 Image editing: RNOEffects 2.0 for all Amiga systems
Developer 'jPV^RNO' has updated RNOEffects from its family of RNO applications to version 2.0. RNOEffects is a simple image editing programme with a focus on batch conversion options and alpha channel-based effects. Highlights of the update include the pixel editor tool and saving images in palette mode (YouTube video). The complete changes:
  • Added the "Pixel editor" tool with configurable pixel drawing options for left, middle, and right mouse buttons
  • Added the "Color picker" tool to show colour information under the mouse pointer and to pick and store multiple colour values temporarily
  • Added the "Area selector" tool which can be used to apply certain effects on a limited area of an image
  • Added the "Toolbox" tool to reduce pull-down menu use
  • Added support for saving images in the palette mode (1-8 bits), optionally with 16 pre-defined palettes including the MagicWB palette
  • Palettes can be saved in IFF ILBM, RGB32, LoadRGB4, and LoadRGB32 formats
  • Palette images can be saved as chunky data
  • Chunky image data and separate palettes can be saved as a C source code
  • Added an option to use an opacity map to apply an effect partially on an image (works with Blur, Contrast, Draw/Brush, Gamma, Modulate, Monochrome, and Tint effects)
  • Added "Chroma key" and "Luma key" effects to make colour ranges transparent
  • Batch converted images can be saved as a video
  • Added MagicWB support for the icon saving
  • Added information about the program state in the window title
  • Added Undo button on effects' windows
  • Function key shortcuts can be used to save images in several formats
  • Added an option to swap the main image with the buffer image
  • The Opacity map effect can use the buffer image as an opacity map
  • Added an option to invert the Opacity map effect
  • Added opacity map examples in the OpacityMaps directory
  • Renamed the "Reduce alpha" effect to "Alter alpha" and added an option to remove the whole alpha channel from an image
  • Background images can be centered in the Background effect
  • Added an option to clear the current image
  • Undo buffer wasn't initialised when loading an image at startup
  • Fixed colour picking with scaled images
  • Fixed Charcoal and Edge effects for images with transparency
  • Better window resizing when loading images
  • Skip arrow key operations if a command key is pressed simultaneously so as not to affect mouse pointer control via the keyboard
  • Arranged effects in an ordered format in the menu - into categories
  • Included JPEG2000, PCX, and TIFF plugins
  • Added support for saving images in JPEG2000 and TIFF formats
  • Select specific image/state to load of icon with multiple images
  • Added a setting to load icon properties and use them in icon saving options
  • Files can be drag'n'dropped into a batch conversion file list
  • Tool windows open at startup if they were open when settings saved
  • Other minor fixes
RNOEffects is available for all Amiga systems on Aminet. (dr)

 AmigaOS 4: elf.library V54.1
Hyperion Entertainment has released the new version 54.1 of the elf.library (Executable and Linkable Format) for AmigaOS 4, which is available via AmiUpdate. Changes since version 53.30:
  • Added AmigaDOS pattern support in load-time-blacklist (as an example "amissl_v#?.library" will now exclude all of the AmiSSL sub-libraries without having to list each separate library explicitly).
  • Reduced Elf_Collector process to a bare minimal process without all the pointless and unused decorations, backed off the priority to -5 and increased the polling wait to 1 second, increased the cache flush time to 300 seconds.
  • Added ADDR24 reloc support required for kernel 54.48 and higher.
  • The filesize parameter from Openelf.c was downsized from INT64 to UINT32 and then passed to ObtainCachedElfHandle() where the value was then stored in the elfhandle as an INT64. Remove the downsizing in Openelf.c and ObtainCachedElfHandle() to pass and store only INT64 now.
  • Fixed CopyDataSegment() reloc failures from being silently ignored (was returning successfully, instead of an error).
  • Rewrote CopyDataSegment() to no longer need to load relocs from disk each time it is called. Instead, the required relocs and information are stored during ElfLoadSeg() for later use. This allows applications to set OET_NoDOS when opening the file handle, instead of needing to maintain a file lock until the application exits.
  • CopyDataSegment() will now additionally use a .bss, .sdata or .sbss section as the reference for the baseOffset, if a .data section is not present.
  • Fixed several bugs with error handling in Elf32_LoadSegment. Previously, a failed read would lead to either an infinite regress or a deadlock.
  • Implementation of Elf32_CallConstructors and Elf32_CallDestructors. These are now called from inside InitSHLib in place of __shlib_call_constructors and __shlib_call_destructors. This has the benefit of being compiler and stdlib independent (so more generic). It also solves the problem, that the previous solution would in fact not work but (due to some problem with gcc __attribute__((section)) probably) would call an incomplete array of constructor functions.
  • Fixed bug in the storing of any data relocs, which would crash if the buffer needed to be enlarged.
  • Fix CloseElfTag in Elf32_CallConstructors and Elf32_CallDestructors.
  • Ensure that RELA section has been loaded in Elf32_OpenReloc.
  • Add GST_Load, TRUE to RelocateSectionTags in Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors.
  • Added crash condition to OpenElfTags() in Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors.
  • Fix a case of very bad error handling in Elf32_HandleRelocs (Timberwolf).
  • Fix a bug in relocbuffer.c. ElfSeek would not be called before ElfRead in Elf32_RefillRelocBuffer, which would lead to faulty reads. Several names have been changed to better clarify structure. This completes the fix for Timberwolf in the last revision.
  • Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors have been updated to account for .init_array and .fini_array sections.
  • Open/CloseElfTags calls have been updated in the same two functions to account for correct reopening/reclosing of elfhandles.
  • Fix closing of OET_ReadOnlyCopy DOS filehandle in CloseElfTags.
  • Added GetSOHandles() function.
  • Change Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors to handle .ctors/.dtors array starting with -1 instead of NULL, which fixes shared objects crashing that were compiled using newlib SDK >= 53.84.
  • Change Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors to better handle missing NULL termination in .ctors/.dtors and added debug output to report such cases.
  • DLOpen() will now return NULL if any attempt is made to use it to open an ELF file that is not actually a shared object type.
  • Fix OpenElf() not initializing the shared object array, which caused CloseElf() to crash unless ElfLoadSeg() had been called.
  • Fix internal elfhandle flag never actually being set for shared objects, due to the code being placed before the header was read.
  • Program header loadable segments are now always loaded as segments unless the .rodata section is contained in a section containing an executable section, in which case sections in that segment are loaded separately, as before.
  • Don't unnecessarily call CacheClearE() individually for each and every reloc applied during ElfLoadSeg(), as we already flush that memory from the caches soon after anyway. This should speed up the loading of large executables.
  • RelocateSection() now correctly flushes the processor cache when R_PPC_JMP_SLOT relocs make changes to the PLT.
  • Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors no longer attempts to relocate .ctors/.dtors, as ElfLoadSeg() will have always already done this.
  • Elf32_CallConstructors/Destructors no longer needs to open and reread the file, as the section indices are now saved by Elf32_OpenSOLib() before unloading the string sections.
  • Do not ignore ELFCMD_DOS_SEEK errors.
  • Correct autodoc for ELFCMD_DOS_SEEK to specify OFFSET_BEGINNING instead of OFFSET_CURRENT and changed return value to be boolean.
  • Fix recursive loop, which overflowed stack and crashed, which could happen when attempting to load a corrupt file, if there is an issue with the section name string table.
  • Check section headers for signs of corruption and, instead of crashing, display a message on failure and fail gracefully.
  • Protect against attempted incorrect/large/invalid memory allocations when loading sections from a corrupt file.
  • Add new error code ELF32_INVALID_HEADER to .
  • UnloadSection() no longer crashes if no sections have been loaded.
  • Fix crashes triggered by R_PPC_REL24 relocs, mistakenly caused by an out of range address during the resolution of undefined symbols, instead of jumping to the PLT.
  • Fix symbol cache not adding entry, if the cache needs to be enlarged.
  • Fully utilise the symbol cache when reading the symbol name.
  • OpenElf() needs to close the file, if it opened one, should there be an issue reading the headers.
  • Fix incorrect detection of invalid headers where OET_MemoryAddr has been specified instead of a file.
  • Add filename to give context to the ElfLoadSeg() error requesters. Further tweak to the pointer equality fix, to completely skip R_PPC_REL24 and R_PPC_LOCAL24PC relocs with a st_value of 0, as the relative branches will already be correct - no relocation required. Fix Elf32_BlacklistCheck() from crashing when passed a handle with no filename set (e.g. OET_MemoryAddr). Replace semaphore usage with mutexes

 8/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal v2024-01-22
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now. Changes:
  • fixes broken horizontal scrolling on the Master System;
  • correctly declines to page on the Electron if receiving interrupt acknowledgments;
  • corrects mismapping of Apple II inverted characters;
  • avoids automatic key repeat on the early Apple IIs;
  • with thanks to @ryandesign avoids potential performance issues on multi-GPU macOS machines with macOS 10.15+.

 Hardware: Bass mixing with "BassMX"
As Edwin van den Oosterkamp writes under the title link, one of the things he always enjoyed on his Amiga was watching demos, especially when using a hi-fi system with proper speakers instead of the small speakers in the 1084S monitor. However, the Amiga's perfect channel separation always bothered him a little, so that you could hear the drums on one speaker and the bassline on the other, for example. This could make the sound feel unbalanced.

He developed "BassMX" as a solution to this problem: it takes the sound from one channel, filters it so that only the low frequencies are retained and mixes it with the sound from the other channel. In short, it mixes the bass for both channels.

And Edwin explains: "In theory this means that the bassline and drums are now on both speakers while the locations of other instruments are unaffected. In practice it depends on the actual instruments used. While the bass drum will be centred, the Hi-Hat will not be, for example. Similar with a slap-bass, where the slap part will still be only on the original channel but the bass sound itself will be on both channels." He offers audio examples on his website to help you understand this.

Robert Smith published a YouTube video in which he demonstrates the difference between the standard Amiga sound and the BassMX sound. The developer himself describes the BassMX development process in a separate blog entry.

The module is available on eBay or now also from Alinea Computer. (dr)

 Amiga Games That Weren't: Stuntman Seymour
Codemasters is a British developer and distributor of video games that has been part of Electronic Arts since 2021. At the end of December last year, the website "Amiga Games That Weren't" reported on the game studio's platform game "Stuntman Seymour", which was probably started in the late summer of 1992 and largely, if not completely, finished. The game is a spin-off of CJ's Elephant Antics, also developed by Codemasters.

As the site reports, the finished game was probably not published because new quality standards were introduced at the time, according to which games with only a single protagonist, for example, did not meet these standards. In addition, the game developer focussed more on console games than on home computer games. The game is now available under the title link. (dr)

We have received numerous inquiries regarding the appropriate Radeon driver to use and how to go about it. We understand that using AmigaOS 4.1 can be a bit challenging in this regard, so we would like to provide you with some helpful information to make the process easier.

Please take a moment to read this PDF Radeon QuickGuide, which discusses the various versions of Radeon drivers and provides instructions on how to install them on AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition. It is crucial to carefully go through the article to ensure a smooth installation.
