8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal v2023-09-10
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now.
Today, version v2023-09-10 was released. Changes:
- continues improvements to the MSX 2, especially its video chip and this emulator's automated detection of cartridge types;
- corrects the 65c02's BCD results, where they differ from a vanilla 6502;
- corrects the 65816's state after a BRK while in emulation mode; and
- resolves some timing discrepancies in some of the unofficial NOPs on the base 6502.

Pop Art: Amiga pictures from Keith Haring found, sold via NFT auction
Keith Haring was a well-known member of the US Pop Art movement, who was gifted an Amiga by Timothy Leary, another famous artist, to design graphics for Leary's never completed computer version of the Science Fiction novel Neuromancer.
Learys Neuromancer project didn't go anywhere, but Haring used the Amiga anyway, apparently - to create digital illustrations in his typical style. The Amiga disks containing his creations were found in Learys residue a decade ago, but only now they will be made available to the public: artnet.com reports that NFTs for five of the images will be sold via an online auction - four of the images can be seen in artnet's article.
The auctioneer estimates the worth of the collection of Keith Haring NFTs to be around 1.65 million USD - 200,000 to 500,000 Dollar per image. A similar auction two years ago with Amiga pictures from Andy Warhol earned the auctioneer 3.4 Millionen Dollar. (cg) (Translation: cg)
