AROS: Weekly progresses (since 19.02.2018)
Last week's progress in development of the open-source AmigaOS clone AROS:
- Fixed/re-introduced i8259A legacy PIC support (neil)
- Bug fixes that allow ACPI support to be fully disabled when using the 'noacpi' boot option (neil)
- Allow PCI devices to be used again when ACPI is disabled (neil)
- Fixed a memory corruption bug when setting up IRQ routing table information for PCI (neil)
- Added a new boot option, 'noapic' (not to be confused with 'noacpi'), that disables modern APICs in favour of legacy i8259A PICs (e.g. in case APIC support doesn't work well on your PC). 'noapic' and 'noacpi' must be used together to have an effect (neil)
- Fixed a bug in APIC support that led to crashes during boot because the kernel's list of system call handlers was corrupted during IRQ initialisation. This fixes booting with ACPI disabled (neil)

Entwickler-X: Status update to jump'n run "Spencer"
On a1k.org Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus, member of Entwickler-X, has published a status update to the jump'n run game "Spencer" which currently is in development:
Technically and graphically the game has been completed except for little things. The next step will be level testing and some game play adjustments for controlling gaming fun and level of difficulty (spreading items, the setting of the enemies, recreating bad levels). The website now is online, but the trailer and the links to the shops still will have been added.
AmigaOS:
Substantial parts of the engine, Frank has written simultaneously to the PC version. Despite of that it will take a while until the game can be released. As usual, the little OS specific parts take up time: Optimizations of the graphics (Warp3D Nova/ OpenGLES), avoiding problems (shader incompatibilities), joypad and sound.
The developers also have to check if Warp3D Nova + OpenGLES2 officially work with Spencer. Since Frank has been communicating with Hans and Daniel, the driver includes software parts which the official version does not.
Entwickler-X are really pleased to finally have Spencer completed. The first 3D game actually was a challenge and has prepared the ground for future projects.
This video shows the complete level 5 of the game. Other (hopefully also AmigaOS specific) videos will follow!

Amiga in use; former city train simulator in Berlin-Marzahn
The "Berliner Kurier" has reported about a former city train simulator used in GDR times which after a modernization in 1990 was equipped with an Amiga 3000. It was used for displaying control signals in the rail videos. The system still is operational and can be visited after advance reservation. Currently donations are collected for modernizing the computers - the current system is worn and is not running stably.

Jump'n Run: Schütze Mike VS Zombie (demo)
"Schütze Mike VS Zombie" is a jump'n run shooter featuring nine levels in three different worlds created with Backbone. According to the author, the game can be played through within one to four hours. There are four different weapons and the story is told by presenting animated cut scenes. Additionally nine different and animated "kill sequences" show how the hero kills a zombie.
"Schütze Mike VS Zombie" requires an Amiga with 68020 processor and 4 MB RAM. About 90 percent of the development has been completed, among others the soundtrack is still missing. The author would be delighted at some testers. After finishing the development of the game it is supposed to be delivered for free as well as at cost price for a "boxed edition".

Emulator: Preview to WinUAE 3.6.1
As usual Toni Wilen, the developer of the well-known Amiga emulator WinUAE, presents a short preview to the changes of the next version. WinUAE 3.6.1 is supposed to be released in March and will provide the following improvements:
3.6.0 bugs fixed::
- Crash when running on first Windows 10 release version (build 10240).
- D3D11 mode fullscreen to/from windowed mode change crashes/blank screens.
- D3D11 mode on screen leds on the fly on/off switching.
- D3D11 mode screenshot via GUI button didn’t work.
- Floppy sound type selection was not loaded correctly from config file.
Older bugs fixed::
- Floppy sound used incorrectly empty drive volume level in certain situations.
- PPC emulation interrupt handling rewrite, fixes for example hang/crash problems with NE2000 based network adapters under OS4.
- Not all Advanced chipset options reset when compatible checkbox was ticked.
- Autoscale ignored small vertical display areas in very top of display in some situations.
- Fixed random crash when at least one Input panel custom event string was set, Restart was clicked and then emulation was started again.
- Blizzard SCSI Kit IV (possibly others) SCSI phase error in certain situations.
- Added better validation to clipboard sharing IFF parsing to prevent crashes if data is truncated.
- joyport2 -config entry incorrectly used port 3 slot.
New features:
- OCS/ECS only BPLCON2 with “illegal” PF1 or PF2 value is now accurately emulated in dual playfield mode.
- If selected D3D11 fullscreen refresh rate is “default”: prefer highest supported refresh rate.
- Optional threaded emulated RTG VRAM to host OS surface color space conversion/copy.
- Added “Identity” checkbox to Add harddrive panel. If ticked and ATA identity can be read (Direct IDE connection, compatible USB adapter): real ATA identity data is used in emulated ATA device instead of generic UAE generated and drive appears exactly as it does in real hardware (identical name, geometry etc).
- CHS-only IDE drives can now be mounted in emulation and they appear with real size and geometry when using USB adapters that allow identity read but does not support CHS (like common JMicron based adapters).
New emulated expansions:
- Elsat Mega Ram HD
- A.L.F.3

A500 accelerator board: Wicher 500i (Ex) supports SD cards
The accelerator boards of the Wicher 500i series are designed for internal use and now support SD cards, which are connected to the SPI bus of the Wicher boards. If you are going to use the SD card recommended by the developer, you have to remove some resistors in the Amiga.
A new version of the Wicher system software WicherInstall has been released as well: Version 1.6 provides the support of the SD cards.

Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.29
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser (including Odyssey).
Any kind of feedback the author Michael Rupp would very appreciate. He still is searching for support for the French translation. His work can be supported by a donation from inside TAWS.
Changes of version 0.29:
- Complete french localisation - many thanks to Claude 'Amiguy' Malter
- Boot animation in «OS 1.x»- and «OS 2.x» mode which can be halted with «Ctrl-D» to get a command prompt and resumed with «LoadWB». (example).
- OS 4.x window layout: implementation of the dots in the scrollbars. They are hidden if the bar gets too small.
- OS 4.x window layout: requester symbols are now preloaded.
- Skinning system: the files «CycleSel.png» and «CycleDis.png» are now optional. If they are missing, «Cycle.png» is used.
- Kickstart graphic: Version edited to fit OS 4.1 FE Update 1
- ListBox: the needed image files are now preloaded.
- Adjustment for OS 4.1 FE Update 1 on «Workbench / Version, Copyright ...»
-
Amiga Early Startup Control:
- Implementation of «Boot With No Startup-Sequence». Type «LoadWB» to resume booting.
- Reworked the layout to have it pixel-perfect with all browsers.

- new commands «NewCLI» and «NewShell» (excl. the parameters «window» and «from» for now)
- «Echo»: implemented support to output the version variables «$kickstart» und «$workbench».
-
Optimisations for OS 1.x:
- The fuelbar is now drawn after the rest of the window.
- Copying the content a disk by dragging the disk into a window is now prevented (this is only possible from OS 2.0 and above).
- Outputting the correct message when trying to duplicate the RAM-Disk: «This disk cannot be copied»
- Implementation of some special case in OS 1.2: if a file is moved within the RAM-Disk but does already exist in the destination drawer, the existing file is overwritten without notice or anything.
-
Bugfixes:
- The list of volumes in «Workbench / Open volume» is re-sorted after a volume has been renamed.
- Rename the drawer «System» now works.

- Internet Explorer and MS Edge: Das Rename-Fenster wird nun bei der Eingabe von «a» nicht mehr geschlossen, falls der Cursor noch im Textfeld liegt.
- AmigaShell (all browsers except Firefox): correction of the clipping when making the window smaller.
- Amiga Early Startup Control: «Display Options», «Use» and «Display Options» onc more: the selection was lost.

AmigaOS 4: Blitzbasic replacement BlitzMax
BlitzMax is one of the replacements of Mark Sibly's BASIC dialect BlitzBasic, which among others allows object oriented programming and adapts the graphic API to OpenGL. The source code of BlitzMax was released in April 2014. Now an Amiga user has ported the compiler to AmigaOS 4.
Graphic support for Max2d with MiniGL as well as Audio driver and networking support are already implemented. Support for joysticks and MaxGUI still is missing.
BlitzMax requires an installed AmigaOS-SDK. The compiler has to be built up from the sources by the users themselves.
The author has pointed out that this is the "first Amgia contribution". He also wrote: "The level of effort was considerable as the back-end of PPC compiler had to be re-coded correctly for System V ABI vs the original Apple OSX ABI. AmigaOS applicable defines where required in Build system and Runtime but seems to be working well. I appreciate all feedback good and bad."

AmigaOS 4: EGL to OpenGL ES 2.0 wrapper (beta 2), testers wanted
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel is working on a EGL to OpenGL ES 2.0 wrapper based on the Warp 3D Nova/OpenGL ES 2.0 combination sold by A-EON which is supposed to simplify and enable porting modern OpenGL-based games (Youtube video).
Nouvel offers a beta version of his port for download. Currently only beta testers of the next version of A-EON's Enhancer package can use it.
According to Nouvel his library supports "virtually all functions of opengles.library". His port provides mainly the following features:
- Full keyboard support
- The window mode and full screen mode
- GUI reaction options:
- Limit fps
- Frame rate display function
- Selection Screen depth
- VSync
- PNG Image natively with alpha
- Uncompressed TGA image with alpha
- Planned: MiniGlutES
- Planned: Sound Effects via datatype
Update (15.02.18, 15:00, cg)
Unlike originally reported here, Nouvel is not offering an OpenGL ES to NOVA wrapper, but an EGL to OpenGL ES wrapper. We apologize for the misunderstanding. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Collective purchase order: Motherboard, network card, 68030 accelerator board
Amy-ITX is an Amiga motherboard in standard ITX form factor. The board has to be equipped with the usual Amiga custom chips, offers two Zorro slots (DMA is only supported on one of the slots) and is compatible to accelerator boards like the Vampire 500, which are directly plugged in the processor socket.
For this motherboard now - after a test run with only 25 produced pieces in 2017 - a first and according to the developer singular public production run will be started. For 65 Euro each interested user will get a bare motherboard, a bare daughterboard which will take the CHIP-RAM, a detailed list of the required components as well as a instruction for assembling the computer. If you are not able to program the ICs you can order three preprogrammed ICs for additional 25 Euro. Official support is not offered, it is referred to the growing [Amy-ITX-]community.
The same developers also offers two extensions, developed for Amy-ITX but should also work on different Amigas with Zorro or m68k processor socket. They also are bare boards which have to be equipped by the puchasers:
For 35 Euro a 10Mbit network card for Zorro slots is available which is based on the same network chip like the well-known Ariadne (RTL8019) and is compatible with the original drivers of the VillageTronic.
An accelerator board with 68030 processor, 6 MB Fast RAM and an IDE bus is available for 55 Euro. The board is plugged into the processor socket of the 680000 and should be also compatible to the Amiga models 500, 1000 and 2000. According to the developers it is an "extremely optimized 030-based accelerator" which "outperforms every single Amiga accelerator in the category".
The components required for the projects have to be organized and collected by the users themselves. For the moment you can register your interest. This registration still is not binding. Some weeks later all interested users will be contacted and get the option to place an official order and to pay the money in advance.

AmigaOS 4: Support for Polaris graphic cards (Enhancer Software)
Under the title link Matthew Leaman of A-EON Technology wrote that for the AmigaOS-4 extension "Enhancer Software" he guess the support for graphic cards equipped with AMD's Polaris chip set will be added.
This is also due to the Southern-Islands chipset cards of which only the variant of the Oland-based R7 240 was sold on the market.

ADF tool: TOSEC Checker 0.1
Steffest writes: With all the disk-imaging going on the past weeks with the Bamiga Sector One collection and others, we made a simple and accessible tool to quickly check if your freshly made ADF file is already in the TOSEC (The Old School Emulation Center) database or not.
Of course there already tools that do that, but they involve installing obscure software and hunting down and installing tons of database files. TOSEC Checker instead is a simple web-based tool: nothing to install. You drag a bunch of ADF files on the page and it tells you quickly if your disks are already in TOSEC or not.
As an added bonus you can click on a disk to browse it, view files in ASCII and hex and download files straight from the ADF image. It's like a TOSEC-enabled mini ADF Opus in your browser!
The tool is open source. We are open to any suggestions to improve it. - Enjoy! (snx)

Event: Reports and pictures from the Amiga Ireland Meetup 3.0
On 19. and 20. January the third meeting of the Amiga Users Ireland took place in Athlone. Trevor Dickinson (A-EON Technology) and David Pleasance (Commodore UK) attended the meeting and Mr. Dickinson interviewed Mr. Pleasance.
In this interview (video) the former Commodore manager - from about minute 34 - also talked about his engagement for the operating system "Friend" (amiga-news.de reported). After Hogne Titlestad in his open letter talked about native hardware in general, at the Amiga Ireland Meetup David Pleasance did speculate about a Raspberry-Pi-based "CD 1200" for Friend and a corresponding Kickstarter project.
Reports and further videos:

Amiga motherboard in ITX form factor: Amy ITX
Already for some years "Amy", which is an Amiga motherboard in standard ITX form factor (170x170 mm), is developed. The board has to be equipped with the Amiga-Custom-Chips, offers two Zorro slots (DMA is supported on one of the slots) and is compatible with accelerator boards like the Vampire 500, which are directly plugged in the processor socket.
According to the developers the project has been almost finished and works without any problems. So far 25 boards have been produced which were delivered to testers and enthusiats. If the project should be successfully finished a second production run is possible - if there is sufficient interest.

- JIT Direct is allowed in CyberStorm PPC configuration but it also disables CSPPC MAP ROM hardware feature

Text editor featuring Kickstart-1.2 compatibility: Redit 1.16
Kai Scherrer's text editor Redit works without any limitations on an Amiga equipped with Kickstart 1.2, but also is fully compatible with higher versions of the system. The editor can be also launched from an emergancy disk or used after booting without startup-sequence. In version 1.16 some minor bugs have been fixed:
- bugfix: a multiple line undo was not drawn properly. fixed
- bugfix: the displayed amount of occurrences of a find & replace
operation was always 0. fixed
- improved: Redit is now using INTUITICKS only when required, which
decreases the CPU usage with an idle, active window
- bugfix: in CLI mode an error code was never returned. fixed

Development: Hollywood APK Compiler 2.1
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the Hollywood APK Compiler 2.1. This version adds support for Android Studio 3.0 and makes the conversion of Hollywood applets into APKs even easier by erasing the direct dependencies on the Java Development Kit (JDK) and Gradle. Instead, the JDK and Gradle versions that are shipped with Android Studio are used now. So Android Studio is the only thing that is required by the Hollywood APK Compiler now.
Note that version 2.1 requires at least Android Studio 3.0 so existing users should only upgrade to this version if they also want to upgrade their Android Studio version. Keep in mind, though, that Google dropped support for older Android versions in Android Studio 3.0 so all APKs compiled by the Hollywood APK Compiler will require at least Android 4.0. If you still need to target Android 2.3, don't upgrade to the latest version of Android Studio and the APK Compiler. Finally, also note that version 2.1 is no longer compatible with 32-bit systems. It requires a 64-bit Windows so 32-bit users should also keep their old versions.
Version 2.1 of the Hollywood APK Compiler is now available for free download from the restricted download area for all existing Hollywood APK Compiler users.
