AmigaKit: MP3-Hardware "MAS-Player" with integrated audio mixer
The British trader AmigaKit has published again the hardware-MP3-decoder MAS-Player which plays MP3-files on any Amiga with 68020-processor and 2 MB RAM.

In this new edition the sound output of the MP3-player is mixed with the audio signal of the Amiga so both signals are available at the output of the MAS-player. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Elbox: FastATA Mk IV with SATA-controller and CompactFlash-Slot
The fourth issue of Elbox' harddrive controller FastATA is available in three different versions - for Zorro III, Amiga 1200 or for the Elbox ZIV-device - and now has PATA- ("IDE") ports as well as a SATA port and a CompactFlash slot.

Additionally new software (ATA3.driver 11.0, FastATA4000 ver. 4.0) enclosed with the new controllers is optimized for best compatibility with Compact Flash cards and SATA drives. CF cards controlled by a FastATA controller are seen in the Amiga system as a fixed (non-removable) device, which facilitates installation of bootable partitions on them. (cg) (Translation: dr)

A-EON Technology supports RadeonHD driver development
Press release: Wellington, 23rd February 2012. Following the recent release of the RadeonHD graphics driver for AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5, which made it's official debut on the AmigaONE X1000 "First Contact" system, we are pleased to reveal that we have now concluded a further agreement with Hans de Ruiter for the continued development of his RadeonHD drivers for the AmigaOS.

In a statement de Ruiter commented, "I am currently working to get the driver fully ready for 3D, and to release quality. Thanks to the support of Trevor Dickinson (A-EON Technology), I will be able to devote more time to RadeonHD driver development over the next few months, and achieve this goal much sooner than would otherwise have been the case.

The features being worked on include: Vertical blanking interrupt support for RadeonHD cards (no more wasting CPU cycles when double-buffering); Video RAM (VRAM) management for the RadeonHD_RM.resource (intelligent VRAM buffer paging)."

De Ruiter added: "The last feature is essential for stable 3D operation. I look forward to delivering RadeonHD.chip version 1.x and, of course, to be able to run modern 3D applications using RadeonHD cards and AmigaOS."

Dickinson said in reply: "I am really pleased to help fund Hans' RadeonHD driver work. This is excellent news for all AmigaONE X1000 owners, including myself ;-) and hopefully should benefit all AmigaOS 4 users in the future."

About Hans de Ruiter & HDRLab: Hans de Ruiter is an electrical & electronic engineer and leading AmigaOS developer and Amiga enthusiast. His website - HDRLab - details various projects, many of which are AmigaOS related. The biggest of these is the RadeonHD driver for AmigaOS, an ambitious project that aims to deliver modern graphics capabilities for the AmigaOS platform.

About AmigaOS: The AmigaOS dates back to 1985 with the introduction of the landmark Amiga 1000. Today, under the guidance and control of Hyperion Entertainment, AmigaOS has evolved into a modern operating system without losing that intrinsic "Amiga" look and feel.

About the AmigaONE X1000: The AmigaONE X1000 is not like other computers. It is a culmination of efforts by real Amiga enthusiasts and developers to create powerful, modern desktop hardware for the AmigaOS. It is the natural evolution of the Amiga's PowerPC lineage and is based on the PA-Semi Dual-core PA6T-1682M CPU and includes Xena, a "Software Defined Silicon" co-processor. Above all it runs the latest version of the AmigaOS.

Hollywood 5: Infinity released
Press release: After two years of development, Airsoft Softwair is proud to annouce the immediate availability of Hollywood 5: Infinity for AmigaOS and compatibles and Microsoft Windows. This is a massive update which boasts over 120 new functions in comparison to Hollywood 4.8 and brings along many new features and general improvements. Highlights include the ability to play video streams, full Internet and network support (you could even run a server with Hollywood now!), support for real vector graphics and vector image formats like SVG, hardware accelerated double-buffering, inbuilt synthesizer functions and much much more.

Hollywood 5: Infinity is undoubtedly the most advanced Amiga multimedia application and on Windows it is a fresh Indie alternative to bloated authoring systems that need tons of DLLs, memory, and hard-drive space. Hollywood is highly stable, extremely easy to use and flexible, and used by many creative people around the globe. A totally unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86 & PPC), and Linux (x86 & PPC).

Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 5:
  • Video playback support
  • Full Internet and network support
  • Support for vector images like SVG
  • Real vector graphics can now be used (Bézier curves etc)
  • Tons of new image manipulating functions (blur, sharpen, gamma, oil paint...)
  • Hardware accelerated double-buffering for 500% faster drawing
  • Inbuilt synthesizer for generating sounds on-the-fly
  • Many functions for brush distortion (perspective, arc, polar...)
  • New requester functions (font, color, lister...)
  • Hollywood can now compile for PowerPC Linux too!
  • Many new functions for dealing with samples
  • Great improvements to the layers system
  • Real drop shadow and border support for layers
  • Over 20 image filters that can be applied to layers
  • Hardware accelerated image transformations
  • Real time calculated effects for layers with filters
  • New gradient types (radial, conical and multicolor)
  • IPC functions for talking to other programs
  • Platform independent localization support
  • FPU support for 68k Amigas (improves speed dramatically also on WinUAE!)
  • Platform independent pattern matching
  • Many new utility functions (MD5 checksum, string functions etc.)
  • Cross-platform public plugin interface for 3rd party extensions
  • More than 500kb of new documentation
  • Manual is also available as a professionally typeset PDF now (over 700 pages!)
  • 14 new example scripts (over 80 in total)
  • Standard library set encompasses over 600 functions now!
  • Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes

Hollywood 5: Infinity is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on a CD-ROM and as a download version for AmigaOS compatible systems and for Microsoft Windows. The CD-ROM version is delivered in a nice Digipak (picture). If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version. Customers, who have bought Hollywood 4.8 after January 1st, 2012, can apply for a free upgrade. On the Airsoft Softwair Homepage there are some screenshots of Hollywood 5 in action.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux! With Hollywood, you can save programs for all those platforms. You do not have to own AmigaOS4 or AROS, you can save programs for these platforms also from your AmigaOS3 installation! You do not need to have Mac OS X, you can still compile your programs for it using your AmigaOS or MorphOS installation. Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the Hollywood product information which also contains a full feature list of Hollywood or the official Hollywood portal at http://www.hollywood-mal.com/ which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 5: Infinity now! (cg) (Translation: dr)

The ACA-1231/42 comes with 64 MB RAM, 1 MB of which are reserved to map the Kickstart into the fast memory. Kickstart 3.0 users must add the memory with the ACATune software. (cg) (Translation: dr)

NetPrinter 1.15
With Guido Mersmann's NetPrinter you can print with a printer in the network. The driver supports printing via RAW- (direct) and LPR-protocol. Additionally a preference-tool is included with which you can easily configure your printer. The MorphOS-version will be automatically added to the system preferences.

The author points out that NetPrinter does not replace the printer driver but only provides a connection to the USB and serial port. If a printer does not print via the USB-, parallel or serial port then the printer will also not print with NetPrinter.

Additional to the direct download under the title link, NetPrinter also is available via Grunch.

Changes in version 1.15:
  • New name for the 68K preference programm
  • Multi printer support fixed.
  • NETPAR-Mount-script for classic systems added by Ernest Unrau. Thanks!
  • NETPAR-Mount-script for MorphOS added
  • Many optimisations

The package is completely untested because the author does not use AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS. So any kind of feedback or questions are very welcome.

AmigaOS 4: Composite3DDemo incl. source code
As test programm for his AmigaOS-4-drivers for graphic baords Radeon X1300, RadeonHD 4890 and others, Hans de Ruiter has written Composite3DDemo (screenshot, video) which is inspired by the original Boingball demo.

His interactive 3D-programm which already is included in AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5 in the media drawer renders graphics with hardware-accelerated 2D-graphic without using 3D-drivers.

The source code of Version 0.32 is also available under the title link.

Version 0.32 mainly includes big fixes as well as the support of the homogeneous form of texture coordinates. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: AmiTV-Testversion 20120207
After a longer break Ian Gledhill has published an update of his Tv-software AmiTV. The chipsets Brooktree Bt848/Bt878 and Conexant Cx23881/Cx23882/Cx23883 are supported. Using overlay can crash the system occasionally when compositing is turned on.

The author recommends to save your work first before you use this program. (cg) (Translation: dr)

ACube Systems: Sam440ep_setup 1.3
With version 1.3 of ACube System's Sam440ep_setup the performance of Sam440ep-boards (Mini-ITX and Flex) can be increased by using more "aggressive" preferences of the instruction cache speculative prefetching.

This allows a faster execution for some software, for example Blender with an increased performance by 10%-20%. You can find an example command line under the title link.

Please note that some values returned by Ragemem are incorrect (MIPS) or lower (L2 cache read64/write64) when this setting is enabled. To disable this setting, add NOCCR argument to the command line. AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4 is required.

Emulator: FPSE 0.10.3
Version 0.10.3 of the "Free Play Station Emulator" (FPSE) was published for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS/x86.

The update fixes some problems with the link-mode-emulation on 68k and x86 systems. Additionally a new plugin for the lowlevel.library was added which makes it now possible using controlpads on all systems. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Point and Click Adventure: Goldmedaillon
The point and click adventure "Goldmedaillon" ("Zloty Medaillon", Youtube video of the demo version) was originally published as Shareware and is now available as free version in German, English and Polish.

The game can be played only from harddrive. Before you start the game you have to edit the text file ZM.pref and to enter the path of the directory where the game is. Besides, the game cannot deal with FastRAM, so you have to swich it off or use the system tool "NoFastMem". (cg) (Translation: dr)
