Emulator: QEMU 8.2.0 released
QEMU is an open source computer emulator and virtualiser. QEMU is able to emulate a complete computer in software. It is therefore also possible to emulate Amiga operating systems such as AROS, AmigaOS or MorphOS on QEMU. This support is provided by QEMU developer Zoltan Balaton, who has set up a dedicated website with lots of tips and information. As already reported at the beginning of December, the now released QEMU version 8.2.0 also supports AmigaOne emulation via its BBoot bootloader. In addition, the Pegasos 2 emulation now supports the audiodev property (PowerPC changes). For Windows 64 Bit a compiled binary was made available on Christmas Eve.

Trevor's Blog: Christmas Present
Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology has published a new article in his "Trevor's Blog" for Christmas. In it he reports on the Amiga trade fairs he attended, AmigaKit's A600GS project and also mentions once again the "AAA Technology" alliance formed by ACube Systems, A-EON Technology and Amedia Computer, which is to deliver the long-awaited A1222 Plus.
The A1222 Plus comes with updated ExecSG and uBoot firmware from Steven Solie. Also included in the A1222 Plus package is a new version of DvPlayer (v54.11) that supports A-EON's video acceleration library, enabling smooth playback with clear DMA power audio.

Preview video: Hyperborea Resurrected
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener is in the process of continuing a project that was started four years ago and interrupted in the meantime (YouTube videos): back then, he began developing a new shoot 'em up called "Hyperborea" with graphic designer Torben Bakager Larsen, who was also responsible for Battle Squadron, among other things.
Everything from the original prototype code was discarded, started from scratch and only some auxiliary functions from Souverän Soccer were adopted. Technically, the game is as good as finished and has the following features:
- 304 x 256 PAL @ 50 fps (almost always ;) )
- vertical scroller with additional horizontal scrolling (384 pixel wide levels)
- 1p and 2p simultan mode
- 100% flicker free bullets and enemies
- tons of bullets
TTorben Bakager Larsen is back on board, the strict colour restrictions of the old version have been removed. The game is mostly developed in C++ and about 10% in ASM. The video shows the current test level with some enemies and many, many bullets on an A1200 with deactivated turbo card / FastRam.

Merry Christmas!
Dear readers, dear Amiga friends,
As Christmas draws to a close, so does the year and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal readers, for whom we have endeavoured over the past twelve months not only to collect news, but also to provide background reports, tutorials, anecdotes and so on. It is fascinating how many private, but also professional projects still exist around the Amiga.
Therefore, on the other hand, thanks should also go to all the people who develop these small and large software and hardware projects and sacrifice time for them: without them there would be nothing for us to report on and nothing for the many Amiga users to be happy about, test, complain about... ;)
For this reason, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year together with a few randomly selected people who represent all the projects we have reported on over the past year! Stay in touch with the developers, the creatives, support them, also by actively participating in discussions in the corresponding news items here: Feedback is always welcome! A big thank you to the graphic designer 'jojo073', who provided us with the Christmas pixel art.
Merry Christmas!

Platform game: Demo version of "Terryble Knight"
The author of the RedPill game construction kit, Carlos 'Zener' Peris, started this game project because he wanted to test the slope system in RedPill. With RedPill version 0.9.32, also released today, this slope system has been greatly improved. "Terryble Knight" (YouTube video) uses the assets of Ansimuz, a very good and productive pixel artist. The music was provided by 'Fireb0y'.

Shoot 'em Up: Early demo version of "NEON world" (V0.0.4)
After Frank Neumann had not programmed anything for the Amiga with assembler for 30 years, he wants to get back into it with the shoot 'em up "NEON world". This early demo version now has its first opponents, even if the score is not yet calculated correctly. The game uses the free graphics set "NEONworld", which Kevin Saunders made available as part of the Amiga Art Contest 2020 (amiga-news.de reported). The game should run on an Amiga 500.

Web browser: IBrowse 3.0a
One month after the release of version 3.0 of his web browser "IBrowse" (amiga-news.de reported), Oliver Roberts has made an update available. Although, as he writes, "things have gone pretty smoothly", one problem in particular went largely unnoticed: a bug in the HTTP(S) module could trash memory, which could result in either instant crashes or seemingly random crashes at a later stage. For this reason, all users are advised to update their IBrowse 3.0 installation using the supplied installer. See the History log page for full details of the changes in this update.

Emulator: WinUAE 5.1.0
The Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released in version 5.1.0. Changes:
New features/updates: UI
- On screen keyboard. Default mapped to pad button 4.
- Gamepad GUI control. Use game pad to control WinUAE GUI with some limits.
- Optional dark mode (Windows 10 or newer required)
- Emulation window dragging and resize does not anymore pause emulation.
New features/updates: emulation
- Built-in Munt MT-32/CM-32L emulation. Emulated devices listed in MIDI out setting. ROM images should be in \mt32-roms. or c:\mt32-rom-data\.
- AT&T DSP3210 emulation (AA3000 prototype). Not complete.
- More programmed chipset screen mode emulation improvements.
- Disk emulation improved, undocumented disk read DMA “last word may not come in” bug emulated.
- Chipset emulation updates and fixes.
- “Autoclip screenshots” option now supports programmed native screen modes.
- Native<>RTG and RTG<>RTG mode switching optimizations.
- A2410 display card emulation updates, works now with new Picasso96 driver.
- Input panel Backslash/F11 option now has third option that restores pre-5.0 keymap behavior.
- Do not list GPT partitioned harddrives in “Add Harddrives” panel.
- Football Director 2 dongle emulation.
- Quickstart Host Configuration menu first option renamed, “Default configuration” -> “Current host configuration”. Added new option “Default host configuration” that resets host configuration to defaults.
- Hard reset now randomizes CPU reset start up delay and initial floppy motor position.
Bugs fixes
- DMS brute force decryption failed to work with some encrypted DMS files.
- Alt-Tab from D3D11 fullscreen RTG mode made hardware mouse cursor invisible.
- Some configurations crashed when GUI Reset or Restart button was clicked.
- Enter GUI, eject disk, insert new disk, exit GUI: Disk was inserted immediately which is physically impossible and can confuse programs. Inserting disk without manually ejecting it first worked correctly.
- GUI Restart button didn’t fully restore GUI position/size if “Restarting” from fullscreen or full-window mode.
- Some configs crashed when GUI Restart button or Reset was pressed.
- WASAPI sound was disabled if sound driver only supported 8 channel audio.
- Some configurations opened multiple tiny inactive multi-monitor mode emulation windows without enabled multiple monitors.
- Workbench programmed screen mode (DBLPAL etc) positioning was not always correct when switching from other native mode.
- None serial port emulation mode and fast CPU configuration: serial port driver hung if serial data transmit was attempted.
- Integer scale + full window: Display panel windowed width and height was used instead of full window size (desktop size) when calculating scaling values.
- Screen might have flickered when starting Picasso96 RTG screen dragging.
- Multiple 0x76 partitions per HD/card can be mounted now, previously only first was mounted and the rest become zero size non-existing drives.
- USB HID input device usage page check fixed, it accepted devices that had nothing to do with being input device.
Gamepad GUI control details
- A = select (pad mode)/left mouse click (mouse mode)
- B = right mouse click (mouse mode).
- Y = change active GUI area (pad mode)/TAB UI element change (mouse mode).
- D-pad = select UI elements, “pad mode”.
- Left stick = move mouse, “mouse mode”.
Currently requires XInput compatible gamepad.
Onscreen keyboard details
- Pad button 4 is default mapped to open/close on screen keyboard input event (if loaded config has button 4 mapped to something else, button is not mapped to OSK)
- Pad button/d-pad that normally controls Amiga joystick moves keyboard selection. Joystick movements and button presses are not sent to Amiga side as long as OSK is open.
- Fire button press = send selected key’s press
- Fire button release = send selected key’s release
- Second button press = toggle state of selected key. Keep shift or control or other qualifier key pressed.
- Second button release = does nothing.
- Keyboard layout is US layout + 2 keys that are used in international layout variants + few bonus “keys”.
- If GUI is entered when OSK is open, GUI pad control is automatically enabled.

Christmas game: Santa's Present Drop 3
After part 1 in 2021 and part 2 last year, Rob Smith now has released "Santas Present Drop 3" written with AMOS.
