`18.Apr.2023`	MorphOS: Nanosaur V1.44 ported After Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky had compiled the source code of the game Nanosaur, originally published by Pangea Software in 1998 and now newly ported by 'jorio', for 32-bit Linux PPC (amiga-news.de reported), Bruno 'BeWorld' Peloille has ported the source code to MorphOS. SDL2 2.26.5, MorphOS 3.17 and the latest TinyGL update are required. (dr) [News message: 18. Apr. 2023, 21:24] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`17.Apr.2023`	SFX engine: Audio Mixer 3.1 Jeroen Knoester's Audio Mixer (YouTube video of version 2.0) allows real time mixing several samples onto a single channel (up to 4 samples on one channel), while maintaining high performance (3.7% CPU time for 4 samples mixed @ 11KHz on an standard 1MB A500). The author of the "Amiga Tech Files" - for example Different methods for Dual Layer Graphics - introduced first versions in such a blog post. Audio mixer 3.1 is a completely reworked version of that, featuring much more detailed documentation, extra examples, integration with C programs and several new features like looping samples, the internal 'voices' of the mixer being exposed, configuration through a config file (most things will be calculated automatically) and and no longer requiring samples to be a multiple of the mixer buffer size in length (samples can now be a multiple of 4 bytes instead, which saves RAM).

`16.Apr.2023` Christian Zigotzky (Mail)	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.

`16.Apr.2023`	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"). (dr) [News message: 16.
