`25.Oct.2024`	Emulator: Denise v2.4 Denise is a cycle accurate and platform independant emulator which since version 2.0 can emulate an Amiga 500 and Amiga 1000 (Kickstart disks are required) in addition to a C64 (German YouTube video). Numerous amiga-specific changes have been made since our last report on version 2.21: among other things, emulation has been improved, especially the disk drive, and a 4-player adapter is now supported. Detailed changes: Version 2.4 support macOS Metal graphics driver with shaders added Cocoa as a keyboard driver for macOS (avoid the system dialog to allow input) added BSD UHID joypad driver, supported on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD reworked on-screen status messages separated(C64/Amiga) file dialog preview options and moved to Software UI improved openGL shader cache improved handling of shader UI added possibility to assign a different floppy sound profile for external drives Amiga: added new floppy sound profile Amiga: emulate Blitter<>Copper conflict Version 2.3 added RetroArch Shader support Amiga: improved emulation, especially the disk drive Amiga: emulated Bitplane <> Refresh conflicts Amiga: Final Fight Enhanced supported by temporary option to fake ECS Denise Amiga: written floppy disks are now saved in a second file (this does not apply to uncompressed ADF (don't worry, emulator asks if ADF can be changed) Amiga: added 4-player adapter Amiga: added copy protection dongle support fixed a bug not finishing Drag'n'Drop in Linux GTK fixed some OSX bugs/crashes [looking for tester] improved mouse capture handling for all OSes UI changes (volume slider has moved to status bar, added option to capture pointer by left mouse button) changed BuildSystem to CMAKE added Linux/BSD XCB input driver for keyboard/mouse improved GTK window resizing in some desktop environments Version 2.2 added D3D11 driver added italian translation (thanks to Luigi) added an option to rotate the screen (90°/180°/270°) added an option to force a single instance when opening another instance from frontend loader or file explorer fixed Amiga basic volume (louder) added a more easy way to set stereo separation (Audio -> DSP) Denise is available cross platform for Windows 32/64 XP and higher, macOS (from version 10.9 on, Intel and Arm) and Linux (Ubuntu).

`24.Oct.2024` Mastodon	Arananet: Accelerator Trinity 1240-60 can be pre-ordered After four years of development and extensive testing, "best accelerator ever built for the Amiga A1200" has been finalised. The Trinity 1240-60 supports 68040-68060 CPUs and is compatible with all A1200 revisions. According to the developer, great care has been taken to optimise access to the chip memory, regardless of whether it is equipped with a 68040 or 68060 processor. It can now be pre-ordered for 369 euros. According to the developers, numerous tests were carried out in which the Trinity was compared with the Blizzard 1260. The Trinity performed better in all the demos tested. The Trinity can be used with any MC68060/040 CPU (EC, LC or Full). When using a 68040 processor with 25MHz, please note that the Trinity automatically overclocks it to 33MHz. The use of a heat sink is recommended. The exact specifications: 128MB SDRAM Fast memory Optimized chip memory access at any CPU clock speed 68040/68060 compatible (via jumper) Onboard I2S 16-bit stereo sound card compatible with AHI Includes a 3.5mm jack Paula PassThrough Software interface for changing speed (MHz) Expansion connector for future upgrades Compatible with any A1200 motherboard revision Compatible with PCMCIA Compatible with Kickstart 3.1 (recommended 3.1.4 / 3.2) Black PCB color on this batch Fits in your old or new old stock A1200 case!!! A1100 friendly, of course. (dr) [News message: 24. Oct. 2024, 21:32] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`23.Oct.2024`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.21 Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks. Version 1.21 of the Greaseweazle Tools provides the following changes: micropolis: Codec for Micropolis hard-sectored MFM disks gw reset: By default do not reset configured "gw delays" Fix setup.py installation: Require bitarray earlier than v3 (dr) [News message: 23.
