`14.May.2013` Facebook (ANF)	Keyboard and joystick adapter: Keyrah V2 Press release: Keyrah lets you use keyboards and joysticks of classic computers on the USB port of a modern PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. We have given our popular product a complete makeover and we'll be able to serve the increased demand starting may 20th, 2013. The most important change in version 2 is that there is no difference between country-specific keyboard layouts any more. Also, Keyrah V2 does not make a difference between 8-bit computers and Amiga any more: The different versions and layouts can now be chosen with a jumper setting. The following keyboard models are supported out of the box: C64 (all models) VC-20 C16 Amiga 1200 Amiga 600 The following keyboards can be used with some soldering and added parts (available separately): C128D C128 C116, plus/4 In addition to the keyboard, you can use up to two digital joysticks that behave as if the user would press keys on a keyboard. The first version of Keyrah was already equipped with a replica switch that resembled the C64 power switch. It was used to choose between one of two keyboard layouts: One for everyday use, and the other for use in an emulator. This switch is also available on Keyrah V2, and it has a third non-latching position: If you press and hold the switch in this position for more than one second, the ACPI-signal is sent to the computer, which will either shut down, or go into a power saving mode, depending on the settings in your operating system. Keyrah V2 is shipped in retail packing with a short manual. An off-the-shelve USB cable is required separately. The recommended retail price of Keyrah V2 is 34,90 EUR (recommended retail price including 19% VAT. Price and VAT rate may differ in your country. Shipping cost may be added.). Just like with the first version of Keyrah, we would like to emphasize that we cannot support gutting out functional classic computers. Keyrah V2 is only meant for giving new life to keyboards of irrepairably defective C64, Amiga or other computers. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 14.

`10.May.2013`	Cloanto: Amiga Forever 2013 (2nd Update) The complete emulation package Amiga Forever has been updated to version 2013 today - as usual there are three different versions. New features in Amiga Forever 2013: All Windows versions now come with a Windows Installer download (no need to burn or mount an ISO image to access the installer, or to wait for postal delivery) New Build Image feature (Tools menu of Plus Edition), to create personalized ISO images (burn to CD or DVD) and portable environments (e.g. to run from USB storage). This is similar to the "old" Amiga Forever media, except that the content can now be updated and customized Support for third-party "RP-Image" templates, to generate bootable content, etc. Documentation is available New Restore System Files feature (Tools menu) to reset shared components (Amiga ROM and OS files, system RP9s, etc.) New RP9 thumbnail provider for Windows is pure eye candy. This accompanies new and faster Open, Edit and Convert to RP9 commands accessible directly from File Explorer, to offer a better content experience outside the player New visual Screen Clip Editor, for easy adjustment of Amiga screen mode settings WinFellow is now available as an additional RetroPlatform-enabled emulation plugin. You can click any compatible title and select "Play with/WinFellow", or select plugin priority and additional options in the Amiga Forever Emulation settings Updated AROS and other content Enhanced RP9 Editor, with new media mount options and dozens of new features Integration with social networks for "Now Playing" updates, manual posts and screenshot uploads Further information for upgraders can be found in the Knowledge Base. Update: (17:44, 10.05.13, snx) As Cloanto has announced meanwhile, customers who purchased the previous version on or after March 1st, 2013, are being e-mailed instructions to receive a free upgrade. An extra five dollar/euro upgrade discount coupon is being e-mailed to registered customers. 2nd Update: (19:26, 11.05.13, snx) To clarify on the discount, it is on top of the reduced upgrade price. So, if the regular price for the Plus Edition is 29.95, and the regular upgrade 20.00, with the coupon (5.05 off) it's 14.95 for a limited time. Below you will find the official press release that has been published meanwhile: Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013 May 10, 2013 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2013 and C64 Forever 2013, the latest versions of the award-winning Commodore-Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows. The 2013 editions for Windows had a focus on making the software easier to use, while providing new and more powerful features for advanced users and content creators. For example, the packages are easier to download and install, and emulated systems can be "repaired" with one click after unintended changes. Power users can now build ISO images and portable USB drive environments, use the visual Screen Clip Editor to better blend old screen modes into modern systems, or experiment with the new WinFellow emulation plugin or with a fresh build of the AROS Research OS. Outside the player, the RP9 thumbnail handler adds a new level of eye candy to File Explorer. "One of the most fascinating challenges of user interface design has to be how to please both novice and sophisticated users. The attempt to keep things as simple as possible often limits learning and can be perceived as a 'dumbing down' by a more demanding audience," noted Cloanto's Mike Battilana. "Even looking at recent versions of Windows, Mac OS and Linux, you can feel the pain of some choices. In today's search engines, queries that used to work reliably have become less precise. Word processors won't let you select the exact characters you want. Lacking perfect artificial intelligence, we are increasingly being autocorrected beyond recognition. C64 Forever brings us back to an era in which users knew that they were, or could be, in complete control of the machine, rather than vice versa. Tens of millions of home computers came with a powerful reminder of this, as they included a programming manual. Even today, the Amiga continues to inspire for how it elegantly met the needs of different audiences, leaving a feeling of freedom rather than one of artificial limitations. In addition to preserving access to a digital culture of tens of thousands of games, demoscene creations and other titles, we are trying to introduce new generations to these different angles, as we are convinced that this deeper perspective can help achieve a better view of the future too." In Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013, the same interface transparently connects to three different emulation engines, giving consistent access to more than 25 computer models, all with fully licensed operating systems. The shared RP9 file format makes titles easily portable across computers and software versions. While novice users only need to press Play, advanced users can Edit titles and browse through options that are designed to also help understand how the software works. Amiga Forever 2013 is available now in three editions: Value Edition (downloadable installer) Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image) Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs) C64 Forever 2013 is available now in three editions: Free Express Edition (feature-limited version) Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image) Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed CD) Amiga Forever and C64 Forever passed official Windows 8 logo tests on both x86 and x64 systems. Prices for both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever start from $9.95 (special upgrade offers). Registered customers who purchased a previous version of the software on or after March 1, 2013 are being sent instructions to download a free update. (snx) [News message: 10.

`07.May.2013` PPA (ANF)	Pencil and paper game: Cropky Cropky is an Amiga version of Dots - an abstract strategy game played by two people on a sheet of squared paper. The rules are a bit different from original Dots game - your aim is not to capture enemy dots but to link two dots together with a line drawn in any direction you want as long as you don't cross already existing lines or you have to draw another line (the dot is visible not farther than one square distance - vertically, horizontally or diagonally). Cropky is a conversion of a game under the same title for Atari XL/XE. The original idea comes from Krzysztof 'Kaz' Ziembik who was persuaded to give permission to create Amiga version by Mariusz 'Ramos' Rozwadowski. With the abilities and knowledge of Adam Stach (programmer), Piotr 'Piesiu' Radecki (graphics) and Piotr 'Pece' Cieślik (music) they created a game running on any Amiga with at least 1 MB of RAM. The game can be downloaded as ADF file or LHA archive. The manual so far is Polish only. (snx) [News message: 07. May. 2013, 12:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`06.May.2013`	Indivision AGA Mk2: Config Tool 1.1, Core 2.6 Individual Computers has released an update for the configuration tool of the scandoubler Indivision AGA Mk2. With this update it is now possible to save complete configurations and to switch back to the last saved configuration with the Undo-function. Additionally a software update of the "core" of the scandoubler was released which fixes some bugs: Counters for upper and lower padding areas have been corrected: The number of lines on the output side is now correct, even if black borders need to be added at the top and bottom. if the output side has reached the end of pixel data in memory, it has ended the line prematurely. This lead to an unexpected increase of output frequencies. These new cores now insert black pixels until the user-set number of output pixels is reached. In other words: Even if you enter an insanely large output window that the Amiga does not output, the frequency that the config tool displays will be met. the blue colour component was shifted to the right - fixed in this core. the lower 4 bits of the green colour component was taken from the neighbouring pixel, which is also fixed in V2.6. the critical path of pixel data going into and out of the memory chip has been shortened: The flickering vertical red line does not appear any more. some power settings of the FPGA were way too high. These have been reduced to the required minimum, so the FPGA does not crash any more when higher pixel clocks are being used. the two rightmost pixels of the screen were not displayed at all, which is corrected in V2.6. If you still see a vertical red line at the right border, then this is an indicator that you are trying to view a part of the screen that is already way outside the overscan area. Although the Amiga does not output this line the way that Indivision dosplays it, we will NOT fix this. Instead, you should set the output window size to a sane amount of pixels that comes halfway close to what the Amiga is generating. Another way of fixing that red line is to use the tool Borderblank: This will also get rid of the red line. Direct download: MK2_CFG_V11.lha (2,7 MB) (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 06.

`05.May.2013` Alinea Computer (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: StormC5-Editor available Press release: Wehrheim, Germany, May 5th, 2013. - We are glad to present the first component of the StormC5 IDE, StormC5ED. In the tradition of the previous versions, we placed high values in the development of StormC5ED ensuring the popular Amiga look-and-feel. We set high prorities on high speed and modern editor functionalities. Due to the intensive use of operating system functions of AmigaOS 4.1, StormC5ED is available exclusively for the new Amiga operating system and will be further aligned it in the future. We would like to point out that much of the Proceeds of the StormC5 editor will be incorporated in the future development of the StormC5 environment. Join now, in a new kind of editing on AmigaOS 4.x! StormC5ED is available via download or CD. The download version costs only 29,95 Euro and the CD version 34,95 Euro. Order at once from our Online-Shop. The following outstanding capabilities are offered by the new StormC5ED: Amiga-Look-and-Feel: All keyboard shortcuts correspond to the AmigaOS specifications, toolbar images are supported, tooltips, etc. AppWindow/AppIcon support: Dragging a file icon in an editor window or on the editor appicon will open that file. Extreme fast syntax highlighing: Lightning fast syntax highlighting, Recognized words can be highlighted with colour and/or font attributes. File classes: The driver for the syntax highlightning are applied as external modules. As a result, the editor is extensible for future tasks. File classes do currently exist for the following languages: C/C++ (minimum requirement SDK 53.20), Catalog-Descriptions (for use with CatComp), AmigaGuide(R), ARexx Definitionbar: For recognized words the relevant definition/Quick-Help is displayed. Bookmarks: In a document an umlimited number of bookmarks can be set and jumped to with a keyboard shortcut. Folding parts of a document via definable fold marks: For example, so in C/C++ files, the method bodies are folded away for clarity and better readability of the code. MDI- or TDI-Userinterface: Texts can be displayed either in a separate window for each text (MDI - multiple document interface) or all together in a single window with Tab control (TDI - Tabbed Document Interface). Automatic indentation (atm. only for C/C++): On typing of a character that initiates or terminates a block, the editor can react with different variations to increase or reduce the indentation ("keep your source code clean and tidy"). Visualization of tabulators, spaces and linefeeds: Optional displaying of these characters to find missing tabs in a "makefile", for example. The GUI of the editor is available in 7 languages: In the basic package, the StormC5Ed interface has already been translated into 7 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish and Russian are currently available. Other languages will follow. More information about StormC5ED find you at our product website. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 05.

`23.Apr.2013` Michael C. Battilana (e-mail)	Cloanto: Amiga Forever Essentials for Android Press release: April 23, 2013 - Cloanto, publishers of Amiga Forever since 1997, is announcing today the immediate availability of Amiga Forever Essentials on Google Play. The release marks the first of a planned series of "Essentials" packages for different platforms, in which officially licensed Amiga ROM and OS files are made available for programmatic access by a diversity of open-source emulation engines. For the Android release, Cloanto worked closely with the developers of UAE4Droid, AnUAE4All, UAE4All2 and other apps to make sure that the Amiga system files are autodetected and easy to use. "We are grateful for the fact that Google Play is open-minded about emulators and GPL components. As such, Android was our ideal candidate for the initial release in the Amiga Forever Essentials series", said Cloanto President Mike Battilana. "This makes it possible to keep Amiga emulation accessible, enjoyable and legal in ways that are not always within reach for other systems or platforms." Amiga Forever Essentials unlocks the potential of different Amiga emulation apps designed for Android, making it possible to play thousands of Amiga titles on Amiga OS versions 1.2, 1.3, 2.04, 3.0 and 3.1 in emulated computers like the Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200. Bonus content like Workbench 1.3 and First Demos disk images let Amiga enthusiasts enjoy memorable classics such as the 1984 Boing demo. The app is available now for only $0.99 on the Google Play store. For developers, there is also information on shared system files on Android devices. (snx) [News message: 23.

`23.Apr.2013` Amiga Future (Webseite)	AmigaOS 4: 8-bit emulator Atari++ 1.72 Atari++ emulates Atari's 8-bit homecomputer as well as the game console Atari 5200. The AmigaOS-4-port was written by Ventzislav 'drHirudo' Tzvetkov, supports AmigaInput and can be controlled with joysticks. Changes: The binary file loader automatically generated when inserting a COM or EXE into the disk drive and booting from it is now much shorter and requires a lot less RAM. It requires now, however, an additional ESCape code and hence emulator support. This will now also load binary files that require RAM from 0x800 and up This release adds support for ATX files and includes an emulation of the disk drive timing, handling of bad and duplicate sectors and a more precise emulation of the SIO timing An additional type of watch point was added: The default watch point now only reacts on memory writes, whereas the new watch point continues to react on reads and writes Experimented a lot with the timing of the GTIA Prior writing and found that the currently implemented logic is actually very close to the real system, additional delay cycles make results only worse, not better. Thus, leaving it as it is right now The SDL StringGadget now reacts on Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Delete and erases its contents on this keyboard command Added emulation for "stuck" Player/Missile shift registers when switching from 4x or 2x expansion to the size register "2" value, which is almost, but not quite 1x expansion The built-in Os blocks NMIs now early in the reset cycle and by that tries to work around bad display lists left over by buggy programs Minor modification in the built-in FMS (Dos 2.++): CONFIG.SYS can now change the position of the FMS buffers by poking into DiskBufferBase $710,$711 and relocate them Minor modification of the short VBI: GPrior, ColBK and Col1 are now only reloaded if the graphics mode really requires it. This applies to fine scrolling text modes, and the text window modes with the GTIA modes (modes 9+64,10+64 and 11+64). This fixes compatibility issues with Atari Tennis and some Lucasfilms intros Minor modifications in the FMS: Rename with wildcard was broken, and the FMS no longer tries to load non-valid VTOCs The DUP COPY command avoids now trying to overwrite BASIC program memory or other user memory protected correctly by setting APPMEMHI. Some cartridges do not set this Os pointer correctly, though. Mac/65 does not. The new DUP command NEW will erase user memory and make it available for COPY Fixed a long standing bug of all Dos 2.XX compatible FMS'es: Directory reading mode did not cooperate with any other operations that would access the directory, and would invalidate the directory access channel. This is no longer the case now. Additionally, reading the directory sets now the EOF warning flag (Y = 3) correctly right before the EOF The STATUS command, as specified by DOS 2.0S and DOS 2.5, was actually quite unuseful as it required a file specification which was never supplied by BASIC. The new implementation returns the status of the last CIO command on the same channel if the channel is open, allowing BASIC for example to access the near-EOF warning return code (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 23.

`22.Apr.2013`	MorphOS counter: inofficial chart illustrates the MorphOS sales since 2008 Shortly after the release of MorphOS 2, MorphOS users started posting the serial numbers of their newly acquired MorphOS license in a thread on morphzone.org. As the serial numbers seem to increase in a linear fashion, most people assume that the latest assigned serial number also represents the number of MorphOS copies sold so far. Konrad 'koszer' Czuba is regularly using the available serial numbers to create a chart that illustrates the number of MorphOS sales since 2008 (click on the picture to display it in full size): We are not aware of statements from the MorphOS team regarding the validity of the numbers discussed here. Thanks to Konrad Czuba for the kind permission to publish his chart. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 22. Apr. 2013, 16:01] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`18.Apr.2013` amigafuture.de (Webseite)	Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.2.2 (update) Frode Solheim's FS-UAE for Windows, OS X, Linux and BSD is based on WinUAE and can be controlled with a joypad. Changes in version 2.2.1: Show on-screen warning if OpenAL device cannot be opened, log OpenAL error code. New option save_state_compression can be used to disable save statecompression. New option “log” which can be used to enable misc types of debug logging. Queued input events are processed in hsync handler. Use CD32 + FMV quickstart for CD32 model, update cd.device in cartridge ROM fixes problem with Pirates Gold intro. Removed a couple of left-over / unnecesary log statements. Support language option to override GUI language. New translations: tr [Decypher]. (Launcher) Fixed bug when specifying window_width / window_height in custom settings. (Launcher) Warn when using A1200 model with < 2 MB chip RAM. (Launcher) Fixed a bug where 0-byte screenshot / covers files could be stored if a network error occurs while downloading. (Launcher) Better support for A3000 and A4000 with the game database. (Launcher) Support hiding variants from the database based on _status. (Launcher) Cycle-exact can be disabled from database if abs. necessary. (Launcher) Support language option to override GUI language. (Launcher) New translations: tr [Decypher]. Update: (20.04.2013, 17:30, cg) Meanwhile version 2.2.2 of the emulator is available: With video_sync = auto, allow some slack when deciding to enable full sync or not (accept host refresh rate 49 instead of just 50, ..). New option: assume_refresh_rate (int) to manually specify host refresh rate when refresh rate detection fails. This option in combination with video_sync = auto effectively replaces video_sync = full. video_sync = full is now an alias for video_sync = auto. Fixed bug causing FS-UAE to hang when pausing with video_sync = off. New model CD32/FMV (includes FMV ROM), CD32 model reverted to original. Fixed compatibility issues in scanline GLSL shaders.

In the "The Amiga Years" the author tried to find out why "a computer now widely regarded as having been five years ahead of its competition, failed so spectacularly in the marketplace".

`15.Apr.2013` Andreas Falkenhahn (ANF)	TIFF-Plugin for Hollywood Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5 - Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and save images in the TIFF format. TIFF is a format that offers lossless compression and the possibility to store images with alpha channels. Although many Amiga systems already have a TIFF datatype installed, it's still recommended to install this plugin because OS4's TIFF datatype doesn't support alpha channel graphics and saving via datatypes is also problematic on many systems. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google's Android platform are provided.
