`12.Dec.2023`	AmigaOS 4: Extended audio emulator "Nallepuh" 1.8 "Nallepuh" or "Nalle Puh" is a hack that intercepts some custom chip register accesses and converts them into AHI function calls. Initially only the Paula chip was emulated, but now the Complex Interface Adapter (CIA-Chip) and the Blitter have been added (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.8 offers the following changes: Updated translation for Italian. Updated translation for Norwagine. Bug fixed: logPUH() maybe it can cause ISI error. (So rewritten to make 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 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) (dr) [News message: 12. Dec. 2023, 21:50] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
