THEA500 Mini: Running Atari ST programs with emutos-amiga.rom and Amiberry
For "THEA500 Mini" Siegfried Hübner describes at the title link how to run also Atari ST programs on this rebuild of the Amiga 500 by Retro Games Ltd. Required are EmuTOS-Amiga.ROM and AmiBerry.
To avoid a flickering display, open the Amiberry menu and change Display Line Mode from "Single" to "Double". The .st floppy disk images are compressed with GZip, so that for example the file disk.st becomes disk.st.gz instead.

Linux: Nanosaur V1.44 ported
Nanosaur was released in 1998 by Pangea Software as a Mac exclusive. It was a pack-in game on Macs that came out around that time. Nanosaur casts a cybernetic dinosaur from the future who’s sent back in time 20 minutes before a giant asteroid hits the Earth. The developer 'jorio' has ported the MacOS 8 version with permission of Pangea Software to run on modern systems.
Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky, in turn, has compiled the source code for 32-bit Linux PPC on the basis of this LinuxPPC port, so that the game runs, for example, with the distribution Fienix on an AmigaOne X1000 or 5000.

Windows: Embedding media files into Amiga RAM for usage in own programs
'RetroNick', the author of the Sprite/Icon/Map editor "Raster Master" for Windows 10/11, has released "Hunkster" (named after the Hunk format), a Windows program that allows programmers to convert media files so that they are loaded by the Amiga into its memory, if necessary also specifically into Chip or Fast RAM. In the source code of a custom C or Pascal program, their address in memory can then be transferred to a variable or an array, respectively, and used for execution.
The author himself is only interested in publishing the Windows version, but a version for Linux is just as possible. Interested developers should then fork his repository and adapt the name (for example "LinuxHunkster").

Do it yourself: Amiga Floppy Swap
Amiga Floppy Swap is an extension for the Amiga 500, 1000, 2000 or 3000 with connected external drive, which is placed under the MOS 8520 Even CIA chip. After pressing Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga twice in quick succession, the drives DF0: and DF1: are swapped, so that booting from e.g. a Gotek floppy drive emulator is possible.
Pressing the reset keys twice again restores the previous state, and a piezo element provides acoustic feedback that the switch has been executed.

After the 2nd part already two months ago, Bruno 'BeWorld' Peloille has now also ported the predecessor for MorphOS: Fallout (Wikipedia) from 1997 is a role-playing game, which is set after a nuclear war, shows black humor and combines futuristic technology with the American everyday culture of the 1950s.
The "Community Edition" is an open source reimplementation, which requires the original, which can still be purchased at GOG or Steam.

MorphOS: LUA-MUI updated
Stefan 'Kronos' Kleinheinrich's LUA-MUI makes it possible under MorphOS to use the LUA scripting language to make operating system-specific calls, i.e. concerning the graphical user interface, libraries and functions.
The update released today includes changes to the LibCall() function - it now returns integer values or the value NIL if the called function fails. Also, muistructs.lua now registers all structs at startup, which requires more time and memory.
