- CyberStorm PPC and Blizzard PPC board emulation, uses QEMU PPC CPU
emulator
- CD32 Full Motion Video cartridge emulation. (For example Cannon
Fodder CD32 intro movie and standard VCDs are supported)
- Popular accelerator boards emulated (Blizzards, CyberStorms, Warp
Engine, TekMagic, A2630), including on-board SCSI if available
- More SCSI expansion boards emulated (Fastlane, Oktagon, Blizzard Kit IV)
- Multiple SCSI controllers can be active simultaneously
- A590 XT hard drive emulation
- Show on screen message when disk or CD is inserted or ejected or input
device is autoswitched
- Added null serial port mode that connects two WinUAE instances running
on same PC

- Immediate blitter is available in cycle-exact modes
- 68040/060 with more compatible emulates instruction cache, MMU supported
- 68000/68010 + 32-bit address space is supported

focus
- Implemented secondary Z2 RAM board, for example 6M Z2 RAM + 2M Z2 RTG board
combination is now possible
- Added "history" menu to filesystem, hardfile and tape path selection
Updates:
- Programmed chipset display modes accurate improved
- Uncompressed CHD harddrive image write support
- Implemented previously unavailable small Z2 RAM board sizes (64k to 512k)
- Z3 boards automatically use original address space if JIT direct is not
enabled or with JIT direct if host has enough address space (64-bit Windows)
Fixed bugs:
- 68060 with "Unimplemented CPU emu" checkbox ticked: 68060 only unimplemented
instructions were not emulated normally
- Screenshot with D3D shader filter enabled always took filtered screenshot
- SCSI CD READ CD command only worked with audio tracks if track was number 1

USB-Adapter for input devices: Ryś
In June, first information was provided, now it is official: The USB-adapter Ryś made in Poland is supposed to make it possible to use an USB-mouse, an USB-joystick and USB-joypad with an Amiga - without having to install additional drivers.
Ryś includes a 16-Bit micro-controller which interpretes signals of connected USB-HID-devices (mouse, joystick and joypad) using an internal USB-stack and then emulates an Amiga-compatible input device to the Amiga. It is not necessary to install a driver. The adapter is connected to the mouse or joystick port. Firmware updates can be installed using a "bootloader" mode which is not explained in detail.
Ryś is delivered in a simple connector housing. It is also possible to use it together with an A600 but obviously a (mechanical) adapter is required. Apart from that the adapter is compatible with all Amiga models. According to the website the development was completed. Information about the price or availability was not available.
