MeMo History (ANF)


Memory game: MeMO 3.20
Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua has released an update to his memory game MeMO. It is based on the classic memory card game, but in his implementation two players can compete against each other at the same time and compete for the best score.

MeMO requires a 68020 processor and the ECS chipset.

Changes in version 3.20:
  • Replaced Nebulus' card with Ring around the World's
  • Fixed a stray pixel in Bubble Dizzy's card
  • Built against latest custom framework (which ensures that the system MMU setup does not interfere)
  • Touched up manual

Merry Christmas!
Dear readers, dear Amiga friends,

As Christmas draws to a close, so does the year and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal readers, for whom we have endeavoured over the past twelve months not only to collect news, but also to provide background reports, tutorials, anecdotes and so on. It is fascinating how many private, but also professional projects still exist around the Amiga.

Therefore, on the other hand, thanks should also go to all the people who develop these small and large software and hardware projects and sacrifice time for them: without them there would be nothing for us to report on and nothing for the many Amiga users to be happy about, test, complain about... ;)

For this reason, we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year together with a few randomly selected people who represent all the projects we have reported on over the past year! Stay in touch with the developers, the creatives, support them, also by actively participating in discussions in the corresponding news items here: Feedback is always welcome! A big thank you to the graphic designer 'jojo073', who provided us with the Christmas pixel art.

Merry Christmas!

(dr)

HxC floppy emulator: Software V2.15.1.2
The floppy emulator HxC by Jean-Francois Del Nero completely replaces the floppy drive (of an Amiga) with an electronic device. The project, which was launched in 2006, is available in two versions, with a SD card port or with USB port (amiga-news.de reported).

A new version of the HxC floppy emulator software has now been released. The changes:
  • Many fixes and improvements into the flux stream management :
    • One revolution only / 2 indexes support fixed.
    • Fix stream files formats export : No more glitch after the first revolution index. (Fix SCP and KF export).
    • Sectors recovery support - Can be disabled/enabled with the FLUXSTREAM_SECTORS_RECOVERY variable. This feature try to automatically recover/fix bad sectors with copies present in others stream revolutions.
    • Default pulses timing jitter tolerance increased from 10% to 14% (Config file).
  • Kryoflux writer : stream to stream conversion : Don't align output stream to the next index.
  • SCP writer : stream to stream conversion : Don't align output stream to the next index.
  • SCP loader : Fix singled-sided images support (Fix the number of tracks/cylinder).
  • SCP loader : Fix broken support of SCP images with more than 5 revolutions.
  • SCP loader : Fix odd number of tracks + double step mode issue (Last track missing).
  • Logic analyzer capture loader : nameTT.S.logicbin8bits file name convention support. (TT=track S=side)
  • New XML format : MC50/MC300/MC500 formats and empty data disk.
  • New XML format : Sharp X68000 2HD disk.
  • Track display : Fix possible infinite loop : check the bitrate value and stop + report if needed.
  • HFEv3 loader : Support RAND_OPCODE right after SKIPBITS_OPCODE.
  • New X68000 DIM file image loader.
  • New Apple II 2MG file image loader. (WIP - To be completed)
  • XML raw loader : Fix images last sector loading.
  • Track editor : New "insert" and "remove" track operations.
  • HFE writers : New "HFE_WRITER_WRITENOTALLOWED" parameter : Set it to 1 to write protect the exported hfe files.
  • HxC stream (Pauline) : Auto detect and load properly hard-sectored dumps.
  • D88 loader : Fix possible infinite loop with corrupted image.
  • Batch converter : New BATCHCONVERT_KEEP_SOURCE_FILE_NAME_EXTENSION setting to enable/disable the source file extension to the output file name.
  • BMP export : New Stream tracks mode export.

Platform game: Demo version of "Terryble Knight"
The author of the RedPill game construction kit, Carlos 'Zener' Peris, started this game project because he wanted to test the slope system in RedPill. With RedPill version 0.9.32, also released today, this slope system has been greatly improved. "Terryble Knight" (YouTube video) uses the assets of Ansimuz, a very good and productive pixel artist. The music was provided by 'Fireb0y'. (dr)

Shoot 'em Up: Early demo version of "NEON world" (V0.0.4)
After Frank Neumann had not programmed anything for the Amiga with assembler for 30 years, he wants to get back into it with the shoot 'em up "NEON world". This early demo version now has its first opponents, even if the score is not yet calculated correctly. The game uses the free graphics set "NEONworld", which Kevin Saunders made available as part of the Amiga Art Contest 2020 (amiga-news.de reported). The game should run on an Amiga 500.

Web browser: IBrowse 3.0a
One month after the release of version 3.0 of his web browser "IBrowse" (amiga-news.de reported), Oliver Roberts has made an update available. Although, as he writes, "things have gone pretty smoothly", one problem in particular went largely unnoticed: a bug in the HTTP(S) module could trash memory, which could result in either instant crashes or seemingly random crashes at a later stage. For this reason, all users are advised to update their IBrowse 3.0 installation using the supplied installer. See the History log page for full details of the changes in this update. (dr)

Encryption protocol: AmiSSL 5.13 (AmigaOS 3/4)
Version 5.13 of the open source encryption protocol AmiSSL has been released, which is now based on the latest version OpenSSL 3.2 including important security related fixes, a built-in HTTP(S) client and comes with new encryption ciphers. Detailed changes:
  • Switched to OpenSSL 3.2, with full compatibility with the latest OpenSSL 3.2.0 (23.11.2023) version, which includes the following new features:
    • Support for client side QUIC (RFC 9000)
    • Support for Ed25519ctx, Ed25519ph and Ed448ph in addition to existing support for Ed25519 and Ed448 (RFC 8032)
    • Support for deterministic ECDSA signatures (RFC 6979)
    • Support for AES-GCM-SIV, a nonce-misuse-resistant AEAD (RFC 8452)
    • Support for the Argon2 KDF (RFC 9106)
    • Support for Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) (RFC 9180)
    • Support for SM4-XTS
    • Support for Brainpool curves in TLS 1.3
    • Support for TLS Raw Public Keys (RFC 7250)
    • Support for using the IANA standard names in TLS ciphersuite configuration
    • Multiple new features and improvements to CMP protocol support
  • Updated root certificates to latest Mozilla-based bundle provided by https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html dated 12.12.2023.
  • Use Exec mutexes instead of semaphores on AmigaOS 4.x, decreasing system overhead.
  • Use ASOPOOL_Protected instead of our own semaphore protected memory pool on AmigaOS 4.x.
  • Improved error handling should failures occur early in library initialisation.
  • The installer now properly handles any certificates that may have been disabled by the user and will update them, but leave them disabled.
  • The installer on AmigaOS 4.x can now install the libraries whilst AmiSSL is still in use, provided elf.library 53.35+ is installed and no instances prior to AmiSSL 5.6 are still in memory.
