Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android and iOS platforms. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86, x64), Mac OS X (x86, x64, PPC) and Linux (x86, x64, PPC, ARM).

Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.
All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 7.1 now! This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business. (snx)

AmigaOS 4: Support for Polaris graphic cards (Enhancer Software)
Under the title link Matthew Leaman of A-EON Technology wrote that for the AmigaOS-4 extension "Enhancer Software" he guess the support for graphic cards equipped with AMD's Polaris chip set will be added.
This is also due to the Southern-Islands chipset cards of which only the variant of the Oland-based R7 240 was sold on the market.

ADF tool: TOSEC Checker 0.1
Steffest writes: With all the disk-imaging going on the past weeks with the Bamiga Sector One collection and others, we made a simple and accessible tool to quickly check if your freshly made ADF file is already in the TOSEC (The Old School Emulation Center) database or not.
Of course there already tools that do that, but they involve installing obscure software and hunting down and installing tons of database files. TOSEC Checker instead is a simple web-based tool: nothing to install. You drag a bunch of ADF files on the page and it tells you quickly if your disks are already in TOSEC or not.
As an added bonus you can click on a disk to browse it, view files in ASCII and hex and download files straight from the ADF image. It's like a TOSEC-enabled mini ADF Opus in your browser!
The tool is open source. We are open to any suggestions to improve it. - Enjoy! (snx)

Event: Reports and pictures from the Amiga Ireland Meetup 3.0
On 19. and 20. January the third meeting of the Amiga Users Ireland took place in Athlone. Trevor Dickinson (A-EON Technology) and David Pleasance (Commodore UK) attended the meeting and Mr. Dickinson interviewed Mr. Pleasance.
In this interview (video) the former Commodore manager - from about minute 34 - also talked about his engagement for the operating system "Friend" (amiga-news.de reported). After Hogne Titlestad in his open letter talked about native hardware in general, at the Amiga Ireland Meetup David Pleasance did speculate about a Raspberry-Pi-based "CD 1200" for Friend and a corresponding Kickstarter project.
Reports and further videos:

Amiga motherboard in ITX form factor: Amy ITX
Already for some years "Amy", which is an Amiga motherboard in standard ITX form factor (170x170 mm), is developed. The board has to be equipped with the Amiga-Custom-Chips, offers two Zorro slots (DMA is supported on one of the slots) and is compatible with accelerator boards like the Vampire 500, which are directly plugged in the processor socket.
According to the developers the project has been almost finished and works without any problems. So far 25 boards have been produced which were delivered to testers and enthusiats. If the project should be successfully finished a second production run is possible - if there is sufficient interest.

Emulator: WinUAE 3.6.0
Version 3.6.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE has been published. Compared to the features announced in the preview, the following changes have been added:
Core emulation updates:
- 68020/030 BCD instructions undocumented V flag behavior fixed (68000 was already correct)
New emulated hardware expansions:
Other new features and updates:
- Optional non-rawinput mouse and keyboard mode is back (-norawinput_all)
- Added Misc panel option to show WinUAE in Windows shutdown/logoff screen (Vista or newer) if emulation session is active
- JIT Direct is allowed in CyberStorm PPC configuration but it also disables CSPPC MAP ROM hardware feature

Bugs fixed

- Tape drive emulation fixes. Fixes Amix install error if last file on tape was selected for install

Text editor featuring Kickstart-1.2 compatibility: Redit 1.16
Kai Scherrer's text editor Redit works without any limitations on an Amiga equipped with Kickstart 1.2, but also is fully compatible with higher versions of the system. The editor can be also launched from an emergancy disk or used after booting without startup-sequence. In version 1.16 some minor bugs have been fixed:
- bugfix: a multiple line undo was not drawn properly. fixed
- bugfix: the displayed amount of occurrences of a find & replace
operation was always 0. fixed
- improved: Redit is now using INTUITICKS only when required, which
decreases the CPU usage with an idle, active window
- bugfix: in CLI mode an error code was never returned. fixed

Development: Hollywood APK Compiler 2.1
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the Hollywood APK Compiler 2.1. This version adds support for Android Studio 3.0 and makes the conversion of Hollywood applets into APKs even easier by erasing the direct dependencies on the Java Development Kit (JDK) and Gradle. Instead, the JDK and Gradle versions that are shipped with Android Studio are used now. So Android Studio is the only thing that is required by the Hollywood APK Compiler now.
Note that version 2.1 requires at least Android Studio 3.0 so existing users should only upgrade to this version if they also want to upgrade their Android Studio version. Keep in mind, though, that Google dropped support for older Android versions in Android Studio 3.0 so all APKs compiled by the Hollywood APK Compiler will require at least Android 4.0. If you still need to target Android 2.3, don't upgrade to the latest version of Android Studio and the APK Compiler. Finally, also note that version 2.1 is no longer compatible with 32-bit systems. It requires a 64-bit Windows so 32-bit users should also keep their old versions.
Version 2.1 of the Hollywood APK Compiler is now available for free download from the restricted download area for all existing Hollywood APK Compiler users.

Hollywood: Special offer to celebrate 2018
Press release: To celebrate the new year Airsoft Softwair are now officially the hardest DISCOUNTING men in code business because for a short time only Hollywood is now available for each platform individually for just half the price. This offer is very interesting for people who only want the Amiga version of Hollywood, for example. They can now buy Hollywood just for the Amiga platform (which includes native versions for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS, and WarpOS) for just 49 euros instead of 99 euros which is a saving of 50%! The same is true for people who only want the Linux, Mac OS, or Windows version of Hollywood. Single-platform licenses are now only 49 euros for a short time! People who want Hollywood for all platforms can still buy the all-round version for all platforms for 99 euros of course.
Note that the single-platform versions of Hollywood still support compiling for all platforms supported by Hollywood, so even if you only buy Hollywood for Amiga, you can still compile for all other platforms including Linux, Mac OS, and Windows as well!
