`11.Jan.2025`	Video: Introduction of "PiStorm68k" and "AmiCube 1200" Ranko Rodic presented the current status of two of his projects a week ago: the "PiStorm68k" and the "AmiCube F1200". The "PiStorm68k" can accommodate any Raspberry Pi, including the 3B+, thanks to its newly designed form factor. In addition to an integrated WIFI module and a RealTimeClock, the board also contains a DIP64 slot to accommodate a real 68000 CPU. Using a simple switch, it is possible to switch back and forth between the PiStorm and the 68000 CPU. After some introductory videos (1, 2), Ranko Rodic also shows the final version of his computer project called "AmiCube F1200". It is to be a state-of-the-art FPGA computer that uses a Spartan 6 FPGA and is being specially developed for compatibility with Amiga. Among other things, it is said to offer "AGA support, stellar CPU performance, MIDI capabilities, 64MB RAM for seamless multitasking, USB support for convenient connectivity, and Joystick DB 9 support". It also has enhanced floppy interface capabilities. As soon as the prototype has been successfully tested, porting of the AGA core will begin. (dr) [News message: 11.

`09.Jan.2025` MiDWaN	Amiga emulator: Amiberry 7.0.0-RC3 Amiberry is an Amiga emulator for ARM-based single-chip systems such as the Raspberry Pi, the Odroid XU4 or the Tinkerboard from ASUS, which comes with some newly developed features such as a "WHDLoad-Booter" or support for controller configuration using RetroArch. The current Release Candidate 3 ("RC") of version 7.0.0 is not recommended for weaker systems, for which an update of "Amiberry-Lite" will be provided shortly. (cg) [News message: 09.

`09.Jan.2025`	RTG driver: P96 3.5.0 Press release: The new version 3.5.0 contains driver updates for Trio64 (Cybervision), IMSG300 (Visiona) and ET4000 (Merlin/oMNiBus) cards. In addition, there are three new drivers for Vooodoo Banshee, Voodoo 3 and Voodoo 4/5-based graphics cards. This requires a PCI daughterboard with OpenPCI.library, which is not part of the P96 package, but can be downloaded for free. V3.5.0 also contains the first driver for the framebuffer mode of Indivision ECS V4. This driver requires a processor with MMU and an installed MMU library. Please note that your Indivision ECS V4 requires an updated FPGA core - this can be found in our Wiki and can be installed with the Indivision Configtool. Screen modes with 256 colors, 15/16-bit (Hi-colour) modes with over 65000 colors, as well as screen dragging of two screens are supported. Automatic panning is also supported for oversized screens. Please note that Indivision ECS V4 does not yet have a blitter, and therefore the speed of this driver is still comparatively low. All changes are summarized in the wiki article about P96. Unfortunately, we are still having problems with the store system, so we have not even tried to add the new files to the database. Even if it takes a little longer, we will send the new versions by e-mail - not only on request, but also pro-actively to customers who are in the free update phase. (cg) [News message: 09.
