Real AmiKit: Distribution for AGA-Amigas (beta version)
The well-known distribution AmiKit for users of emulators now was reworked so it can be also used on real Amigas which is called "Real AmiKit".
The original AmigaOS files and Kickstart-ROM of the AGA-chipset and at least 16 MB RAM are required. An accelerator board is highly recommended. Owners of an Apollo-board should use the RemApollo-patch.

USB: New edition of Thylacine canceled
In October all documents on the Zorro 2 plug-in card Thylacine were released which made it possible to recreate the low-cost USB-controller. Users on a1k.org expressed the wish to have the original design reworked and then sold the construction kit at cost price.
Actually during the first eight weeks several revisions of a reworked layout have been presented which the could have been produced as prototypes. After more than one month of silence the initiator "crasbe" explained that he has canceled the project which was called "Nova-Thylacine".
He has suspend the project in order to prevent "screwing up anybodies business". A commercial competing product which "is not or at least not much more" expensive than the Nova-Thylacine will be available "at the latest by the next quarter".

Workbench replacement: X-bEnCH 0.83
X-bEnCH is a graphical user-interface with up to 128 colours which replaces the Workbench for starting WHDLoad games (.slave, .exe) and requires less memory. According to the developer the programm works with all OCS and AGA Amigas.
Additional to several bug fixes, with the version 0.83 the mouse pointer can be controled with the joystick (important to Amiga CDTV and CD³²).

Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.8.0
Rupert Hausberger's Scripted Amiga Emulator is written in Javascript and should run in any modern web browser, but currently the best performance can be achieved using Chrome.
Changes in version 0.8.0 (16.01.2013):
- New online games
- Alien Breed - Spezial Edition 92
- Alien Breed 2
- Lemmings
- Pinball Fantasies
- R-Type
- Rubicon
- Shadow of the Beast
- Silkworm
- Stunt Car Racer
- Display
- Ported and optimized playfield-code from WinUAE.
This adds ECS and AGA support and fixes graphics-errors.
The AGA part is commented out, because there is no 68020 yet.
- Added support for drawing via 'Canvas 2D' if 'WebGL' is not avail.
- Added support for auto-driver detection.
- Audio
- While disk access, audio performance is much better now.
- Added support for the A500 lowpass-filter. Not enabled by default.
- Added support for auto-driver detection.
- Memory
- To gain speed, all memory is now accessed directly and not via functions.
So, don't care for a possible illegal memory access.
- Fixed bug, where kickstart 1.2 failed to load.
- Fixed incorrect extended-address bug.
- CPU
- Splitted address-types of ADDQ/SUBQ into separate functions for more speed.
- Added bus-read/write cycles tables. For internal use only.
- CIA
- I decided to port the latest cia-code from WinUAE while i was trying to find a bug.
Well, the bug is still there. Let's keep the code nevertheless.
- GUI
- Added info box of supported drivers.
- Added a 'Chipset'-section and various options.
- Packed the main GUI.
- Common
- Added support for easy URL sharing. E.g. to show the Multica-demo to a friend,
one may send the link "http://scriptedamigaemulator.net/#Multica"
and the demo will start immediately. (thanks mrdoob)
- Many small optimizations.
