USB-Adapter for input devices: Ryś
In June, first information was provided, now it is official: The USB-adapter Ryś made in Poland is supposed to make it possible to use an USB-mouse, an USB-joystick and USB-joypad with an Amiga - without having to install additional drivers.
Ryś includes a 16-Bit micro-controller which interpretes signals of connected USB-HID-devices (mouse, joystick and joypad) using an internal USB-stack and then emulates an Amiga-compatible input device to the Amiga. It is not necessary to install a driver. The adapter is connected to the mouse or joystick port. Firmware updates can be installed using a "bootloader" mode which is not explained in detail.
Ryś is delivered in a simple connector housing. It is also possible to use it together with an A600 but obviously a (mechanical) adapter is required. Apart from that the adapter is compatible with all Amiga models. According to the website the development was completed. Information about the price or availability was not available.

Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.5.18dev (Update)
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD is based on WinUAE and can be completely controlled with a joypad. Since the last stable version released in March (2.4.1), so far only developer versions have been released.
Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.17dev:
- Initial support for magic mouse / virtual mouse
- New option mouse_integration (boolean) (Setting it to 1 implies cursor=0, automatic_input_grab=0)
- New option cursor (boolean + auto)
- Removed audio_buffer_target_bytes (use audio_buffer_target_size instead)
- Changes to audio buffer fill logic
- Measure fps internally with floating point numbers
- Fixed cyberstormppc.rom lookup when using FS-UAE config file
- Fixed ISO-8859-1 UTF-8 conversion (broke in 2.5.15dev)
- Renamed testing option workbench -> workbenc_disk
- Updated emulation core from WinUAE 2900b17
Known bugs:
- The PearPC fallback may not work properly. Please make sure you are using the qemu-uae plugin (check in fs-uae.log.txt that it is loaded properly) if you’re having problems.
- AmigaOS 4.1 w/Picasso IV => sometimes weird frame rate (~36 FPS)
- When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time
- Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now
- On OS X, cursor movement is currently not received by FS-UAE when the window is not focused (either something SDL 2 or OS X itself does). This makes mouse integration a bit less useful.
Update: (18:17, 30.09.14, snx)
Meanwhile, version 2.5.18dev is available already. Changes can be found at the title link. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Tracker: DigiBooster 3.1
Press release: DigiBooster 3.1 has been released for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. DigiBooster 3.1 is available on CD-ROM and as download at the online shop of APC&TCP.
DigiBooster 3.1 follows the traditional tracker's way of making music with an
advanced audio processing engine, and an up-to-date MUI based graphical user
interface. It retains backward compatibility with its Amiga ancestor,
DigiBooster Pro 2. On the other hand the program code has been written from
scratch. Its modular design gives it a straightforward path for future
development. Except for versions for classic Amiga computers, DigiBooster 3.1 is also compiled for PowerPC processors, taking advantage of their greater computing power.
DigiBooster 3.1 key features:
- ProTracker modules import. DigiBooster 3.1 can load and play basic four track
modules, as well as multichannel ones, up to 32 channels. Import quality is
significantly better than in DigiBooster Pro 2.x
- Autosaving. DigiBooster 3.1 can save in user defined periods of time and
keep defined number of lately saved versions with autorotation
- Finished block operations in the pattern editor. DigiBooster 3.1 supports
multitrack blocks. Block operations are also available in the ARexx interface
- ARexx commands for loading/importing the module and starting playback
- New languages: French and Polish
How to get an update to version 3.1? The update from version 3.0 to 3.1 is available for free! Updates from older releases (DigiBooster Pro 2.x) are not possible.
Users who bought the download version before just have to login at the online-shop and simply download the current full version archive of DigiBooster 3.1.
Users with the CD-ROM version of DigiBooster 3.0 simply write an e-mail to info@apc-tcp.de with the following content:
- Registration number (not serial number)
- Complete postal address
- Your e-mail address (the archive is about 3 MB in size)
You will get your update immediately via e-mail.
DigiBooster 3.1 system requirements:
- AmigaOS 3.x:
- Minimum: 68020, harddrive, 8 MB Fast RAM, Workbench 3.0, MUI 3.8, AHI 4.x, screenmode 640x480
- Recommended: AmigaOS 3.x, 68060/50 MHz, 16 MB Fast RAM, graphics card, soundcard
- Supports: WinUAE (JIT enabled) with Picasso96 and dedicated AHI drivers
- AmigaOS 4:
- Minimum: AmigaOS 4.0, harddrive, 128 MB RAM, MUI 3.9
- Recommended: AHI compatible soundcard, 500+ MHz processor
- MorphOS:
- Minimum: MorphOS 2.7, harddrive, 128 MB RAM
