`20.Feb.2023` Amigans (Forum)	AmigaOS 4: C runtime library clib2 v1.0.0 beta 8 Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday he has released the eighth beta version with the following changes: Added internal pthreads library Added new missing math functions Added dprintf Fixed a memory leak when using posix_memalign Some constructors/destructors changes Fixed ncurses/termios problems. Now ncurses can be used without any problem Added stdio_ext functions (except __freadptr) Some test progams makefile changes. Now it is possible to compile tests using GNUMakefile Many other internal changes (dr) [News message: 20. Feb. 2023, 08:51] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`19.Feb.2023`	Puzzle game: Connect 1.2 In the puzzle game "Connect" (screenshots), you have to connect a series of ICs in such a way that each chip receives exactly the number of connections printed on its package. Developer Frank Röger has written about the now released version 1.2: "Our visit to the Amiga Wintertreffen (Germany) brought some fun as well as some insights: Connect still has some minor bugs. For example, we found that on a Recalbox (Raspberry Pi + emulation) Connect runs rather suboptimal. The problem is that the game controllers support more than one fire button, which leads to the joystick for the Amiga being configured as a 2-button joystick. We were not able to change this and had to live with it at the meeting. However, that doesn't mean we have to live with it forever and have summarily added support for the 2-button joystick. So now it shouldn't matter which fire button is pressed. Next point of criticism was (once again) the installation routine. The moment Connect was installed into a subfolder, there was no longer an icon for the Connect folder. We were surprised that we didn't notice this during testing, but have corrected it with the new version. Thanks to Gothor for pointing this out! The user Afebriwyn has taken the initiative and created a WHDLoad slave for Connect. The special thing about it is that you can run the game without graphic errors even with loaded P96 drivers or very fast CPUs. Thanks to Afebriwyn for this work. However, we have 2 notes about this: 1. If you use a 68060, you have to use NOMMU in the ToolTypes. The same applies to other CPUs, which are emulated by any FPGAs or the like. If you don't do this, the game will abort with an error message at startup. 2. Because the slave is provided by a third party developer LogicalByte does not support the slave. If you encounter any problems, please contact the e-mail address given in the readme. Thank you for your understanding. We wish you a lot of fun!" (dr) [News message: 19.

`19.Feb.2023` Cizar via Discord/CS-Lab Warp#general (ANF)	CS-Lab: Further Warp 1260 and/or Warp 1240 boards can be assembled As Greg Donner reports at the title link, CS-Lab will soon receive 50 more FPGAs that were ordered a year ago. So the production of Warp 1260 and Warp 1240 turbo boards can be resumed. Potential buyers therefore can contact CS-Lab now or already send in processors for testing. (snx) [News message: 19.

`18.Feb.2023`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Firmware 1.3 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 (amiga-news.de reported) The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Today version 1.8 of the Greaseweazle firmware has been released providing the following changes: AT32F403A: Run this MCU at 216MHz in main firmware USB: Implement GET_STATUS(DEVICE) as required by USB spec This fixes repeated USB resets on some Linux hosts Blinky test: Fix serial baud rate (115200) (dr) [News message: 18.
