The following software updates for the A600GS and A1200NG have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system. They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:


46.1.1086 (16/05/2025):


SystemV46:

* XADMaster.library Version 13.0 added

* UnArchiver V46.1 added for decompressing any archives supported by XAD, such as LHA, Zip etc

* Modify default icons for archives to open UnArchiver as default.

* Add UnArchiver to AB-Dock





A1200NG and A600GS:

* Update German translations

* Add the new amiberry.map_cd_drives=true option when enabling CD Image insertion. Fixes ISO not mounting.

* Add option for disabling the boot jingle

* When the insert disk window was closed by pressing the start button on the joypad rather than a select or cancel gadget, the filechooser object was not deleted. Resulting in a bad reference when it was deleted later in the insert disk windows destructor, Fixed by reorder destructor sequence.

* Improve positioning of insert disk window when openeing.

* Add work around for memory leak that occured deep in the system when an window without borders / decoration had a blank / fully transparent mouse pointer set., and all other windows open were also borderless. This is effectively what SDL does when putting the window in SDL_RelativeMouseMode() and hiding the mouse pointer. AmiBerry uses this mode, so every time the currently running title was resumed a large chunk of CMA memory was leaked. This was the underlying cause of the issue people have had with inserting a large number of disks whilst installing 3rd party OSes. The work around involved replacing the blank mouse pointer with an almost invisible single pixel pointer and recreating the RelativeMouseMode at a higher level.

The following software updates for the A600GS and A1200NG have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system. They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:


46.1.1110 (06/06/2025):


SystemV46:

* Move PlayMP3 to Utilities drawer
* Add new AmigaKit version of More V46 to SYS:Utilities
* Update filesysbox.library

PlayMP3:

* Add AmiBench support. Dropping icons on PlayMP3 icon now starts MP3 playback. Add to AB-Dock Add UNIQUE switch, only one instance of PlayMP3 can run with the UNIQUE switch, other started that way will send commands to the extant player and then exit. Current command support is limited to ACTION_QUIT. Initially this allows clicking on AB-Dock icon to start playing files and then clicking a second time to stop playback.

ArmMP3File backend:

* Add opencount variable, to monitor opening depth and avoid the one 68k client killing anothers threads

* Add ASL requester when no files are parsed via command line or amibench startup message, add BASEDIR option to set the initial directory of the requester. Add directory scanning if an added path is a directory. With combinations of IGNOREM3U IGNOREMP3 and RECURSE options you can add all playlists or all mp3 files from a direcory heirarchy.
Add SHUFFLE option. Simple pseudo random shuffle, don't use for cryptology 🙂

Work:

* Add Work:Sound/Music/MP3 folder and three sample MP3s
