AmiLisp 0.12 Adds New Garbage Collector for AmigaOS

Manfred Bergmann has released version 0.12 of AmiLisp, a Common Lisp implementation for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS formerly known as CL-Amiga. The update introduces a new garbage collector architecture with an abstracted interface and adds the Immix collector, which runs on both AmigaOS and MorphOS and is described as significantly faster than its predecessor in most situations. The release also improves Clamacs, AmiLisp's bundled editor and IDE, adding project support so that groups of windows and buffers can be opened or closed together when switching between projects, a feature similar to Emacs perspectives. Multiple cursor support has also been added to the editor. via amiga-news.de

PrismaNG Driver 3.2 Released for Prisma Megamix Amiga Card

Marcus Gerards has released version 3.2 of the PrismaNG driver and tools package for the Prisma Megamix, an Amiga expansion card for the Zorro II slot or clock port that offloads decoding of compressed audio formats such as MP2, MP3, WMA and OGG from the host CPU. The update adds a long-awaited AHI driver, though it is noted as not suitable for every use since the card's vs1063a chip is a DSP tied to compressed formats, along with a benchmark tool to help find suitable modes. CPU usage is reported at 15 to 25 percent on Zorro machines, with higher usage on clock port setups. The PrismaPlay tool also gains support for streaming internet radio and recordings, plus an ARexx interface. via amiga-news.de

Amigadex Launches as Search Engine for Amiga Developers

Amigadex has launched as a free search engine covering the Amiga community across AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS, as well as both classic hardware and emulation.

New features include HTTPS support via AmiSSL or the bundled AmiTLS, completed printing functionality covering dialogs, menus, ARexx and TurboPrint, and mapping of UTF-8 HTML content onto the OS3 Latin-1 character set.

Original Xbox Emulation on Android Sees Major Improvements

Emulators that run original Xbox games on Android devices have been receiving significant updates, according to a report. The improvements cover better game compatibility, performance gains, save state support and shader options. The original Xbox, released by Microsoft in 2001, has historically been a difficult platform to emulate due to its custom hardware based on a modified Intel Pentium III and Nvidia GPU. via retrohandhelds.gg

New GBC Racer ZERO Channels F-Zero’s Style

Rocketship Park and Thalamus are working on ZERO, a new futuristic racing game for the Game Boy Color. The project draws on the style of Nintendo's F-Zero, which launched on the SNES in 1990 and used Mode 7 rotation effects that handheld hardware could not replicate until the Game Boy Advance version arrived in 2001. ZERO aims to show how a similar high-speed racer could work on the more limited Game Boy Color hardware. via gamesasylum.com
