Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 2.4.1
As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE has provided a short preview to the next version. WinUAE 2.4.1 is supposed to be published during the next two weeks and mainly will fix minor bugs. Additionally there will be minor improvememnts like a CPU-brake for the JIT-mode.
New features and updates:
- Fastest possible CPU mode (including JIT) throttle option (-10% to -90%)
- Approximate CPU mode speed adjustment (-90% to 500%+). Replaces old CPU/Chipset adjustment
- Internal display buffering system rewritten, PAL/NTSC vertical centering, even better screen positiong in programmed modes
- Fullscreen (TV)/(Max) filter mode programmed mode and PAL/NTSC switching support
- Custom Input Event autofire support
- Switch to another monitor if multiple monitors with different resolutions and current RTG resolution is not supported by current monitor
- CDFS statefile support implemented
- Sound sync improved in approximate and cycle-exact modes
Bug fixes of version 2.4.0:
- CDFS directory listing crashed if ACTION_EXAMINE_ALL packet was used
- CDFS converted file names to lowercase even when CD included RockRidge or Joliet file names
- Fake 60Hz didn't work
- Software filters had very big slowdown in higher resolutions
- D3D overlay mask scaling artifacts in some resolutions
- D3D "CRT" filters had bad geometry
- Automatic resize resized continuously in interlaced modes
- Some USB joysticks had multiple buttons with same name
Bug fixes of older versions:
- Automatic scale/center/resize didn't work in ECS SuperPlus mode
- 68020 cycle-exact mode statefile reliability improved. (Random "CPU trace" errors)
- 0.5M Chip RAM was detected as 1M in JIT mode

Self build: Floppy-Autoloader
Archieving about 5000 Amiga disks is no fun - therefore blogger 'Dweller' has been looking for a solution to automate the process.
He used a commercial disk duplicator (CopyPro 2000) and converted it to a floppy autoloader which loads one disk after another, creates an image file and finally takes a picture if it ejects the disk (video).

AROS: Considerations on MorphOS-compatibility
The developer Jason McMullan who helped to make AROS compatible to the 68k-architecture and to create an AROS-Kickstart-ROMs, is looking for new challenge.
On the developer mailinglist (full quotes below) he asked for the interest in the executability of MorphOS applications under AROS/PPC. For that there also is a bounty project but this was started in 2005. To this time Apple was about to bring computers with Intel processors onto the market. Besides, some money of the donations was used for different AROS bounties.
Jason explained that the API of AmigaOS 4 is very different from AROS and MorphOS, but many AROS-libraries already include stubs for MorphOS-functions beyond the 3.x-API. Additionally source codes has been already shared with MorphOS.
Against this background, he would like AROS to be seen as a kind of transitional solution for MorphOS developers for the source code level. The developers could check their precompiled PowerPC-programms if AROS made available all features which they require. Then they could compile their programms for AROS/x86 as well having the certainty that they only have to fix some possible Endianess-problems.
In his opinion this could result in the option for MorphOS to use AROS as base for a MorphOS/x86 with PowerPC-compatibility with the help of a Rosetta-kind of PPC-to-x86-interface.
Staf Verhaegen complemented that it also could be possible to add the ppcmos und ppcos4 architectures to the AROS/PPC-architecture to be able to offer cpmpatible versions for both operating systems and finally to unite all Amiga systems in a single and open source operating system.
Quotes from the mailing list
Jason McMullan: "OS4's API (interfaces, etc) is very
different, structurally, from AROS/MorphOS 4. Many of our libraries already have the MorphOS function stubs for post 3.x APIs. And we already share code with MorphOS.
I would like to see AROS as a 'source level' transition for MorphOS
developers, allowing them to run their pre-compiled PPC binaries on
AROS PPC (to ensure that AROS supports the services their Application
uses), then they can recompile for x86, knowing that they should only
need to fix the inevitable endianess issues.
Who knows - maybe MorphOS could contribute a 'Rosetta' style PPC->x86
interface, then they could use AROS x86 as a kernel for a 'MorphOS
x86' (with PPC compatability)."
Staf Verhaegen: "To summarize ppc arch would use native packing for all structs and a pointer table for the LVOs without special stub code. ppcmos would apply special packing to structs that need it and provide the MOS LVO table convention for shared libraries.
In the end I would like to have then also a ppcos4 arch that would then
be targeted to be OS4 compatible with their interfaces for shared
libraries etc. One open source OS to unite them all!" (snx) (Translation: dr)

Emulator: WinUAE 2.4.0
Version 2.4.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE has been published.
New features:
- VSync supported in fastest possible CPU and JIT modes, complete rewrite, fast, 100% jitter free
- Built-in CD filesystem. Full Amiga CD compatibility, including audio tracks and Amiga Rock Ridge extension, without need for manually installed CDFS, completely replaces old CD option that mounted CD drives as read-only harddrives. NOTE: CD device names renamed to standard CDx: (Old was WinCD_x:)
- Commodore A2024 monitor emulation (1024*1024 grayscale monitor)
- Individual Computers Graffiti emulation
- PCMCIA IDE hardfile emulation
- USB game controller low latency raw input mode is now the default. (Mouse and keyboard support was already implemented long time ago) Windows Vista and newer only. Custom input mappings may need resetting
- PC keyboard mode, keys like home, end, pageup, pagedown etc are mapped to Amiga key codes
- Input configuration qualifier key/button support. Any key or button can be configured as a qualifier and other key mappings can be configured to require one or more active qualifiers
Updates:
- Programmed screen modes (DBLPAL, Multiscan etc.) display positioning and setup greatly improved
- Performance improved in fastest possible CPU without JIT mode
- Performance greatly improved when immediate blitter and fastest possible CPU is enabled and program does lots of small blits
- Gayle IDE emulation IDE doubler mode compatibility improved
- Sound syncronization updates, much more stable with VSync (more updates planned in future)
- Fastest possible CPU mode audio glitch prevention hack updated (WHDLoad IK+, Moonstone, Uridium II, etc.)
- Added pause emulation/disable sound option to active but mouse uncaptured state
- RTG emulation optional ZorroII mode
- UAE harddrive controller RDB harddrive "Do not mount" and "Bootable" options supported
- Interlace mode handling and switching improved
- Interlaced fields are matched in vsync modes if both Amiga mode and output device mode are interlaced
- Lots more options can be modified on the fly using uae-configuration
- Multiple display adapter/multiple monitor selection and support improved
- GUI sound buffer range adjusted, non-linear scale, more smaller buffer sizes selectable
- Joystick/mouse autoswitch also enabled in Input panel non-GamePorts mode
- Native code execution disabled by default. Enable option in Miscellaneous panel
- CPU Idle automatic limit added, no more slowdowns if it is set too low
- Keyboard emulation improved, properly emulated handshake and lost sync state
Bugs fixed:
- uaenet.device crash if opened without installed winpcap
- Startup crash if more than 8 serial ports detected
- Random hangs when switching cycle-exact mode on the fly
- CD image/physical media change on the fly didn't always trigger notification correctly
- Lots of bsdsocket emulation compatibility and multi-thread stability fixes (YAM hangs fixed)
- Directory filesystem reported file size was not updated until file was closed
- Directory filesystem host-side memory leak fix
- Some Advanced Chipset options were not correctly overridden in compatibility mode
- Mouse input stopping working randomly after returning emulation from GUI
- Emulated middle mouse button got stuck in rawinput mode if middle button was set to untrap mouse
- Detect and fix bad configuration options when using uae-configuration, for example it was possible to enable both cycle-exact and JIT at the same time causing frozen emulation
- Rare cycle-exact mode interrupt timing issue. (Guardian Dragon II / Kefrens random hang)
- Some minimized/inactive/active switching issues
- Directory harddrives configured as unbootable still booted normally under KS 1.3
- Windows dialogs (not GUI or file dialogs) were invisible in fullscreen Direct3D mode

AmigaOS 4: Second beta version of Timberwolf
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden have published a new beta version of their Firefox port "Timberwolf".
This new version improves some features of the first beta, and fixes some of the bugs. In essence, the main improvements are as follows:
- Splash screen when starting up (to show something is happening)
- Crash fixes. For example, clicking the zip box no longer crashes
- Right-click popup menus work now
- Downloads work now
- Timberwolf now uses a native ASL file requester instead of the alien file picker
Timberwolf requires AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4. The authors pointed out that before the program is started, the readme - included in the archive - should be read. There you can find important hints for craeting the font caches.

ACube Systems: Software package for programming the Sam440ep-FPGA
Press release: Bassano del Grappa (Italy) - 24 March 2012
ACube Systems is happy to release a package to explore and enhance the capabilities of the LatticeXP FPGA available on the Sam440ep mini-itx and flex-atx boards.
With the manual, examples and tools of the package it's possible to implement new functionalities into the FPGA, to further strengthen your AmigaOS experience on your Sam440ep board.
The package contains:
- VHDL source code (released under GPL) of the firmware currently used on Sam440ep boards
- the original bitstream installed at the factory (to restore the original firmware)
- a porting of the VME12 utility which can reprogram, via the JTAG interface, the FPGA on the fly under AmigaOS 4.1 (*)
(*) a simple hardware modification and a cable are required

Elbox: "New edition" of FastATA is a bogus claim
Four weeks ago Elbox promoted an alleged new edition of its IDE-controller: With the "FastATA MK-IV CF/SATA" users now could connect modern mass storage like SSD or SATA-harddrives to an Amiga.
In the English product description in the Elbox-shop it is not particularly mentioned that it is a new revision of the hardware or that the CompactFlash and SATA-ports are on the board but the written words legen are rather clear: "The FastATA 4000 MK-IV CF/SATA is designed to simultaneously use up to four devices: one Compact Flash card, one SATA drive and two to four PATA devices".
As things turned out the promoted product is the "old" controller "FastATA MK-IV" which has been unchanged available for years. It is now delivered with two standard adapters for connecting CompactFlash or SATA devices to an IDE-controller. Both adapters have to be connected with standard PATA-cables to the FastATA and separately supplied with power:
Although the PATA-SATA-adapter is a standard device which Elbox has bought from a external distributor, for unknown reasons the labeling of chip was removed in order to um complicate its identifying.
(we would like to thank "Amiga-Aktivist" for his kind permission to publish pictures he has taken)

AmigaOS 4: Article about AmigaOS4 programming / Book planned
After the release of his article about the Debugger GDB, Roman 'kas1e' Kargin is going to publish the new article "The Hacking Way: Part 1. First Steps". Knowledge in C and Assembler are required.
Kargin would like to publish other articles and then collect them in a book which is about AmigaOS4 internals, kernel internals, disassembling and debugging techniqs, ppc-assembler, utilities and tools which help when you debug programms.
If there is sufficient interest in such a book, the author is trying to find out by making a plea for donations, because he needs to spend money for proof-readers and painters. If more than 200 US-Dollar should be donated, a "porper" bounty project with all details information for the whole book would be started.

Accelerator board: ACA 1231 still suffering from stability issues
Several users who purchased the Amiga 1200 accelerator board ACA 1231 had been reporting stability issues. Earlier this month, the manufacturer Individual Computers responded by supplying all existing customers with an additional cooler, which will also be mounted on all future cards.
Apparently, the additional cooler substantially improves the stability of the board, but there are still customers reporting crashes. The manufacturer and some affected users are currently trying to locate the source of the problem.

A-EON: Another X1000 production run, Xorro plug-in board, X1000 boot theme
Press release:
Wellington, 11th February 2012
Musical Tribute
To mark the release of the AmigaONE X1000 "First Contact" system we commissioned free-lance music composer Rachel Dickinson (aka Rayne Leafe) to create two original soundtracks as a tribute to the ground-breaking Amiga 1000 computer.
We asked her to compose a new start-up boot sound for the AmigaONE X1000 which built on the Amigas' original diagnostic audio test. We also asked her to create a longer piece which captures the spirit of the AmigaONE X1000. The result is A-EON Starlight an atmospheric and evocative music score which evolved from her new boot theme.
According to venerable AmigaOS developer Olaf Barthel, "the Amiga 1000 audio diagnostic test (aka boot sound) is based upon the Siegfried horn motif, as used in Richard Wagner's Ring cycle. The code for the Amiga 1000 boot ROM does not contain just the Wagner snippet, but also something else: the five tone "theme of the mothership" by John Williams as used in "Close encounters of the third kind". Barthel added "The author of the audio diagnostic code appears to be Siegfried W. Bleher. The theme played by the Amiga 1000 appears to be an edited version, which plays faster than Wagner's original, and is not exactly in tune with it either. The notes played are as follows: c, g (long note), e (1/128th note), c, d, e, f, e, d, d. The playback frequencies and speed are hard-coded for an NTSC machine, which might explain why it sounds like it does. The individual sound generation code uses a sine wave and emulates an ADSR envelope with short attack time and a slightly longer release time. From what I can tell, the diagnostic code and the music as we know it today finally came together on 13 May 1985. Also (I tested the code when I discovered it), John William's five tone theme did not sound quite as good as in the film. In the film score, the cue that contains the five tone theme is called "wild signals". It is perhaps fitting that the Amiga's 1985 "Close Encounter" developed into the AmigaONE X1000's "First Contact".
Rachel commented, "I spent my childhood using an Amiga computer and it's a special privilege for me to be able to contribute to its continuing success. When I was asked to write the boot sound for the new AmigaONE X1000 I wanted to pay homage to both the simple boot theme of the original Amiga and the enhanced start-up sound created for AmigaOS 4 by Japanese electro-pop artist, composer and Amiga user Susumu Hirasawa. I've tried to remain true to the tone row of the original boot sound while adding a modern interpretation. The A-EON Starlight theme is an expansion and exploration of the new boot theme. I hope you enjoy my musical Amiga tribute. "

The Mark of Xorro!
As part of our ongoing commitment to the AmigaONE X1000, we commissioned Varisys to design a special Xorro plug-in board to take advantage of the A1-1000's onboard Xena "co-processor". The Xorro board is intended for the consummate Amiga hacker and is a practical XMOS veroboard which allows access to the Xena slot IOs and power rails. It has the added advantage of being able to be cut in half via an added dotted line, allowing it to be used in small form factor cases. To demonstrate it's use on the AmigaONE X1000, Varisys created a simple circuit with a buffer and some LEDs. A video is attached of the Xorro board performing an XMOS "walking 1" test on the Xena pins. The Xorro plug-in board will be stocked by AmigaKit and information will be posted on their website in the near future.

"First Contact" Update
If you missed out on an AmigaONE X1000 "First Contact" system and still want to join the party we have some good news for you. Following the overwhelming success of the "First Contact" initiative, we are pleased to announce that we have authorised another production run. As before, these systems will be supplied with AmigaOS 4 Update 1.5 pre-installed and a fully paid-up license for the supply of AmigaOS 4.2 when it is commercially released by Hyperion Entertainment. Please check out the AmigaKit website for pre-order details which will be posted in the near future.

Stability issues: a cooler and a software updates for ACA 1231 processor boards
After several customers of Individual Computer's ACA 1231 accelerator boards reported stability issues, the manufacturer now supplies a cooling solution for free. All customers who already received an ACA 1231 will also receive the package detailed below without having to specifically request it.
Mario 'mfilos' Filos has supplied us with pictures of the package customers have received. It contains the cooler, a short manual and a 'Lisa' custom chip - which is used to fix a heat transfer pad during transport and can be used for other means once the cooler has been mounted on the ACA 1231:
Additionally, an update of the tool 'ACATune' is available from the web page of the official distributor Vesalia. ACATune is used under Workbench 3.0 (and only there) to add the FastRAM on the ACA 1231 to the system. The initial version had a bug which would try to add non-existant memory aswell, which would result in a system crash as soon as these memory areas were accessed.
Additionally, there's a new revision of the ACA 1231 Firmware that delays a cold start somewhat to give older harddisks enough time to spin up properly. The ACA firmware can not be updated by the user himself: customers whose harddisks are not recognised during a cold start are asked to contact Vesalia and request a firmware upgrade.

AmigaOne X1000: Video of prototype of a Xorro expansion board
"Xorro" is called the slot on the motherbaord of the AmigaOne X1000. Expansion boards can be connected which have a direct access to the XMOS-chip ("Xena"). A-Eon itself is not going to develop such expansions.
A-EON's hardware compagnon Varisys now has published a video, which apparently shows a prototype of a Xorro expansion board.

AROS: Zune Enhancement Bounty started
Krzysztof "Deadwood" Śmiechowicz has accepted a bounty which is supposed to improve the open source MUI-clone Zune. Among others the aim is to implement in Zune those MUI 4 functions and features that are needed to compile Fab1's Odyssey Web Browser, which currently only runs on MorphOS.
If he will succeed he will currently get 296 USD.
