Print magazine: Amiga Future, issue 140
The English and German editions of Amiga Future 140 (September/October 2019) have been released today and can be ordered from the magazine staff or various Amiga dealers. The publisher has pointed out that recently the magazine was selling very well. Therefore it was sold out before the publication date. Until an increase of the edition will be realized it is highly recommended to order in advance at an early stage or to acquire a subscription.

This issue's topics include reviews to the AmigaOS 3.1.4-Update and "Skill Grid" as well as a special about "XCopy". (cg) (Translation: dr)

Audio player: AmigaAMP3 3.25 (update)
Thomas Wenzel wrote: This version mainly provides bug fixes and stability improvements. As new feature the AmigaOS-4 version now also supports the mpega.library for decoding MP2/MP3.

As user you can now choose between the traditional AMP (giving the name to the application) and MPEG-A. MPEG-A is available as highly optimized fixed point version which, in particular, requires few computing time under QEMU-based emulations (WinUAE).

Update: (27.08.2019, 06:15, dr)

Upon request of amiga-news.de Thomas Wenzel confirmed the experiences of a reader that AmigaAMP 3.25 cannot read WAV/AIFF files. This support was skipped by introducing version 3 of the 68k version. Thomas Wenzel cannot remember the exact reason for it but will examine it. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Power architecture: ISA released as open source, softcore introduced
According to the OpenPOWER Foundation under the title link, the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of the IBM POWER processors have been released as open source. Hugh Blemings, Executive Director of the OpenPOWER Foundation, furthermore wrote: "In addition to open sourcing the POWER ISA, IBM is also contributing a newly developed softcore to the community. In a very short time, an IBM engineer was able to develop a softcore on the POWER ISA, and get it up and running on a Xilinx FPGA. This softcore implementation is being demonstrated this week at OpenPOWER Summit North America." (snx) (Translation: dr)

Event: Dickinson and Tyschtschenko at Amiga Future Gamescom booth
Press release: Amiga Future: Again at Gamescom - Also this year the Amiga Future will be represented with APC&TCP at Gamescom in the retro area. Visitors can get detailed information about the Amiga computer system at the almost 90 m² booth and, of course, also test more than 20 devices on site. The Amiga Future team will surely be able to answer all your questions about Amiga.

As guests of honor we have Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology on tuesday and wednesday and Petro Tyschtschenko (formerly Amiga Technologies) on saturday at the stand.

In addition, the Apollo team shows the brand new Vampire 4. You can test the Vampire 4 in detail and the developers are also available for questions.

But we also have two IndieGO systems on our stand, which of course can be thoroughly tested. Of course, Pascal Papara is also there, ready to answer all your questions.

Since we can not (yet) be in two places at the same time, no orders will be sent from August 17 to 27 by our online shop. This also applies to download versions. E-mails can only be answered after Gamescom. We ask for patience. It may take some time before all orders and e-mails can be processed. (snx)

Hollywood: Polybios 1.2 released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present Polybios 1.2. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. Version 1.2 is a minor update and contains some fixes and minor improvements.

The plugin is now available for download from the official Hollywood portal under the title link. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided.

WinUAE users please note that you need at least version 4.2.1 because previous versions have a bug in the emulation of Motorola's 68020 CPU which makes Polybios crash. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Distribution for AmigaOS 3.9: AfA One 1.0
First the distribution AROS One for 68k and x86 was available. Now an Amiga distribution was released which is based on AfA 4.8 adding some AROS components to AmigaOS. An existing AmigaOS-3.9 installation with the inofficial BoingBag 4.

If you use a real Amiga a 68060 processor is required, under WinUAE the emulation of a 68020/030/040 with 256 MB Zorro-III-RAM. At least 2 GB harddrive memory is required as well.

After the installation of AmigaOS 3.9, all content of SYS:WBStartup as well as the directory SYS:Utilities/Amplifer have to be deleted. Then all harddrive is overwritten or completed with the image "AfA One.hdf". For WinUAE users a configuration file is included. The name of the Kickstart-3.1 file has to be "KickStart31".

Hardware: Kickstart-ROM switcher Romulator
In the EAB forum, kipper2k has announced the latest product of his team, the "Romulator", which in an Amiga 500, 600 or 2000 allows you to switch between several Kickstart-ROM images (video). Amiga On The Lake will sell the Romulator.

Below you can read the English-language original announcement:

"I have something new to show off today, something that I don't think has been done for the masses, I believe Commodore used something similar in the development stages of the Amiga.

We call it the 'Romulator'...

It emulates the Amiga ROM and is for the 16-bit computers. If demand is high enough we will finish up the 32-bit version. First here are its features.
  • Accepts up to 1 MB ROM images
  • ROMs can be byteswapped or normal
  • Supports Amiga 500s of revision 3, 5, 6a and 8
  • Supports Amiga 600s
  • For those hackers, it is possible to support 2 MB ROMs (you're on your own, LOL)
  • USB and SD support
  • ROMs are stored using onboard SD card
  • ROMs can be copied from PC to Amiga Romulator SD card
The Romulator sits in the Amiga ROM socket taking the place of the Amiga ROM. When you turn on the Amiga the Amiga is held in the Pause state and the Romulator will display its own bootup menu.

The menu will show all available ROMs you have on your SD card and you can select by keyboard arrows and mouse. Pressing no keys/mouse will cause the Amiga to continue its bootup after a selectable time-out period. Pressing an arrow key/mouse will stop the countdown and you can then move up and down and then press enter to select your ROM to load. The Amiga remembers the previosly used ROM and will load that.

The Romulator has 1 wire that needs to be connected to the Reset line of the Amiga. If using the A500MX keyboard there is a header onboard you just plug it in to. Using the A500MX contoller on a regular keyboard also has a header (oops, I haven't told anyone about that yet... - next week for that!). For the A600 the reset wire needs to be connected to a transistor leg (easy solder) and I am also making a little easy install board similar to the Gotek ones I have just done.

The Menu is a throwback to the classic type intros and has music available. Many, many thanks to Mikestir for the coding on this, it is just bloomin AWESOME (excuse my language). If Mike has time he will release updates that can allow the enduser to use their own music (no promises, he is very busy).

So what does this mean. For starters people can work on their own custom ROMs and try them on the Romulator to see if they are working. A 1 MB ROM image has lots of possibilities as regards custom libraries, onbord HRTMON (and if someone can do a onboard Action Replay ROM I will be forever in their debt (elbow elbow, nudge nudge). Hopefully this will now mean the end of the annoying burning of ROMs which is time consuming and not always successful.

So when is this available... I have a supply in front of me ready to be shipped to AOTL. It is finished, it was sooo hard to keep this quiet and I am glad that is is now free. I do not know what demand would be like for this and the price for parts is not too cheap, so based on demand I will have more made according to demand. The board is a 4-layer board and uses an ARM processor.

For those who want one, supplies are limited and providing there is demand we will produce more.

Cost of A500/A600 versions are the same (expected to be ~$79 USD), the only difference between the two of them is the board layout is reversed. I actually haven't tried in an A1000/A2000, I will add this check to the list of things to do.

If you want a 32-bit version for your A1200 (with 2 MB ROM capability) then flood this thread with requests and we can see about completing our design."

Zum Amiga 2000 trug er noch nach:

"I have just tested my A2000 with the Romulator and the results are good. I tied into the reset line for the romulator and was pleasantly surprised I never even had to solder the reset line, it fits snugly underneath R201.

This is not meant to be used in competition/combination with the Vampire, I consider this an affordable option for the masses who want to just play games swapping ROMs on the fly for maximum compatibility.

So you can see [the original post also includes pictures, editor's note] the new Gotek and the Romulator will sit under the A2000 PSU with lots of clearance. I will create a faceplate for the Gotek so that the OLED can sit in the front of the A2000 with a small button plate, so we are set. :-)

Should be easy enough to tap into the sync and Green line for the OSD display. We can use the big or small OLED. If someone beats me to make a 3D print model for one I will be very grateful. I am done for the night, too much beer. :-)

Just taking another look, the A600 version would probably fit better as it would not interfere with Agnus and you can do the 2MB add-on with... (What's its name, LOL, can't remember.)" (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: E-Mail client Iris, beta version 62
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails.

The program requires MorphOS 3.10. You can give feedback to the author using the corresponding discussion on MorphZone.

New Features include:
  • Implemented forwarding messages as attachments
  • Nice folder icons, icons for failed/draft messages in the Outgoing folder
  • Folder settings (accessible from menu)
  • It is now possible to create and delete IMAP folders
  • Closed state of a folder tree is now serialized
Also fixed:
  • INBOX folder wouldn't always be detected correctly (happened on Yahoo)
  • Fixed sending of emails from accounts that had no Drafts/Sent folder
  • Fixed the 'view in external browser' feature (for attachments)
  • Fixed a UTF-7 decoder bug (caused Greek GMail to fail, for example)
  • Fixed a crash when parsing a server-side modified folder structure
  • Fixed a scroll-to-top issue when progressively adding list entries while scrolling
  • Fixed a crash in session shutdown/resource tracking

MorphOS: WebRadio.sbar 1.5
WebRadio.sbar is another screenbar for MorphOS written by Thomas Igracki. The program is based on Grzegorz Kraszewski's CgmRadio 2.0 and can play Internet radio station streams. But it is required that the station uses the ShoutCast protocol of the MPEG audio format (usually MP3, MPEG-1 Layer III) - streams of other formats like Ogg Vorbis, WMA or AAC+ cannot be decoded.

In the interview the developer has announced an text editor for programmers called struct which will be not an entire IDE but "fast and sleek".

Furthermore he complained about "the lack of development from Hyperion". He wrote: "I submitted a bug report for the listbrowser.gadget class over two years ago. It was fixed right away. But it still has not been released to the public. It makes WEx look bad, but I can't do anything about it. Driving me nuts. Release it!" (snx) (Translation: dr)

Hyperion Entertainment: Update to AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
Press release: Brussels, July 8, 2019 - Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is pleased to announced the immediate availability of AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 as a free update to AmigaOS 3.1.4 released in September 2018.

Since then, some bugs were found and functionality reviewed. We are therefore providing updates that address those issues in order to improve the user experience and also added more workarounds to improve compatibility with some oddly behaving programs.

This is mainly a bugfix update to AmigaOS 3.1.4, however a few small features managed to slip-in:
  • Danish (dansk) and swedish (svenska) AmigaOS catalogs
  • Setpatch now has the ability to load both an audio.device and a Shell-Seg update by itself
  • Audio.device got improved compatibility with some non-standard programming practices
  • HDToolBox now suggests more adequate block sizes for large drives
  • CrossDOS is now more tolerant to wrongly configured mountlists and foreign character sets
Of course, we managed to address many more bug fixes. The change log is more than 260K large and covers components such as the CDFileSystem, the new intution support, audio device, disk support (Format, FastFileSystem and HDToolBox), the Shell, several AmigaDOS commands, DiskDoctor, and many more components.

AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 is available as free download from the restricted download area to all registered customers of AmigaOS 3.1.4.

Hyperion Entertainment CVBA wants to send kudos to all involved persons for making this update happen. Thanks guys! (snx)

According to an update published in Belgium's official company publication, Hyperion issued a significant number of new shares. As detailed in a notary's statement dated June 20th, 2019, when approving the annual financial statement dated December 30th, 2018 and exonerating the directors afterwards, the shareholders decided to go for a capital increase in return for stock.

This capital increase consists of 398.970 Euro, of which 397.110 Euro are from Ben Hermans and 1.860 Euro from Timothy De Groote. In return, the two investors are granted 2135 (Hermans) and 10 (De Groote) newly issued Hyperion shares, which reduces the percental ownership of the other shareholders accordingly: Hyperion's capital stock was raised from 18.600 Euro to 417.570 Euro - previously all shareholders combined, including Ben Hermans and Timothy De Groote, owned 100 shares, now there are 2245 shares of which Ben Hermans owns at least 2135.

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.31
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser (including Odyssey). Any kind of feedback the author Michael Rupp would very appreciate. His work can be supported by a donation from inside TAWS.


Changes of version 0.31:
  • Tribute to OS 3.1.4:
    • new preset "OS 3.1.4"
    • new iconset "3.1.4"
    • neues pattern "AmigaOS 3.1.4"
    • Workbench functionality like OS 3.5, f.e. keyboard control, live moving of window content using the scrollbars, closing all windows by clicking the close gadget while holding the right Amiga key (right Alt key in TAWS), etc.
    • simulation of 3.1.4 specific details , f.e. although windows can be moved out of the screen, their width cannot be larger than the screen width.
    • new kickstart image when cancelling the "TAWS Early Preset Selection"
    • adjusted "Amiga Early Startup Control"
    • adjusted "Boot With No Startup-Sequence"
  • Complete swedish localization - many thanks to Kenneth Hansson
  • MultiView: support for playling the following music module formats .mod (Sound-/Protracker), .xm (FastTracker II) and .s3m (ScreamTracker 3) thanks to the newly integrated JavaScript MOD player.
    Many many thanks to Jani Halme for his brilliant webaudio player: https://mod.haxor.fi
    It's even possible to play your local files, either by starting "MultiView" and selecting a file or by drag'n'dropping a file in an already opened MultiView window.
  • MultiView: support for displaying TIFF files in the following browser that support this natively: Internet Explorer, MS Edge and Safari. Where available, an according icon has been added to the iconsets and there's a new test image located at "Test Suite:Image-Test/Marbles.tif".
  • When decreasing the browser's window size it's now ensured that windows on the bottom and on the right side stay visible. They are now moved in a way that their title bars are visible in any case.
  • Amiga Early Startup Control: simulation of the flickering when changing from PAL to NTSC and vice versa incl. divergent version for OS 3.1.4 and 3.9.
  • Reworked the kickstart screen to be pixel exact.
  • MagicMenuPrefs: added "Settings / Slider Color Model / RGB/FSH" in the menu.
  • Bugfixes:
    • "Clean up" of a window now works correctly, even if its content has been scrolled to the left or the top using the arrow gadgets.
    • Fixed rounding differences when calculating the size of the scrollbar knobs. These showed when using the arrow gadgets to scroll.
    • OS version <= 3.1: show message in screenbar if trying to rename a left out icon.
    • OS version > 3.1: deactive menuitem "Rename" for left out icons.
    • Fixed the shortcuts in the windows "Parse AmigaGuide" and "Set alarm" (bug since v0.30).
    • Palette: fixed the shortcuts for "Red", "Green" and "Blue" after switching the color model from "HSB" and back to "RGB" (bug since v0.30).
    • Palette: the color wheel is again anchored to the top (bug since v0.30).
    • Prefs windows: on labels and button texts the browser's default pointer was shown instead of the Amiga pointer (bug since v0.30).
    • MultiView: fixed minimal window size according to the current wndow layout.
    • MultiView: loading a local file by running MultiView or using the its menuitem "Open" works again (bug since v0.30).
    • MultiView: loading of files having an apostrophe in their filename works now.
    • Parse Amiga Guide: button "Load local file..." works again (bug since v0.30).
    • Miscellanious fixes in the translations of menuitems and deviations for OS 4.x.

Hollywood with Remedios 1.0 also available for iOS

Press release: The silly season just got serious! Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce that Hollywood has just landed on iOS. After the phenomenal success of the Hollywood APK Compiler Airsoft Softwair is now back on your screen with Remedios, a brand-new Hollywood add-on that allows you to turn your Hollywood applets into stand-alone iOS apps.

Remedios is the ultimate remedy against all of your iOS worries because it simplifies the creation of iOS apps to a great extent. In fact, it only takes a few mouse clicks to convert a Hollywood applet into an iOS app. Creating iOS applications has never been easier than with Remedios!

Remedios ships as an Xcode framework that can load and run Hollywood applets. It also comes with detailed instructions that will guide you through the process of converting Hollywood applets to iOS apps step by step - programming skills are not required. This allows even non-programmers to convert their Hollywood applets into stand-alone iOS apps, which can then be made available to other users, for example by uploading them to Apple's App Store.

Here are some more features of Remedios:
  • supports real iOS devices (arm, arm64)
  • supports Xcode's iOS simulators (x86, x64)
  • Hollywood plugins are fully supported
  • Hollywood plugins can be embedded in iOS apps
  • Hollywood scripts can call into custom native code written in Objective-C
  • data files can be embedded in iOS apps
Remedios is now available for purchase from the official Hollywood portal. Note that you'll require a macOS system with Xcode 8.2 (available for free from Apple) or better to use Remedios. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: SketchBlock Pro 3.3
"SketchBlock is a powerful digital painting package for AmigaOS 4.1, offering smooth, responsive tools to create images in High Dynamic Range colour" developed by Andy Broad. Since version 3, SketchBlock has become a commercial software and can be purchased in the Amistore. For users of this version a free update is available.

Changes of version 3.3:
  • Dynamic loading of brush data: The full set of brushes can use up to 100 MB of memory when loaded on startup, so now brushes are loaded on demand
  • Add Erase filter: This allows eraseing selected areas of layers to the background colour/transparent; some standard menu items using this function
  • Textures: Drawing operations can now be modified by a texture. Any layer can be used as a texture, but a custom list of dedicated texture layers is also maintained. Some example textures cane be loaded via the new textures menu. Currently only the paint tool supports the texture operation, and this can be enabled via two new switches at the bottom of it's settings.
