`29.Jun.2024` GitHub	Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga V2.6.2 (update) Starting with version 2.6.1, developer Dirk Hoffmann wants to make changes to the internal architecture of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS. The long-term goal is to port the new emulator architecture from VirtualC64 V5.0 to vAmiga in order to enable features such as Run-Ahead (background article). As the architectural changes are considerable, several intermediate versions will be part of this project. The minimum system requirement for his emulator is macOS 11.0. Update: (02.07.2024, 05:40, dr) Version 2.6.2, which was released yesterday, fixes crashes in the configuration panel and restores the functionality of the RetroShell command "amiga defaults".

`29.Jun.2024`	Reverse Engineering: Aira Force 0.7.4 for Windows, Linux and macOS "Aira Force" is a tool for reverse engineering Amiga 680x0 software (amiga-news.de reported). It allows binaries to be disassembled and investigated (YouTube video). This Update to version 0.7.4 introduces the correct support of labels. In addition, the latest beta version of the developer tool vasm has been integrated, which adds two new options: dbg-local adds local labels with their original name (like 1$ or .abc) to HUNK_SYMBOL. dbg-globloc adds local labels by trying to construct a name out of their preceding global label and the original local label name: global$local (Examples: main$1$, main$.abc). This means that executables built with these options will automatically have correct names for local label symbols applied by the ira disassembler. (dr) [News message: 29.

`28.Jun.2024` GitHub	Chiptune tracker: Furnace V0.6.5 for Windows, Mac and Linux 'tildearrows' Furnace is a tool that can be used to create sound chip music ("chiptune"), mostly from the 8/16-bit era (amiga-news.de reported). It supports a wide range of functions and sound chips, from NES, SNES and Genesis to ES5506, VIC-20 and the Amiga. Version 0.6.5 introduces, among other things, the TIunA sound driver inspired by TIAtune, which uses rapid frequency switching to achieve pitches which otherwise are impossible, therefore facilitating music composition (YouTube video). The songs can be exported as audio files (.wav), VGM files and ZSM files (for Commander X16). An manual is available. (dr) [News message: 28.
