12-Apr-2015: PPC-Hardware: MorphOS auf dem AmigaOne X5000 vorgeführt
Auf dem "Alternativen Computer-Meeting", das dieses Wochenende in Wolfsburg
stattfindet, wird offenbar ein X5000 gezeigt, auf dem bereits MorphOS lief,
wie einige uns vorliegende Fotos zeigen:
http://www.amiga-news.de/pics/x5000-morphos/IMG_2226.JPG [2]
Wie uns Guido Mersmann vom MorphOS-Team mitteilt, handelt es sich dabei
zunächst um eine Machbarkeitsstudie, eine Veröffentlichung von MorphOS für den
AmigaOne X5000 sei nicht vor Version 3.10 geplant.

12-Apr-2015: PPC hardware: MorphOS presented on the AmigaOne X5000
On the "Alternatives computer-Meeting", which in Wolfsburg this weekend
takes place, apparently a X5000 is shown on the already MorphOS ran,
as some of us this Photos show:

As we are notified by Guido Mersmann MorphOS team, these are
first a feasibility study, a publication of MorphOS for the
AmigaOne X5000 is not scheduled before version 3.10.

----DEUTSCH----
10-Apr-2015: AROS: 68k-Distribution Aros Vision 2.9.2 / Ankündigung von Varianten [1]
Die Version 2.9.2 der AROS/68k-Distribution Aros Vision von Olaf Schönweiß (Screenshot
[2]) weist Aktualisierungen einiger enthaltener Programme sowie einen neuen
Bildschirmschoner auf.
Daneben soll es künftig Varianten der Distribution geben. Die bisherige
Fassung erhält den Namenszusatz "RTG", in Entwicklung befinden sich Aros
Vision ECS (für echte 68k-Hardware und FPGA-Nachbildungen) und Aros Vision X86
(Screenshots: EdiSyn [3], Antyriad [4]).
Letztere Distribution basiert auf der Windows-hosted-Version von AROS, wodurch
es einfach zu starten ist, da eine Installation entfällt. Der Nachteil:
Bislang ist keine Netzwerk- und Audio-Unterstützung enthalten. Weitere
Plattformen, einschließlich eigenständig lauffähiger, sind geplant.
Änderungen in der Version 2.9.2:
* Neu aufgebaut
* Netsurf aktualisiert
* Free Pascal aktualisiert
* Theme kann über Menü geändert werden
* MUI-Klassen aktualisiert
* Hollywood-Plugins aktualisiert
* AppStore-Client aktualisiert
* Sollte schneller sein
* Neu: Bildschirmschoner

Verzögerungen beim Spielen sind dem Entwickler nicht aufgefallen, er schätzt
den Zeitverlust durch die zweimalige Konvertierung auf unter 2 Millisekunden.

Mit Mäusen funktioniert dieser Adapter bisher nicht. Der Autor vermutet, dass
das an der erheblich größeren Menge von zu übertragenden Daten liegt. Er wird
versuchen, dass Problem in den Griff zu bekommen, hat aber noch keine Ideen
zur Umsetzung.

07-Apr-2015: Benchmarks: Warp 3D-SI auf dem Sam und dem X1000
In den letzten Tagen haben AmigaOS 4-Anwender begonnen, Benchmark-Ergebnisse
für die vor kurzem veröffentlichten kommerziellen Warp 3D-Treiber [1] für
Radeon HD-Grafikkarten zu veröffentlichen. Auf amigans.net [2] werden die
Ergebnisse gesammelt und tabellarisch aufbereitet, einen Vergleichswert für
ein Sam440 hat Alain Thellier (Wazp 3D) bereits 2013 geliefert [3].
Durchgeführt werden zwei Tests, mit Ausnahme des Ergebnisses für das Sam440
mit Onboard-Grafik wurden die Ergebnisse alle unter der Final Edition von
AmigaOS 4.1 ermittelt.
* Quake 3 Timedemo 1: mit der ioquake3-Portierung (Ioquake3.lha [4]) von
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel in einer Auflösung von 1280x1024, diesen
Einstellungen [5] und MiniGL 2.20 [6]
* Cow 3D [7] (ein Warp 3D-Benchmark von Alain Thellier). Hier sollte mit der
Taste 'b' der Puffer eingeschaltet werden, damit die einzelnen Frames
nicht mehr ständig vom Prozessor berechnet werden müssen und tatsächlich
nur die Grafikleistung bewertet wird.
Im folgenden die bisher veröffentlichten Benchmark-Ergebnisse, Vergleichswerte
mit älteren Radeon-Grafikkarten liegen derzeit kaum vor. Die Werte stehen für
angezeigte Bilder pro Sekunde ("FPS"), d.h. je höher der Wert desto besser das
Ergebnis:
http://www.amiga-news.de/pics/
Hinweis der Redaktion: In einzelnen Fällen haben Anwender keine
Durchschnittswerte sondern FPS-"Bereiche" angegeben. Wir nehmen in diese
Fällen der Einfachheit halber den jeweils höheren Wert, die Unterschiede
liegen aber alle im niedrigen einstelligen Bereich. Die angegebenen Werte
stammen alle von AmigaOS 4-Nutzern und sind von uns nicht zu überprüfen.

In recent days, AmigaOS 4 users have begun benchmark results for the recently released commercial Warp 3D drivers [1] To publish Radeon HD graphics cards. On amigans.net [2], the results collected and prepared in tabular form, a comparison value for Sam440 (wazp 3D) has delivered in 2013 [3]. Be conducted two tests, with the exception of the results for the Sam440with onboard graphics, the results (benchmarked by Alain Thellier) were all under the final edition of AmigaOS 4.1 (update 6) determined.
* Time Quake 3 Demo 1: the ioquake3 port (Ioquake3.lha [4]) of
Hugues' HunoPPC Nouvel in a resolution of 1280x1024, these
Settings [5] and MiniGL 2.20 [6]
* Cow 3D [7] (a Warp 3D benchmark by Alain Thellier). This should match the
Press the 'b' of the buffers are switched, so that the individual frames
no longer need to be continually calculated by the processor and actually
only the graphics performance is evaluated.
In the following the previously published benchmark results, comparing values with older Radeon graphics cards (there are hardly any). The values represent displaying images per second ("FPS"), that is, the higher the value the better the result:

Editor's Note: In some cases, users have no averages but FPS "areas" specified. We assume in this cases for the sake of simplicity the higher of its value, the differences but all lie in the low single digits. The values given are all from AmigaOS 4 users and should not be checked by us.

05-Apr-2015: AROS: AEROS for Pi Beta 10 sowie Beta 8 (Vollversion für Raspberry Pi 1) [1]
Pascal Paparas linuxbasierte AROS-Distribution AEROS für den Minicomputer
Raspberry Pi ist für registrierte Anwender nun in der Betaversion 10 verfügbar
(Änderungen s.u., Video [2] des Vorgängers).
Anlässlich Osterns ist zudem die im November [3] veröffentlichte Betaversion 8
nun in technisch uneingeschränkter Fassung für den Raspberry Pi 1 (
Anwendungen von AROS aus enthalten ist.
Die Betaversion 10 ist auf den Raspberry Pi 2 zugeschnitten. Auf dem
Vorgängermodell läuft sie nur mit 512 MB RAM vollständig (aber langsam), mit
weniger Speicher funktionieren einzelne Komponenten der Distribution nicht.
Changelog:
* Updated UAE4all2 with AROS/68k kickstart replacement
* Added Quake 3 demo (works only on Pi with 512 MB RAM)
* Added Gimp (very very sluggish on a Pi 1)
* USB-sticks are now auto-mounted when you attach them, no need anymore to
run a Linux file manager first
* Added EmulationStation (you need to boot into command line to run it)
* Changed memory split and reduced memory size for AROS (this can be
modified by the user) in order to get Quake working with less swapping

MORE DETAILED INFORMATION (about the videos above):
Part 1 - Use the Assembler and wait for left click
Part 2 - Make a rasterline
Part 3 - Move that rasterline
The first steps from getting an Amiga or emulator to run an Assembler, to something that moves on the screen.
If you don't have an assembler, you can get Asm-One 1.02+ from coppershade.org, or for example Asm-One 1.20 by googling. (There are other versions, but these are used in the tutorials.)
Books on this subject: The Asm-One 1.02 Manual and the Amiga System Programmer's Guide - it seems someone has uploaded PDF versions already, on archive.org.
Or eab.abime.net's file server, and probably more places.
Part 4 - System OFF, please
Tried another codec and it turned out to be horrible, sorry about the glitches.
Part 5 - One copper to rule the screen
Sorry about the goof at 18:28 (if something errors simply go to YouTube and click on the link under the video there or if you really need to get to that specific point manually choose 'more' followed by 'transcription', and in this actual case '18:29 - in'), this is all straight from memory and I don't write startup routines from scratch... er... as often as I should...?
Part 6 - Understanding the Raster
The same moving rasterline by modifying a running copperlist, removing the CPU busy-waits and an introduction to the Wait and Move copper instructions.
Part 7 - Understanding the Memory
Explains a little bit about labels, chip memory and fast memory, how to examine the data in memory and how your instructions become a binary program. Also explains the difference between color-coding and coder colors. :P
Part 8 - Displaying Bitmap Graphics
Explains how the bitplane DMA works and how to set up and display a 1 bitplane screen buffer with the copper.
Part 9 - DMA control and sprites
This episode shows how to set and restore DMA correctly, and how to create a sprite and move it. It also touches on how bitplane data is combined to look up a palette color.
About 22:00 (if something errors simply go to YouTube and click on the link under the video there or if you really need to get to that specific point manually choose 'more' followed by 'transcription', and '22:00 - mmm this is very strange is right'), you can't really see the red dot test sprite because of the codec fighting the random bitplane background, but I hope the narration makes it clear what is going on on the screen.
If you just want to follow the reasoning, download the source here: http://coppershade.org/asmskool/Tut9.S
Part 10 - Deluxe Paint and IFFconv
This part hopes to give a general outline to getting started drawing graphics in DPaint, and shows how to convert the picture to bitmap format for use in our demo. The updated Metallion's IFF-Converter has some features others don't, and it's very useful for coders and easy to use. That's why I use it. You can get it from the Asmskool Project Directory (see Part 9 - DMA control and sprites above).
Again with the recording while drunk and tired... I was tuning in to Scenesat sending live from Bit Live with famous C64 musicians: Gray, Daglish, Galways, Whittaker, Tel... my schedule got a bit, hm, erratic with such distractions. And wouldn't you know it, I filled up my harddisk recording, so I had to re-record parts late in the night. I hope the general meaning gets across despite this.
I don't care who you are or what you do - if you haven't yet - try DPaint, it's lovely, you're missing out.
Part 11 - Denise, Copper, Bitplanes
How to incorporate your Deluxe Paint graphics in your demo and display them correctly.
Also explains what's going on when the Copper tells Denise where to go and what to do, and some adjustments of the layout of our demo to prepare for the next part, preliminary title: "Doing something interesting".
Part 12 - Bitplane manipulation, program structure, and the stack
We make our demo a bit more system friendly using SECTIONs and stack to preserve registers and give our code better structure. Also explains a little bit more about how things are stored in memory and especially bitmap data. And our happy sprite is back!
Part 13 - Introducing... the Blitter!
Your first blit! This episode gives an overview of the Blitter coprocessor and shows how to set up a simple blitter operation (a "blit') and start it. You can join in at any step - go to coppershade.org to get the tools you need and click on Project Directory to load the appropriate source used in a tutorial.
Part 14 - Blitter channels, minterms, shifting and masking
Getting Blitter nasty! Well, not very. But I show how to make a slightly more involved setup of the Blitter to copy-and-shift, a precursor to our scroll routine, and how to calculate the minterm for any blit you might need.
Also introduces base registers as a way to optimize the code and make the source easier to read.
Part 15 - Scrolling with the Blitter
How to scroll a bitmap area using the Blitter chip. Also: how to calculate minterms for OR and cookie-cut blits.
With too much talk about details as usual! I sort of catch myself thinking "is what I say complete and true" as I speak. You can indeed scroll leftward using ascending mode, and I should have shown you why $fca is indeed a correct control word for bob, mask, and screen in channels A, B, and C.
Note: There is a drawback to using ascending mode for scrolling, namely that you write to a word *outside* the blitter rectangle. If you are aware of this and it doesn't matter (it doesn't overwrite any data, or it's OK to overwrite because it's not visible), everything's fine - but if you forget it when you make changes later you can have a hard-to-find bug on your hands.
The reason for channel selector mask $3, $5, and $7 being less efficient is that they cause gaps in the Blitter pipeline's cycle sequence.
Part 16 - draw a font - part 1
Let's draw a font for our scroll in Deluxe Paint! This part starts by me explaining how I plan to do the font, then I draw a miniature version of the font, scale it up and do the details including some antialiasing.
Part 17 - draw a font - part 2
This part finishes the full size version of the font, 32x20px, 8 colors.
Part 18 - draw a font - part 3
The final part, adding highlights to the characters. Basically you can watch the start and then skip to the end, the rest is just, well the same work over and over.
Part 19 - How to deliver fonts/graphics, color reduction and remapping
Generally how to think about delivering what you've created to the one who wants to make something impressive with limited amounts of chip memory.
Part 20 - Plotting Characters
We import a font into the demo, set up the screen buffer depth to match the font, plot a character, and set the screen buffer palette to the font palette.
Part 21 - The scroller from start to finish
This shows how to code a text scroller. From the Plot Character function we wrote, I make the scroll function scroll characters, and map the font characters we drew onto an ASCII/ANSI table, so we can write the scrolltext. I also talk a bit at the start about the ORG command, relative addressing instructions and relocation by the OS.
Part 22 - Bounce effect
Easter time is party time and so you need to bounce your scroller on the floor and do it more and more and more! With the help of an acceleration curve. Happy Easter!
Part 23 - Introduction to Protracker
This part shows how to install and use basic editing in Protracker (a common music program for making music for demos on Amiga).
If you know how to install Protracker correctly or have already used Protracker even a little bit, skip over the details to 24:41 (if something errors simply go to YouTube and click on the link under the video there or if you really need to get to that specific point manually choose 'more' followed by 'transcription', and '24:41 - the show yarder turn off tracks'). They're just there for completeness. After this I load a test module, go through the most important shortcut keys, and show how to load instruments. This is as far as we go in this tutorial, so people who have tried Protracker a little can skip to composing in the next tutorial.
Part 24 - Protracker - How do I start making a song?
This is very slow and basic because I explain every step (and also listen and think), next tutorials expect you learned this stuff.
I start playing with some drum sounds and make a rhythm, explain some more shortcut keys, and some of the effect commands. I end up with a rhythm and bass line for the build-up. For me, it's all about playing around until you get some small ideas of where it should go.
Get the project files and stuff at coppershade.org, including the command cheat-sheet that I show here by pressing Amiga-M.
Part 25 - Protracker - Instrument editing - intro
Shows sample cutting, finding loops, fine volume slide, vibrato, *tempo and speed commands* while creating some sort of intro for the song.
A few minutes are missing from the start: I loaded the module and found the tempo was wrong, because I forgot to set the tempo (F88) before saving the module. So the video start with me having added the F88 and explaining how it works together with F09 to set the tempo.
The gist of it is there but these tutorials are completely improvised, so let's hope I get a good chorus/main theme going in the next one. :P
Part 26 - Protracker - Building the song
I show how to program the song positions to build up a song, go hunting for a good lead sound, and make some harmonies for the chorus.
BTW, I launched my coding website Coppershade this weekend! In this tutorial, I used a sound that was not on the ST-xx instrument disks. Go to http://coppershade.org/articles/Code/Asmskool/ and follow the links to the project directory.
I also put the module version from the last tutorial there, if you want to duplicate my steps / "learn by doing".
Part 27 - Protracker - Cleanup and variations
HAPPY AMIGA DAY! :-) I've uploaded two of my instrument collections, various selected sounds from misc sources and some sampled from my Juno 106 and JX-3P sorted into Lead, Percussion etc. - here:
http://coppershade.org/articles/Assembler/Tutorials/Protracker_Instrument_Collections/
This is basically very late night me listening and editing and making variations to form the song. Watch it if you want "musician" info, most of the things in Protracker are already in the previous tutorials.
Part 28 - Protracker - Song done and delivered!
We finish the song, try some final things to make it as small as possible, and compress it with The Player Converter. Here's the finished module:
http://coppershade.org/asmskool/mod.new_ditty.mod
The Downloads page on http://coppershade.org is updated with the latest sources, instruments, and a few versions of the song for the previous Protracker tutorials.
Part 29 - How to use The Player playroutine
This tutorial is a standalone description of how to convert a Protracker module to the P61 format, how to use the new playroutine and the optimization options, and how to insert it into your demo.
Get the P61 playroutine version here: http://coppershade.org/asmskool/P6109.lha (there's also a zipped version in Downloads on Coppershade).
NOTE: A few days later, I released version P6110! It works the same way. Get it here: http://coppershade.org/asmskool/P6110.zip
Part 30 - Adding music to the demo
Part 31 - Coppershades, slower bounce
Part 32 - Copper bar transparency
Part 33 - Move a copper bar using sine curves

UPDATES
Coppershade.org has been updated with font files and sources in the project directory and a link to the DPaint manual.
You can jump in at any tutorial - go to http://coppershade.org for resources and sources.
May the source be with you! /Photon => link to private pictures on this guy on scoopex1988.org <=
If you want to read even more Amiga related stuff (but with a more common nature and not focused on strictly software development and/or porting) have a look at other posts further down and especially the small and easy to use blog archive - which you normally will find at the bottom of the screen.
