Hollywood: APK Compiler 3.0 released

Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a brand-new version of one of the most popular add-ons for Hollywood 8.0: The Hollywood APK Compiler 3.0. This program converts Hollywood applets into stand-alone APK packages that can then be published on the Google Play Store where they will be available to billions of Android users. Once the Hollywood APK Compiler has been set up, the conversion of a Hollywood applet into an APK file takes only a few seconds.

Version 3.0 is a major update which adds support for Hollywood 8.0 as well as for RapaGUI 2.0. It also introduces a new build caching mechanism which greatly reduces build times. It is also possible to link whole directories of assets to the APK now and the plugin linker is much more efficient too. Furthermore, the Hollywood APK Compiler is now available in a Home Edition and a Professional Edition. The Professional Edition of the Hollywood APK Compiler removes the "Powered by Hollywood" splash screen, it allows you to execute custom Java code and it also allows the customization of the Hollywood APK Compiler's Android manifest and Gradle build scripts. See here for a detailed comparison between the Home and Professional Edition.

All people who have bought Hollywood 8.0 and a previous version of the Hollywood APK Compiler can request a free upgrade to the Home Edition of the Hollywood APK Compiler via e-mail. Alternatively, people who already own a previous version of the Hollywood APK Compiler can also upgrade to the Professional Edition with a discount. See here for more information.

Note that the Hollywood APK Compiler is currently only available for the Microsoft Windows platform because it requires the Java SE Development Kit (JDK) and the Android SDK, both of which are available for free download from the web. (snx)

WHDLoad: Version 18.4 released / New installers until 02.03.2019
Using WHDLoad, you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups to your harddisk that were only working from floppy disks previously. Version 18.4 provides many changes, bug fixes and new features, e.g. the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire button on the joystick in port #1 and a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad.
  • fix: option NoReq/S has also effect now for errors occuring in conjunction with option Data/K (issue #3690)
  • fix: patch list command PL_GA fixed in the WHDLoadCD32
  • fix: fixed wrong results with resload_ExNext introduced in 18.3, e.g. game Ork Attack (Psygore)
  • fix: in version 18.3 a CMD_STOP/FLUSH/START of input.device was added, this seems to cause problems on some configurations, to avoid them the code has been removed again
  • chg: cpu cache handling in kickemu changed, there are new options CACHECHIP and CACHECHIPDATA, the behavior of option CACHE has been reverted to pre HDLoad release 18.3, with option CACHE all caches are enabled for expansion memory if MMU is used, with option CACHECHIP the instruction cache will be enabled for all memory independent from from WHDLoad's MMU usage, option CACHECHIPDATA will enable data and instruction cache for all memory, if no CACHE* option is set the cache are disabled now, in previous releases the cache setup wasn't modified which resulted in WHDLoad's default cache setup where inst/data cache is enabled for ExpMem/Slave if MMU used - similar to option option CACHE where additionally the 68060 stuff is enabled (branch cache, superscalar, write buffer), please consult also the provided kick.readme
  • chg: kickemu kick13.s has been modified to work with data cache in chip memory, gfx.Text now uses the cpu to clear the temporary buffer instead the blitter
  • new: macro PL_STR0 added to the patch list commands which will write the given string plus a 0-byte to the destination
  • new: italian keymap added to the docs (thanks Luca Longone)
  • fix: kickfs: with IOCACHE to order of writes is now preserved, in previous releases it was not, which could cause switches to the operation system on resload_SaveFileOffset because offsets outside the current filesize
  • chg: if SplashDelay=0 and ConfigDelay>0 the splash window is opened if there is a config (Juuso Salmijärvi)
  • chg: the local option Config now overwrites a config string contained in the Slave
  • chg: option Preload/S can also be used in the global configuration file
  • fix: using Snoop on the 68030 the fire button bits in cia.ddra can be set to output mode now (reading joypad), previously this was only allowed on 68040/60 (StingRay)
  • chg: BaseMemory is now allocated in possible three parts to reduce memory requirements if higher areas of chip memory are already used by the system
  • new: a segtracker modul has been added to all kickemu variants, equal to the known utility SegTracker by Michael Sinz this will track all loaded executables, WHDLoad will use this information to display name and offset in all error messages, this will make it easier to locate causes for malfunctions in kickemu installed programs
  • chg: the calculation of exec.ChkSum in kick12/13.s has been fixed
  • fix: if SegTracker was used and no matching segment was found WHDLoad displayed sometimes some garbage, this has been fixed
  • chg: all the sources provided by JOTD has been updated to the latest level, nonvolatile.s has been removed because the sources are now using the nonvolatile.s provided by WHDLoad, thanks to JOTD
  • chg: WHDLoadGCI allows now opening a new memory window from the address under the cursor in a memory window, a bug in partial extraction of Base/ExpMemory has been fixed
  • chg: a patch has been added to all kickemus to disable the key repeat of the input.device after a switch to the operating system, this should avoid problems on first time save operations triggered by a keypress
  • new: the splash window can also be closed now pressing the fire button on the joystick in port #1
  • new: a new special quit key has been added which quits by pressing Reverse, Forward and Play together on a joypad
  • chg: WHDLoad no longer tries to open the audio.device, there was not much benefit from it and to leave it avoids any requesters if already open by another application

Additionally, the following installers have been added until March 2nd, 2019:
  • 2019-03-01 improved: Bubble Bobble (Firebird) support for 2-button joystick and joypad added (Info)
  • 2019-02-25 improved: Superfrog (Team 17) joypad control added, floppy version chip memory reduced (Info)
  • 2019-02-24 improved: Battle Squadron (Innerprise) joystick 3rd button supported, CUSTOM3=1 to detect automatically if a joystick/pad or mouse is connected, CUSTOM4=1 to skip the blitter wait patch (Info, Image)
