Accelerator board projekt: Buffee firmware beta v0.3
In her blog, which has been given a new layout, Renee Cousins, one of the two developers of the turbo card project "Buffee", already reported several times about her emulation solution of the 68k processor under ARM microprocessors, Pseudo-JIT (PJIT), and compared it for example with Emu68 or UAE (amiga-news.de reported). Now the beta version 0.3 has been published.
According to the developers, "PJIT is a real-time version of JIT that avoids the traditional issues of dynamic memory allocation and non-determinism. It is designed to run as a bare metal process on ARM microprocessors operating in big-endian mode to provide transparent access to a traditional 68K bus. It is useable with ARM SoC that integrates only a modest (by today's standards) amount of memory."
PJIT does not attempt to be a full system emulator. The beta version is not stable yet, still having issues with timing. With future versions, loading and debugging will also be possible under Visual Studio Code. Further notes and information can be found in the current blog entry. (dr)

MorphOS: WebRadio.sbar 3.0 beta
Already at the end of 2021 Thomas Igracki has provided a beta version 3.0 of his WebRadio screenbar module for MorphOS at the title link. Among other improvements, it contains a station search. However, if this is done too quickly one after the other, it can crash due to the beta status.

SFX engine: Audio Mixer 3.1
Jeroen Knoester's Audio Mixer (YouTube video of version 2.0) allows real time mixing several samples onto a single channel (up to 4 samples on one channel), while maintaining high performance (3.7% CPU time for 4 samples mixed @ 11KHz on an standard 1MB A500).
The author of the "Amiga Tech Files" - for example Different methods for Dual Layer Graphics - introduced first versions in such a blog post. Audio mixer 3.1 is a completely reworked version of that, featuring much more detailed documentation, extra examples, integration with C programs and several new features like looping samples, the internal 'voices' of the mixer being exposed, configuration through a config file (most things will be calculated automatically) and and no longer requiring samples to be a multiple of the mixer buffer size in length (samples can now be a multiple of 4 bytes instead, which saves RAM).

Linux: Nanosaur V1.44 ported
Nanosaur was released in 1998 by Pangea Software as a Mac exclusive. It was a pack-in game on Macs that came out around that time. Nanosaur casts a cybernetic dinosaur from the future who’s sent back in time 20 minutes before a giant asteroid hits the Earth. The developer 'jorio' has ported the MacOS 8 version with permission of Pangea Software to run on modern systems.
Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky, in turn, has compiled the source code for 32-bit Linux PPC on the basis of this LinuxPPC port, so that the game runs, for example, with the distribution Fienix on an AmigaOne X1000 or 5000. (dr)

Windows: Embedding media files into Amiga RAM for usage in own programs
'RetroNick', the author of the Sprite/Icon/Map editor "Raster Master" for Windows 10/11, has released "Hunkster" (named after the Hunk format), a Windows program that allows programmers to convert media files so that they are loaded by the Amiga into its memory, if necessary also specifically into Chip or Fast RAM. In the source code of a custom C or Pascal program, their address in memory can then be transferred to a variable or an array, respectively, and used for execution.
The author himself is only interested in publishing the Windows version, but a version for Linux is just as possible. Interested developers should then fork his repository and adapt the name (for example "LinuxHunkster"). (dr)

Do it yourself: Amiga Floppy Swap
Amiga Floppy Swap is an extension for the Amiga 500, 1000, 2000 or 3000 with connected external drive, which is placed under the MOS 8520 Even CIA chip. After pressing Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga twice in quick succession, the drives DF0: and DF1: are swapped, so that booting from e.g. a Gotek floppy drive emulator is possible.
Pressing the reset keys twice again restores the previous state, and a piezo element provides acoustic feedback that the switch has been executed. (snx)
