AmigaOS 4 News – December 2023

Hi,

Many thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂

As I write this (December 30th), we’re approaching the end of 2023. It’s been a year with a lot of activity in the AmigaOS 4 community. Some people seems to claim the AmigaOS 4 scene is dead and that not much is happening. Is that so?

If we take a look back at everything that has happened this year, I don’t think one can say that the platform is dead. We’ve got three different hardware options in the form of the X5040, the Sam460LE, and now the A1222 Plus. We’ve had plenty of software developments, as well as many ports of games and programs. Not forgetting all the progress that is being made with the Enhancer package from A-EON Technology!

Last, but not least, think about QEMU and all the extra firepower it is bringing us! We see new users coming on stage, helping with porting software, testing software, developing, participating in discussions, and much more. I for one am positive about what 2024 can bring, that’s for sure. 😉

One would think that December would be a bit more quiet during the rest of the year, but this month has brought us a lot of interesting stuff. 🙂

I’d like to take the opportunity to send out a big thank you to all developers, users, enthusiasts, gamers, retailers and others in the AmigaOS 4 community for a great 2023! Happy new year everyone!

Without further ado, let’s get on with this month’s monthly roundup!

Software News

Juan Carlos Herran Martin released version 4.0 of Pintor Web, which is a program you can use to edit pictures when making websites.

The new edition has been compiled with the latest Hollywood version (10.0). It has a new PDF manual with 12 MB of examples and tips, as well as new visual effects.

He also released version 2.0 of Font Tester. With this utility, you can check the appearance a font has when matched with backgrounds, pictures, or how it looks in your Hollywood projects.

Besides this, Juan Carlos Herran Martin has updated iConecta to version 5.20. This is a utility you can use to test your Internet connection. The latest release contains a new skin (Cyborg) and new fonts. Bugs have also been fixed.

AstralGame is also a creation by Juan Carlos Herran Martin. With this program, you can discover Astral, Chinese, and other zodiac signs, your personal magic number, events, holidays, and more. The new version, 4.10, fixes a problem with a missing button.

Bernd Assenmacher has released version 2.4 of the Image2PDF utility. With this tool, you can convert PNG- or JPG files to PDF. The author labels it as “EmailWare”, so please send him an e-mail if you use the program. 🙂 The new version contains a lot of new functions, an updated guide, and cosmetic changes to the GUI. For a full overview, please have a look here.

It’s been quite a while since I last played the classic game Rick Dangerous from Core Design. I remember it very well from my Amiga 500 days in the 1990s but have only played it from time to time since then. If you’d like to enjoy Rick Dangerous on AmigaOS 4, I’ve got some good news. An SDL 2 port of the game was ported in December!

This clone of Rick Dangerous is called xrick, made by carefully reverse-engineering the PC and Atari version of the game, and re-coding it in C. The author of xrick is Stephan aka ZpqrtBnk. The original author is Simon Phipps. The people responsible for porting it to AmigaOS 4 are Javier (Jabirulo) and Marek (smarkusg). Thanks so much, guys!

If you want to have a look for yourself, you can download it here. Read more about it on GitHub. There is also a thread on Amigans.net with discussions about the port. Hope you’ll check out the game and that you will enjoy it! It is certainly a blast from the past.

AmigaGPT is a text generation program that runs on the classic AmigaOS and AmigaOS 4. Utilizing the power of OpenAI’s GPT-3 and GPT-4 architectures, this program provides state-of-the-art language modeling.

Features:

• Generates text based on input prompts

• UI customization

• Full conversation history

• Text-to-speech

For speech on AmigaOS 4, you’ll need Flite Device (http://aminet.net/package/mus/misc/flite_device).

The changelog for version 1.3.1 is as follows:

• Fix pasting into chat input textbox (AmigaOS 3.2 and 4.1 only for now)

• Remove trailing newline from user messages

• Enclose all user lines in asterisks to make bold

• Fixed a memory leak that was present in downloading responses from OpenAI

Version 6.1 of FFmpeg was released at the beginning of December by MickJT. FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter that can also be grabbed from a live audio and video source. It can convert between arbitrary sample rates and resize video on the fly with a high-quality polyphase filter.

Speaking of FFmpeg, Kevin Taddeucci (ktadd) released version 3.5 of the GUI for this program, so you should get this one as well if you want to use FFmpeg. It supports some basic options via the GUI and allows the user to add additional options via a command line string gadget.

IRA, MC68000/10/20/30/40 reassembler, version 2.10 is out. It contains several bug fixes, but also new features.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed parsing of HUNK_RELOC32SHORT/HUNK_DREL32.

• Renamed itoa() to avoid conflicts with compilers providing that function.

• Binary option always overrides the automatic format detection.

• Fixed detection of memory rotate instructions.

• Instructions with 32-bit absolute addressing, but with a relocation that extends into the following instruction, cannot be valid.

• Fixed ROMTag detection with a NULL-pointer for the Init-code.

New features:

• Supports HUNK_RELRELOC32 and EXT_RELREF32 in executables and object files. But cannot create labels for such references at this time.

You can download the archive from OS4Depot.

An update has been made to the AmigaOS 4 version of Worm Wars, a freeware arcade game by James Jacobs of Amigan Software. Version 9.34 is available for download here.

NallePuh (Swedish for Winnie-the-Pooh), a program to emulate the Paula chip from classic Amiga, has been updated thanks to the work of Damien Stewart and Kjetil Hvalstrand. After 13 years without updates, they found out it was time to dust it off and get it working again. Version 1.8 was released in December.

• Updated translation for Italian.

• Updated translation for Norwegian.

• Bug fixed: logPUH() maybe it can cause ISI error. (So rewritten to make it safer under forbid state and now use DebugPrintF to log output instead, of ugly callback hook. requester used if in GUI mode. text printed in the console if not.)

• Puh.c: Improved audio validation, (to prevent playback of bad data.)

• Puh.c: clean code style.

• Package change, tooltype settings disabled as default.

• Reorganized lots of arrays into one array. (to reduce indexing)

Please click here to download the NallePuh version 1.8.

Hollywood developers will be happy to hear that some plugins have been updated. The one for APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics) animations has reached version 1.3, while Plananarama (allows Hollywood to run on planar palette screens) has reached version 2.2. More information is available on the website of Hollywood.

In previous reports, I’ve written about Seq, a MIDI sequencer, by Tuomas Hokka. A new update is out with the following changes:

2.9 (10th December 2023):

• FIXED note playback: A note was not released correctly always

• FIXED setting some values in Base Note window

• FIXED saving Base Note Shift enabled/disabled, that value was never saved

• FIXED saving Base Note Shift Splitter value, that value was never saved

• Splitted Base Note Shift Splitter to separate note and octave values

• Disable all base note selections holding CTRL down while clicking any of the mute buttons

SimpleSub is a program by Kevin Taddeucci (ktadd) for creating and editing .srt format subtitle files. It can also encode the subtitles onto the video using mencoder. It supports a “Preview” mode that allows full control of MPlayer with its on-screen display showing the current time for determining display time for subtitles. The editor supports full keyboard control and auto-time formatting for ease of entry. SimpleSub also supports “Title Settings” such as font selection, position, size, blur, and outline. Version 2.0 has been released and has a ton of changes, which you can read all about here.

Michael Trebilcock has released YT (YouTube URL Extractor script) version 2.5. YT.rexx is a script for providing direct video & audio links from YouTube URLs, and the ability to stream them within MPlayer. Just provide a URL and it will display all of the available video links found and let you play them.

2.5 – 13th Dec 2023:

• Increased stack size for DukTape

• Fixed issue with some live streams

• Updated bundled cURL to 8.2.0 (using AmiSSL)

• Fixed issue creating T:YT/ on some systems

• Added command line option ANDROID. Shows more stream-mapped options for some videos. Very short expiry on links.

CompressionOS4 is a PDF generator by Achim Pankalla which is nearly working with WYSIWYG. The program is still in early development, but version 0.20 was released in the middle of December. There have been several improvements and fixes since 0.10. You can read more about it on OS4Depot.

Kas1e has released version 0.9 of WB2Filer. WB2Filer is a hack that patches Intuition’s functions via SetMethod() to allow transparently run of the Filer binary pointing to the given partition on Workbench’s desktop instead of the original Workbench windows.

Snes9X NG is being developed by the well-known programmer HunoPPC, who has ported many games to the platform in the past. He also works on Doom 3 for AmigaOS 4. Version 1.62.3 of Snes9X NG is available for download at OS4Depot. The archive is 63 MB.

Here are the changes for the new version:

• New Snes9x engine version 1.62.3

• New concept of GUI version 1.0.5

• New all supports for Roms

• Added Roms SuperFX on GUI with special Icon

• Added native overscan

New prefs:

• OverclockCPU (speedup SNES CPU to 10/20%)
• vsync (limit to 60 fps with low CPU usage)
• Displaytime (activate on screen a time)
• SuperFXoverclock (Overclocking SuperFX GSU-1 and GSU-2 to maximum 100Mhz, by default is 80Mhz)

• Fixed auto frameskip command line on GUI

• Added automatic renderer adjustment on all supported SNES resolution

• Fixed load/save savestate, now speedup with this new engine

The last version of Snes9X NG was released back in 2017. It is fantastic that HunoPPC is now back with a brand new version for us to try in 2023!

On December 22nd, a new version (3.0a) of IBrowse was released. At the same time, AmiSSL 5.13 became available.

Here is the full news from the official IBrowse website:

Merry Christmas and Season’s Greetings to all our IBrowse 3 users. We hope you’ve been just as happy as the IBrowse 3 release last month as we have been. Although things have gone pretty smoothly, there were a couple of issues that slipped through the net, which we have remedied today with the release of IBrowse 3.0a. This includes one critical fix for a bug in the HTTP(S) module which could trash memory, resulting in either instant crashes or seemingly random crashes at a later stage, sometimes in different applications. For this reason, we are recommending that all users update their IBrowse 3.0 installation using the supplied installation utility. See the History log page for full details of the changes in this update.

This update is free for registered IBrowse 3 users. The prices for registering IBrowse 3 are up to 35% off the previous IBrowse 2.5 prices – please take your time to try IBrowse 3 before purchasing, as we are not planning to withdraw this offer at this time.

Today also sees the release of AmiSSL 5.13, marking the arrival of OpenSSL 3.2 to AmigaOS for the first time. IBrowse 3.0a will continue to work with AmiSSL 5.12, but will also work fine with AmiSSL 5.13, so you are free to update it at any time. See the details on the changes made in AmiSSL 5.13.

If you’re interested in purchasing IBrowse, you can find all the information here.

A new version (1.5) of the video player MPlayer has been released! MPlayer can play most standard video formats out of the box, as well as almost all others with the help of external codecs.

Here is the news by Samo79 as posted on Amigans.net:

After several months of development we are pleased to present the first public release candidate of MPlayer 1.5 … the initial aim of the project was to try implementing support for va.library (VAAPI) providing hardware video decoding and of possibly reunify all the main features of the previous scattered releases, from the ancient one from Andrea, up to the most recent versions from LiveForIt and MickJT.

As often happens in projects of this size, things then evolved a little differently, the various features were now unified, making our version certainly the most complete (yes, no more different versions to download to choose which one to use based on your needs) but the video acceleration project has currently been postponed for a later date!

However, this gave us time to implement a lot of new features and solve a large number of bugs that had accumulated over the years, as well as obviously allowing us to merge with the latest SVN version of the main branch of MPlayer and FFmpeg 6.0.

There are many people to thank, Javier de las Rivas for the bulk of the work on the code and for his enormous patience in solving a massive number of bugs, Marek for managing the collection of new changes, as well as for having implemented some code himself (I am thinking of the iconification function for example), to MickJT for several fixes and obviously for providing us his updated code, to Joerg for his newest Amiga video driver based to p96, to Guillaume Boesel for the implementation of the MenuClass, for the AISS icons in the menus and other small graphically appealing things, to Mason for the iconsets and the banner and finally in small way also me to managed the project by put the various piece toghter, making small corrections here and there, minor changes to the source, added new video/audio formats into the EXPATTERN and finally the re-implementation of the AmiUpdate support. I learned a lot from you all, thank you guys!

The archive is currently available in the upload section of os4depot, download it while it’s hot!

Trixie has released a new version of the AmigaOS 4 port of Protrekkr, a powerful multi-platform music tracker created by Franck “hitchhikr” Charlet.

Please read on for more information from Trixie. The source is Amigans.net.

As a Christmas present to all AmigaOS4 users, I have just released a new OS4 port of Protrekkr, a powerful multi-platform music tracker written by Franck ‘hitchhikr’ Charlet. With its superb features that include software synthesis, Roland TB-303 emulation, and numerous effects, Protrekkr is by far the most capable tracker ever available on an Amiga platform. The release comes with almost 50 example songs (modules) to show what the program can do.

This new AmigaOS4 port is special in that it allows further configuration via tooltypes in the program icon. These additional settings allow tweaking the GUI to make Protrekker more usable in large-screen resolutions.

Find the program on OS4depot.net (currently in the Uploads queue) and enjoy!

AmiArcadia by James Jacobs has been updated to version 30.72. Here is a summary of the of the changes:

• CD2650: added printer emulation.

• Miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes.

More detailed information can be found here.

JSON-C, a C library for processing JSON, has reached version 0.17. More information about the new features, changes, and bug fixes are available here.

AAMP offers a development environment on your Amiga, with which you can create and test your own web projects. Similar to the well-known XAMPP package for Linux and Windows, it contains the HTTP (web) server “Apache” with compiled-in support for the scripting language “PHP” (version 8.0.28 and 5.2.10) and the database server “MySQL” version 5.5.10. AAMP is not only interesting for developers. This means that web applications can also be run locally on the Amiga. These are e.g. the database administrator “phpMyAdmin” or the image manager “Coppermine” – just to name a few.

You can create your own tools with the included “php” interpreter. “PHP” is easy to learn and with its extensions a powerful language.

Last but not least, data can be managed with the “MySQL” database server, which can then also be accessed via the network. External programs (e.g. IODBC) can use this server as a database backend.

New in AAMP 2.1:

• The “AAMP-Control” tool is now available for the central administration of all servers and settings. In addition to Apache and MySQL, it can also be used to manage the PHP development server and the Subversion server “svnserve”. The scripts “Start_AAMP.bat” and “Stop_AAMP.bat” are now obsolete and no longer included.

• All other start and stop scripts are still included, but the use of “AAMP-Control” is recommended.

• Update of the Apache web server from version 2.2.11 to version 2.2.34.

• The configuration of the Apache SSL module is now complete and working. So that clients can work with it without problems, there is a selection of CA root certificate collections in the Contrib folder, which also contains the server’s certificate. Simply replace the required file of the client or browser.

• The package now also includes a complete package of “phpMyAdmin” in version 5.0.4. This has been patched for better compatibility with PHP 8 and is already preconfigured. The package will be installed automatically during the installation of AAMP.

• Optimized autostart at system start or when starting “AAMP-Control”.

• Update of the CA root certificates (Mozilla certificates as of 20.11.2023).

• The default WebDAV directory is now “AAMP:Apache/uploads” and no longer “AAMP:Apache/htdocs/dav”.

• The Subversion package has been recompiled using the new Apache 2.2.34 libraries.

• Various bug fixes.

George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero has released a new version of aiostreams, as well as a website connected to the project. You can read the full news from him here:

For more than 3 years, I devoted a lot of time working on the aiostreams package for the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, making online video and audio streaming easier for the user, especially for websites that are resources hungry like YouTube and Twitch. Those websites need a lot of power and a strong web browser to work, which plenty of times the AmigaNG systems do not have. So I created a few Python scripts, which can also be used on other systems like Linux and MacOS.

The last couple of days, I was working to resolve some issues and make the YouTube support more reliable. As a companion to these scripts, I set up an online website at https://aiostreams.amiga-projects.net, which is useful to find content. For some time now, there is support for discovering streams from the Twitch.tv website, but I always wanted to add more content in there.

So today I uploaded the newer version, which brings the YouTube content to the users who can find the trending videos based on 4 different categories (Music, News, Gaming and Movies) and specific regions, search for channels and videos based on a description, and find the videos of a specific channel.

The website works as a proxy to YouTube and when something is available on YouTube it will be available on mine as well. To retrieve the lists and videos information, I am using Invidious API which is also an alternative frontend of YouTube. Of course, my website targets browsers who do not support CSS and the JS support is limited. That’s why there is no Javascript code included, no CSS is needed and that makes it work perfectly on IBrowse. Which also means there is no tracking of your activity at all.

If you use the video URLs that you can see in the https://aiostreams.amiga-projects.net with the aiostreams scripts, you can have video playing back on your system in seconds.

I also released a new version of aiostreams scripts, with some fixes and changes. You can find the new version at my GitHub repository and soon on the Aminet and the OS4Depot.

Hope these new features will help every user to have a great time with their Amiga.

Excellent work by George Sokianos! 🙂

Woof is a continuation of Lee Killough’s port of Doom. Changes since 1.397 are as follows:

• Added versioning to the SDL window

• Transient assigns of ETC and USR to avoid requests caused due to soft-openal if ETC/USR are not assigned (caused due to soft-openal) (reported by jabierdlr)

Some may wonder why they chose the name Woof. Here is an explanation taken from the GitHub page of the project:

“If you turn the Doom logo upside down it reads “Wood” – which would be a pretty stupid name for a source port. “Woof” is just as stupid a name for a source port, but at least it contains a reference to dogs – and dogs are the Marine’s Best Friend.”

NetSurf 3.11 has been released! According to amiga-news.de, the following changes were made specifically for the Amiga port:

• Added page theme option.

• Improved handling of bitmaps.

• Improved and optimized handling of Unicode.

• Stability improvements.

It’s great to see that the development of NetSurf continues. Have had a lot of use for this browser on the Sam Flex. It was fast, but also quite compatible with many websites out there. Very happy to see a new version out in the wild!

On December 29th, George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero released version 2.1.2 of Lite XL. He stated that it was released for every system by the official development team as they usually do after Christmas. Sokianos therefore thought it was the perfect time for a new AmigaOS 4 version as well. You can find more information about the newest Lite XL on his Ko-fi page:

https://ko-fi.com/post/Lite-XL-2-1-2r1-released-B0B1SQ17X

In a video on YouTube, Entwickler-X showed upcoming games for AmigaOS 4 running on an AmigaOne X1000. The first one was Radon Break, which belongs to the bat’n’ball genre. The other one was M.A.C.E. Remastered (Warp3D Nova). Both games look brilliant, so looking forward to playing these when they are released! You can watch the video below:

In the second half of December, QEMU 8.2.0 became available. This release contains 3200+ commits from 238 authors. With QEMU you can emulate a full computer, such as an AmigaOne XE, Sam460ex or a Pegasos II. To be able to do this, you’ll need the official AmigaOS 4 for AmigaOne, Sam460ex, or Pegasos II. Behind the Amiga support is Zoltan Balaton, and you can find more information about his BBoot bootloader (for running AmigaOne) and QEMU project here. Speaking of which, a new version of the BBoot (version 0.5) was released on December 3rd. Maijestro, who has his own YouTube channel and does a lot of testing with QEMU, has released a video of it in action.

ScummVM 2.8.0 is out for AmigaOS 4! Thanks to Raziel for his work porting it! It contains a lot of improvements and support for new games, such as Muppet Treasure Island, The Dark Eye, Might and Magic Book One, Dark Side, and The Vampire Diaries. A full list of changes is available here:

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/misc/scummvm.lha

Looking forward to test some of the new games listed! 🙂

That was all the software news for this time. Let us move on to the next section!

Miscellaneous

Trevor Dickinson of A-EON Technology has made a new post on his blog entitled “Christmas Present”. Here he looks back at the events and developments in 2023. The upcoming A600GS from AmigaKit is mentioned, as well as the long-awaited A1222 Plus. Also, which I found very interesting, was a picture of an Amiga 1222 Plus box! I’ve included it below here.

Hope Trevor does not mind that I included it here. 🙂

Anyway, here is the link to the blog post:

TJ Ferreira is back with another video featuring his AmigaOne X5000. This time he’s installed a new graphics card in his computer! You’ll get to see him testing the old one (Radeon HD7750) and then comparing it to the new one (Radeon RX580). TJ is very active on YouTube and you can find his channel here.

Mufa has created a video showing Wipeout 2097 running on his AmigaOne.

Helge Kvalheim, an Amiga user from Norway, creates a lot of music on his AmigaOne X5000. He has his own YouTube channel and there you can find songs from him. You can visit his channel here. In December he uploaded several videos containing music.

On Amigans.net, we’ve had another game competition (it is still going on as I write this).

The game we’ve been playing is the new port of Rick Dangerous. At the moment, VooDoo is in the lead, with Antique in second place, and mcleppa in third. Time will show who is victorious in the end! The competition ends night to January 1st. 🙂 Good luck to everyone partcipating!

Andy Broad a.k.a Broadblues has released his traditional X-Mas card, sketched in SketchBlock, captured with SRec at 1080p and edited in Blender. All on the AmigaOne X1000!

Until next time
