AmiModRadio 0.991 with rating function
AmiModRadio is "a program to automatically download, extract, and play modules from Aminet." In version 0.991 a rating function has been added (from 1 to 5). All common ratings can be looked at as well as your own ones - if it is possible, because according to the author the ratings are saved on an Amiga-Server and are connected to the IP-address.

Arcade/Memory-Mix: Blocky Skies
In "Blocky Skies" you have to move your game character from the left to right side of the the screen - along a predefined route. This does not sound difficult? You can see the route only for a short while.


Blocky Skies requires a PAL-Amiga with 512 KB RAM. You can download a bootable ADF-image (packed in a LhA-archive) or the hard drive install. The game was written in assembler, the source codes as well as the C source code of all developer tools used for Blocky Skies are available on Github. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Emulator: WinUAE 3.3.0
Toni Wilen has released version 3.3.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE which mainly provides AmigaOS-4 adaptions. The developer thanks all donators who supported that. He also pointed out that "performance is not (and can't be) as fast as with m68k AmigaOS, especially with directory harddrives, due to slower, much more complex UAE to/from native code context switch trap system."

New features:
  • New optional "indirect" UAE expansion trap system, fully compatible with OS4.x, virtual memory and some debugging programs
  • PC Bridgeboard disk drive raw image support. (ipf, ext adf, ...)
  • Monochrome video out emulation, including A1000 color/mono video out software control (BPLCON0 COLOR bit)
  • Dark palette fix option to correct colors of badly ported Atari ST games (Midnight Resistance etc.)
  • Official CSPPC/BPPC flash updater can be used to install full ROM image without having existing ROM image
  • Custom input events can execute Amiga-side commands and scripts
  • Windows clipboard to emulated Amiga keyboard paste support
  • Variable refresh rate optimized vsync mode (G-Sync/FreeSync)
  • Black frame injection is supported in variable refresh modes
  • IVS Trumpcard Pro/GrandSlam SCSI emulation
OS4.x supported UAE expansions:
  • Directory harddrives, including on the fly insertion/removal
  • CDFS CD mounting
  • Clipboard sharing
  • uaegfx RTG
  • uaehf.device hardfiles
  • Virtual mouse driver/magic mouse/tablet mode
  • uaenet.device
  • uaeserial.device
  • uaescsi.device
  • uae.resource
  • uaenative.library
Updates:
  • Game Ports panel input customization is finally very intuitive
  • On the fly input device insertion/removal improvements
  • Many input device handling updates and fixes
  • Faster screenshot/capture in after filtering mode
  • Continuous screenshot mode
  • CD³² Akiko chip low level emulation compatibility improved
  • Nero .nrg CD image support
Bug fixes:
  • Hardware RTG emulation rendered same frame twice in some situations causing slow performance
  • Amithlon partition type (0x78/0x30) support works again
  • Some storage devices failed to mount as a harddrive
  • AGA subpixel scrolling glitches
  • Miscellaneous custom chipset emulation fixes
  • AGA mode HAM6 colors were not 100% accurate
  • Some programmed custom chipset display modes crashed
  • Direct3D mode DirectX9 not installed warning corrupted memory
  • Fullscreen + paused + enter GUI: GUI was invisible
  • Display panel gamma value calculation fixed
  • CDFS automount didn't mount CDs with empty label

Amiga at the Royal Navy: WxWatch
Many fans of the Amiga know that the computer was used by the NASA. But the software provider Anticyclone now claimed that it was also used on ships of the British Royal Navy: On its website the company introduces "WxWatch", which is a "APT Weather Satellite image processing system which gave excellent results even under demanding conditions."

The Amiga is not mentioned by name, but the screenshots as well as parts of the text ("32 bit pre-emptive multitasking operating system", "ARexx scripting language") provide clear indications. (cg) (Translation: dr)
