`31.Aug.2025`	AmigaOS 4: ShaderNova 1.1 for post-processing effects ShaderNova uses the Warp3D Nova library (version 54.16) for AmigaOS 4 to mirror content from other windows and render it using fragment shaders. The source window must not be obscured, though. If running on its own screen, ShaderNova can also be used in full-screen mode. Normal keyboard and mouse events are passed through to the original window. (snx) [News message: 31. Aug. 2025, 08:16] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`31.Aug.2025` MorphZone (forum)	MorphOS: Beta version 6 of the SDK-Explorer Yannick 'Papiosaur' Buchy's SDK-Explorer is used to display the documentation included in the MorphOS developer package. However, the beta version 6 now available does not yet have the ability to display also the source code from the SDK (or third-party documents). Minor issues still to be resolved include the search function's case sensitivity and the consistent display of document titles in bold.

`31.Aug.2025` Amiga Future (website)	AI image generator: AmiDream 0.3 Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's AmiDream uses the Stable Diffusion language model to generate images from text descriptions. The program is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS. The update fixes bugs and introduces a randomly generated image every day, including a list of random images from previous days, as this seems to be the most used feature according to the author and can therefore be loaded faster for everyone now.

`30.Aug.2025` Marcin Spoczynski (E-Mail)	Remote control of an Ultimate 64: u64SidPlayer and u64ctl Marcin Spoczynski has released two tools, u64SidPlayer and u64ctl, which allow an Amiga to control the FPGA-based C64 and 1541 clones Ultimate 64 and Ultimate II via a home network. u64SidPlayer is a dedicated SID music player with full playlist management, HVSC song database integration, multi-subsong navigation and dual-SID detection. It features a MUI interface, search/filter capabilities, shuffle/repeat modes, and automatic song length database downloads from HVSC servers. u64ctl is a Ultimate64/Ultimate-II control suite including a CLI tool for scripting, a MUI graphical interface and a developer library. It provides remote control for disk image mounting (D64/G64/D71/G71/D81), PRG/CRT loading, memory read/write, machine control (reset/reboot/power), keyboard input, and basic SID/MOD playback.

`30.Aug.2025` Steffen Häuser (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: modular multi-plattform emulator "RetroArch" Steffen Häuser writes: After a long development period, the modular emulator system RetroArch for AmigaOS 4 was released today on os4depot. Unlike single emulators, RetroArch has the advantage that it is easier to implement/port a 'core' and that you don't have to implement things like video refresh, sound and gamepad support from scratch every time, because the main executable already does that – and is highly optimised. And the end user gets a common GUI for all emulations. A large number of cores are already available. Versions for WarpOS, MorphOS and 68k (and possibly AROS x86 in the future; the AROS version's GUI is already running, but the cores are not yet) are still in development (donors via PayPal to tirionareonwe@gmail.com can already receive the beta for WOS/MOS/68k). MorphOS and WarpOS versions will probably be the next to be released, but it is not yet known exactly how long this will take. (cg) [News message: 30.

`30.Aug.2025`	AmigaOS 4: Audio editor Rave 1.8 Daniel "trixie" Jedlicka has released version 1.8 of his audio editor "Rave". To load and save audio files, the programme now uses the Linux library libsndfile, which was recently ported to an AmigaOS shared library by Jedlicka himself and was also released today. The changes in Rave 1.8 in detail: The program now uses sndfile.library (needs to be installed in LIBS:) for sample loading and saving, instead of a custom module. Added support for Microsoft ADPCM compression in the loader and saver code. New function in the Edit menu: "Set selection", which allows making precise selections based on user input or pre-defined ranges. The item "Extend selection" in the Edit menu has been renamed to "Modify selection", and its submenu contains two new commands, "Halve" and "Double". Fixed the "Create new drawer" function in the file requester, which would cause a lockup if the "Enter created drawer" option was selected. Fixed a small bug introduced in V1.7 which would leave certain menu commands available even if no sample was loaded. Across all program components, reworked memory allocations to make them more consistent and less error-prone. When loading the list of recently opened files, Rave now checks the list and removes all items that are no longer available. In the file requester, the file name gadget wouldn't accept more than 127 characters; the limit has been increased to MAX_DOS_NAME (255 characters) to support long file names in modern filesystems. Various other smaller improvements and fixes. Updated documentation. (cg) [News message: 30. Aug. 2025, 22:54] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`29.Aug.2025`	Programming challenge: Demos without using CPU At this year's Evoke demo party, the demo "No-CPU Challenge" by Demostue Allstars took first place in the "Alternative Platforms" category (amiga-news.de reported) and also served as an invitation to a programming challenge: the creation of demos that run entirely on Amiga custom chips without using the CPU. The linked repository contains the challenge rules and a runner application for launching no-CPU demos. (dr) [News message: 29.

`29.Aug.2025`	Preview video: Emu68 V1.1 with Dumpster feature (update) In a preview video, Michal Schulz uses the macOS 8.1 boot process to demonstrate how the Dumpster feature in the upcoming version 1.1 of Emu68 improves performance: with Dumpster disabled, the boot process took 84 seconds, but after enabling it, the boot time was reduced to 28 seconds. And the developer explained: "Dumpster is a new way of destroying and re-using JIT instruction caches in Emu68. Instead of throwing them away right after cache flush, they are reused later if the memory of the JIT block has not changed. The effect is visible here - macOS is constantly flushing CPU instruction cache, also the JIT cache of Emu68. With dumpster on, the boot time of macOS decreases drastically. The effect is even more pronounced on macOS 7.5. This is a Work-In-Progress - there are still few things to do before it is going public." Update: (29.08.2025, 20:11, dr) The developer has now published the first part of a three-part series of articles in which he provides an overview of the upcoming version 1.1 of Emu68. The first part deals with changes to the JIT scheduler and hash tables. (dr) [News message: 29. Aug. 2025, 05:58] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
