Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga V2.4
Dirk Hoffmann has released version 2.4 of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS. Changes:
Enhancements:
- Improved audio filter emulation
- Added support for ADFs containing less than 80 cylinders
- Added some more ROM fingerprints
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a crash that occurred when loading certain extended ADFs
The minimum system requirement for his emulator has been raised to macOS 11.0. Since the developer has left the "Apple Developer Program" ("too expensive"), the app is no longer certified. This means that from now on a warning will be displayed when the app is started.

Linux: Kernel 6.3 for AmigaOne X1000/X5000
Right after the release of the Linux kernel 6.3, Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has compiled it for AmigaOne X1000 and X5000 and offered the kernel for download in the associated discussion topic of the Hyperion forum. X5000users should note that, if uInitrd is used for example for booting with a LABEL, then the dtb file should be loaded to the address 1d00000. The kernel has grown in recent months so the address 1c00000 is used by the uImage.

Video: Reproduction of "Four-Byte Burger" artwork
On his YouTube channel "Ahoy", Stuart Brown produces documentary-style video content about video games and their influence on culture. His latest video is dedicated to the "Four-Byte Burger", an example from the early days of digital art. The image shows a colourful cheeseburger designed by Commodore's art director Jack Haeger. The original file was not saved and the image is only preserved as a copy because Haeger took photos of the monitor with a 35mm camera. In his video, Brown explores the question of whether a perfect reproduction of the image is possible.

The tool does not require any driver, IRQs or something like that and therefore should also run on only partly working computers performing hardware tests and identifying problems.
