Tutorials: Roadshow on the Minimig/Turbo Chameleon 64
The "Turbo Chameleon 64" is a FPGA-based C64 accelerator board which can be also used in the stand-alone mode. On the board a RS-232-port can be upgraded as Amiga extension using the clockport.

Christian "Lallafa" Vogelsang shows in his English-language blog how he uses the clockport with the help of a simple hardware-mods for an emulated Amiga and how he integrates the computer with Roadshow and PPP into a home network. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Jump and Run: Frank Wille announces "Solid Gold" for Amiga 500
Frank "phx" Wille (among others Sqrxz, vbcc) has announced another jump'n run game for the end of the year. "Solid Gold" is created in cooperation with the brother of Wille who is the graphic artist:



Wille describes Solid Gold as "a mix of Turrican, Giana Sisters and Rick Dangerous". The game was developed in assembler and features smooth 8-way-scrolling with 50 pictures per second. An Amiga with at least one megabyte RAM (512 KB Chip, 512 KB Fast) is required.

Currently the highscore list and the final sequence are written. Apart from "some fine-tuning" (Wille) all other work was completed. Solid Gold will be released as ADF-image. The source code will be available for free. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: RadeonHD driver 1.0 RC2 (0.57)
A-EON has released an update of the commercial graphic board driver for RadeonHD, which is developed by Hans de Ruiter. Changes in this version:
  • Golden register initialisation code added (golden registers are a table of registers supplied by AMD's hardware engineers to be initialised on startup)
  • Improved the VGA (UBOOT/CFE screen) shutdown code for Evergreen+ chipsets. This solves the intermittent boot problems which affected some Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 cards. (and possibly others)
The driver supports 2D-operations and compositing and among others works with the following RadeonHD-types:
  • X1300-X1950 Serie
  • HD4000 Serie
  • "Evergreen" HD5000 Serie
  • "Northern Islands" HD6000 Serie
  • "Southern Island" HD7000 Serie

Accelerator board: Progress report about ACA500 (English)
Under the title link an English-language progress report about the accelerator board ACA500 developed by Individual Computers was released.

The report, written by an user who was a co-developer, concludes: 2 MB Fast-RAM as well as a missing case are the disadvantages of the board. Otherwise, the board delivers what was promised and has a high compatibility. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4/AROS: Bounty-project for Odyssey web browser
Under the title link on Power2poeople.org, a bounty project for releasing Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly's web browser Odyssey under an open-source-licence was established which would make it possible to adapt it to AmigaOS 4 and AROS.

Earlier versions of his browser the author already released for free. But these versions cannot play e.g. HTML5-videos. This fearture Fabien Coeurjoly developed himself; there is not any other Amiga implemenation for that except the (still unsatisfying) Firefox/Timberwolf. Alternative browsers for different operating systems are open-source but often overdependent (Chrome) or bloated (Webkit-GTK), or not open-source (Apple Quicktime for the Mac-version of Webkit or the Windows-implementation).

Event: First reports of Alchimie X (update)
On the first day of the Alchimie X in France, there were the following news about Minimig and AmigaOS 4:
  • The announced software surprise for AmigaOS 4.1 was a DVD with over 70 game ports provided by Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel.
  • Secondly, ACube Systems lifted the secret about the "MiniMig+", which is as fast as a 68030-processor with 30 MHz. An ARM-chip, 32 MB RAM (can be upgraded up to 64 MB), 8 MB chip-RAM, two USB-ports, network connection, realtime clock, two SD-card readers and 18-Bit-video output are integrated. The FPGA is twice as big as before and thus sufficiently big for an AGA-core. It will be half as large as the Mini-ITX-format. The project will be not finished in near future.
  • Additional to the DVD, Hugues Nouvel has released five new games for AmigaOS 4.1, which are mainly Egoshooter (World Of Padman, a new version of ioQuake, Smokin'Guns, Star Trek Voyager Elite Force and Tremulous) as well as the puzzle game Dale Hardshovel.
Update:
  • On Sunday for MorphOS 3.4 the following facts have been announced:
    • Support of non-native PowerBook screen resolutions
    • Improved support of R300-based graphic boards (Radeon 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800)
    • Highly improved AGP-transfer rates on G5-computers (by a factor  of 5, up to 1,2 GB/s) and bug fixed 16-Bit screen resolutions
    • Improved network-stack (speed and configuration)
    • Password protection of the screen (during booting the computer or after inactivity)
  • MorphOS 3.5 will be a bug fix release
  • MorphOS 3.6 is supposed to include the following components:
    • Support of modern graphic boards
    • Support of further G5-models
    • Javascript-JIT for Odyssey-Webbrowser
    • CUPS-Integration
    • SSHFS and SMBFS via FUSE

Indivision AGA Mk2: Inofficial SuperPlus configuration file
For the Flickerfixer Indivision AGA Mk2 an inofficial configuration file for using the monitor driver SuperPlus has been released (version 40.5 of the driver must be installed in Sys:Devs/Monitors).

The file has been not completely finished and may cause minor problems - e.g. the boot picture does not fit the full screen and is not centered. It must be chosen in the preferences programm of the Indivision and then set in the Workbench-preferences of the screen mode "SuperPlus HighResLaced (800x600)".

With the same configuration file, HighGFX can be used as well. Only the default setting 1024x768 must be deactivated and instead the screen resolution 800x600 in the Workbench-preferences used.
