amiga-news.de also accessable SSL encrypted
From now on you also can visit our website under the URL https://www.amiga-news.de, that means with SSL encryption. Considering our readers using a real Amiga, a SSL communication currently is not forced - but because we attach importance to relative URLs syntax, readers should permanently surf the Internet SSL encrypted if they have chosen the SSL start URL.

Due to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation some parts of the website are always SSL encrypted. This applies to forms completing by users e.g. writing comments or using our contact form.

If SSL users should find a link on our websites, which downgrades their connection to an unencrypted communication, then please let us know. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Apollo-Team: Delay of Vampire V4, Vampire 600 V2.1 being produced
Under the title link the Apollo team has announced that the release of the FPGA accelerator board Apollo V4 continues to be delayed. A single bug makes it necessary to rewrite an important part of the core. The team wrote: "Hundreds of hours have been spent on it to determine why the heck the Vampire V4 does work well on some Amiga 500 boards and not on others (despite same chips revisions). Team measured everything that could be measured (if you mind, majsta has the biggest thing we could measure) and crosschecked with all Altera manuals, and could not find a single hardware issue...the Amiga 500 is a real timing inferno. Most of us agrees that understanding women is easier than talking to an Amiga 500 chipset."

Igor 'Majsta' Majstorovic has started again the production of the Vampire 600. Some hardware components have been improved in V2.1, e.g. "better power circuitry, better caps, better socket, better cigarette smell, etc". (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: OpenXcom 1.0.74xxx
Paweł 'Stefkos' Stefański has updated his MorphOS port of OpenXcom. This is an open source clone of the Microprose game UFO: Enemy Unknown based on SDL. Additionally the original files of X-COM: UFO Defense are required.

Changes:
  • UFO Xcom and Terror From The Deep work now
  • When music is not loaded application is working (in original version it didn't)
  • No FLC video (game support only intro application at the moment - UFO XCom)
  • Software game display engine is really slow
  • No OpenGL shaders

amiga-news.de: Common login for news section and forum
Historically amiga-news.de has been developed from several program packages which are completely independent. Therefore you had to separately log in the comment section and the forum although both sections used the same user database.

In the course of adapting to the General Data Protection Regulation we have changed to a common login. Users only have to log in once and are recognized as registered on the whole website. You have to accept the new General Data Protection Regulation while your first login. (cg) (Translation: dr)

FastCache040+ 1.8
FastCache040+ is a patch for the 68040 and 68060.library, which replaces the functions CachePreDMA() and CachePostDMA(). The replacement functions are noticeably shorter and promise a more efficient management of the Copyback cache for the DMA. "While every system will have some CPU performance loss under DMA conditions, the new functions keep this performance loss to a bare minimum."

A MMU is required. Tools like GigaMEM or VMM which provide virtual memory must not be used. And as the author also wrote: "Do NOT use this patch with any code which uses the MMU to write protect or remap modified data structures!...Remapping a mirror image of the Kickstart ROM with the MMU is OK!"

Users of a Phase5-68060.library first should run FixMapP5 before starting the patch. (snx) (Translation: dr)
