numerous comments, he has now released version 46.4.545. For the first time he has not only added a documentation in the form of an 'IconLib.guide' as requested by many, but has also made it available in English as well as in German. Furthermore, the TrueColor (TC) version now displays OS4 and PNG icons 30-70% faster in conjunction with workbench.library v44+ or Wanderer on native screens, but not with WB 3.1 and DOpus5. As Peter Keunecke writes further, AmigaOS 3.2 now requires at least an icon.library v47. In order to be able to use his icon.library under this OS anyway, he has apparently upgraded the 'icon.library_TC020' to version 51.4.545. The other two standard versions 'icon.library_68000' and 'icon.library_68020' do not work under AmigaOS 3.2 anymore. According to him, the new icon.library provided by AmigaOS 3.2 should be "more efficient and faster, avoiding many useless refreshes". But since he does not own the new OS, he cannot test this. At least 'FastWB' seems to have no advantage anymore. And further he writes: "The new OS 3.2 file type detection of DefIcons is only supported by my v51 libraries like TC020. I have no intention to set the 680x0 versions higher." (dr) (Translation: bb) [News message: 19. Jun. 2021, 06:37] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
