  News from the MorphOS Team:


The MorphOS development team is proud to announce the public release of MorphOS 3.18! This new release includes several new applications such as Hex - a scriptable file/RAM/disk hex editor, ArchiveIt - a ZIP archiver/unarchiver application and Thermals - an app displaying thermal and fan information and graphs.


In addition, MorphOS 3.18 supports Samba 2 and 3 network share browsing and mounting in the Ambient desktop.


Radeon drivers have been updated to better support dual monitors, more graphics card models and 3D, including updated TinyGL library and drivers. We have also improved Realtek 8168 ethernet drivers with support for more card variants and enhanced networking stability on PCI express systems like PowerMac G5 11,2. USB input device connectivity issues on supported CyrusPlus 5040 systems have been corrected.


Many other system components and libraries have also been bugfixed and improved, including MUI, Netstack, Filesysbox.


For a more extensive overview of the changes included in MorphOS 3.18, please read our release notes.


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 3.18 is available for download in our files section.

AGuide Viewer is a reader for AmigaGuide documents implemented as a browser extension. It is tested with Firefox (Windows, Linux) and Chromium (Linux).

In principle, it should work with Chrome in developer mode, although I have not tried it.



This is the initial beta release. The reader is useful at this point, although I'm sure there are bugs to be found.

Hollywood Compile v1.1: Download (All versions)

Hollywood Compile: interface for OS3, OS4, MOS, and AROS that uses the Hollywood command to compile Hollywood scripts.

The script can be loaded or dragged to the GUI, then just select the platform and click Create Executable, the executables will be saved in the same location where the script resides, with the extensions: -68k, -os4, -mos and -aros.

As it happens ultimanently for many Multiplatform software, the various icons for each OS were created by me.

  A new version of WHDLoad has been released. It can be downloaded from the WHDLoad main page as usual.

Here are the changes:

Many Amiga fans started as Commodore 64 fans, so I hope you don't mind me posting about this here.

P.S. Jeff is also an Amiga fan, so if this C64 documentary does well, we might see him do one for the Miggy !

Along with the Commodore 64, Denise now in version 2.0 got the Amiga 500 and Amiga 1000 emulation!

It comes with an integrated Aros kick rom, similar to WinUAE.
But for a better experience, I recommend using the real one instead. (1.2 or 1.3)

For now, it only seems to support the .adf or ext.adf file extension. (so no .dms or .ipf support)

If we are talking about compatibility, it can be said that it is already quite compatible.
(but I don't mean to compare it with the far advanced WinUAE emulator)

I tested it a little bit mostly in A500 OCS & ECS 1.3 KS 512+512 configuration and found it pretty usable even in this early version as a basic A500 emulator.

So, what I tried it with was actually everything I used when testing previous versions of the WinUAE emulator.

So what I found to not work well for now:

Games:
Mission Elevator (1987)(Softgold).adf (Note: need OCS 1.2 512 to work) ... known sound problem that WinUAE also had in old versions!
Pinball Dreams (1992)(21st Century).adf ... only Beat-Box after loading won't to work! (but works fine in dual disc version)

Demos:
TEK-Rampage.adf ... some glitches on colored circles part!
Substance-Existance.adf ... after a while crashes the emulator!


Unfortunately, since it only reads .adf, that prevented me from testing it a little more seriously, but it wasn't bad either.

I can already say, if there is no other A500 emulator, I would not be dissatisfied.

Cheers!

Demos:

Substance-Existance.adf ... after a while crashes the emulator! EDIT: But only after a HARD reset! (if loaded on clean start A500 1.3 512+512, works fine with some glitches on vector objects)

JoingGUI v1.1

Author: Papiosaur (Yannick Buchy)


JoingGUI v1.1 for OS3/OS4/AROS/MOS: Download

JoingGUI, a small cross-platform program developed with Hollywood: A GUI for the Join command.

This interface uses the Join command included in your system. The interface
makes it easy to join multiple files in one big. For the moment, many formats have been attached successfully:


- ISO
- VOB
- MP3
- PNG (DualPNG icon)
- TXT

Other formats are probably compatible but not tested, if you know of any, please
let
me know.

The interface uses the Hollywood RapaGUI external module.
Other GUI are under study (FFMPEG, file conversion, etc.).
Don't hesitate to contact me if you want a specific project.

Thanks a lot to:
- MorphOS Team for MorphOS
- Andreas Falkenhahn for Hollywood and plugins
- Bernd Assenmacher for his code source to begin in Hollywood
- Beworld for his help
- jPV for his help
- AMIGASYSTEM for tests on others plateforms and for the icons
- Plouf for his help
- MorphOS french users for their encouragements ;-)

History

1.1 - add executable for AmigaOS4.x, AmigaOS3.x and AROS
- add icons realised by AMIGASYSTEM
- remove the filters for the files proposed by AMIGASYSTEM and Jedi

1.0 - first public release for MorphOS

Hi all,

The Amiga version of my game Tenebra is finally ready: https://h4plo.itch.io/tenebra

Tenebra is an atmospheric puzzle game with rogue-like aesthetics. Guide the hapless protagonist to the exit, but also keep in mind that he is afraid of darkness and refuses to walk in the dark areas.

Move torches around, push lights on rails, find keys to doors, light up cold braziers, pass through archways that collapse behind you, find oil barrels to make your torches brighter, squeeze through cracks in broken walls, fix broken rails with a hammer, illuminate the sensors to open the exits... do whatever it takes to get out of there!

It comes in two flavours; classic 8-bit looks (non-interlaced) and enhanced looks (interlaced).








I hope you will enjoy it!

Hey!
I'm introducing a new project: DPaint.js

DPaint.js is a web-based image editor with a focus on Amiga File Formats.
It can read/write all types of Amiga icons and read/write IFF images.

I mainly created it because I wanted a modern tool to create Amiga icons,
with a focus on color reduction and dithering to quickly transform modern images to old-school icons, and to directly edit files on ADF disks without spinning up an emulator.

It turned into a pretty nice pixel tool, with layers, masks, selections, effects, blend modes, ...

Available at https://www.stef.be/dpaint/
No download, it runs in your browser, free and open source.

There's a small demo video on the Amiga specific features on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj_tbgL3ubM

It's currently still in alpha-stage: bugs and missing features will be there.
Bug reports and feature requests are welcome.
