Google and Cloanto release Amiga emulator for Chrome browser
Together with Cloanto, Google released a port of the Amiga emulator UAE for Chrome, utilizing the Portable Native Client (PNaCl) for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Chrome OS. This way the PNa-Client requests the corresponding C programs from Google's servers and translates the commands into the native code of the platform the browser is currently running on.
The demo version for Chrome 31+ at the title link can be upgraded for 74 Cent by Cloanto's Amiga Forever Essentials. They include Kickstart versions 1.2, 1.3 as well as 2.04 and enable usage of ADF disk images.

- 2 MB of physical RAM, entirely available for applications (minus 512 KB if MapROM is used)
- external expansion, no need to open the A500
- two Compact Flash card slots (each one of them bootable and able to read/write Amiga or PC formatted cards)
- trapdoor memory expansions up to 1.8 MB FastMem still work (including RTC)
- ChipMem expansions still work
- custom expansion port for local hardware (14 MHz 16-bit, double Zorro speed)
- clock port for hardware expansions, e.g. for Silversurfer or Catweasel Mk2
- optionally expandable by adding an ACA-1220 / ACA-1231 / ACA-1232 card

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 17.2
Using WHDLoad, you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups on your harddisk that were not compatible with anything but floppy disks.
Changes in version 17.2:
- fix: cancelling directory preload (in the splash window pressing
Esc or changing a option forcing restart) could cause memory
list corruption
- new: support for Zeus68k pseudo vbr added, allows to quit by key
similar like a moved vector base, but only on interrupts not
on exceptions
- new: on AGA machines all color registers are read from the custom
chips and written to the dump file
- fix: WHDLoadCD32 works again with resload_DiskLoad, was broken in
version 17.1 (issue #2633)
- chg: utility ITD can now read files larger than 4 GiB (e.g. on
SFS\2) and write to larger devices using TD64
- chg: alignment for patch lists (resload_Patch/Seg) is now verified
by WHDLoad to avoid problems on 68000/10
- chg: the check for valid custom.aud*ptr introduced in version 17.1
can now be enabled via the new option ChkAudPt/S
- fix: on Kickstart 2.0 (V37) option NoMemReverse/S is now always
active to avoid problems which could lead to freezing during
Preload or other memory allocations
- chg: memory allocations improved if NoMemReverse/S is active, now
these will succeed also if memory below BaseMemSize is free
by trying to allocate until memory is above
- fix: preload progress bar fixed on Kickstart 2.0 (V37), was using
a V39 only utility.library function
- new: added IF/ELSE/ENDIF conditional blocks to patch lists to
simplify the handling of patches depending on ButtonWait/S and
Custom1-5/N options (resload_Patch/Seg)
- chg: detection of HRTmon builtin WinUAE improved to support if MMU
protection is enabled with WHDLoad (CFOU!)
- chg: options NTSC/PAL can be set global and local now, where the
local one (CLI/Tooltype) will overwrite the global one
(configuration file S:WHDLoad.prefs)
- new: WHDLoad now sets the screen mode in HRTmon to the video mode
specified for the installed program, with that HRTmon will
always uses the same video mode (PAL/NTSC) as WHDLoad, for
correct operation at least HRTmon version 2.35 is required
- chg: audio.device is only opened when present in execs device list,
this saves some memory if it isn't initilized already
- chg: install script template now supports also the diskimage
device by Fredrik Wikstrom (Psygore)
- chg: option FullChip/S can also set globally now
- new: support for interrupt vector redirect feature of ACA500 on
68000 added
- chg: added a kludge to preserve the largest free memory block until
PreLoad in situations where multiple small free blocks are
available to increase the likelihood of being able to cache a
large disk image

With Christian 'lallafa' Vogelgsang's plipbox it is possible to get an Amiga into the network. The Arduino-based adapter provides a connection to the ethernet-port of the Arduino board using the parallel port. The magPLIP-protocol is used.
With version 0.5 the MAC address is received automatically and an optional full-duplex-support is provided.

Amedia Computer announces USB-keyboard with real Amiga-keys
During the next weeks the French trader Amedia Computer will offer USB-keyboards in black or beige/white which are equipped with real Amiga-keys - in the past, similar projects only used Windows-keys with labels.
A picture made available by Amedia shows some more changes compared with an usual PC-keyboard:
The "menu"-key became a BoingBall-key and either the ScrollLock or the Ende-key are additionally labeled with "Help". Besides, the curly brackets are placed again above the numeric keypad.
Keyboard layouts for Great Britain (QWERTY) and French (AZERTY) are supposed to be available, but a German version is not planned. Amedia did not specify which company will produce the keyboards.
The keyboards have an USB-port and will be exclusively sold by Amedia. Preordered, the keyboard costs 199 Euro. The normal price is about 220 Euro.

Floppy-Emulator: Raspberry pi as disk drive replacement
The Italian Maurizo Ramondo has replaced the disk drive of his Amiga 500 by a Raspberry Pi: The single-board computer was connceted to the internal floppy port of the Amiga with a simple adapter developed by Ramondo and in this way emulates two disk drives.
As data medium the SD-card of the Raspberry Pi is used - the credit-card-sized computer was put in the A500, so it is accessable through the original disk drive slot. The emulated floppy is ready seven seconds after booting the Amiga because Ramondo did not want to use Linux and instead of it uses a self developed programm, which has 240 KB.
After a reset, the Amiga boots a setup programm. There you can assign one or several ADF-images to the emulated drives. While operating you can switch between the ADF-files with a key.
The developer made available all documents as well as the software on his website for free.

MorphOS: Islands Mini-Golf 1.5
In 2008 the game Islands Mini-Golf was released for Mac OS X as Shareware and now is also available for free for MorphOS. A French review you can find at Obligement.
Islands Mini-Golf requires a 3D video card as well as 128 MB RAM and features 5 themes with 90 tracks for up to four players. In the MorphOS-version there are some graphics bug (missing textures) and the online hiscores does not work. The game uses the full power of the processor, possibly caused by using PowerSDL.

Under the title link on Power2poeople.org, a bounty project for releasing Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly's web browser Odyssey under an open-source-licence was established which would make it possible to adapt it to AmigaOS 4 and AROS.
Earlier versions of his browser the author already released for free. But these versions cannot play e.g. HTML5-videos. This fearture Fabien Coeurjoly developed himself; there is not any other Amiga implemenation for that except the (still unsatisfying) Firefox/Timberwolf. Alternative browsers for different operating systems are open-source but often overdependent (Chrome) or bloated (Webkit-GTK), or not open-source (Apple Quicktime for the Mac-version of Webkit or the Windows-implementation).

Event: First reports of Alchimie X (update)
On the first day of the Alchimie X in France, there were the following news about Minimig and AmigaOS 4:
- The announced software surprise for AmigaOS 4.1 was a DVD with over 70 game ports provided by Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel.
- Secondly, ACube Systems lifted the secret about the "MiniMig+", which is as fast as a 68030-processor with 30 MHz. An ARM-chip, 32 MB RAM (can be upgraded up to 64 MB), 8 MB chip-RAM, two USB-ports, network connection, realtime clock, two SD-card readers and 18-Bit-video output are integrated. The FPGA is twice as big as before and thus sufficiently big for an AGA-core. It will be half as large as the Mini-ITX-format. The project will be not finished in near future.
- Additional to the DVD, Hugues Nouvel has released five new games for AmigaOS 4.1, which are mainly Egoshooter (World Of Padman, a new version of ioQuake, Smokin'Guns, Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and Tremulous) as well as the puzzle game Dale Hardshovel.
Update:
- On Sunday for MorphOS 3.4 the following facts have been announced:
- Support of non-native PowerBook screen resolutions
- Improved support of R300-based graphic boards (Radeon 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800)
- Highly improved AGP-transfer rates on G5-computers (by a factor of 5, up to 1,2 GB/s) and bug fixed 16-Bit screen resolutions
- Improved network-stack (speed and configuration)
- Password protection of the screen (during booting the computer or after inactivity)
- MorphOS 3.5 will be a bug fix release
- MorphOS 3.6 is supposed to include the following components:
- Support of modern graphic boards
- Support of further G5-models
- Javascript-JIT for Odyssey-Webbrowser
- CUPS-Integration
- SSHFS and SMBFS via FUSE

Indivision AGA Mk2: Inofficial SuperPlus configuration file
For the Flickerfixer Indivision AGA Mk2 an inofficial configuration file for using the monitor driver SuperPlus has been released (version 40.5 of the driver must be installed in Sys:Devs/Monitors).
The file has been not completely finished and may cause minor problems - e.g. the boot picture does not fit the full screen and is not centered. It must be chosen in the preferences programm of the Indivision and then set in the Workbench-preferences of the screen mode "SuperPlus HighResLaced (800x600)".
With the same configuration file, HighGFX can be used as well. Only the default setting 1024x768 must be deactivated and instead the screen resolution 800x600 in the Workbench-preferences used.

Putty Squad: Release failed due to disks
After the announcement to make available the so far unreleased full version of the Amiga game Putty Squad (amiga-news.de reported) and after our unanswered requests, if it might be the well-known demo version handele, System 3 now back-pedals:
In a video interview with Eurogamer under the title link, the CEO, Mark Cale, told (from minute 7 on) that currently options are considered but the original project could not be put into action because nobody could create the Amiga-disks to then add them to the collector's edition of the new HD-version for PC, Mac and consoles.

MorphOS: First beta version of new printing system
Michal 'zukow' Zukowski is working on a port of parts of the CUPS-infrastructure for MorphOS, financed by a bounty. Meanwhile a first, very early beta version is available, which according to the author "sends tons of debug and can crash". Color profiles are not supported in this version.
Zukowski tries to port single CUPS printer driver (called "filter") to MorphOS and then to integrate them to the system. A preferences programm is included as well.
Currently Zukowski provides onyl drivers for Postscript-printer. In contrast to the MorphOS built-in system, his system supports diverse comfort and special functions of the connected devices (e.g. number of copies, scaling and desired printing quality etc.).

Darren Stevens made available version 3.11 of the Linux kernel for the AmigaOne X1000 (download site), which better supports power save modes of modern RadeonHD graphic chips and possibly can handle network packages faster.
Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has released the new archive openSUSE 12.3 for the X1000. The sound support (SigmaTel STAC92HD700) was added. Besides, now there is a separate directory for the 3.9.8.1SuSE kernel modules.

AmigaOS 4: File manager Dir Me Up 2.10
Jérôme 'Glames' Senay has updated his commercial file manager for AmigaOS 4.1, Dir Me Up, to version 2.10. The most important changes:
- Display "toast" messages for cut/copy/paste/deletion processes
- During the copy process, the path is shown in the first progess bar and the file in the second one
- You can now change the selected types of volumes and volumes from the keyboard
- When only a single file/drawer is archived, it provides a default archive name
- In the view by icon, icons are now displayed correctly, including files
- Fixed a display bug that occurred if the loading/resizing of an icon failed. This could result in huge lines or columns
- If a bookmark no longer exists, a message is displayed before deleting it automatically
- Updated Greek and Italian translation

AROS complete system AresOne (late 2013) and Ares Cube S available
According to Pascal Papara, the AROS-computers "ARES mini M1000" and M1600 are not available any longer. They were replaced by the ARES Cube S and the "new" AresOne. The date will no longer be part of the name, "late 2013" was only added for "marking" the new version.
The AresOne now has a faster processor and integrated WiFi, supported by AROS. A Gallium-compatible graphic board is standard.
Because Broadway and AEROS r4 are still in progress, IcAROS desktop is installed. Special wishes can be discussed before ordering it.
