`24.Dec.2012` PPA (Webseite)	MorphOS: Odyssey Web Browser 1.18 Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has released another update of the WebKit-engine based web browser Odyssey for MorphOS. Among others the HTML5-compatibility was increased and uploading documents to Google Docs and Drive was improved. All changes are listed in the Readme-file. As usual there is also a version without SVG-support which uses less memory. Please note: If you have used instead of the version 1.17 from the website of the author the one from the MorphOS-CD 3.0/3.1, so please overwrite the file conf/font/fonts.conf during the installation. Download: owb-morphos-1.18.lha (26 MB) owb-morphos-1.18-nosvg.lha (24 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 24. Dec. 2012, 21:10] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`24.Dec.2012` MorphZone (Forum)	MorphOS: Status report on G5-port As a result of the bounty project two G5-PowerMacs as well as money have been donated for the port von MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported). Now there is also a first status report. wielkastopa wrote: "I got the first G5 machine set up on the 3rd of December and I have been busy with the MorphOS port since then. Basically the work so far has consisted of two major parts: Reorganising the Quark source code so that support for a second CPU architecture could be added and writing and testing all the code required to support the PPC64 architecture, and in particular the Powermac G5s. The G5 is incompatible to regular PowerPC CPUs in a number of, for MorphOS, important aspects, both when it comes to the supervisor mode and the user mode. Unfortunately some of the supervisor mode incompatibilities have been done in such a way that executing code written for PPC32 on the G5 will run without errors, but subtle differences in the operation of some instructions caused problems with system stability which were hard to track down. The good news is that I believe that all of these problems have now been tracked down and the system is running stable. When it comes to user mode differences, the G5 is lacking CPU instructions which are widely used throughout MorphOS' 68k emulators. Luckily Piru did some changes there and the emulators should work fine on the G5 now, although I haven't really tested it. So the status now is that the G5 boots to MorphOS and seems to run stable, however only USB and the on-board IDE interfaces are support by MorphOS drivers right now. The next things I will focus on is getting the on-board NIC and fan control working. Hopefully neither of those two will be particularly difficult, so that will likely be done some time this week."

`24.Dec.2012` Rupert Hausberger (ANF)	Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.7 Rupert Hausberger's Scripted Amiga Emulator is written in Javascript and thus should run under all modern web browsers, but so far its completely supported by Chrome only. Changes in version 0.7 (24.12.2012): Common: Chaned the project-name from 'Janus' to 'SAE' (Scripted Amiga Emulator) Separated the GUI form the core and rewrote most of it Simplified the whole code. This means, that functions are called faster Ported new Copper-, Blitter-, Audio-, Disk- and event-handling code from WinUAE 2.5.0 Moved all "beam-functions" to events.js, for faster access Added "CPU usage" to the GUI Added "Hall of Fame" CPU: Added support for exact cycling. The CPU have now 7.09 MHz on PAL and 7.16 MHz on NTSC respectively Added option for "Original" and "Maximum" speed. Audio: Added a ring-buffer before output. No more "bagpipe"-like audio Added a option to just emulate the hardware, but not to play any sound, e.g. "Agony" was not starting, if audio was disabled Display: Switched from RGB to the 565 texture-format-encoding in WebGL, which gives a little more speed Added support and a option for 4x scaling Fixed screen-draging in lo-hires-modes Added a option to disable the output. Can be used to better play music-demos Disk: Added support for different speed-modes Added support for extended ADF-files Enabled write support (to memory) Input: The F-keys do work normaly now, i.e F5 doesn't reload the emulator, backspace doesn't go to the last page, etc. Fixed bug in the joystick-emulation New games in version 0.7: Alien Breed Special Edition 92 Boby Blows Galactic Barbarian Dynablaster North'n'South Prince of Persia Project-X (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 24.
