Module player: NostalgicPlayer 2.0.1 for Windows
NostalgicPlayer is a program for playing Amiga music modules under Windows, based on APlayer. The development of the player had been started by the author Thomas Neumann in 1993 on the Amiga, later continued on BeOS and now on Windows (amiga-news.de reported).

Version 2.0.1 mainly fixes bugs of the previous version:
  • Made Future Composer player more robust for empty modules.
  • If you have set up Windows to use more than 2 channels, NostalgicPlayer crashed when trying to play a module. Big thanks to Robert Konrad (RobDangerous) for the fix.
  • If the very first line is selected in the module list, then the page-down key didn't work.
  • In some rare situations the Piano visualizer crashes when fast-forwarding with an invalid argument error.
  • Some mp3 files was not recognized as so.
  • Fixed different bugs when double-clicking a file to open it in NostalgicPlayer.
An installation package can be found on Microsoft Store. (dr)

Hollywood: Support by editors SciTE and Notepad++ (Update)
Andreas Falkenhahn writes: The popular editors SciTE and Notepad++ now also support Hollywood by default.

SciTE supports Hollywood beginning with version 5.3.6 and Notepad++ supports Hollywood beginning with version 8.5.2. SciTE is especially interesting for Linux and macOS users, since on these platforms no Hollywood IDE is available.

Update: (16:50, 19.06.23, snx)
Our reader Michael Jurisch rectifies: By his Hollywood extension for Visual Studio Code there is an alternative editor available for Linux and macOS. (snx)

Start bar: WBDock2 2.874
Thomas Rapp has updated his Toolmanager or AmiDock style start bar, WBDock2, to version 2.874. The changes of the program for AmigaOS 3.1 or higher include "autohide" mode now moving the dock above all other windows and appearing only when the mouse is on the right screen as well as taking pens from Palette prefs for drawing the frame around the dock.

Shell extension: GoShell 4.0
GoShell is a free and simple tool for opening a shell terminal in full screen mode on a separate screen (amiga-news.de reported). Changes in the now released version 4.0 of the tool developed by Krzysztof Donat:
  • added locale support for GoShell configuration tool (English GoShell.cd and GoShell.ct included. If you want a catalog for your language, feel free to translate)
  • added new predefined color set (yellow)
GoShell (Aminet link) runs on any Amiga with Kickstart 3.0+ and is freeware, but the author would appreciate a small donation. (dr)

SMB2 handler smb2fs V53.7 for AmigaOS 3/4 and AROS
The Server Message Block (SMB) is a network protocol for file, print and other server services in computer networks and allows access to files and directories located on another computer (Wikipedia entry). Fredrik Wikstrom's SMB2 handler is based on libsmb2 and allows remote access to files via the SMB2/3 protocols (amiga-news.de reported). Changes of version 53.7:
  • Merged latest changes from libsmb2 git repository.
  • AmigaOS 3 version now uses ReqTools for the password requester.
  • Now uses an empty string instead of a NULL pointer when connecting to a share without a password.
  • AROS version no longer gets SysBase by reading it from AbsExecBase.
  • AROS version: Replaced fcntl() and close() calls with IoctlSocket() and CloseSocket().
Requirements: newlib.library V53.40 or later (or V53.30 as included in AmigaOS 4.1 FE) and the filesysbox.library V54.4 or later for AmigaOS 4, filesysbox.library 54.3 or later for AROS and AmigaOS 3 and optional the requester.class (ClassAct/ReAction, for password requester) for AmigaOS 3.

For all three operating systems there is a GUI on Aminet for creating a DOSDriver.

AmigaOS 4: Current hardware availability
After ACube Systems recently delivered the last boards to pre-orderers, including shops (amiga-news.de reported), we asked the relevant Amiga shops if they had them on sale:

Alinea Computer offers a Sam460LE complete system for 1299 euros (plus shipping) with the following specifications:
  • Sam460LE board
  • Uboot
  • Cover
  • AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition included (OEM licence)
  • Kingston KVR667D2S5/2G DDR2 memory 2GB quality memory
  • Fractal Design Core 1000 Tower
  • High quality 550 Watt power supply with cable management
  • 4port SATA PCI controller
  • 240GB SanDisk SSD hard drive
  • DVD burner
  • Radeon HD 77xx 2 GB Gfx board
  • Soundblaster Live Audigy FX
As the item can only be ordered against prepayment, there is no direct purchase link in the shop, but must be ordered by enquiry. AmigaOne X5000 are currently not in stock.

For 1269 euro, but in the meantime sold out, Amedia Computer France had the Sam460LE on offer as a complete system. As the maintainers informed us, however, these will be available again during the next week and can thus be ordered:
  • a little Micro ATX slim case,
  • the Sam460LE 1,10GHz motherboard,
  • 1GB memory module,
  • 1x 240GB SSD 2.5 harddisk,
  • 1x Radeon HD5450 2GB graphic's card,
  • 1x Audio PCI Express card,
  • 1x PCI Sata card,
  • the AmigaOS 4.1 software.
As a specialist in assembling computers, other special configurations with many tower, Ram, hard disk, graphics card, sound card and Sata card variants can also be ordered on request. Amedia Computer France also continues to offer the AmigaOne X5000/40, which can be ordered on request. When ordering a complete system, an AmigaOS 4 game and a recovery USB stick are included free of charge.
Amedia Computer France is not only maintaining an online but two physical shops as well which are located in France, in Courcelles-Chaussy, and in Luxembourg, in Differdange, where they also sell AmigaOne X5040 towers.

ACube Systems itself does not offer a complete system, but the pure Sam460LE board for around 963 euros.

As the maintainer of the RELEC shop told us, he is in the process of restructuring his shop. He is currently working on offering new items for the Amiga, among others a new design for the X5000, called "the red D", a desktop case. Sam460 boards are also to be offered. We will report when this will be the case.

The American shop Amiga On The Lake does not currently offer any PPC systems. (dr)
