Hyperion Entertainment and Individual Computers sign license agreement
Press release: today, Hyperion Entertainment CVBA (Belgium) and Individual Computers GmbH (Germany) have signed a license agreement for use of Kickstart 1.3 and Kickstart 3.1 ROMs in processor accelerators for Amiga 500, Amiga 1000, Amiga 2000 and Amiga 2500.
In addition to the binary license, Hyperion will grant Individual Computers access to the source code of the IDE driver for further development which may facilitate installation of AmigaOS 4.1 and beyond.
The first product to make use of this license will be the entry-level accelerator for Amiga 500 called ACA500: With both Kickstart images in the flashrom of this product, the user will benefit from best compatibility with floppy-based and CF/harddisk-based software.
Further, the flashrom of ACA500 will contain the FAT95 filesystem, which allows accessing PC-formatted CF cards in the second CF card slot of the ACA500. Automatic mounting software will eliminate the need for a complicated installtion procedure. Special thanks go to the author of FAT95 Torsten Jager, who has put his work under LGPL per our request.

FPGA Arcade: Another production started
According to Mike Johnson under the title link, another production of his FPGA Arcade has started. First, 100 of 500 planned boards are produced. They will be probably delivered in April.
The latest change is an USB-adapter which replaces the PS/2-port and which can be also upgraded to older boards. Next week a new beta core will be released. The FPGA Arcade based on the Minimig can be used for emulating the Amiga.

ACA 500: New prototype
In a post at a1k.org, Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers has presented a new prototype of his announced Amiga 500-extension ACA 500. Compared with the version presented four weeks ago, now the board lies horizontally next to the computer.
This additional prototype has caused increased development costs which according to Schoenfeld is compensated by removing the high-grade steel cover.
The compatibility with the well-known Blizzard accelerator boards produced by Phase 5 has been improved as well: A Blizzard 1230-IV does now work properly although Individual Computers will not give any function guarantee for any of these boards.
For all those customers who are not going to install an A1200-extension on the ACA 500, maybe a version with 4 MB RAM will be offered. But this version would probably cots at least 30 Euro more than the standard model which is equipped with 2 MB.

Amiga 1000: Collective order of replacement board GBA1000 Rev. 4
Still until March 11th you can order an unloaded replacement board GBA1000. You can pay the 46 Canadian Dollar (about 34 Euro) via PayPal. The international shipping costs have to be paid as well. All components (chips, resistors) which you have to buy seperately will probably cots about 150 to 200 US-Dollar.
So far over 150 boards have been ordered. Together with the revision 4 of the GBA1000-board (photo of a previous version) you can use e.g. the flickerfixer Indivision ECS.

TCP stack: Roadshow 1.9
An Update for Olaf Barthel's TCP-Stack Roadshow has been released. It is available from the official website for free download. Changes in Version 1.9:
- The names of the configuration files for network interfaces had to be adapted because they were too long (> 15 characters). This applied to files that have been added for MorphOS and Poseidon USB. Long names are now all shorter.
- The names of the network drivers for Poseidon USB have not all been correct and had to be corrected.
- The documentation now goes into more detail how to add a server in "DEVS:Internet/servers" and includes specific examples.
- In "DEVS:Internet/servers" new entries for the use of Samba have been added, and have to be activated after you have installed Samba.

ACube Systems: Audio issue on some Sam460-boards identified
Press release: The problem with the crackling audio on some Sam460ex boards/AmigaOne 500 systems has been identified.
For some reasons, still under investigation, a few boards miss a resistor (R267).
This 0 ohm resistor is responsible for the clock source selection of the AC97 codec, without it the codec runs at a wrong frequency which causes the crackling audio.
If you have a sound quality problem with your Sam460ex board/AmigaOne 500 system, please check if the R267 resistor is in place or not. See this photo from the bottom of the board.
If the resistor is missing, it could be easily fixed just soldering the two open pads together, for such fix we suggest to contact your reseller.
Alternatively the problem may be mitigated with a special sm502.audio driver which minimizes (but not completely removes) the noise. Download and try this alternate driver.

Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 2.6.0
As usual the developers of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE habe given a preview to the forthcoming version. WinUAE 2.6.0 is supposed to be released in Spring 2013 with the following changes:
New features:
- SCSI and ATAPI (IDE) CD drive emulation.
- Full 68030, 68040 and 68060 MMU emulation. Amix, Linux, NetBSD, Enforcer,
WHDLoad MMU option and more fully working.
- Built-in full CHD CD and HD image support. HD image support is read-only.
- Partial partition hardfile on the fly eject/replacement support, requires
filesystem that has removable drive support.
- Multiple Direct3D shader filters can be enabled simultaneously, optionally
shader can be now run after scaling and filtering.
- Directory filesystem shortcut (.lnk) and symbolic links are mapped to
Amiga soft links.
- Added support for mountlist-like hardfile configuration files.
Updates:
- A590/A2091/A3000 SCSI emulation compatibility improved. (Amix, NetBSD etc..)
- A2065 network adapter compatibility improved. (Early NetBSD versions)
- 68040 MMU emulation compatibility improved.
- Multithreaded IDE and SCSI emulation, slow read or write operations won't
temporarily pause the emulation anymore.
- When CPU double faults, emulated CPU is halted instead of forcing instant
emulated hardware reset.
- Custom chipset emulation improved (Subtle Shades / Nuance).
- Full Amiga file timestamp resolution (1/50s) support on FAT directory
filesystems.
Fixed bugs:
- If display mode switched from RTG to native (or vice versa) and WinUAE window
had no focus: emulation incorrectly started receiving keyboard input.
- 1.5M chip ram option didn't work.
- GamePorts panel Swap Ports button cleared custom mappings.
- 68060 + more compatible checked was unreliable.
- 68040/68060 no FPU/FPU disabled exception stack frame fixed.
- A2024 and Graffiti emulation memory leak fixed.
- FPU rounding mode was reset when using filters.

Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.1.28 (Beta)
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE for Windows, Mac OS X 10.5+ (i386, PPC) and Linux (i386, AMD64) is based on WinUAE and can be completely controlled with a joypad. Changes in the latest beta version:
- For directory hard drives, save file attributes in .uaem files (permissions, timestamp, file note).
- Fix for directory hard drives so correct case is reported back to the Amiga when the Amiga opens a file with another case than what’s stored.
- Report local time for files in directory hard drive.
- Use re-entrant / thread-safe variants of time functions.
- Reverted the scanline function to its older / simpler behavior, use the shader “scanlines-nonlinear” instead.
- New shaders included: scanlines-classic (same as scanline CPU filter), and scanlines-nonlinear (a scanline filter which varies with pixel intensity and also introduces some pixel blending).
- Text cache texture size is now 2048×2048 (was 1024×1024).
- For automatic directory hard drive volume label, only use the part before an opening parenthesis (if it exists).
- New options to configure what screenshots to save and where to save them.
- A bit more compact naming of screenshots, and reset sub-minute counter for each minute (makes sorted names always cronological even with large number of screenshots).
- Can now bind keys to action_screenshot, notification replaces previous notification (of same type).
- Lua scripts can be used to read/write Amiga memory, position the output video rectangle, change shader (experimental feature).
- Support /dev/tty as the serial output [Jason S. McMullan].
- Patch for Linux CD ioctl support [Jason S. McMullan].
- Removed a some useless stubs printed to stdout, removed several printf statements logging stuff to stdout.
- Updated translations: fi [GoingDown], cs [spajdr].
- (Launcher) Make sure the nickname is a valid IRC nickname (net play).
- (Launcher) Fixed problem where .fs-uae configurations could in some cases disappear from the configuration list when refreshing the online database.
- (Launcher) Fixed a bug where config name was saved in config file if based on a config from online database.
- (Launcher) Automatically set screenshots_output_prefix based on floppy name.
- (Launcher) If A500 kickstart is not found on startup, look for Amiga Forever in default location and add kickstarts to database if found (Windows).
- (Launcher) Add Amiga Forever shared documents directory to search path.
- (Launcher) Index files in .rp9 archives, contained disk images can be used with the online database (when match is found).
- (Launcher) Support file comments for WHDLoad slave files when using the online database, comments are stored in .uaem files. Fixes Embryo.
- (Launcher) Allowing selecting .lha files as hard drives.
- (Launcher) Fixed an issue with selecting Amiga 1000 (2.1.26).

Prototype: Minimig-case in A1000-style
In mid-January, Thomas 'Tommes' Koch had presented his designs for a Minimig-case which is similar to the design of an Amiga 1000. Now Koch has a first prototype produced and presents photos of it (is still not varnished) for the first time:
Koch is satisfied with quality and accuracy of fit but is going to change some minor details. The price has not been yet fixed ("between 110 and 180 Euro"). If a low volume production was started, it might be possible to varnish the case directly at the producer.

ACube Systems: onchipmem.resource for Sam460ex-boards
With the onchipmem.resource, under AmigaOS 4.1 ACube Systems provides developers access to the buffer memory of the APM460Ex-SoC. This is much faster than the main memory, nearly as fast as the level-2-cache of the processor.
The buffer is meant to handle application data or to faster exchange data with the video memory. The archive includes a description as well as example source code.

Accelerator board: Vampire 600 is stable
Two years ago Igor Majstorovic announced the FPGA-based accelerator board Vampire 600 for the Amiga 600. According to the developer in the VooDoo-Amiga forum this board is stable and is currently tweaked. He then is going to produce (after the revision) 50 boards with 8 MB memory, and then with 64 MB.
Compared with accelerator boards which have a proper 680x0-processor, like the Fúria EC020, currently the Vampire has a lower performance speed (checked by Sysinfo): With a 72 MHz clocked FPGA, 1332 Dhrystone-instructions per second, compared with the Fúria, which features 4846 on its 28 MHz MC68EC020FG25.

A-EON Technology: HD-Audio-driver working
In his blog on the website of A-EON-Technology, Trevor Dickinson told that Lyle Hazlewood recently has started working on the HD-Audio-driver for the AmigaOne X1000. Actually now under AmigaOS 4 sound output is possible over the onboard-chip. Therefore there is no need for a PCI-sound board any more. Currently he is working on the AHI-driver.
Additionally, Lyle Hazlewood together with the USB-stack developer Sebastian Bauer figured that it is possible to record USB-sound over the onboard-ports of the AmigaOne X1000 with the existing stack. But there are some problems with the Sam-boards. They possibly are going to develop an AHI-USB-driver.
Trevor Dickinson has started on a journey to Europe and will meet members of Varisys for talking about hardware and future plans. He is also going to meet other "Amiga" companies and developers.

Guillaume 'zzd10h' Boesel has updated four of his AmigaOS-4 programms: AttachMail, FastCompress, NetDock and SysMon.
- AttachMail allows to add attachments to eMails per context menu (YAM and SimpleMail). In version 1.1 among others a Ringhio-notification was integrated
- FastCompress allows to pack files and drawers with two mouse clicks (LHA, LZX, ZIP, 7z). In version 1.4 the Ringhio-notification was added as well as the name of the archive specified by taking the biggest, included file/drawer - if no other name was specified
- NetDock is a docky which displays the network activity and now in version 50.2 can be also to miniaturized. Additionally three ToolTypes as well as AmiUpdate-support were added
- SysMon is MUI-based and allows to identify and remove frozen windows, to change priorities of tasks and processes and to watch drives, assigns and system information. Additional to the Ringhio-notification, in version 2.8 bubble help for different IDETool-gadgets were added
