`02.Mar.2023` Amitopia (ANF)	Web browser: AmiFox 0.2 released AmiFox is a kind of web browser for original Amigas. Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow has been reporting about its development since mid-February and after a short beta test phase version 0.2 is now generally available. The principle of this browser is to outsource the actual rendering via WRP (Web Rendering Proxy), so that the finished rendering is sent back to the Amiga just as an image. In return, however, it is possible to display modern web pages containing CSS and Javascript. Interactions with the web page are then reported back to the server. The underlying WRP was adapted to provide more functions and security/privacy. (snx) [News message: 02. Mar. 2023, 09:36] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`01.Mar.2023`	Video player: Amos Video Player The group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP", known among other things for the fantasy shooter Project Quest, which is currently in development, or the mini-game None of Us, updated their "AMOS Video Player", which has been in development since 2020, a few days ago and fixed some bugs According to the developers, it is "a very simple video player that runs on any Amiga." The playback and encoding target is fixed at 320x256 25 fps, but changeable in the source code (2 colours up to HAM6 is possible, but then much slower). The loading time is not parallel to the playback time due to the non-optimised code, so the result is terrible on real hardware, but looks pretty good under WinUAE. Everybody is invited to play with the source code. (dr) [News message: 01. Mar. 2023, 21:20] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`01.Mar.2023`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.9 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. Today version 1.9 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes: HFE: Support reading and writing HFEv3 image files For example: gw convert Game.ipf Game.hfe::version=3 Useful for running converted IPFs on FlashFloppy Goteks MSA: Read & write Atari ST MSA image files D88: Remove hard-coded track double-stepping TSC Flex: Add diskdef disk definitions Various bug fixes (dr) [News message: 01.

`01.Mar.2023`	AmigaOS 4: Audio editor Rave 1.6 As announced two days ago, Daniel 'trixie' Jedlicka has released version 1.6 of the audio editor "Rave" (amiga-news.de reported). Changes: Import and export of raw files. Saving in the Ogg Vorbis format. Reworked the IFF-8SVX saver, which now also supports stereo. Saving WAV files is no longer limited to PCM: several other data formats and encodings can be selected in the WAV configuration window. Reworked the MP3 saver configuration window for better user control. When using the Save function, compressed files (MP3, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis) are no longer overwritten silently, without giving the user a chance to review/adjust the compression parameters. Added a Save As button in the program toolbar. Added a Pause button in the transport bar. Linked with the latest versions of libogg and libvorbis for improved Ogg Vorbis support. Various other smaller improvements and fixes. Updated documentation. Rave requires AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 2 as well as A-EON's Enhancer Core classes. You can support the developer on his Ko-fi page. (dr) [News message: 01. Mar. 2023, 05:20] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
