Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.5.18dev (Update)
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD is based on WinUAE and can be completely controlled with a joypad. Since the last stable version released in March (2.4.1), so far only developer versions have been released.

Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.17dev:
  • Initial support for magic mouse / virtual mouse
  • New option mouse_integration (boolean) (Setting it to 1 implies cursor=0, automatic_input_grab=0)
  • New option cursor (boolean + auto)
  • Removed audio_buffer_target_bytes (use audio_buffer_target_size instead)
  • Changes to audio buffer fill logic
  • Measure fps internally with floating point numbers
  • Fixed cyberstormppc.rom lookup when using FS-UAE config file
  • Fixed ISO-8859-1 UTF-8 conversion (broke in 2.5.15dev)
  • Renamed testing option workbench -> workbenc_disk
  • Updated emulation core from WinUAE 2900b17
Known bugs:
  • The PearPC fallback may not work properly. Please make sure you are using the qemu-uae plugin (check in fs-uae.log.txt that it is loaded properly) if you’re having problems.
  • AmigaOS 4.1 w/Picasso IV => sometimes weird frame rate (~36 FPS)
  • When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time
  • Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now
  • On OS X, cursor movement is currently not received by FS-UAE when the window is not focused (either something SDL 2 or OS X itself does). This makes mouse integration a bit less useful.
Update: (18:17, 30.09.14, snx)
Meanwhile, version 2.5.18dev is available already. Changes can be found at the title link. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Tracker: DigiBooster 3.1
Press release: DigiBooster 3.1 has been released for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. DigiBooster 3.1 is available on CD-ROM and as download at the online shop of APC&TCP.

DigiBooster 3.1 follows the traditional tracker's way of making music with an advanced audio processing engine, and an up-to-date MUI based graphical user interface. It retains backward compatibility with its Amiga ancestor, DigiBooster Pro 2. On the other hand the program code has been written from scratch. Its modular design gives it a straightforward path for future development. Except for versions for classic Amiga computers, DigiBooster 3.1 is also compiled for PowerPC processors, taking advantage of their greater computing power.

DigiBooster 3.1 key features:
  • ProTracker modules import. DigiBooster 3.1 can load and play basic four track modules, as well as multichannel ones, up to 32 channels. Import quality is significantly better than in DigiBooster Pro 2.x
  • Autosaving. DigiBooster 3.1 can save in user defined periods of time and keep defined number of lately saved versions with autorotation
  • Finished block operations in the pattern editor. DigiBooster 3.1 supports multitrack blocks. Block operations are also available in the ARexx interface
  • ARexx commands for loading/importing the module and starting playback
  • New languages: French and Polish
How to get an update to version 3.1? The update from version 3.0 to 3.1 is available for free! Updates from older releases (DigiBooster Pro 2.x) are not possible.

Users who bought the download version before just have to login at the online-shop and simply download the current full version archive of DigiBooster 3.1.

Users with the CD-ROM version of DigiBooster 3.0 simply write an e-mail to info@apc-tcp.de with the following content:
  • Registration number (not serial number)
  • Complete postal address
  • Your e-mail address (the archive is about 3 MB in size)
You will get your update immediately via e-mail.

DigiBooster 3.1 system requirements:
  • AmigaOS 3.x:
    • Minimum: 68020, harddrive, 8 MB Fast RAM, Workbench 3.0, MUI 3.8, AHI 4.x, screenmode 640x480
    • Recommended: AmigaOS 3.x, 68060/50 MHz, 16 MB Fast RAM, graphics card, soundcard
    • Supports: WinUAE (JIT enabled) with Picasso96 and dedicated AHI drivers
  • AmigaOS 4:
    • Minimum: AmigaOS 4.0, harddrive, 128 MB RAM, MUI 3.9
    • Recommended: AHI compatible soundcard, 500+ MHz processor
  • MorphOS:
    • Minimum: MorphOS 2.7, harddrive, 128 MB RAM
    • Recommended: AHI compatible soundcard, 500+ MHz processor

  • Prepcard+ helps the user in managing other hardware on the PCMCIA port (Wifi, ethernet, modems and card readers)
  • Ned is a commodity that lets you close the active window by pressing the "Esc" key
  • Freewheel is a commodity that helps you in using the mouse wheel comfortably
  • Updated HardWiz: phase5 68060.library to latest v46.15
  • Updated icon.library to 46.4.385
  • Updated pfs3aio to v2.3 (28-05-2014)
  • HDToolBox is back (some users reported incompatibilities with HDinstTools)

  • EnvHandler is now offered as an option, and a warning message is displayed upon first install of BetterWB
  • Tweaked Magic Menu Prefs: Pull-Down and Pop-Up menu usage is better than Smart Select (Thanks Retrofan)
  • A few more minor fixes and tweaks

AROS: Port of version 1.23 of Odyssey web browser in progress
Currently Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Śmiechowicz is porting version 1.23 of the Webkit-based browser Odyssey developed by Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly to AROS. Version 1.16 was ported over two years ago but porting the latest version did not succeed due to missing support of certain MUI4-functionality of the AROS-reimplementation of MUI, called Zune.

The goal of the developer is to be able playing html-videos under AROS. An updated HTML-/JavaScript-engine has been already implemented. A first public version will be released together with version 2.0 of the AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop which is announced for mid-October/November. Users who support the this project are asked to donate money for the bounty project of Zune enhancement. (snx) (Translation: dr)

All old Inutilis games re-released
Timo Kloss wrote: I started programming on a Commodore Amiga computer when I was 12 and I made quite a lot of little games and even some applications. I used AMOS Basic, which was a cool thing to develop multimedia stuff without knowing a lot. Until 1996 I used the name Scum Amiga Software.

I think I found all more or less important AMOS projects on my hard disk and prepared usable ADFs from them (Amiga Disk Files). You can download them on this site and use them with emulators like WinUAE or real Amiga computers. "Der Rasenmäher" is a really funny game, but don't expect too much from the rest. I was young!

Internet-Radio / Podcast: Amiga Vibes plays scene music
Already in 2009, "Amiga Vibes" was founded. It is an Internet radio playing songs from the demo and warez scene. Additionally to a podcast, now also an audio stream is available twenty-four-seven.

On the website, the player is linked under "Radio" which requires Flash. The stream also can be played with some local players- the URL is listen.radionomy.com/amigavibes.m3u. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AROS Bounty for Qt-port
On power2people.org a bounty was established for the goal to port the C++ class library Qt to AROS. The conditions of the bounty are complied with, if the modules QtCore, QtNetwork, QtGui, QtScript and QtXml were ported. Additionally the Qt-based Youtube-browser SMTube must be available in a working version.

Currently AROS does not support dynamic linking of libraries. Therefore the port may be a Static Library. Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró again agreed to undertake the bounty - but will start his work after finishing his college which could last still nine months. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Reworked automatic monitor switcher for Radeon graphic boards
André 'Ratte' Pfeiffer has reworked his automatic monitor switcher for Radeon graphic boards which he introduced three years ago. The hardware automatically changes between the signal of the monitor of an Indivision Mk2 (the CR-version is not supported) and the signal of the Radeon board.

In this new version now one slot fewer is used, besides this, it has the same features. The switcher is controlled with Pfeiffer's tool SwitchControl. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS / AROS: Odamex 0.7.0
Odamex is a free, cross-platform modification of the Doom engine, that combines the features of Boom with some additional enhancements: The widescreen format is supported, the mouse can be used ("mouselook") and the player can jump.

The port was provided by Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró. He wrote: "The update includes the new 32-bit renderer as well as an experimental server browser: ag-odalaunch. It has many issues (the file browser is horribly broken), but you shouldn't have problems connecting to servers. It uses my new pthreads implementation, which is still in its infancy, that can be another source of instability."

New poll: What do you think about WinUAE's PPC emulation and AmigaOS 4?
WinUAE maintainer Toni Wilen has recently implemented a working emulation of Phase 5's PPC accelerator cards. The current version is just a proof of concept, but Wilen is already working on integrating the much faster CPU emulation core from QEMU to WinUAE.

This brings up an interesting question, which is already debated all over the forums: what effect would a reasonable fast PPC emulation in Amiga emulators have on AmigaOS 4? With our latest poll, we would like to determine what our readers think about this issue - you can vote here or just view the results. (cg) (Translation: cg)
