After the release of its final version 2.0, the developer 'mithrendal' has incorporated the current vAmigaCore2.0 into his application. He has also fixed user-reported problems in this version.

Soundbar: Sonos Ray
After we had reported about 'SonosController', the Hollywood program written by Michael Rupp for controlling Sonos speakers, one or the other finger of our readers was possibly already on the order button of such a product, but aborted the process abruptly because of the proud price: so a Sonos Beam costs 499 Euros, a Sonos Arc even 999 Euros.
According to the German t3n Magazine, the Sonos Ray is now available at a lower price of 299 Euros. Instead of Dolby Atmos and HDMI, the soundbar offers Dolby Digital 5.1 and an optical connection in contrast to the higher-priced alternatives.
When asked, Michael Rupp confirmed to us that his SonosController software should work with all Sonos products (and compatible ones) without any problems and without the need for adjustments.

Web emulator: vAmiga Online 0.9
At the end of November we reported about Christian Corti's web conversion of the Mac emulator vAmiga. He has now updated his project called 'vAmiga Online' to the latest version of the Mac emulator and furthermore preconfigured some demos and games which can be selected via the 'Rocket' button (second picture). According to our small test, the web emulator currently works fine with an original 1.3 ROM as well as 3.1 ROM (A600) provided by AmigaForever. Attempts with the AROS replacement ROMs or 3.1 ROMs od A1200 failed under Windows and using Firefox or Edge.

At the end of last year we had the opportunity to (test) the alpha version of 'Jump!', a conversion of the game Yoomph, originally written for the Atari. The Polish developer Markus Duda now has released a demo version of his arcade game, so that everyone can get an impression for themselves. You need an Amiga 1200 with 14MHz and 4MB Fast RAM. The demo version offers three levels.
The game can be pre-ordered at the title link as a digital variant for 29 Euros or as a 'Boxed Version' for 45 Euros plus shipping (depending on the destination).
