Creating Amiga ISO files using Windows: ISOCD-Win 1.3.4.3
ISOCD-Win is a C#/.NET Windows replacement for the native Amiga ISOCD application. It creates bootable ISO image files which are compatible with the Amiga CD32 and CDTV (amiga-news.de reported).

Since our last report, minor updates have been made to ISOCD-Win, currently in version 1.3.4.3:
  • Protection against file names that are too long
  • ' to allowed chars

Sound card: updated drivers for AmiGUS
Christoph Fassbach has updated his AHI and MHI drivers for the AmiGUS sound card and fixed several bugs:
  • AHI recording: Lock-ups fixed by correcting calculation of interval length
  • AHI recording: Crashes fixed by correcting calculation of FIFO size
  • AHI playback: Now allowing more channels - still stupid, but when Tocatta is claiming 128 channels, I guess AmiGUS should do the same
  • MHI: uper rare crashes of mp3 codec chip at end of playback fixed
The developer states: "We would also like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who reported errors and helped with testing. The recording tests in particular involved 8 sampling rates times 20 modes times 2 programs, which were run multiple times, resulting in a total of almost 1,000 test cases – we couldn't have done it without you, Ingo – thank you!"

Toolbar images: AISSClassic 1.1
"Amiga Image Storage System" (AISS) is a system for managing toolbar images. Following the initial release last January (amiga-news.de reported), developer Martin Merz has now published an update of AISS on Aminet. The new version 1.1 contains around 1,400 additional pictograms and PNG files without metadata, which promises a significant improvement in the speed at which images are loaded. (nba)

AmigaOS 4: Video Vortex 1.2 - GUI for searching and watching YouTube videos
Video Vortex is a graphical user interface for YT.rexx for searching and viewing YouTube videos. YT.rexx – the new version 3.8 must be copied manually into an existing Video Vortex installation – is a script that provides direct video and audio links from YouTube URLs. Video Vortex, in turn, saves the user the hassle of editing various configuration files and offers a clear and easy-to-use user interface written with Hollywood and the MUIRoyale plugin (amiga-news.de reported.

In the new version 1.2, FFplay - part of FFmpeg 8.0 - has been added to the players, and there is a Dualplay in the menu. (dr)

Puzzle game: Pjusk 1.1
The aim of Pjusk is to find your way through a labyrinth by tackling enemies in a carefully considered sequence in order to open doors and collect resources (amiga-news.de reported). While the initial version was created with the Scorpion Engine, version 1.1 is a complete reprogramming with AmiBlitz3. Apart from that, the versions do not differ significantly, but the author has nevertheless included the following changes:
  • Added keyboard controls
  • Noticable performance increase in densily populated levels.
  • The original version had a bug which sometimes caused the game to not register that the player reached the level exit.
  • Added ingame menu (joybutton/enter) for restarting level and exit to mainmenu.

Amiga emulator for macOS: vAmiga 4.4b6
Dirk Hoffmann has released version 4.4b6 of his Amiga emulator "vAmiga" for macOS. Since the last beta version, the author has implemented RetroVault, which uses macFUSE to mount retro disk images. To avoid code duplication, significant parts of vAmiga have been redesigned and modularised. In addition, several issues have been fixed. (dr)

Web-based Image editor: DPaint.js 0.2.0
"DPaint.js" by 'Steffest' is a web-based image editor with a focus on Amiga file formats, heavily inspired by the classic DPaint. It can read and write all types of Amiga icons and IFF images (amiga-news.de reported). According to the author, two years of work on bug fixes and optimisations have gone into the new version 0.2.0. New Amiga-specific features:
  • Reading and writing IFF ANIM files (And Gif as well, so you can use it to convert animated Gifs to ANIM and the other way around)
  • Reading and writing of HAM images (HAM6, HAM8 and SHAM, thanks Rob Coenen!)
  • 12 bit color depths for OCS Amigav
  • Better Color Cycle with IFF export
There are also other general changes. DPaint.js has also moved to a new domain. (dr)

Playable "Tech Demo": Micro Karting #2
"Micro Karting" (video) is an attempt, written entirely in assembler, to implement a 3D kart racing game on a bare A1200 (amiga-news.de reported). The now released, playable "Tech Demo #2" allows free driving on the track. The graphics engine has been improved and karts can now reach speeds up to 60% faster.

There are no limits yet - no track limits, no collisions - but it is possible to complete laps together with other karts. (dr)
