Low End Mac is a well known site among the enthusiasts of older Apple hardware. MorphOS just got a little bit of coverage on the site thanks to Sebastian Patting's article which sheds a little light at the history of MorphOS and explains why it can be of interest to people still using their old PowerPC machines.

Sirena AHIW is an easy program to handle your pictures to use on your web pages projects or you need a fast and easy tool to edit them. It was created with Hollywood 5 for Amiga OS3.5-3.9, AmigaOS 4.x., MorphOS 2.7 and Windows XP-Vista-7.

New features are: Drop files supported, ESC key presses are checked. Corrected some bugs and improved useability.

The 3.x version has been also ported for Blender 2.5x, but not integrated in bitbucket.org yet.

Check Download tab for binaries distributions.

Python is a shared MorphOS library.

An update of the AVCodec plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity has just been released. This update fixes some problems with WMV video files. A new feature is that the plugin now establishes a gateway to Hollywood's sound stream interface so that Hollywood can now play audio files supported by the FFMPEG codec collection as well, for example M4A/AAC (used by iTunes). This is especially useful on systems like AROS and Linux because Hollywood doesn't support MP3 playback on these platforms by default.

You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5.0's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel) and Windows are provided.

Philippe Rimauro aka OffseT released a new version of ACE, a CPC old generation emulator (no Plus support). It try to emulate the PSG of the CPC perfectly. The emulator was also written from scratch, so it isn’t just a port of an existing open source CPC emulator. Don’t hesitate and download it from the ACE homepage:

We have gathered user feedback after releasing DigiRoller 1.1, the player and renderer of DigiBooster 3 and DigiBoosterPro 2.x music modules. The new, 1.2 version has most of suggested features implemented and a reported bug fixed. The program is also translated to Spanish now. Read more for list of changes.

Once there were two computer clubs. The APC and the TCP. 20 years back (if anyone knows the exact date, please report), these two computer clubs joined together. Within a very short period of time, APC & TCP computer club, with nearly 500 members, grew up to one of the biggest Amiga clubs in Germany. APC&TCP then brought out one of the most common Amiga floppy magazines. The Amiga Fire and the follower Nocover. Since many programmers were a member, it was easy to distribute own software. To this end, in May 1992, the APC&TCP-distribution founded a trade partnership (Gbr.).

The English and German issue 96 (May/June 2012) of the print magazine Amiga Future has been distributed today, and can also be ordered directly from the editorial office of Amiga Future, and the other Amiga dealers that stock the magazine.

From the issue 94 the Amiga Future magazines will be printed in full colour.

DigiRoller is a standalone replayer for DigiBooster Pro 2.x and DigiBooster 3 music modules. Version 1.1 contains the latest replayer engine featuring AHI-independent DSP echo effect. It is backward compatible with old echo ("V", "W", "X", "Y" and "Z" commands are fully supported), but the effect is processed inside the engine, so it is always active. Echo in AHI may be safely turned off. Additional feature of the new echo (which will be used in DigiBooster 3) is a new echo mode (command "V2"), where each track can have independent echo parameters. Another new feature is phase assisted stereo panoraming. Positioning instruments with not only amplitude, but also small phase shifts improves the music experience.

DigiRoller 1.1 includes other improvements in the replayer as well: working sample offsets (commands "9" and "E7") and fixes to "B" and "D" commands. DigiRoller is a free program and may be downloaded from the DigiBooster site http://www.digiboosterpro.de .

Jack 3.1 is now available for immediate download for all Amiga-like operating systems. Non-AmigaOS 4 users should read the notes outlined below.

For the time-being Jack can only be downloaded from OS4Depot.net. Installation and executables or all Amiga-like operating systems are included in the distribution.

The multitrack audio application Audio Evolution 4 has now been released as freeware! After the freeware AmigaOS4 and AROS versions, it's now finally time for the MorphOS version! You can download it for free from here:

AE4freeMorphOS.lha

or from the Purchase section of the Audio Evolution website. I hope you will enjoy it! The source code will be released later. For more information on Audio Evolution for Android, Windows and OSX, please visit http://www.audio-evolution.com. The Android version can actually read AE4 projects too, but might require some hand editing of project files to take out hardcoded paths.

Airsoft Softwair has just released a very special Easter egg for all Hollywood users: A Hollywood plugin for videos created with Gold Disk's famous MovieSetter tool. Movie Setter is renowned in the Amiga community because it is the tool which Eric W. Schwartz used to create his legendary clips like the Aerotoons, Flip the Frog and Clarisse Cat, Sabrina, the intro of Team17's Superfrog, the very funny Anti Lemmin' Demo, and of course the Juggette clips.

The CoolCow program is a small utility for those interested in distributed.net contests of number crunching. While the distributed.net client runs in the background, it still fully loads the CPU. This stresses a cooling system, which is especially hearable in Macs mini or PowerBooks. CoolCow reduces processor heating (at a cost of lowered client throughput) by periodically switching dnetc client off and on. The duty cycle is adjustable via small GUI. CoolCow is released with source code on BSD license and is available for download in our download section.

Alaska Kanada West Multimedia travel guide. A complete package is now available for MorphOS. The multimedia travel guide is only available in german language. The guide runs smooth with all sound and graphic features under MorphOS 2.7.

A new plugin for Hollywood has been released today: The XML Parser plugin allows Hollywood scripts to parse XML files easily and efficiently. This finally allows Hollywood users to make use of this extremely flexible universal markup language that can be used for so many purposes. The plugin needs to be installed into LIBS:Hollywood but the included installer will take care of that automatically. Once the plugin has been installed successfully, a new user library should show up in the plugin.api tab in the Hollywood GUI. This plugin is based on libexpat and luaexpat.

You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5.0's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel) and Windows are provided.

SpotUp writes. "There has been a fair amount of talk recently about unity and co-operation between all of the Amiga camps (OS3, OS4, AROS and MorphOS). Many of us are tired of the divisions that cause many arguments and slow down progess. What we'd like to see is more co-operation between developers and users, just like we had in the good old days...

AmigaOS 4.x & MorphOS community we have listened to your feedback and are now seeking additional resources for DiscreetFX Labs to develop Aladdin 4D 6.0 for AmigaOS 4.x & MorphOS. You stated it was taking too long and we should not work on the OS X Lion version first so we are talking your feedback to heart. We are looking for one Amiga and MorphOS programmer proficient in C. No naughty Windows, Mac or Linux skills required, your time will be spent 100% working on coding what you love, AmigaOS 4.x & MorphOS!

In order to make the editing capabilities of our MorphOS Library more accessible, all existing MorphZone users who have made 50 or more posts in our forums should have received an email detailing how they can log in to the Library and start editing content.

If you are not interested to participate, feel free to ignore the email. If, on the other hand, you would like to share your knowledge with others, please do not hesitate to do so. Thank you and happy editing.

Amigan Software are proud to announce that the CodeWar simulator, already available for Linux and Windows, has been ported to AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS. An AmigaOS 4 version is imminent.

CodeWar is essentially a simulation engine which allows multiple processes to execute simultaneously within the same virtual environment. This in turn provides programmers with the facilities to compete against one another by seeing who can write the program which exists the longest within this environment. Unlike other simulators such as CRobots, the competing robots are real native programs and may thus be written in any language.

Less formally, CodeWar allows programmers to create programs (robots) which can compete against one another using a variety of armaments (cannons, missiles, etc.) by executing them at the same time and communicating with the CodeWar simulator. Robots have the ability to detect these other robots and make up their own strategies to outsmart other programmers' code.

Additionally, Worm Wars 8.73 and Saga 1.81 have been released. These feature improved MorphOS compatibility, among other enhancements.
