`19.Nov.2022` Michal Schulz (Mail)	Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 driver development for Compute Module 4 finished At the end of October, we reported that developer Michal Schulz was going to make all the necessary improvements and fixes to Emu68 and the low-level drivers needed to make them work properly with Compute Module 4. As he now reports in his latest Patreon blog entry, the work is considered almost complete. Furthermore an own adapter board is in work. There will be a version for Amiga 500/600 and one for PiStorm32-lite. The first will be smaller and simpler, the second will have more hardware on board, maybe even an NVMe port.

`19.Nov.2022`	SCSI-SD adapter: ZuluSCSI-Firmware 1.1.3 ZuluSCSI is a new generation of file-based SCSI hard disk and CD-ROM drive emulators. ZuluSCSI emulates a SCSI-I or SCSI-2 hard disk using an SD memory card (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.1.3 of the firmware was released today. Changes: Move platform and firmware version to top of log Fix problems with 256 byte sector size RP2040: Initial support for ROM drive in extra microcontroller flash space RP2040: ROM drive support RP2040: Report correct max ROM size in log RP2040: Add ability to disable ROM drive with zuluscsi.ini file (dr) [News message: 19.

`18.Nov.2022` Amigans	AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Odyssey scripts for GitHub and itch.io websites At the end of 2021, George 'walkero' Sokianos had provided a script for the Odyssey browser, after which you can display GitHub project pages correctly again (amiga-news.de reported). He has now updated it so that there should be no more overlaps in the display. Furthermore, he has published another script for the correct display of itch.io pages today. Please note that the browser has to be restarted after including the script. (dr) [News message: 18. Nov. 2022, 14:50] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`18.Nov.2022`	Emulator: vAmigaWeb v2.2 beta1 vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator for MacOS vAmiga. At the end of September, the version vAmigaWeb v3.0 beta1 was released, which had the MMU integration within the planned 68030 CPU as a goal. Since the 68030 hardware available in the development team turned out to be unsuitable, the MMU project was put on hold for the time being. In the now available version 2.2 beta 1, support for the Amiga three-button controller can be selected in the settings. Also, the emulator now has 20% to 40% more efficiency, however the minimum browser requirements have also increased: they are now Chrome V95, Firefox V100 and Safari V15.2.10. (dr) [News message: 18.

`17.Nov.2022` Thomas Claus (Mail)	AmigaOS 4: FTP client AmiFTP 1.953 At the beginning of 2010, for the last time amiga-news.de reported on the FTP client AmiFTP. Ten years later, Matthias 'djBase' Münch (maintainer of Amigaworld) started a discussion about the further development of the client on OS4Welt. A source code was found but not of the OS4 version. After requesting, Frank Menzel (Entwickler-X) agreed to examine the source code. After testing, first changes were made and adapted to AmigaOS 4 and compiler, bugs were removed and new small functions were added. After a longer break, the first version was released on Github in August 2022. An important step to preserve the source code and to motivate other developers to contribute to the project (e.g. SSL support). Javier de las Rivas has made many improvements and bug fixes since the release of the source code, which have been reviewed and put into a public main branch by Frank Menzel. This makes version 1.953 available to AmigaOS4 users and hopefully a start for further development on AmiFTP. Changes: Adaptions for first AmigaOS 4 version (Frank Menzel) Update project to be able to compile with GCC Switch GUI from ClassAct to Reaction Toolbar uses AISS Icon Set Switch from Reqtools to OS4 Requester Adapt AmiTCP Network Hook to work with Roadshow Remove obsolete DOS functions AmiFTP now works with files larger than 4GB Bugfixes Further enhancements and improvements (Javier de las Rivas) Speedbar can be changed to TEXT/IMAGES/BOTH "Cleaned" some of the GUI's ReAction code. Added missing speedbar buttons localized strings. Changed to use menuclass. Fixed disconnect button image when changing speedbar type (IMAGE\|TEXT\|BOTH). SelectFont() not needed (commented). Added 'UpdatedSpeedBar' to "fix" refresh speedbar when changing from prefs or from start (just "hide" it, not removed/freed). Localized rename requester. Fixed makefile to use "modified" FlexCat templates (C_c_amiftp.sd & C_h_amiftp.sd). Reworked some requesters and localization strings. UploadFile() was using fullpath+filename, thus creating (unwanted) dirs. Added notification support after upload/download. (dr) [News message: 17.

`17.Nov.2022`	Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga 2.2b1 After developer Dirk Hoffmann released version 2.1 of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for macOS in mid-August (amiga-news.de reported), he has now started the new cycle of pre-releases for version 2.2 with the first beta release. Changes: Enhancements Added cycle-accurate 68010 emulation Added experimental 68020 emulation Added VSYNC support The Cmd keys can be mapped to the Amiga keys without extra permissions Added support for mice with a third button The configurator panel can be opened as a window Added an automatic resizing option to the Window menu A broader range of hard-drive geometries is accepted now Bug fixes Fixed a bug related to sprite that were drawn outside the DIW Fixed a timing issue related to the SPRxPOS register The minimum system requirement for the emulator is macOS 10.15.

`17.Nov.2022`	Arcade port: Wonderboy released Wonderboy is an Amiga port of the first part of the Wonder Boy saga, of which only the sequel Wonderboy in Monsterland was available for the Amiga so far. The Amiga version was created with the help of the Scorpion Engine (amiga-news.de reported). Now 'acidbottle' has released the final version 1.0, which already runs on an Amiga 500 with 1 MB ChipRam and 1 MB FastRAM. (dr) [News message: 17.
