MorphOS: Odyssey Web Browser 1.18
Fabien 'Fab' Coeurjoly has released another update of the WebKit-engine based web browser Odyssey for MorphOS. Among others the HTML5-compatibility was increased and uploading documents to Google Docs and Drive was improved. All changes are listed in the Readme-file. As usual there is also a version without SVG-support which uses less memory.

Please note: If you have used instead of the version 1.17 from the website of the author the one from the MorphOS-CD 3.0/3.1, so please overwrite the file conf/font/fonts.conf during the installation.

Amiga-News wishes Merry Christmas!
The team of Amiga-News wishes all Amiga-fans a Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays and a happy New Year!

Over 900 news in the year 2012 demonstrate that the world of the Amiga is still alive which probably nobody has expected after the decline of Commodore more than 18 years ago. On behalf of our readers we would like to thank all those who keep "our" Amiga alive. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Rupert Hausberger (ANF)


Javascript: Scripted Amiga Emulator 0.7
Rupert Hausberger's Scripted Amiga Emulator is written in Javascript and thus should run under all modern web browsers, but so far its completely supported by Chrome only.

Changes in version 0.7 (24.12.2012):
  • Common:
    • Chaned the project-name from 'Janus' to 'SAE' (Scripted Amiga Emulator)
    • Separated the GUI form the core and rewrote most of it
    • Simplified the whole code. This means, that functions are called faster
    • Ported new Copper-, Blitter-, Audio-, Disk- and event-handling code from WinUAE 2.5.0
    • Moved all "beam-functions" to events.js, for faster access
    • Added "CPU usage" to the GUI
    • Added "Hall of Fame"
  • CPU:
    • Added support for exact cycling. The CPU have now 7.09 MHz on PAL and 7.16 MHz on NTSC respectively
    • Added option for "Original" and "Maximum" speed.
  • Audio:
    • Added a ring-buffer before output. No more "bagpipe"-like audio
    • Added a option to just emulate the hardware, but not to play any sound, e.g. "Agony" was not starting, if audio was disabled
  • Display:
    • Switched from RGB to the 565 texture-format-encoding in WebGL, which gives a little more speed
    • Added support and a option for 4x scaling
    • Fixed screen-draging in lo-hires-modes
    • Added a option to disable the output. Can be used to better play music-demos
  • Disk:
    • Added support for different speed-modes
    • Added support for extended ADF-files
    • Enabled write support (to memory)
  • Input:
    • The F-keys do work normaly now, i.e F5 doesn't reload the emulator, backspace doesn't go to the last page, etc.
    • Fixed bug in the joystick-emulation
  • New games in version 0.7:
    • Alien Breed Special Edition 92
    • Boby Blows Galactic
    • Barbarian
    • Dynablaster
    • North'n'South
    • Prince of Persia
    • Project-X

Version 0.86 of Pascal Papara's AROS-distribution Broadway now is available and called "redux" (Screenshot, Video). 1 GB RAM is required (640 MB might be sufficient).

  • New Boot-Menu to choose from Live/Rescue-mode, Installation and Webinstaller
  • Updated applications and games
  • Added new wallpapers, video and music

  • Games G.E.M.Z and BOH added
  • UI changes: Renamed "otherOS" submenu in quickstater to "Emulation" and splitted it into "computers" and "consoles"
