Internet radio: TuneFinder 1.1b (update)
Marcin Spoczynski's TuneFinder enables users to search internet radio stations with various filter options. Results are displayed in a list with detailed station information, and the app includes options to save selections as either a complete PLS playlist for playing them via AmigaAMP directly from within Tunefinder or as individual station files (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.1 provides the following changes:
- Redefined GUI to single screen layout
- Added configurable result limit in settings
- Improved save settings functionality
- Enhanced GUI highlighting and visibility
- Improved REXX communications
- Added German translation (Thomas Blatt)
- Added Polish translation
- Added Amigaguide doc
Update: (06:24, 20.11.24, dr)
Version 1.1b is now available, which provides a fixed list of countries and an Italian language catalog.

Universal PCI driver system: OpenPCI 10.2 (Update)
Thomas 'Thor' Richter's universal PCI driver system "OpenPCI" supports all known PCI solutions for the Amiga without recourse to the software of the respective manufacturer. The current version 9.3 fixes two minor bugs:
- the PCI config area parser skipped over Type 1 PCI headers and hence could have never supported bridges
- the library now only enables the IO and Memory BARs after the final BAR configuration has been written, hopefully avoiding trouble for devices that react strange if BARs contain invalid values.
Update: (17.11.24, 15:00, cg)
By now, Richter has released version 10.2, which includes the following changes:
- Preferences are now parsed before BAR registers
are sized. This has the effect that the IGNORE
command for BARs will also prevent that the
ignored BARs are even written to.
- Matching a PCI by class code in PCI-configuration
could have trashed memory.
- The SetInterrupt command in PCI-Configuration failed
to reroute interrupts and thus was mostly useless.
- SetInterrupt and SetPri may have failed to configure
PCI devices correctly on the A1200 mediator.
- In PCI-Configuration, the device function is now
separated by a dot from the device ID to mirror
the syntax of lspci.
- Added a new SLOT keyword to most commands for
PCI-Configuration to identify a device by its bus
number, slot number and (optionally) function number.

Porting Amiga applications to Linux: AxRuntime 41.12
Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz' "AxRuntime" is a runtime environment for Linux that emulates the AmigaOS API and thus enables ports of Amiga applications to Linux or the development of applications that can be compiled for both AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS and Linux.

- Introduced support for running under WSL2 (deadwood)
- Implement clipboard synchronization between AxRuntime ad Linux/Windows hosts (deadwood)
- Have SYS: assign under user home and editable (deadwood)
- Support allocating MEMF_EXECUTABLE memory (deadwood)

D520 video converter: another production run from Alinea Computer
Press release: The popular D520 external video converter is once again being produced by Alinea Computer. The electronics and firmware are the same as the previous version. However, a new aluminum housing has been chosen and the labeling has been adapted.
The D520 is plugged into the video port of the Amiga and converts the video and optionally the audio output - provided it's also been connected to the Amiga's audio connectors using a provided cable - to a HDMI signal.
In order to better estimate the size of the planned production run, the new D520 can already be pre-ordered at the e-mail address info@alinea-computer.de.
A detailed product description and pictures of the D520 can be found in our store. (cg)
