`11.Jun.2022` Marcus Sackrow (Mail)	AmiTube 1.1: YouTube client for all Amiga systems Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiTube enables watching YouTube videos on an 68k Amiga. They are converted to Commodore's CDXL format and downloaded. With version 1.1 released today, the 'Fancy List' introduced a few days ago is integrated into the program: a new list function where title, description and thumbnail are displayed directly in the list (amiga-news.de reported). After switching to this variant, the images are loaded automatically, making it suitable only for faster Amigas/RTG or NG Amigas (YouTube video). The author tested the new feature on his Amiga 1200 with TF1260, AGA and 32 colors and found: "it’s not that bad, certainly fast enough to work with it." The changes in detail: Fancy movie list updated translation for italian and french encoding bug fixes (should show now umlauts and other non ASCII chars in title and description) smaller bugs fixes related downloading movies The current version can be downloaded from the AmiTube website or installed via the update check in AmiTube.

`10.Jun.2022`	Amiga disks on PC: DrawBridge 2.8.8 / FloppyBridge 1.2 Robert Smith's project "DrawBridge" (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge) uses like the similar ADF Drive a microcontroller - in this case an Arduino board - to read and write Amiga floppies with a connected standard PC floppy drive. By means of the plugin FloppyBridge, WinUAE is also officially supported since version 4.9.0. DrawBridge has been updated to version 2.8.8 providing the following changes: Added support for reading and writing track 82 and 83 (firmware update needed too, not all drives support this anyway) Fixed a mistake in diagnostics suggesting pin A0 was write protect, it's A1! Now hides any CH340 com ports from the list as they're incompatible anyway Fixed compiling under Linux Changes of the latest version 1.2 of FloppyBridge: Added no-click disk check when it has to be done manually Added support for tracks 82 and 83 if supported by the drive (firmware update needed for DrawBridge) Updated Greaseweazle driver to also support Shugart interfaces Some cosmetic fixes Prior installation of the new DrawBridge firmware 1.9.25 is required.

After its release of the second beta version of version 2.1, the developer 'mithrendal' has not only integrated this latest vAmigaCore2.1b2 into his application, but also some other changes: CPU overclocking up to 100Mhz (great for legendary titles like frontier/elite2 or fa-18 interceptor) PAL/NTSC hot switching (pixel ratio and 50/60 Hz chipset system speed) floppy drive and hard drive sounds and track display in the HUD completely reworked display sizes for overscan games like "the settlers" various bugfixes e.g. memory leaks, pixel precision and more (dr) [News message: 10.

`09.Jun.2022`	Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga 2.1b2 By releasing version 2.0 (amiga-news.de reported), developer Dirk Hoffmann has started the beta phase of version 2.1 of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS and has just released the second beta version.

`09.Jun.2022` English Amiga Board	RTG driver: P96 V3.3.1 released Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) has released version 3.3.1 of his RTG driver P96, which can be bought or downloaded from the order history at iComp. This is again a minor service release providing the following features: The Cirrus5434.chip driver was broken (Piccollo64, Matze's graphics card) and did not switch back from direct color modes to chunky modes. One release of UAE had an issue by indicating that it would support mode mixing, but forgot to provide the necessary call-backs in some configurations. P96 provides now default call-backs avoiding the crash. Bitmap handling was simplified and streamlined. The Visiona driver supports now panning and interlace. The installer places now the P96 version into ENVARC:Picasso96/Version so you know what you have on the system. The installer no longer provides wrong default selections for the available boards in case the list of installed boards requires more than one page. The installer makes a very tiny consistency check on the unpacked files as some people unpacked on the PC, and then protection bits were incorrect. (dr) [News message: 09.
