Desktop widget: RNOWidgets 1.5 for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4
RNOWidgets combines several utilities (widgets) in a single application and is now available for the first time for AmigaOS 4 in addition to MorphOS. RNOWidgets contains widgets for calendar (ISO), analog clock, digital clock, notes, pictures (local and net), RSS feeds, sticker, and weather. If you want to support the author 'jPV^RNO' in the further development of his "RNO" programs, you can do so under the title link. Changes in version 1.5:
  • Fixed compositing support detection (for hardware accelerated transparency)
  • Uses openssl3.library instead of AmiSSL for HTTPS URLs on MorphOS, and AmiSSL v5 on OS4
  • Linked required plugins in the executable (works better in WBStartup, etc..)
  • Updated RSS presets
  • Other small changes
A recent YouTube video shows the RNOWidgets in action. The tool is available on Aminet. (dr)

Music tips for the weekend
If you want to start the weekend with relaxed house music, Jonas Faupel's Jungle Cut, which he created on an Amiga 500, is recommended.

If you need some "driving" music for vacuuming, for example, you can throw in the latest remixx by 'D4XX', who this time has taken on Marusha's "Raveland". (dr)

Module player: NostalgicPlayer 2.0.0 for Windows
NostalgicPlayer is a program for playing Amiga music modules under Windows, based on APlayer. The development of the player had been started by the author Thomas Neumann in 1993 on the Amiga, later continued on BeOS and now on Windows (amiga-news.de reported).

Version 2.0.0 includes the following changes:
  • Updated to .NET 7.
  • Updated SharpCompress to version 0.33.0.
  • The different players return a list of frequencies for each note. This is used by the Piano visual to show which note is playing. Each player support different number of octaves, and before, they was centered in the middle of the piano. This has been changed, so the same note (same frequency) is shown on the same key for every players.
  • Added tool tip in the Module Information window for Module format and active player. The tool tips show the description of the format/player.
  • Fixed a bug, which made some MED modules that contains multiple octave samples fail to load.
  • Improved the AHX player to use channel mode instead of its own mixer. This makes the Piano and Spinning Square visualizers to work with these modules.
  • Made a big change on how the song position is shown and navigated. Before, the position reflects the players position list and which position in this list is currently being played. This may cause some confusion, specially with players which has position loops like SoundMon and DigiBooster. This has now been changed, so the position reflects the time into the song. Each position is a 3 seconds step. This means, when moving the slider or pushing the rewind/forward buttons, you move in time and not the position list. To not remove the old information, it has been moved into the module information window. This has also been expanded with currently playing pattern/tracks.
  • Written my own control to handle the module list in main window. This make all the operations on the list a lot faster than before, special with big lists.
  • Now there won't be created an extra process for every file you double click on in File Explorer to add them into the module list. This fix also speed up the processing of the files, so they are added faster.
  • When adding a lot of files to the module list at once, e.g. the whole modland archive, it did take a loooooong time to process. This has been speeded up a lot, so all the in-deep scanning is done in a background thread if enabled in the settings.
  • Added new option to remove files from the module list which cannot be recognized.
  • Ported mpg123 to C# to get rid of the CPU dependencies. In the process, I also added support for the Free Format (rarely used, find examples on my webpage).
  • Fixed a bug that may cause the program to hang when closing down and a double-buffering module has been loaded.
  • Restricted the module length for 15-samples mod files to prevent false positives. Unfortunally, this change make a couple of modules on modland undetectable because they have a lot of extra data at the end. I have fixed those modules on my webpage, so if you find such modules, try to see if you can find the fixed version there.
  • Added support for ARM processors.
  • Updated libsidplayfp to version 2.5.0.
  • Renamed the MED format to MED 2.10 (MMD0).
  • Added these new module formats: DigiBooster Pro 2.x (with support of echo), DigiBooster 3.x, DigiBooster 1.x (with support of "robot" effect), MED 1.12, MED 2.00, MED 2.10 (MED4), David Whittaker.
An installation package can be found on Microsoft Store. (dr)

Videoplayer: Amos Anim Player V2023.06.08
The "Amos Anim Player" of the group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP" is a very simple IFF-ANIM player that runs on any Amiga. It can play compressed IFF-Anim formats synchronised with a separate IFF Audio Sample (or MOD) (amiga-news.de reported).
To reduce the amount of data to be processed, and because the animation could crash if the decoded animframe exceeded 40Kb, an Amos programme was included that creates a new image sequence from a given source, reducing the movement between consecutive frames in a scaleable way, as the visual needs of the animation. This can save a lot of data with a relatively small loss of quality. The sample animations can be found under the name ".Reduced".

As the developer continues, Ham6 is neither easy to handle nor designed for this kind of manipulation, which is why one must expect visual errors. The visual result would remind on DIVX videos from the past. (dr)

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.13
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.13 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
  • Generate a x64 Windows build in addition to x32
  • New disk formats:
  • Generic IBM track scanner: ibm.scan
  • General Music: gem.1600
  • TRS CoCo OS-9, MM/1 OS-9: coco.os9.*, mm1.os9.*
  • Commodore 1571 (C64) GCR: commodore.1571
  • New image formats:
    • D71: C64 CBMDOS GCR 1571 double-sided disk
    • TD0: IBM sector format (Read only)
    • EDSK: Support writing new EDSK images (gw read --format=ibm.scan my.edsk)
  • gw read/write: New option --dd to set interface pin 2 for 5.25" drives
  • C64: New low-pass filter PLL stage to clean up noisy flux images
    • Can also be used more generally via a new sub-option to "--pll"

Crowdfunding: Retro joysticks "Immortal Joysticks"
On Kickstarter, Andrew (Amiga for Mortals) has started the crowdfunding of his self-designed and so far custom-built joystick "Immortal Joysticks" to enable series production (YouTube video). Around 29,000 euros must be collected for this purpose by 07 July. Features of the joystick:
  • Aluminium alloy enclosure
  • Authentic Sanwa Denshi and Seimitsu arcade parts
  • Braided cable
  • Standard moulded DB9 connection
  • Switchable auto-fire
  • Switchable 'up to button 2' mapping (up still functions normally)
  • Zero-latency
  • Enclosure size 145 x 121 x 39mm
  • Hand-built in the UK
After initial discussions with suppliers, the housings will most likely be black, but the buttons, ball top, dust cover and cable braid should be customisable in colour. The colour selection will be made as soon as all final production details are confirmed. (dr)

Red Fern Manufacturing: Ultimate Expansion Board for Vampire 4 Standalone
The announced Ultimate Expansion Board for the Vampire 4 Standalone FPGA Amiga clone, which has been available since 2019, can now be ordered - within the EU it will be sold by the Apollo team, outside directly by the New Zealand manufacturer Red Fern Manufacturing.

The Ultimate Expansion Board is a PCB in mini-ITX format that gives the V4 additional options and connections. For example, an extender ensures that the Compact Flash card can be changed without opening the case. In addition to USB devices, classic DB9 mice and joysticks can also be used. The board can be purchased individually or together with an aluminum case kit. (snx)

Start bar: WBDock2 2.865
Thomas Rapp has updated his Toolmanager or AmiDock style start bar, WBDock2, to version 2.865. The changes of the program for AmigaOS 3.1 or higher include another style (LCARS) and two new options: The dock can be hidden with selectable speed when the mouse pointer is not over it, and instead of icons just text can be shown.

Crowdfunding: Chargeable retro community "Amiga Global Alliance
David Pleasance - former Commodore UK management, author of several Commodore books and regular guest at various Amiga events since 2015 - has launched a new project: His "Amiga Global Alliance" ("AGA") is to become a retro community whose members will initially finance a central website and later projects and events with an annual fee of at least 38 GBP (about 44 euros).

Pleasance promises that 65 percent of the income will be reinvested in the community - to promote hardware and software projects or for promotional events. The rest of the money raised will be used for the construction and operation of the planned website and other operating costs. The AGA website is to be the first major project financed by the members and will offer the following areas:
  • Open Forum: A space for both group and individual discussions.
  • Market Place: A portal to buy and sell new and used items.
  • CATS (Commodore Amiga Technical Support): Dedicated technical support for all your Commodore and Amiga needs.
  • Calendar: A global events diary keeping you updated on upcoming events.
  • Jobs: A platform for freelance services, whether you're offering or seeking, full time or part time.
  • Archive/Library: A long-term storage space that's always accessible.
  • Goodies: A section filled with treasures donated by fellow AGA subscribers.
  • Database/Directory: An extensive list of contacts via URL/email/phone.
The website will be launched if the current Kickstarter campaign raises around 17,500 euros in investments by the end of June. The planned launch date for the website, which can be reached at aga.directory, is August 2023. How the Amiga Global Alliance will subsequently decide on the distribution of incoming funds or the selection of projects to be supported is not explained. (cg)
