Memory game: MeMO 3.13
Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua has released an update of his memory game MeMO. His game is based on the classic memory card game but in his port two payers can simultaneously play for getting the best highscore. MeMO requires a 68020 processor and the ECS graphic chip. Changes of this release:
- Fixed a (seemingly innocuous) bug (an OR instruction in place of a MOVE instruction) in card matching code.
- Improved card matching policy by considering it a mistake also when the second card flipped had already been flipped before, even if the first card has been flipped just once and/or its twin card has not been flipped yet.
- Made a couple of tiny optimizations.
- Changed design of 'M' and 'N' letters (they were basically lowercase, which was inconsistent, as the only lowercase letter was supposed to be the 'e' in "MeMO").
- Changed alignment of logo in menu screen by 1 pixel right/down.
- Adapted to and recompiled against further improved custom framework.
- Reworked game icon.
- Added floppy disk and manual icons.
- Improved/extended manual.

Amigakit threatening to oppose registration of 'Amiga Addict' mark in the UK
British print magazine Amiga Addict started publishing half a year ago on a mostly monthly schedule. Back in February, publisher Simulant Systems Ltd. filed a trademark application for the magazine's name and logo with the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO). As Simulant is now announcing on Twitter, British Amiga dealer AmigaKit is trying to oppose that registration.
AmigaKit's reaction to the announcement was also posted on Twitter: According to them, the notice the publisher received is not opposition, it's (quote) "simply a formal standard mechanism to give us up to a month to communicate with Simulant Systems Ltd."
Note from staff: According UK IPO, the process used by AmigaKit does indeed extend the registration process by a month automatically. But it is actually referred to as "Notice of threatened opposition", and Simulant's answer to the Amigakit statement makes it clear that so far, there have been no attempts to communicate.

Amiga disks on PC: Arduino Amiga Floppy Disk Reader/Writer V2.6
Similar to ADF Drive, Robert Smith's project "Arduino Amiga Floppy Disk Reader/Writer" uses a a micro controller - an Arduino board - for enabling a common PC disk drive reading and writing Amiga disks.
In version 2.5 recently the direct access to a disk, inserted into a disk drive of a PC, from the emulator WinUAE was introduced. Version 2.6 now improves disgnostics and reading disks. Additionally SCP (Supercard Pro) files for backing up non-AmigaDOS disks can be created. A WinUAE preversion which demonstrates the direct access to disks can be downloaded.
All documents of Smith's project are available on GitHub under a free license. (dr)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 2.0
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer is now available in version 2.0. Reason for the version leap is change of the browser's core: Now Wayfarer is based on the latest stable implementation of WebKitGTK (2.32.1), which is about one year newer than the one Wayfarer 1.x used, proving this project's sustainability.
Most visible feature introduced by this is support of the so-called "dark mode" offered by some websites (example video). Furthermore some bugs have been fixed - in the past, checkmarks were not rendered at some websites for example. Please note that the ICU files included in the archive must be moved to MOSSYS: in order to run latest Wayfarer.
Changes in detail:
- Rebased to latest stable WebKitGTK (2.32.1)
- Implemented Dark Mode
- Fixed a crash in HLS video playback
- Worked around an issue preventing sites from loading, etc after quit confirmation requester got cancelled
- Fixed webkit message log functionality that crashed if the resulting message contained formatting sequences
- Changed rendering of elements like checkmarks that were missing on some websites
- Out-of-RAM crashes no longer bring up the Send Bugreport messagebox
Required are MorphOS 3.15 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 tool also e-mails to wayfarer at wayfarer.icu or the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used. (snx)
