AmigaOS 4: RunInUAE r5
With Christopher Handley's RunInUAE it is possible to start installed m68k-Amiga-software or ADF disk images in an UAE-environment. New in version r5:
- If you don't have an Amiga Forever CD, you no-longer have to supply files from a Workbench 3.1 disk (as a suitable fake WB3.1 will be created - although compatibility is lower).
- Fixed an r4 installation bug where RunInUAE might not run right automatically until it had been run once manually. Many thanks to DAX for reporting this bug.
- Changed E-UAE's priority from -1 to 0, to improve emulation performance. Thanks to DAX for his suggestion.
- Various tweaks to E-UAE's configuration to improve emulation compatibility, accuracy & performance. Heavily based upon DAX's suggestions.
- The installer will create the "kick34005.A500" & (with the AF 2008+ CD) "kick40068.A1200" files, which are needed by some WHDLoad games (such as Lucas Arts adventures). Thanks to DAX for help.
- Improved patching of Workbench, to hopefully work on all versions of OS4, including Update 3 for OS4.1. Thanks to Colin Wenzel for his help, and Philippe Ferrucci for testing.
- Added support for DMS disk images. Also the Insert disk requester now only shows files of the right type.
- Added option to not change Workbench 3.1's screenmode prefs. Requested by Philippe Ferrucci.
- Add a Help menu item, and the main window also reacts to the Help key. Added after many requests for this!
- Would wrongly open an empty Notepad when answering No to creating a per-game config file.
- When using a pre-existing Workbench 3.1 installation, it now ensures that the correct WbRun command is installed. Thanks to Philippe Ferrucci for reporting this bug.
- Added Mason's pretty icons for RunInUAE's folder, plus UAE's folder & program. Thanks to DAX for pointing them out.
- The installer's "Select ROM" file requester now starts in E-UAE's folder, for convenience. Thanks to Philippe Ferrucci for suggesting this.

Relaunch: cracktros.org with new team
Since 2006 www.cracktros.org has been online. It is a website maintained by the a1k.org-forum which collects and archives historical cracktros. Additionally to detailed information with screenshots, the cracktros are available as Amiga programms. For those users who no longer own an Amiga the cracktros are available as flashtro for the browser or as video stream.
Due to private reasons the original team has changed and a new team will take care of the site in future. Several cracktros were added to the site and many more are in progress!

Immortal 4: Podcast with music of the CDs
Immortal 4 enriches the world of computer game music, featuring remixes of the music from 35 Amiga games in newly arranged studio productions. BitFellas pays tribute to the fantastic Immortal project and presents a selection of fine music from the Immortal CDs in BitJam Podcast #136, including a previously unreleased track.
The acclaimed "Immortal" project started to take shape in the mind of Portuguese game music composer Ruben Monteiro in 1997. The idea behind this project was (and still is) to release the greatest soundtracks from games released for the Commodore Amiga computer on CD - newly arranged and recorded in the studio, but not necessarily in a chart-compatible way. Instead, the "Immortal" producers aim to work with the original artists whenever possible: Chris Hülsbeck, Allister Brimble, Bjorn Lynne, Barry Leitch, Jason Page, Tim Wright and many others contributed exclusive tracks in the past. As of April 2011, four volumes have been released in the "Immortal" series, featuring music from classic games such as Shadow of the Beast, Turrican, Speedball 2, Pinball Dreams, Wing Commander, Alien Breed, Lemmings, or Cannon Fodder.

AROS: 3D-Shooter Cube 2 ported
Krzysztof 'deadwood' Smiechowicz has ported the 3D-Shooter Cube 2: Sauerbraten to AROS/x86. It is the first game that truly uses the advanced capabilities and features of AROS 3D sub-system (Video).
By utilizing those capabilities, Cube 2 provides level of 3D effects not seen before on AROS but for best graphic output requires graphic board with 512 MB VRAM.
The AROS-port includes the programm file as well as a configuration programm. The data files of the game have to be downloaded. The game requires updates of some of the AROS-components. You can obtain further information from the Readme-file.

Floppy-Controller: Kryoflux archives and copies protected disks
The USB-Floppy-Controller Kryoflux can read diverse disk formats of classic computers. In this way complete images of the disk are created which include all information of the disks - inclusive the copy protection.
Meanwhile the free firmware was developed further so it also is possible to write back such disk-images to real disks.
In a short Youtube-video the developers show how to write a disk and announce that the new firmware will be available soon.
