`17.Mar.2020`	Source text for Amiga-SNES cross assembler TAsm published TAsm is a cross assembler which can create binaries for the SNES using the Amiga. In order to test the results on the console, a backup solution for Nintendo's hardware is required which can load games from disks. If a "Super Wildcard" is used, then the results of the assembler can be directly transfered to the destitaion device using a cable. TAsm at least requires a 68020 processor as well as Kickstart 2.04 or higher. An executable, the source text (DEVPAC format) as well as a short documentation you can find on the website of the author under the title link. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 17.

`02.Mar.2020` Edgar Schwan (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.5 Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is an Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation but all programs has been compiled for AmigaOS 4. AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure similar to an Unix installation. In version 1.5 many problems have been solved but there are also new features like a new windows manager and new display drivers. The documentation now is available as PDF file. New in AmiCygnix-Base: This release now includes a new Window Manager called "Dynamic Window Manager" (dwm), recommended for use with programs launched from the standalone scripts. This window manager maximizes the main window of the program and does not add frames to the windows. This avoids duplicate frames, as in a workbench display and the use of the window manager Openbox. A total of seven new display drivers have been added to the package. All drivers that do not use Picasso96 require graphics.library V54! If a workbench display is iconized, the name of the icon now indicates the program started in it, if it was started with a standalone script. The X server did not support special keys like "Page Up" or "Home" found on a PC keyboard. Also the NumLock key was not supported. This has now been implemented (thanks to Stefan Juhas for his hint!). Under certain circumstances, the X server could freeze the entire system when starting or exiting. This particularly occurred in programs that were started with a standalone script. All display drivers have been revised for this and the problems should be resolved. Fixed some bugs in myX11Setup and myX11SetupLight. For some parts of the program, the Italian translation has been updated or recreated. The display drivers xpicasso96clonewb and xpicasso96wb were revised for better performance, especially on 32bit screens. The "lxpanel" desktop panel could crash under certain circumstances. Has been fixed. Also thanks to Samir for the hint! The documentation in the "Docs" directory is now predominantly in PDF format. New in AmiCygnix-Tools: The start scripts have been adapted to the new windows manager. The documentation also now is available as PDF file. Screenshots: Download: amicygnix-base.lha (121 MB) amicygnix-tools.lha (76 MB) (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 02.

`01.Mar.2020` Achim Pankalla (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: Spreadsheet ignitionOS4 1.00 Achim Pankalla wrote: Under the title link version 1.00 of the spreadsheet "ignitionOS4" is available on the Sourceforge website. For more than ten years ignition has been open source and this is the sixth version of the AmigaOS-4 port. This version no longer is calleds "beta" although it is not completely bug-free and a Grim Reaper might happen. Despite this many functions have been added and about 100 bugs/problems have been removed. By releasing this version a new user-interface and menu layout has been introduced providing a modern look and of course meeting suggestions of the users. For example there now is an export/import menu and the dialog and the procedure of loading and saving was simpliefied. Of course still the user can create his own user-interface. The new icons were added as well. This version has focused on the ARexx and DB functions. Many bugs have been fixed and some new functions added. Many thanks to Helmut Haake for revising the manual which now can be opened on every menu item, dialog and GUI element by using the Help key. For using the ODS import/export you still have to separately install the ign-addon-ods. Many thanks also to all beta testers, bug reportes, translators and supporters! You can get further information in the ignitionOS4 forum on os4welt.de - or you can write an e-mail, also for providing any feedback. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 01.

`29.Feb.2020`	Another FPGA-based CPU card in developement Mike Stirling is building a FPGA-based accelerator board which will use the open source 68k core TG68 as CPU. The latest prototypes still use a FPGA developer board (Terasic DE0 Nano) which is connected to the CPU socket of the Amiga. Using self made boards will follow later. In contrast to the well-known Vampire, here it will be focused on maximum compatibility. Additional to the fast processor and Fast-RAM, the current prototypes also can access SD cards. First of all the board is being developed for the Amiga 500 which is followed by versions for other Amiga models. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 29.

`28.Feb.2020` Indie Retro News	Dungeon Crawler: Port of "Legacy" (2003) announced Legacy is a classic Dungeon Crawler like Dungeon Master or Eye of the Beholder which was released in 2003 for different PDA platforms. Recently Szilárd 'BSzili' Biró has released a limited demo version of an Amiga port (video of the intro) but also pointed out that it is unlikely that a full version will be available due to the legal status. Obviously a publisher called Inked Pixel Software has addressed this situation and has announced via Indie Retro News that it is going to commercially distribute the full Amiga version. A date for the release has not been set. The game requires a harddrive, Kickstart 3.1 and an AGA-Amiga with 4 MB Fast-RAM or an ECS-Amiga with 68020 processor and 6 MB RAM. Additional to a screen solution of 320x240, also a solution of 640x480 is supported which is meant for graphics card. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 28.
