AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS: E-UAE PowerPC JIT 1.0.0
Álmos Rajnai's integration of a just-in-time-compiler in the Amiga emulator E-UAE for PowerPC-systems is no longer a beta version but version 1.0.0 and available for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS (as well as for Mac OS X and Linux).
Additionally under the title link he has suggested that his JIT-implementation - different from the x86-JIT - might be easily adapted to other processor architecturs like ARM. If he himself is going to do it, he does not know - he has developed the JIT-compiler for so many years that it would be time for something new and different.

AmigaOS 4: Arcade emulator FinalBurn Alpha 0.2.97.34 WIP
FinalBurn Alpha emulates diverse arcade machines and game consoles. The latest version requires version 2 of the BoostyGFX-library (OS4Depot). This one requires a new key-file. That's way you have to remove a previous RegBoostyGFX.key from the directory SYS:s.

Assembler and Linker: vasm 1.7b and vlink 0.15
Frank Wille has released updates of the modular assembler vasm and of the corresponding linker vlink.
Changes in vasm 1.7b:
- Fixed stack overflow and crash when using recursively defined symbols. Bug was present since introducing new 128-bit and float expressions in 1.7
- Issue a warning when a symbol was declared as external, but nowhere referenced in the source
- m68k: Do not optimize MOVEM to MOVEA or MOVE when predecrement or postincrement addressing mode is used with a register from the list
- m68k: The Devpac directive OPT X (xdebug) works now as expected for hunk-format object files and for TOS executables
- m68k: In Devpac-compatibility mode (-devpac) the __LK symbol is predefined and reflects the output file type: 0 = Atari executable, 3 = Amiga object, 4 = Amiga executable, 99 = all others which are unknown to Devpac
- m68k: MOVEM #list,-(An) must not reverse the bit mask automatically, but expect an already reversed one
- m68k: BTST #n,#m is illegal
- m68k: LEA (d32,An),Am translation to MOVE.L/ADD.L stopped working with V1.6c. Fixed again
- ARM: TEQP, TSTP, CMNP and CMPP were missing for AA2
- ARM: Fixed recognition of addressing mode and condition codes with instructions written in upper case
- 6502: New option -c02 to enable 65C02 instructions
- mot-syntax: In PhxAss- and Devpac-compatibility mode only the directives which are known by the emulated assembler are supported
- mot-syntax: RS, SO and FO offset directives use an aligned offset in Devpac-compatibility mode or when the -align option is given
- std-syntax: The optional third argument of .balign/.p2align/.align is now really supported and defines a maximum number of padding bytes
- std-syntax: New directives: .balignw, .balignl, .p2alignw, .p2alignl, .zero, .swbeg
- std-syntax: .word should rather define 16-bit than 32-bit constants
- std-syntax: .local followed by .comm should be the same as .lcomm
- oldstyle-syntax: Fixed recognizion of .equ/.eq/.set/.mac/.macro with -dotdir option
- hunk-output: New option -linedebug automatically generates a LINE DEBUG hunk for the input source
- aout-output: Always generate an external reference to a weak symbol, even when the symbol is defined
- elf-output: Always generate an external reference to a weak symbol, even when the symbol is defined.
Changes in vlink 0.15:
- (ados/ehf) Support for SAS/C style indexed libraries (HUNK_LIB)
- (ados/ehf) -Csasc is accepted to build a table with SAS/C constructors and destructors. It looks for functions named __STI_... and __STD_...
- (tos) New option -tos-textbased to write symbol offsets which are based on the text section (MonST-comaptible)
- (tos) text and data section size in the header must not be odd
- (aoutmint) text and data section size in the header must not be odd

Gloom Deluxe Total Conversion: "Did IT come from the Desert?"
Inspired by Cinemaware's announcement to release the port of the Mega Drive game It Came From The Desert next year, "nittamituaki" has created a "Total Conversion" of the FPS-classic Gloom Deluxe.
The Mega Drive version of the classic has very little in common with the original adventure game - now rather it is a actual shooter.
You can install nittamituaki's Total Conversion (Youtube video) by installing first Gloom Deluxe on harddrive. Afterwards the original files will be replaced by the files from the "Did IT come from the Desert?"-download. The game requires a 68020-processor and about 1,8 MB ChipRAM.
