`14.Dec.2022`	Minimig: Revision 1.91 In mid-March we reported on revision 1.8 of Minimig: the reimplementation of an Amiga 500 in an FPGA, a field-programmable gate array. After six months of development, Minimig REV 9 is now available. Accelerator cards like the TerribleFire 534 and 536 can now run at 50MHz, caching of kick.rom of the PiStorm is now possible as BOOTROM has been replaced by a new ESC/OCS chip - MIA. REV 9 offers not only hardware changes but also software updates. In addition, this board is 6-layer and has a revised voltage regulation. And the MC68SEC000 can be operated at up to 60MHz. The card (without housing) is currently sold out, otherwise it is listed in the shop for around 330 Euros. (dr) [News message: 14.

`14.Dec.2022`	Debugging tool: PatchWork 1.1 In keeping with yesterday's Advent calendar door, Richard Körber has released version 1.1 of his debugging tool "PatchWork" (amiga-news.de reported). Changes: New TASKNAME option, which only reports hits caused by tasks with the given name. Note that this is just an output filter. Options like DEADLY still apply to all tasks. Use short relocation tables, prohibits loading on Kick 1.x (dr) [News message: 14. Dec. 2022, 05:43] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`13.Dec.2022`	Kickstarter campaign: Update on the Checkmate 19" IPS Retro Monitor About three weeks ago, Stephen Jones launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund monitors for retro computers (amiga-news.de reported). Five days remain and so far 138.938 of the required 239.785 Euro have been funded. Jones has taken this interim status as an opportunity to publish a condensed version of the video presentation of the project. On the other hand, he is now offering a so-called "Festive Placeholder Deposit": here, all those who cannot afford the full contribution can still reserve a monitor for a minimum amount of around 117 euros. However, supporters who pay the full amount will be delivered first. (dr) [News message: 13. Dec. 2022, 15:39] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`13.Dec.2022` Dimitris Panokostas	Mastodon-Client: Update on Amidon development status The author of the Amiga emulator Amiberry, Dimitris 'MiDWaN' Panokostas, is in the process of developing a Mastodon client for AmigaOS 3 (amiga-news.de reported). In a blog entry published on his Ko-fi page he now reports about the current state. Among other things, an "anonymous" avatar is now included by default and is shown until the user logs into the server. (dr) [News message: 13.

`13.Dec.2022` Cloanto (ANF)	Cloanto: Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 10 Press release: December 12, 2022 - Cloanto released today version 10 of Amiga Forever and C64 Forever, the official Commodore/Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows. The new editions are the result of almost two years of development since the previous major version 9. Cloanto's RetroPlatform framework is the result of a lot of effort to make Amiga and CBM 8-bit features and interfaces appear effortlessly unified. The two packages now encompass more than 700K lines of code written by Cloanto, integrating with a collaborative endeavour of emulation plugins and content preservation. Before adding visible features, a priority of this version consisted in the removal of speed and space constraints. Some of the old barriers may have been out of sight before, but the result after upgrading is a satisfying sensation of increased freedom and power: the title editor opens and closes in an instant, large media files are handled with more ease, while windows and other elements that used to be fixed can now be resized. Content folders can be added anywhere under Amiga Files and CBM Files, while new personal playlists and improved content shortcuts offer more ways to rapidly access titles and folders stored on any disk. Amiga Forever 10 includes direct support for FloppyBridge-compatible floppy drive and controller devices (e.g. DrawBridge, Greaseweazle, SuperCard Pro, Waffle). Whereas previous versions only supported floppy disk images, now physical floppy drives and disks can be accessed by the emulation. No additional software is required. New and improved features: Revamped Amiga Files: custom folders, subfolders and folder shortcuts can be added anywhere to better organize titles and to handle massive content collections Improved player, including personal playlists, pervasive Rename, Cut, Copy and Paste commands, and intuitive resize of preview area and emulation window Faster title editing and application responsiveness: quick opening and closing of the title editor (asynchronous content extraction, differential compression) and runtime optimizations when working with large media images Direct support for FloppyBridge-compatible floppy drive and controller devices like the DrawBridge, Greaseweazle, SuperCard Pro and Waffle (drives work in Amiga emulation, no additional software required) Hayes-compatible "internet modem" to access your favorite BBS systems Improved Windows File Explorer and Search integration: enhanced thumbnail provider to preview screenshots and box shots, and new details in property handler to view and index RP9 title properties Support for new features introduced in Windows 11 and Windows 10 versions up to 22H2 Hundreds of other new features and refinements Amiga Explorer 10 has already been released a few days ago. As always, we are grateful to the many friends who supported this project and our Amiga passion, vision and hope. Special thanks to Toni Wilen. Current and soon-to-be Amiga serial and print integration features would not have been possible without his help. (dr) [News message: 13.

`11.Dec.2022`	Analogue Pocket: Amiga core V0.0.6 Alpha The handheld game console Analogue Pocket (Wikipedia) is FPGA-based and as such supports modules from Nintendo, Sega, the PC Engine or the Atari Lynx. The early version 0.0.6 Alpha of the Amiga core mentioned in our last news item has now been released: some interlaced games have been fixed, and the floppy controller speed has been increased.

`11.Dec.2022`	Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 graphics driver development In his latest blog entry, developer Michal Schulz reports on the work he has started with the P96 VideoCore driver and in particular with the VPU (Vector Processing Unit). In a short Video he demonstrates the VideoCore driver for the P96 RTG subsystem, which is somewhat accelerated thanks to the VPU unit, using a 2560x1440x32 screen with a moving window, loading a large JPG image in MultiView and scrolling the image in the rather large MultiView window on an Amiga 600. Claude Schwarz, on the other hand, reports in a tweet that the PiStorm32-lite beta boards (amiga-news.de reported) have passed the smoke test and also boot as expected in the Amiga 1200.
