Adapter for Playstation controller: Cyclone RX at ebay.uk
The British company KMTech offers a adapter for connecting a Playstation 1/2 controller to an Amiga at ebay.co.uk. Two push-buttons, autofire and fast autofire mode called "Rapidfire" are emulated. Additionally the controller button R2 (front right down) let you jump in Jump'n Run games.
The additional buttons of a CD32-joypad obviously are not emulated. Cyclone RX is advertised by "works with all models of Commodore Amiga" but using an A600 it might be necessary to adapt the adapter due to the limited space. The adapter costs £24.99 (about 31 Euro) plus about 2,95 Euro for shipping.

Amiga 600/1200: PCMCIA-SRAM-card can be preordered (Update)
In the Polish webshop of RetroAmi you can preorder a PCMCIA-card with 4 MB Fast-RAM for the Amiga 600 and 1200. It is equipped with SRAM ICs with 55 ns access time. This is supposed to boost a standard Amiga - according to SysInfo - to 1,67 MIPS (screenshot).
The card will be delivered at the end of August and costs about 50 Euro.
Update: (17:45, 28.05.14, snx)
Please note that the card is not buffered by a battery, thus any data stored in SRAM will be lost once the computer is turned off. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: E-UAE 0.8.29-PPC-JIT-Beta 3
Álmos Rajnai's integration of an just-in-time-compiler into the Amiga emulator E-UAE for PowerPC-systems was updated. The third beta provides a "register and flag optimization fix. You can turn it on in the configuration, just set comp_optimize to true."
According to the author, it is complicated to offer versions for G5-based systems, because he does not own such kind of hardware. The OS X-version now should work thanks to the support of Tobias Netzel. Having no working compiler, for now the MorphOS binaries are not released.

AmigaOS 4: Announcement of Extended Memory Objects
Under the title link, Hans-Jörg Frieden introduced Extended Memory Objects in a blog of Hyperion Entertainment. It is a kind of bank switching, which was basically used in 8-Bit home computers. In future under AmigaOS 4 it will physically use the memory sections of the computer which a 32-Bit operating system usually cannot access.

Preview-Videos: Point'n Click-Adventure "The Secret of Middle City"
"The Secret of Middle City" (TSMC) developed by the Italian team GDG Entertainment is a Point'n Click adventure written with Hollywood, which is supposed to be released for AmigaOS and Android. The programmer Gianluca "g0blin" Girelli has released some screenshots of the latest level of development of the game:
On Youtube during the last months videos of some "Tech Demos" (1,
2,
3) have been released, which do not show the latest graphic level of development but diverse technical aspects.
Since the year 2000, TSMC was anounced time and again (1,
2,
3,
4, 5), but meanwhile, according to Girelli, now the game is being developed further - a first alpha version was sent to testers.

68k-Core for FPGA: The "Apollo-Core" in use
The "Apollo-Core" is the reimplementation of a m68k-CPU in a FPGA, which was originally developed for the Natami.
Because instead of a CPU the Vampire 600 has a FPGA-unit, it can be used as test environment for the Apollo-Core. Now the developers (group shot) have released a first video (AVI-file), which shows a Vampire together with an Apollo-Core, running Amiga demos.
In order to be able to compare the demonstrated speed with different computers, the used demo is available for download (Executable, 70 KB). It shows the calculated frames per second: three figures in orange are integers, the fourth blue figure shows a tenth of a whole frame.
The Core is supposed to be made available as a free update to all owners of a Vampire, as soon as all software tests have been passed. According to Boehn other accelerator boards are in development, which have more powerful FPGAs and therefore are able to use other ALUs.
According to Gunnar von Boehn on a1k.org, the Apollo-Core is not a complete m68k-implementation. Currently it has the following features integrated:
- + the major part of the 68060 instruction sets
- - Bitfields are deactivated in the build
- + 68020 EA-modes are activated - if they use the Brief-Extension Format
- + indirect jumps are activated in the memory
- - indirect EA with Inner/outer displacement are deactivated in double memory
- The caches are coherent.
- - Memory stream detection and automatic prefetching are deactivated
- + Out of order memory access is activated
Hint of the editorial team: We do not kno how this limitations affect the compatibility or speed of different software. Because the used demo was offered by the Apollo developers themselves, it must be assumned that it is adapted to the features of the Apollo-Core at best.

AmiDARK: Game engine for sale
Frédéric Cordier describes the AmiDARK-engine as "Game Development Kit", which is highly inspired by DarkGDK. This a collection of macros and functions for C-programmers to simplify developing software.
In January, beta version 0.9 was released for AmigaOS 4 (for MorphOS version 0.7 is available). According to the author under the title link, now he is going to sell his project for about 2000/2500 Euro due to financial and domestic issues.
