FPGA Arcade: Another production started
According to Mike Johnson under the title link, another production of his FPGA Arcade has started. First, 100 of 500 planned boards are produced. They will be probably delivered in April.
The latest change is an USB-adapter which replaces the PS/2-port and which can be also upgraded to older boards. Next week a new beta core will be released. The FPGA Arcade based on the Minimig can be used for emulating the Amiga.

ACA 500: New prototype
In a post at a1k.org, Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers has presented a new prototype of his announced Amiga 500-extension ACA 500. Compared with the version presented four weeks ago, now the board lies horizontally next to the computer.
This additional prototype has caused increased development costs which according to Schoenfeld is compensated by removing the high-grade steel cover.
The compatibility with the well-known Blizzard accelerator boards produced by Phase 5 has been improved as well: A Blizzard 1230-IV does now work properly although Individual Computers will not give any function guarantee for any of these boards.
For all those customers who are not going to install an A1200-extension on the ACA 500, maybe a version with 4 MB RAM will be offered. But this version would probably cots at least 30 Euro more than the standard model which is equipped with 2 MB.

TCP stack: Roadshow 1.9
An Update for Olaf Barthel's TCP-Stack Roadshow has been released. It is available from the official website for free download. Changes in Version 1.9:
- The names of the configuration files for network interfaces had to be adapted because they were too long (> 15 characters). This applied to files that have been added for MorphOS and Poseidon USB. Long names are now all shorter.
- The names of the network drivers for Poseidon USB have not all been correct and had to be corrected.
- The documentation now goes into more detail how to add a server in "DEVS:Internet/servers" and includes specific examples.
- In "DEVS:Internet/servers" new entries for the use of Samba have been added, and have to be activated after you have installed Samba.

MorphOS: Arcade-Emulator MAME 0.148
Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has released an update of the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) which emulates several arcade machines (screenshot). According to the developer, MAME has become up to 15% slower.
Changes in MorphOS version 0.148:
- Builtin MUI GUI with screenshots and history.dat/mameinfo.dat support and per-game configurations
- Optimized triple-buffered display routines
- Overlay support, offering free scaling and filtering. To avoid struggling with exotic screenmodes, MAME clones the Ambient desktop resolution when switching to fullscreen/overlay mode (unless specified otherwise)
- Blanker control
- AHI output
- Joypad/Mouse support
