  1. Amiga emulator for macOS: vAmiga v5.0b1 introducing AGA support

    As vAmigaWeb does already, now also vAmiga, Dirk Hoffmann's Amiga emulator for macOS, supports the AGA chipset. For this first beta version still beta testers are wanted to find possible bugs.

  2. Web-Based Emulator: vAmigaWeb Goes AGA

    The web-based emulator vAmigaWeb now emulates the AGA chipset. In addition, you can now easily select a specific computer to emulate in the preferences, instead of having to configure all settings individually, and the "next" and "single-stepping" commands now work correctly in the debugger.

  8. # Agnus

    The one thing I've always liked about Amiga computers is that the custom ICs always have interesting names.
    At first glance Agnus seemed like a mis spelled Agnes. When I dove into the manuals I saw the interesting work that the Agnus IC needs to do.

    You can consider the Agnus as the direct memory access broker in the Amiga.

    A practical example of Agnus usage

    * Noise Tracker
    * mod data
    * Paula

    Noise Tracker request0 mod playback on Paula

    * CPU interrupt
    * Agnus DMA interrupt
    * Data playback on Paula

    Noise Tracker request1 on Paula
    * Agnus DMA interrupt
    * Data playback on Paula

    As you can see the central processing unit is interrupted only once; all consecutive communications goes through the Agnus IC immediately to Paula.
    This Architecture Made it possible to use such a light CPU while The machine did extreme heavy lifting, for it's memory footprint.

    >Agnus is the Address Generator Chip. Its main function, in chip area, is the RAM Address Generator and Register Address Encoder which handles all DMA addresses. The 8361 Agnus is made up of approximately 21000 transistors and contains DMA Channel Controllers. The Blitter and Copper are also contained here. Originally Agnus was fabricated in 5 μm manufacturing process like all OCS chipset.

    Agnus features:

    >Memory controller ("Chip" memory that can be accessed by the processor and the chipset)
    The Blitter, a bitmap manipulator. The Blitter is capable of copying blocks of display data, or any arbitrary data in the chip memory, at high speed with various raster operations as well as drawing pixel perfect lines and filling outlined polygons, while freeing the CPU for concurrent tasks.
