AROS: AEROS beta version 5 for Raspberry Pi
The fifth beta version of Pascal Papara's Debian-Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS for the Raspberry Pi now also is available for unregistered users - as usual without the lx-command which can launch Linux-applications out of AROS.

In this version AROS-ARHMfh-components of Krzysztof 'deadwood' Smiechowicz were updated, clicking on AHI pref icon doesn't crash it anymore and the icons are "not as ugly as" in the last release. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Islands Mini-Golf 1.5
In 2008 the game Islands Mini-Golf was released for Mac OS X as Shareware and now is also available for free for MorphOS. A French review you can find at Obligement.

Islands Mini-Golf requires a 3D video card as well as 128 MB RAM and features 5 themes with 90 tracks for up to four players. In the MorphOS-version there are some graphics bug (missing textures) and the online hiscores does not work. The game uses the full power of the processor, possibly caused by using PowerSDL.

Tutorials: Roadshow on the Minimig/Turbo Chameleon 64
The "Turbo Chameleon 64" is a FPGA-based C64 accelerator board which can be also used in the stand-alone mode. On the board a RS-232-port can be upgraded as Amiga extension using the clockport.

Christian "Lallafa" Vogelsang shows in his English-language blog how he uses the clockport with the help of a simple hardware-mods for an emulated Amiga and how he integrates the computer with Roadshow and PPP into a home network. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Jump and Run: Frank Wille announces "Solid Gold" for Amiga 500
Frank "phx" Wille (among others Sqrxz, vbcc) has announced another jump'n run game for the end of the year. "Solid Gold" is created in cooperation with the brother of Wille who is the graphic artist:



Wille describes Solid Gold as "a mix of Turrican, Giana Sisters and Rick Dangerous". The game was developed in assembler and features smooth 8-way-scrolling with 50 pictures per second. An Amiga with at least one megabyte RAM (512 KB Chip, 512 KB Fast) is required.

Currently the highscore list and the final sequence are written. Apart from "some fine-tuning" (Wille) all other work was completed. Solid Gold will be released as ADF-image. The source code will be available for free. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: RadeonHD driver 1.0 RC2 (0.57)
A-EON has released an update of the commercial graphic board driver for RadeonHD, which is developed by Hans de Ruiter. Changes in this version:
  • Golden register initialisation code added (golden registers are a table of registers supplied by AMD's hardware engineers to be initialised on startup)
  • Improved the VGA (UBOOT/CFE screen) shutdown code for Evergreen+ chipsets. This solves the intermittent boot problems which affected some Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 cards. (and possibly others)
The driver supports 2D-operations and compositing and among others works with the following RadeonHD-types:
  • X1300-X1950 Serie
  • HD4000 Serie
  • "Evergreen" HD5000 Serie
  • "Northern Islands" HD6000 Serie
  • "Southern Island" HD7000 Serie
