`19.Nov.2024` Andreas Gouders via A1K	ADF-Tool: ADF-Blitzer 3.0 has been published More than two decades after the last version 2.20, Andreas Gouders has released version 3.0 of his ‘ADF Blitzer’. The tool can be used to convert floppy disks in drives DF0: to DF3: into an ADF file or to write ADF files back to floppy disks. The software developed in Blitz Basic was largely rewritten for the new version and now has a modernised user interface. It also requires less memory because the loaded ADF file is not stored in the entire RAM – only 512 KB of free RAM is now required (in addition to Kick-ROM 2.0 or higher). A conversion abort function and a progress bar have also been added. Furthermore, only drives that are actually connected are displayed, and the drive menu is now only displayed when more than one drive is present. (nba) [News message: 19.

`18.Nov.2024`	Reimplementation of 'Frontier: Elite II'-Intros with browser playback v0.4 In mid-2021, we already reported on Mark Watson's project to recreate the graphics and music of the Frontier: Elite II intro in C and, in the process, to implement improved 3D models (e.g. planetary sky added to the intro) or support for 2 and 4 times the original screen resolution. The new version 0.4 provides the following changes: Clipping fixes Graphical updates to intro so it looks better at 640x360+ Slight speedups for Amiga WASM directly (without using Emscripten) IMGUI inspector / debugger For all those who no longer own an Amiga and do not want to install an emulator, the developer has also realised the result of his work for playback in the browser.
