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.

Diagnosis tool: DiagROM 1.3, Announcement of version 2.0
DiagROM is a diagnosis software which has to be burned into an EPROM and then replaces the regular Kickstart-ROM of an Amiga (amiga-news.de reported). 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.

Tutorial: Updated installation guide for AmigaOS 4.1 under QEMU 8
About four weeks ago we published Rene Engel's Installation guide for AmigaOS 4.1 under QEMU 8, which he had created in collaboration with the Amiga QEMU developer Zoltan Balaton and which at that time still referred to the first release candidate of QEMU 8. The manual had not only triggered a lively discussion, numerous tests and a lot of feedback in our (German) forum, but also beyond. As a result, further problems and pitfalls could be concretised, analysed and partly solved. Since the official version 8.0.0 of QEMU has been available since yesterday, Rene Engel has revised his installation instructions on the basis of this and the feedback from the users. A big thank you to all those who have contributed!

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.
