Music: Psyria plans new album. Survey for song remake
Dennis 'Psyria' Lohr writes: After "The Last Obligation [EP] (2005)" and the following longplayer "The 2nd Chapter (2007)", fans had to be patient for another 11 long years, until 2018 - With the longplayer "Moving On" the long awaited follow-up finally succeeded. Regarding the fourth album, things should proceed a little faster this time ;-).

According to current plans, both new and old tracks are included as each reloaded version. Now you have the choice! Which tracks of Psyria's previous music albums would you like to have as a reloaded version? Cast your vote now! Voting ends on 05/19/2021." (cg) (Translation: bb)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 1.12
In version 1.12, Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer supports YouTube for the first time. For now, there are some limitations, though. Sometimes it helps to change the "allow media playback" setting or to spoof as an iPad for example.

Changes include:
  • Overlay based video playback
  • Experimental support for Media Source
  • Improvements in HLS playback
Wayfarer requires MorphOS 3.14 and 1 GB of RAM. A CPU with at least 1,5 GHz is recommended. For feedback to the author, besides the integrated crash report also e-mails to wayfarer at wayfarer.icu or the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used. (snx)

Wolfram Alpha search engine: AskYourAmiga 0.6 (update)
AskYourAmiga or AYA is a program for accessing the Wolfram Alpha answer engine (Wikipedia). It doesn't provide links to web pages, but answers to search queries directly - which can be processed graphically (e.g. as a curve).

Version 0.5 offers so-called "assumptions" - it is now possible to separate identical search terms. For example, a search for "Berlin" will distinguish between the cities with this name, the band name and the first name or family name.

Update: (20:05, 17.04.21, dr)
Marcus Sackrow has released version 0.6 which fixes a little bug, especially on AROS, that images prevent from loading properly. (cg) (Translation: bb)

Nintendo emulator: A/NES 1.2
The Nintendo emulator A/NES (not to be confused with A/NES Pro, which is based on the same source-code but with a rewritten graphics engine) had not been updated for more than 14 years. Now Morgan Johansson rediscovered his fun on working on the original version, which is restricted to ECS and AGA, respectively. Thus further releases are possible.

Changes in version 1.2:
  • Minor graphics optimizations
  • Rewrote stack-handling code (no more "stack overflow" errors)
  • Fixed bug related to Sprite-DMA that could crash the game
  • Removed some old debug-code that slowed things down (oops)
  • Added mapper 87

Programming contest: Results of BASIC 10Liner Contest
For the "BASIC 10Liner Contest" you could send in self written BASIC programms consisting of exactly 10 lines (amiga-news.de reported). Usually the winners are announced during the annual live show "NOMAM" ("Not only marvelous Atari machinery").

As Gunnar Kanold wrote, due to a case of illness the "NOMAM" could not be take place as planned. Therefore the results of the contest have been announced on Twitter little by little and finally the complete list has been published. On the Games list 2021 all programms are introduced with pictures. "The Children", released for Atari 800 XL, this year has been the winner of the category "EXTREM-256" getting an average score of 10,17 which was the best. This time no programms for Amiga was sent in.

Due to the overwhelming response, Gunnar Kanold is considering to change the mode of the contest: The team could hardly manage this large number of submissions. (dr) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood APK Compiler 3.3 and Remedios 1.1 released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood APK Compiler 3.3 and Remedios 1.1. The Hollywood APK Compiler is an add-on for Hollywood that allows you to compile your Hollywood scripts into stand-alone APKs for Android, ready to be distributed via the Play Store!

The Hollywood APK Compiler requires an x64 Windows system and Remedios requires a macOS system.

The major new feature in Hollywood APK Compiler 3.3 and Remedios 1.1 is support for Hollywood 9. Both programs support the full Hollywood 9.0 command set and runtime now. Furthermore, Remedios 1.1 adds support for Xcode 12 and Hollywood APK Compiler 3.3 adds support for Android Studio 4.1.

The updates are available free of charge for all existing customers and can be downloaded from the restricted download area. Note, however, that both programs require Hollywood 9 now. (dr) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: New audio driver for Intel HD Audio
A new AHI driver for AmigaOS 4 supports PCIe cards with sound chips meeting the HD Audio specifications. The archive also includes a simple "mixer" for controlling the volume.

Which cards do work (verified):
  • Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy FX (24bit/192kHz 5.1)
  • Startech PEXSOUND7CH (24bit/192kHz 7.1) -> Available under many different brands
  • Fransande 411944 (24bit/192kHz 7.1) -> Available under many different brands
Cards that should work:
  • Terratec AUREON 7.1 PCIe (will arive shortly for verfication)
  • Basically every combination of HDaudio controllers and HD audio multichannel codecs (eg. CA0113, CM8828, CM8888, CM9882A ALC898 etc)
Older cards that might work (no guarantees):
  • Asus Xonar Phoebus solo (CM8888 in combination with high quality discrete DACs)
  • Powercolor Devil HDX (CM8888 in combination with discrete DACs)
Cards that do not work (yet):
  • Core3d (CA0132) based Sound Blasters (Eg Z, AE-5, AE-7, AE-9 etc). These cards have a DSP (ca0132) instead of an audio codec. Support is planned but don't hold your breath because extensive and undocumented configuration is required.
Cards that will never work:
  • PCIe Asus soundcards that are on sale now. These cards are either AV100 ( rebadged CMI8788), CM8786 or C-media 6632AX (USB chip) based. Neither of these chips comply with the Intel HDaudio standard
  • Sound blaster Audigy RX and all other EMU based or X-FI based sound blasters. (do not comply with the Intel HD audio standard)
  • Non-PCIe soundcards in general like external USB cards

Georg Wittmann (formerly Hörmann) plans to release the source codes of his projects VirusZ and xvs.library after 15 years of inactivity. Before that he wants to make sure that his anti-virus software runs on AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS (m68k): Since he himself does not have most of the systems mentioned, he has written a short program that collects and outputs information about the current computer. He asks that as many users as possible with one of the mentioned operating systems run the program and send him the output by e-mail. (cg) (Translation: bb)

The 45 y.o. had been active since 1993 in the Amiga ASCII scene and recollects how much he did like to work with the text editor CygnusED back then. Today, however, he doesn't own an Amiga anymore and is rarely using an emulator even. (snx)

OnyxSoft: ZapperNG 1.2
ZapperNG by Stefan Blixth is an extended re-implementation of the MorphOS commodity Zapper by his former team fellow Adam Waldenberg. Unlike the original program, ZapperNG is also available for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and AROS (the latter being a port by Eugene Sobolev). Now version 1.2 has been released.

The commodity modifies the ZipWindow() function of intuition.library, i.e. the behaviour of the "zoom" symbol in the upper right corner of a window. Instead of switching between two sizes of a window, it becomes extended to the full screen. Depending of the chosen parameter, the screen's title bar is either omitted or not. Further options enable a balanced scaling to all directions, avoiding the active window to put into front, defining a hotkey as alternative to clicking the zoom symbol, and cycling between windows by pressing Alt-Tab.
