Accelerator board: ACA-620 available (Update)
The accelerator board ACA-620 produced by Individual Computers (amiga-news.de reported) now is available in different Amiga stores.

The board is equipped with a 16,67 MHz clocked MC68EC020-processor as well as 9+1 MB virtual memory. 9 MB can be generally used and 1MB is used for the MapROM-function. This means the Kickstart-ROM is executed from the 32-bit-memory which increases the speed.

Update: (20:30, 10.10.12, snx)
As Jens Schönfeld mentions at a1k.org, an additional part of the 16 MB RAM actually present on-board can be utilized using the ACAtune tool. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 1.3.30
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE for Windows, Mac OS X 10.5+ (i386, PPC) and Linux (i386, AMD64) is based on WinUAE and can be completely controlled with a joypad.

Please note that the paths of the repository and the downloads have been changed and the launcher-database has to be scanned again.

Changes in version 1.3.29:
  • Implemented fs_application_exe_path for Unix-like systems.
  • Data files (“share”) are now also searched relative to fs-uae executable (executabledir/share and executabledir/../share) before checking the default system locations, and no longer searched for under cwd.
  • Fixed problem where A key press could mysteriously appear on OS X.
  • Fixed bug with shader passes being multiplied on mode switch.
  • Link with -headerpad_max_install_names on OS X [Tobias Netzel].
  • (Launcher) Saving configurations is now possible.
  • (Launcher) Added new “default” input device options.
  • (Launcher) Contract paths with $BASE or $HOME if possible.
  • (Launcher) Automatically scan local config files (.fs-uae) on startup.
  • (Launcher) Net play panel must be enabled with custom setting netplay_feature = 1 (temporary for 2.0 series).
  • (Launcher) New icon to distinguish the launcher from FS-UAE.

Changes in version 1.3.30:
  • (Launcher) New list control implementation for configurations list.
  • (Launcher) You can now type in the config list to jump to items.
  • (Launcher) Configuration list items are prefixed with an icon.
  • (Launcher) New setup page for importing kickstarts when starting the launcher for the first time.
  • (Launcher) Automatically scan for rom changes in main Kickstarts folder on startup.
  • (Launcher) Fixed backspace behaviour in config name text box.
  • (Launcher) Windows installer: explicitly put registry keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes instead of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Event: Photos and videos of Saku 2012
At the title link photos and videos of the Saku 2012 have been published. The Finnish Amiga User Group comment: "The event was held on September 29th in Oulu, the northern Amiga capital of Finland. The event was a success with around 70 visitors, which was achieved with proper advertisement and also promotion in other public events.

For example, we were asked to arrange some retro gaming at Oulu Arts' Night earlier this year and we got around 200 interested nostalgia gamers there. Amiga is not forgotten! Maybe we just should participate in more mainstream events to get people interested in our specific events as well.

Saku 2012 featured thirteen Amiga compatible and three Commodore 64 computers, four video projectors, several sales tables, game and programming competitions with prizes, demo and video shows and a very enthusiastic atmosphere.

Next year we aim higher with the Saku 2013 event. It will be held in southern Finland where the potential of reaching the masses is a lot higher. It will also be our 20th anniversary event. Be ready for it!

About Finnish Amiga Users Group:
Finnish Amiga Users Group (officially Suomen Amiga-käyttäjät ry) is a registered, non-profit organization dedicated to helping Finnish Amiga computer users by preserving and advancing the Amiga hobby and knowledge of the Amiga computing platform in Finland. The group aims to reach its goals through volunteer efforts such as maintaining a web site and discussion forum and organizing events. (snx)

Retro-Gaming: WHDLoad 17.1
With WHDLoad you can install games, scene demos and intros on your harddrive which originally could only be used from disks. Additionally several incompatibilities with new Amiga models were fixed.

Today the final version 17.1 has been released. Additionally since our last message with Antideluvian Sloppy Spectacle (Essence), created by BlackWine (info, image) a new package was uploaded.

Changes in version 17.1:
  • Fix: Formatting of termination reason string in register dump fixed on very long texts (Psygore)
  • Fix: If the vbr is moved by WHDLoad the interrupts of levels 4-6 (vectors $70..$78) are directly forwarded to the installed program now, in previous releases all the sanity checks and checks for the keyboard were done in each interrupt which has increased the latency and duration of the interrupts, now these checks are only performed in interrupt levels 1-3 or if the option CheckInts/S is used for all levels it seems that the increased amount of code put into the interrupts by the later WHDLoad versions has caused problems with several games, this is hopefully fixed now and these games will work with the current WHDLoad as good as with versions 16.8 or 16.9
  • Fix: On a 68020 the default cache setup was instruction cache enable, this bug has been introduced in version 17.0, now the default is again disabled (Toni Wilen)
  • Chg: The icon started from is only written if any gadget has been pressed, previously it were written everytime if Config or Expert was active (Graham)
  • Fix: Prevented a bug when FileLog/S will be disabled via the splash window
  • New: Resload_DiskLoad can now dump all read files, see autodoc
  • New: SnoopOCS/ECS/AGA/S checks also that writes to custom.aud*ptr are not outside BaseMem and are not equal zero, check is only performed on 68060 (Psygore)
  • Chg: WHDLoad now detects a filesize difference between the directory scan used for resload_Examine/ExNext requested by WHDLF_Examine and the file PreLoad, this may reveal filesystem problems in conjunction with dos.ExAll, e.g. ffs 39.x (issue #2575)
  • Chg: Documentation regarding patch lists in include and autodoc files improved
  • Fix: On chip memory only machines with Kickstart 3.0 or better slaves with WHDLF_Examine failed on building the directory cache due problems with exec.CreatePool (Psygore)

WHDLoad_usr.lha (1 MB)
WHDLoad_usr_small.lha (782 KB)
WHDLoad_dev.lha (3 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr)
