New Amiberry-Lite version is now out: github.com/BlitterStudi...

I'll just leave these here, as a little teaser of what's coming soon... #amiberry #amiga #retrocomputing

I've got a few new releases for you, and some information about what's coming soon! ko-fi.com/post/Release...

I know it was only a few days ago, but what the heck... New-new Directory Opus version released! Adds AROS 64-bit bug fixes, but also some new and shiny features along the way. And a bit more performance when drawing icons! github.com/BlitterStudi...

New Directory Opus 5 release is now available: github.com/BlitterStudi... Lots of changes in this one, make sure you check the release notes for all the details! #amiga #opensource #retroComputing

It's time for a new Amiberry release! v8.4.2 is now out: github.com/BlitterStudi... #amiga #emulation #opensource #retrocomputing

I'll just leave this here then... (part of the next release, coming soon) #ZZ9000 #Amiga #RetroComputing #Opensource cc: @mntmn

New #Amiberry bugfix update released: github.com/BlitterStudi... #amiga #opensource #emulation #retroComputing

I've just released a new version of #Amiberry, my open source #Amiga emulator for various platforms: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr... Hope you enjoy the new features! :) #amiga #opensource #retrocomputing #emulation

Quick follow up release for the ZZ9000, to fix some issues reported but also add a few surprise new features: Firmware: github.com/BlitterStudi... Drivers: github.com/BlitterStudi... #amiga #retroComputing #opensource

I decided to finally release this beast of an update, before I go crazy: ko-fi.com/post/ZZ9000-... #Amiga #OpenSource #ZZ9000

New release for the ZZ9000 #Amiga graphics and coprocessor card, coming tonight!

Amiberry-Lite just got a new release: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr... #amiga #emulation #retroComputing #opensource

Working on a few more improvements on the ZZ9000 for the #Amiga: - ZZTop fixes and UI improvements. Separate window for the Scandoubler options. - Fixed ZZPlay flickering in MPEG video playback. Improved streaming of large videos - Improved audio output for the AX card. Improved volume and balance

New release: ZZ9000 2.8.0 RC3 is ready for your feedback: github.com/BlitterStudi... github.com/BlitterStudi... Please report any issues on Github, so we can gather them in one place! :)

DOpus5 just got native ARM64 (aarch64) support for AROS builds. Now that AROS runs on RPI devices natively, I thought I'd expand the support for the projects I maintain to include it. :) The next release will come with a native ARM build for AROS as well.

ZZ9000: I've just released v2.8 RC2, fixing a few issues and adding some nice new features, after the previous update: ko-fi.com/post/ZZ9000-...

While testing the ZZ9000 for things like hardware-accelerated mp3 playback (MHI) and RTG correctness, I ended up finding bugs that were not caused by my implementations, but the upstream apps themselves. So, an MHI bug in Hippoplayer got fixed and a new P96 bug was reported to Jens today.

ZZ9000 Firmware and Drivers for v2.8-RC-1 are up, please test and help find out anything I may have missed: github.com/BlitterStudi... github.com/BlitterStudi... Zorro II users especially, since I have no such hardware to test here.

It's finally time to release it: Amiberry v8.3.0 is now out! ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr... #amiga #retroComputing #emulation #openSource

I've been a little quiet, but that's because I've been a little busy as well. So, I wrote a new update about the upcoming releases of my two biggest projects: ko-fi.com/post/End-of-...

ZZ9000 v2.2.0: your Amiga now offloads TLS, JPEG/PNG, MP3 & .7z to the card — ~16% faster HTTPS on a 68060, a hardware watchdog, GUI firmware updates, and an open SDK v2. Free & open. 🚀 #Amiga #RetroComputing 👉 github.com/BlitterStudi... 👉 github.com/BlitterStudi... SDK: github.com/BlitterStudi...

Amiberry v8.2.1 is out: fixed PPC emulation (again), UAE MHI MP3 offload, UAESND recording support, and improved libretro audio underrun recovery. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #Emulation #RetroComputing

Something is cooking in #Amiberry-land...

ZZ9000 SDK update: - zz9k.library done. - JPEG decoder done, including Datatype. - PNG decoder mostly done, including Datatype (transparent ones are not showing correctly yet). - mpega.library drop-in replacement done. - archive support (extraction-only for now) done, including CLI tool - […]

Now that we have stable FW/Drivers for the ZZ9000, it's time to start working on the most interesting part: native library to accelerate common operations using the second ARM core. Datatypes, mp3 players, C2P operations, are just some of the things that can benefit from this. #Amiga

ZZ9000 Drivers v2.1.0 is out for AmigaOS. New ZZFwUpdate tool, RTG/P96 improvements, Poseidon USB fixes, expanded ZZTop diagnostics, zznetstats firmware RX counters, and refreshed installer/docs. github.com/BlitterStudi...

ZZ9000 firmware v2.1.0 is tagged. Faster RTG paths, Ethernet and USB fixes, FWUP updates from AmigaOS, videocap fixes, FSBL safety checks, and rebuilt variants incl. ns-pal. github.com/BlitterStudi...

Directory Opus 5.101 is out: SFTP and UTF-8 FTP improvements, new OS3 68000 and AROS i386/x86_64 packages, LNFS/PFS fixes, OS3 titlebar/UI fixes, and `print.module` hardening. Downloads: github.com/BlitterStudi...

Amiberry v8.1.6 is out: Windows ARM64/JIT stability work, RTG zero-copy by default, cleaner libretro paths, Android input fixes, and config cleanup. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #RetroComputing

First successful connection of #DOpus5 using SFTP on #Amiga #OS3 - yay!

#Amiga Directory Opus 5.100 is now released: github.com/midwan/dopus... This version brings FTPS support and XADOpus module bugfixes

Want the ultimate Amiga gaming and demo scene handheld device? Mr. @simondick.bsky.social shows off our new emulator scaling — the 5×PAL scaling for the game GODS, and the 16:9 scaling for the demo EON from @h0ffman.bsky.social & crew — on the 1080p OLED Retroid Pocket Flip 2. Absolutely gorgeous!

Amiberry Host Tools v2.1 is out: new host-path, reveal, notify, edit, clip and info tools, plus safer quoting, URL handling and long-path checks. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... Support: ko-fi.com/midwan #Amiga #Amiberry

ZZ9000 firmware + drivers v2.0.0 are out. Includes BOOT.bin firmware packages, SD boot, Poseidon USB work, RTG fixes/perf, Scanlines V2 and a cleaner installer. Firmware: github.com/BlitterStudio/zz9000-firmware/releases/tag/v2.0.0 Drivers: github.com/BlitterStudio/zz9000-drivers/releases/tag/v2.0.0

I've been working on a few #Amiga related side-projects lately... ko-fi.com/post/A-few-s...

Amiberry 8.1.5 is out 🎉 ✨ 80-bit Softfloat FPU (optional) ⌨️ New ImGui on-screen keyboard 🎚️ Adaptive VSync 🗂️ Per-config filter settings 🍎 macOS full-window fixes 📱 Android controller + UX fixes 📱 iOS groundwork 🔄 WinUAE 6100b1 sync github.com/BlitterStudi...

Sometimes, you just want to push that old piece of software to the limits, and beyond... This is from that same old 1990s-era Lightwave 3D 5.0, on the #Amiga (which a bit of modern plugin magic on top)

Current mode: #Amiga hardware debugging

amiga-lw-plugin v0.7.0 is out for LightWave 5.x on AmigaOS: Fresnel/PBR scene-save fixes, LensFlare now supports up to 50 flare sources, and ObjSwap is faster on large sets. Before/after renders below. github.com/midwan/amiga-lw-plugin

Scanline support for the ZZ9000 is done

Working on the #ZZ9000 #Amiga #RTG card next. Time to optimize that performance a bit, since there hasn't been any new firmware or driver updates in quite a while! #OpenSource

I’ve released LightWave 3D 5.x plugins for AmigaOS: ObjSwap, Fresnel, PBR-lite shading, and LensFlare, built with a GCC m68k-AmigaOS toolchain. Latest v0.6.7 improves LensFlare for dense specular/reflection scenes. github.com/midwan/amiga...

I sat down with a friend today, and we decided to have an Amiga hackathon day. A few hours later, a new Lightwave 5.x plugin was born: github.com/midwan/amiga... #Amiga #RetroComputing #OpenSource #Lightwave #Raytracing

Amiberry v8.1.4 is out. Fixes the macOS Intel JIT startup crash, improves KMSDRM startup, and adds Vulkan multi-threaded rendering plus Android UX polish. github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #Emulation #Amiberry

A new #Amiberry backers-only update is out: ko-fi.com/post/Backers...

And now for something completely different...
