`14.Jul.2025`	Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 V1.0.5.1 Michal Schulz has released an update to his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture, focusing on the PiStorm and PiStorm32lite (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.0.5.1 offers two important changes, which Michal Schulz writes about: 1. New Firmware for PiStorm32Lite Claude Schwarz has prepared updated firmware for PiStorm32Lite devices, which should work much better in combination with Mediator boards. It has been extensively tested on the hardware we have available and appears to function properly. 2. Improvements Toward Better Networking As many of you know, the current wifipi driver is functional but far from ideal. It lacks country-specific radio settings, limiting channel availability, and only AES WPA-2 works reliably. There are also occasional lock-ups during large data transfers. For a while, I've been saying we need more developers working on hardware drivers - and it's finally happening! A developer from Poland has started working on an Ethernet driver for Pi4/CM4 models, and he's already made excellent progress. Version 1.1 of his emu68-genet driver is now available on GitHub. His driver required a small change in Emu68. He submitted a pull request a while ago, and I've now updated it to make it more broadly compatible. The original patch worked great but conflicted slightly with Pi3 models. Since the Pi3 uses an Ethernet adapter integrated with its onboard USB hub, the Genet driver shouldn't even attempt to run there. I've also applied a similar adjustment for the classic PiStorm (used in A500 and A2000). That said, there's no guarantee it will work, as Pi4 or CM4 compatibility with classic PiStorms varies. If it works for you - consider yourself lucky! (dr) [News message: 14. Jul. 2025, 22:42] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`12.Jul.2025`	Do it yourself: Programmable ROM module KickSmash32, Version 1.8 KickSmash32 is a Kickstart ROM replacement module that can be programmed directly under AmigaOS as well as via USB-C from Linux and provides eight flash banks for different ROM files. Since version 1.6, the Amiga 1200, Amiga 3000 and 4000 models, as well as the Amiga 4000CR and Amiga 3000T, are supported. The newly released Version 1.8 offers the following changes: hostsmash Now replays Kicksmash output to user when flash programming failure occurs. This will allow one to see an error that the Kicksmash FW emitted.. Improved auto byte order swapping to detect more ROM types ROM switcher Fixed bug where clicking + or - for Long Reset settings was broken. Spacebar now switches between PAL and NTSC. Kicksmash FW Worked around flash chip bug (0x90 to address 0x55) again. Fixed flash programming bug which caused missed data from the USB host. This bug was introduced at the workaround for the M29F160 flash chip bug. Added "set sw_timeout" command to set the ROM Switcher timeout Added "set sw_bank" command to set the ROM Switcher bank smash Added "set sw_timeout" command to set the ROM Switcher timeout Added "set sw_bank" command to set the ROM Switcher bank Documentation Updated FAQ to give better reason why to use Kicksmash. Updated FAQ with specific example of upgrading Kickstart to 3.2.3. Miscellaneous updates to the FAQ. Improved grammar in HW build and programming instructions. Updated SW hostsmash, smash, and smashftp documentation. (dr) [News message: 12. Jul. 2025, 08:18] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
