Jean-François Fabre's source codes of WHDLoad slaves on Github
Jean-François 'jotd' Fabre has released all assembler source codes of WHDLoad installers which he wrote or maintained on Github. These are little programs which for example remove copy protection and hardware or Kickstart dependences from a commercial game delivered on disk and convert it in a WHDLoad "slave". This is a program which can be executed by WHDLoad. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: First public release of new web browser Wayfarer
Press release: Wayfarer, a new web browser based on a modern mid-2020 branch of WebKit is now available for download from wayfarer.icu. This new app makes it possible to browse most of the web that have become off-limits for Odyssey with its ageing engine. Google apps like Docs, Drive and Maps with Street view are supported just as the Whatsapp or Telegram web interfaces.

Wayfarer will work on any machine running the brand new MorphOS 3.14 with at least 1GB of RAM. A 1.5GHz or faster CPU is recommended.

This port has been made possible by the concerted effort of the MorphOS developers, the MorphOS beta testers, translators and all of the users who donated to the project. (snx)

Operating system: MorphOS 3.14
Press release: The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the immediate availability of MorphOS 3.14. While mostly a maintenance and stability release, this update also brings multiple technological improvements in the kernel. Out of these, the most notable are TLS support in exec.library, updates to the Netstack and ixemul.library.

We would also like to thank all of our translators and beta testers for stepping up their efforts in the weeks leading up to this release. This update ships with over 230 new and more than a 100 improved translation files.

We strongly urge new users to carefully read our installation and troubleshooting guides before they attempt to install MorphOS for the first time. Existing users can upgrade via the familiar procedure but are encouraged to read the guides as well. MorphOS 3.14 is available for download in our files section. (snx)

Amiga emulator for Mac OS: vAmiga 0.9.12
Dirk Hoffmann's "vAmiga" is a new Amiga emulator for MacOS computers emulating an A500, A1000 or A2000. Changes since our last news item:
  • Added DOS disk support (3.5“ 720KB, Amiga Transformer)
  • Fixed a bug in the implementation of the RESET instruction (Amiga Transformer)
  • Fixed a bug that caused Paula to omit DSKBLK IRQs when no drive was selected (A-Max)
  • The ERSY bit in BPLCON0 now freezes the position counters (The Jetsons)
  • The BZERO bit in DMACON had wrong polarity when the Line Blitter was in use
  • Fixed the serial loopback cable (which was broken since v0.60)
  • The memory inspector has been updated. It can now display the bank map as it is seen by Agnus
  • Recalibrated the drive motor to rotate the disk at exactly 300rpm
