pegasosforum.de: Vote on bounty projects
After the adoption of a bounty system was decided on the Pegasos forum several weeks ago, they first collected ideas for various projects and now want to determine the five most popular bounties by means of a vote.
Information on the individual projects can be found in the so-called Bounty Bay. Every registered member of the Pegasos forum has three votes and can vote for one project in each case in three different votings. (1. choice, 2. choice, 3. choice). It is allowed to vote for the same project three times. After 21 days, the votings will end and the results will be evaluated.
The five bounties that receive the most votes in this voting will then be enabled first - that is, users can then donate money for these projects and developers can apply for a development commission. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Metacompiler: PortablE r1
Christopher Handley's metacompiler PortablE translates the programming language E into other languages. Through this, large E programs should be brought to a form that is compilable on a wider base of platforms.
On its part, the program which is now available in version r1 (1.0) is written in E, compiles itself and runs under AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS and MorphOS. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Drum-Machine RockBEAT 3.0
James Carroll has published an update of his Drum-Machine RockBEAT. According to the author version 3.0 has still some bugs but has the following changes:
- Added a function to display how much time was taken to Save projects as WAV files. This could be useful in benchmarking OS4 hardware
- Added volume sliders and mute buttons for the tracks. These values are saved when you Save your projects too
- Changed the graphics to be super skinny, so that the beat buttons fits on a 1024x768 screen. Scrolling still causes audio to skip, so 800x600 users will still suffer. Sorry
- Changed my audio frames to use short's instead of unsigned long's. This should theoretically make my audio sound a lot better, but I can't tell if its made any difference
- Did some bugfixing with my arrays. Data was being setup and written outside where it should have been, and was probably trashing memory

DiscreetFX: Monthly award
DiscreetFX has provided a monthly award of 100 US-Dollar for developers or users who foward the Amiga in the section Amiga, MorphOS, AROS or AmigaOS 4.
The first award has got Jan Zahurancik for his WinUAE distribution AmiKit. This is the official press release:
Chicago, Illinois, June 9th, 2008 - Amiga Seeding the Success Campaign from DiscreetFX
The Amiga computer represents a lot of firsts in the computer industry but it also represents many missed opportunities. Since the death of Commodore in 1994 the Amiga has descended into dark times. They say you learn most from your failures and not your successes and this is most certainly the case when it comes to Amiga. And yet some good things have happened as well.
The Amiga market has branched off into some healthy competition with the arrival of MorphOS, AROS & Amiga OS 4.0. The Amiga emulation scene is alive and well with Amiga Forever from Cloanto. And lets not forget the hard work of the developers of Minimig, Natami & CloneA. Amiga developers have transcended the need of one company controlling the destiny of Amiga and have forged ahead in interesting ways.
It is this Amiga spirit that DiscreetFX loves and we want to nurture. So starting today we will select one winner per month and give them $100 donation via paypal. No this is not a ton of money but it is a gesture that is meant to encourage positive feelings and development in the Amiga community of families. Each month if a developer or even user does something outstanding that pushes forward the Amiga, MorphOS, AROS or Amiga OS 4.0 brand we will send them this little reward. The first reward has already been sent in fact.
The winner is Jan Zahurancik's AmiKit. Jan has worked tirelessly and created a killer add on for WinUAE and the Amiga emulation scene. He is not alone and it takes many to change the world. But it is our sincere hope that the Amiga scene can grow one day again. One million users and 100,000 active developers would be just grand. Thanks again Jan Zahurancik for all your hard work and your the winner for June 2008. Who will July 2008's winner be? Feel free to participate in the process and let us know via e-mail who you think deserves to win in July. They can be MorphOS, Amiga OS, OS 4.0, AROS users or developers. That does not matter, what does matter is that they worked hard and pushed the community forward in a positive way.
Best regards
DiscreetFX Team (snx) (Translation: dr)

Cloanto: Emulation package Amiga Forever 2008
Preceding an official press-release scheduled for next week, Cloanto today announced the availability of the next version of their emulation package:
After more than two years of work, Amiga Forever 2008 is being officially released today. This new version is the most significant upgrade ever in the Amiga Forever series. It sets new references in usability, while more than tripling the featured content and providing easy access to a universe of free downloads.
The new player for Windows is nothing short of revolutionary, while feeling as familiar and easy to use as a media player (Screenshots). Beyond its beautiful skin, it uses heuristic logic to autoconfigure downloaded games (including double clicks on disk images), and supports features such as saved states, disk write undo and dual monitor setups.
On the cross-platform front, the KX Light standalone boot environment features a new kernel and hard disk installation (with online updates). The Gallery section (Plus Edition CD) includes the full and original 1979 Tripos (AmigaOS precursor) presentation, and new "top secret" Amiga-Atari documents, while tons of new games and demoscene productions are sure to deliver long hours of enjoyment. For the technically-minded, Amiga Forever 2008 also includes new ROMs, new ADFs, new HDFs, and better support for WHDLoad, AmiKit and AmigaSYS (crash-course for upgraders).
Owners of a previous version of Amiga Forever (any edition, either downloadable or physical) can upgrade at a reduced price.
The Amiga Forever team at Cloanto would again like to thank the numerous Amiga Friends for their long-time support (and patience, in recent months), and the many contributors who made Amiga Forever possible (as listed in the Credits section of the Amiga Forever documentation). (snx)

AmigaOS 4: Instant Messenger SabreMSN, Alpha 7
James "jahc" Carroll has published another alpha version of his Instant Messenger for the MSN-network (screenshots: 1, 2).
In alpha 7 it is now possible to transfer files. Currently you can only send or receive one file and transfers cannot be aborted. The ASL-dialog for choosing a file to transfer is not asynchronous. That means the messenger stops working as long as the requester is opened. Downloads will be always saved to the RAM-disk.
The ports which are supposed to be used for transfers must be configured in the "Settings"-windows.

AROS: Frontier - Elite 2
Jason Stevens has ported GLFrontier which is a SDL-/OpenGL-based reimplementation of the Space Opera classic Frontier: Elite 2 to AROS and deleted all OpenGL dependence.
The game only uses SDL for the graphics. Currently the game only works with 8 or 24 Bit screens. The keyboard support has still some problems. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 1.5.0
As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE give a short preview to the forthcoming version. WinUAE 1.5.0 will be published in June and will be the first version which will require at least Windows 2000/XP/Vista - older versions of Windows will be not supported any longer.
New features and improvements in WinUAE 1.5.0:
- Picasso96 emulation rewrite:
- Major speed increase
- Optimized blitter operations
- Hardware (flicker free) mouse cursor emulated
- Picasso96 <> native switch without screen/window reopening if
old and new size matches (instant mode switching)
- Fullscreen to fullscreen switch without desktop flashing
- Color space conversion, all RTG color depths supported in windowed
mode as long as Windows desktop has same or higher color depth
- Simple scaling support added, fill to whole screen instead of
switching resolution. (Useful with low resolution games and demos in
windowed mode or if host resolutions like 320x200 are not supported)
- Configurable 15/16/24/32 bit color space formats
- Filter update:
- Scaling and centering are now more intuitive (NOTE: old settings
are not compatible)
- "FS" scale multiplier added (fill whole screen)
- "1/2" scale multipler added
- Hq3x and hq4x filters added
- Onscreen leds are not filtered anymore
- Keep aspect ratio option added
- PCMCIA SRAM card emulation, includes real PCMCIA SRAM card support
- ROM scanner byteswapped and even/odd ROM image support
- Multithreaded AVI recording, huge speed increase with 2+ core CPUs
- Right mouse button over image selection buttons opens favorites menu
(can add/remove/edit shortcut paths to disk/rom/harddrive images)
- Sprite emulation updates, sprite doublescan support improved
(for example Fantastic Dizzy CD32 background), yet another missing
undocumented feature implemented
- More compatible with timing changes caused by power saving features
- Missing uaescsi.device CMD_GETGEOMETRY added
- Debugger, GUI debugger improvements
- A600/A1200/A4000 IDE emulation LBA48 (>128G) support
- Input handling is more Windows-like, only release mouse/joystick/keyboard
when WinUAE loses focus (previously when mouse was not captured)
- Added 1.5M Chip RAM and 384M/768/1.5G Z3 RAM (configures two emulated
RAM boards) configurations
Fixed bugs in WinUAE 1.5.0:
- uaenet.device random deadlock fix, NSCMD_DEVICEQUERY works correctly
- Gayle interrupt handling update
- CPU emulation fixes, EXTB.L and CHK.L was 68000 (should be 68020+)
- Sprite emulation fix, Super Skid Marks hires mode cars and Marvin's
Marvellous Adventure score/cloud interference
- Sound emulation fix, fixes Weird Dreams hospital scene sound problem
- More compatible CD32 state restore support
- AGA mode sprite garbage may have appeared in some cases. (1.4.5+)
- DOS formatted HD floppy image crash
- Rare harddrive detection crash
- CD32 compatibility improved (Liberation CD32)
- Display emulation fix, mixed interlaced and non-interlaced modes don't
cause random display errors anymore, same with doublescanned
interlaced modes. (for example hires-mode Pinball Illusions)
- Autoconfig emulation update, Action Replay 3 does not detect
non-existing fast RAM board anymore
- Some lha/lzh archives mounted as a harddrive crashed
- Mousehack (tablet) mode works again

AmigaOS 4: Jagged Alliance 2-Port in progress
Jagged Alliance 2 is a round based strategy game with role play elements. There is an open-source SDL-port of the game called ja2-stracciatella (screenshots: 1, 2, 3).
In the forum of the ja2-stracciatella-project Hans-Jörg "Alwarren" Frieden told that he is developing a port for AmigaOS 4.0. The port obviously is already playable but the developer tries to write the source code more CPU-independent. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 3.9: scsi.device-patch for LBA48-support (update)
Download:
scsi.device.lba48.pch.zip (335 Bytes)
Update: Meanwhile this fix was integrated in Christian Sauer's scsi.device-patch which has been available on Aminet for a while and which fixes another bug.
WinUAE-author Toni Wilen wrote:
"I found something interesting when I was implementing LBA48 support to IDE emulation. OS3.9BB2 scsi.device (v43.43) does have LBA48 support but it has bug that freezes or crashes the Amiga..
I fixed the bug (patch details below) and now (at least in emulation) my A1200 IDE 160G test hard file works perfectly with full capacity.
This may also fix common v43.43 scsi.device boot freeze if drive has LBA48 support. (but older scsi.device versions work). Confirmation needed.
Patch is compatible with all v43.43 scsi.devices (A600/A1200/A4000)
Please test if you have >128G IDE drive and/or you have boot freeze without NOROMUPDATES or SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device

WARNING: Patching HD drivers is always dangerous, data loss is always possibility.
Next follows my random notes, no need to understand this
Old code that returns garbage after LBA48 command:
10FEF2A0 43fa 000e LEA.L (PC,$000e) == $10fef2b0,A1
10FEF2A4 3219 MOVE.W (A1)+,D1

10FEF2AC 3001 MOVE.W D1,D0
10FEF2AE 4e75 RTS.L
10FEF2B0 0220 02C4 0430 04C5 02EC 0450 0070 0010
10FEF2C0 0091 00C6 0040 0090 0000
20 = read sectors
c4 = read multiple
30 = write sectors
c5 = write multiple
ec = identify drive
50 = format
70 = seek
10 = recalibrate
91 = initialize drive parameters
c6 = set multiple mode
40 = read verify sectors
90 = execute drive diagnostics
00 = nop
New code (different because space was really tight..)
43FA 0018 lea data(pc),a1
7200 moveq #0,d1
0C11 00FF l1 cmp.b #$ff,(a1)

dc.b 0xff,0x04,0xc5,0x39,0x30,0x34,0x50
dc.b 0xff,0x00
This adds following missing LBA48 commands:
29 = read multiple ext
39 = write multiple ext
24 = read sectors ext
34 = write sectors ext
Meaning of this table is to return 2 (if read command), 4 (if write command) or 0 (no data).
Someone simply forgot to add new LBA48 commands to this table when LBA48 support was implemented.." (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: MPlayer 1.0 (svn-2008.05.11)
Fabien Coeurjoly has made available an update to the video playback program MPlayer 1.0 for MorphOS.
The new version merely resolves minor errors of the previous version, and therefore, principally addresses users who were affected by these.
Changes:
- Usergroup.library (and thus tcp stack) not required at init anymore
- Fixed an ffmpeg bug in rv10 (.ram files) recognition that would cause a crash
- Prevent mplayer from using localised float representation (that is "," as decimal for instance). Should fix the bug with a-v delay hotkey and others
Download: MPlayer-1.0-svn-2008.05.11.lha (8 MB) (snx) (Translation: cad)

SCUI GUI library for Hollywood
At present, Fabio Falcucci is working on a GUI library for Hollywood 3. A video released on Youtube shows first impressions of the library in action: Buttons, progress bars, lists, text fields, scroll bars, and even SCUI windows of one's own are displayed, among other things. By means of the cross-platform functionality of Hollywood 3, this GUI library does not only run under AmigaOS, but also under Windows and Mac OS. (cg) (Translation: cad)

Pictures and videos from the Powerdev Meeting
Various pictures and videos have now been released from the PowerDev Meeting, which took place from May 1 to 4 in Hörstel and was supported by Genesi.
In addition to numerous pictures of MorphOS 2.0, the developer boards Hellrosa by STx as well as MPC8610HPCD by Freescale can be seen as well. These computers were designated as "Efika 5121e" and "Efika 8610" by the organizer, which should probably be a sign of plans to develop one's own products based on these motherboards, which were already suggested by the Genesi management in various forums and blog entries.
