AmigaOS 4: Aquaria ported (beta version)
Aquaria (screenshot) is a commercial 2d-action-adventure published by Bit Blot for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Andrea Palmatè has ported this game also to AmigaOS 4 which can be downloaded as beta version under the title link.
The archive includes the demo version of the game. The complete version must be bought from Bit Blot.
System requirements:
- An Amiga NG (SAM, micro-A1, A1, Pegasos 2)
- 512 MB of RAM (1 GB reccomended)
- A video card with at least 64 MB of RAM (128 MB recommended to play the game correctly)
- Latest SDL library (included in the package)
- OpenAL (the included one does cause an error at exit of the program)
- MiniGL 2.2 (included in the package)
Known problems:
- If you have a system with 512 MB and 64 MB video RAM, it is better to close all programs before running Aquaria. Use also a 16 Bit Workbench screen with compositing effects off to save Video RAM
- You could get trashed textures in the menu (and also during the game). This means that you are out of memory (video and/or system).
The game is still playable but you should free something before continuing to play. A video card with 128 MB of RAM should cure all problems. Otherwise, if this happens you can close the game and restart from a saved location
- When you push escape key during the game the machine could freeze. I don't know why but i have nothing on the serial debug output and I don't know why it does freeze

VisualBoy Advance
Fabien "Fab" Coeurjoly has compiled the Gameboy-emulator Visualboy Advance 1.7.2 to MorphOS. He did not know that Christian Rosentreter had published this version of the program some years ago. But he supposes that his version might be "much faster".
Plugin-SDK for Sketch and Scandal
With Pawel "stefko's" Stefanski's plugin-SDK you can create effect-plugins for the graphic propgram Sketch as well as for Michal Zukowski's scanner software Scandal.

AROS: First alpha version of transparent 68k-emulator Emumiga
Magnus Öberg's Emumiga is supposed to make it possible to transparently use AmigaOS 3 applications under AROS without having to use an Amiga emulator. Additionally Emumiga is meant for being an interface between 68k-code and the native AROS system calls (currently supported system calls and structures).
Up to now only the two appliactions "Dir" and "Clock" from the AmigaOS 3-distribution were tested.

Videos and pictures of VCF, AmigaOne X1000 Status
On Saturday in Bletchley (Great Britain) the 25th anniversary of the Amiga was celebrated. Meanwhile some pictures (1, 2, 3, 4) and videos (Youtube: 1, 2, 3, 4) were published which focus on Sam460 and AmigaOne X1000 computers. On both computers AmigaOS 4 was demonstrated.
According to Trevor Dickinson of A-EON during his presentation of the AmigaOne X1000 (Youtube: part 1, part 2), AmigaOS 4 runs on the computers for a while but only as of recently the computer boots from a harddrive. The price of the complete system will be about 1800 Euro.
On pictures and videos it is to be seen that the graphic output is very slow and that PCI-based model is used. According to Stéphane "sg2" Guillard from the AmigaOS 4-team on amigaworld.net this is not a general driver problem: his X1000 has a PCIe-Radeon graphic board and SATA-drives.
