Rob Sprowson has released version 1.41 of AMPlayer – a module and command line application which provides facilities to decode and play audio MPEG files, such as MP3s. For users of the latest Raspberry Pi, the big change is that this version is compatible with 26-bit and 32-bit ARM processors up to and including ARMv8. The minimum version of RISC OS required is 3.50 – so in essence this new version is compatible with all RISC OS platforms since the RiscPC.

London Show 2016 looms
Feltham’s calling to the faraway towns, come along and see the best OS around! It is now just one week until I’ll be heading home from Feltham (and will have already long since reached home, looking at the time) – which means it’s just five days until I’ll be heading in the direction of Feltham. The day between those two journeys, of course, is when I’ll be in Feltham, exhibiting at this year’s London Show, organised by the RISC OS User Group of London – and here’s why you, the…
News nybble: Mystery new product from CJE at London Show… hopefully
And an unspecified “significant upgrade” – also hopefully! Without even a hint at what either will be, CJE Micro’s / 4D have announced that they are “hoping to announce a significant upgrade at the show and a new product” – but do note the word ‘hoping’. Other goodies they’ve said they are bringing include the RapidO Top pi-topRO (in limited quantities), the Eastwood RapidO Ig and RapidO Ti. They’ll have Raspberry Pi 2s – which is better for software compatibility than the Pi 3 due to the processor – but…
ProSound updated for ARMv7 compatibility
ProSound as a propound! A new version of ProSound has been released by Henrik Bjerregaard Pedersen, updated for compatibility with ARMv7 – which means almost all the platforms on which RISC OS currently runs.
GPS application released for RISC OS
Just the thing for the morning after the night before, and you’ve woken up wondering where on Earth you are!1 Chris Hall has released a new application, provisionally called ‘SatNav’, that can read the signal from a GPS receiver and feed it to other applications capable of understanding and acting on that data. One such application is Sine Nomine’s mapping software RiscOSM, which will then open a map showing your current location.
Chris Hall visits ROUGOL to help decide which computer really is best!
Erm… best for you, that is, because it’s subjective, innit? Chris Hall will be visiting the RISC OS User Group of London on Monday, 17th October, to give a talk entitled ‘System Comparisons’ in which he will look at the various new systems available that can be used to run RISC OS – whether they are full-blown, ready to use computers sold by the likes of R-Comp and CJE Micro’s, or simply system boards and DIY kits, for which additional components are needed such as (for that full Blue Peter…
Micro One heads to SE1
Tom Williamson to present his Pi-based machine to ROUGOL. The guest speaker at this month’s RISC OS User Group of London meeting, which takes place on Monday, 19th September, will be Tom Williamson of Ident Computer – and his subject matter will be the company’s Raspberry Pi-based Micro One computer.
User group meetings galore over the next seven days
Horsham, Southampton, Bristol, Midlands, Wessex… Everybody talk about… pop music! No, hang on, that’s not right. There are quite a number of user group meetings taking place over the next week, so it seems sensible to wrap them up in a single post, covering all of those up to and including next Saturday (17th September).
Meet the Micro One
The perfect computer for anyone who likes Airfix models. Or Ikea furniture. A name not many people in the RISC OS world will have heard of until very recently is Ident Computer, run by Shrewsbury-based Tom Williamson. Tom founded his company, the Ident Broadcasting & Communications Group, in 2006, and Ident Computer is a comparatively recent addition to the group, with the aim of preserving and exhibiting retro computers, and to aid and build new resources for education and entertainment.
Ident Computer at Midlands meeting tomorrow, 21st May
Also to discuss Recursion 2016. Also to dis… oh, wait, no – that’d be repetition, not recursion. The Midland User Group‘s next meeting will feature Tom Williamson from Ident Computer as its guest speaker. Part of the Ident broadcasting & Communications group, which Tom founded in 2006, Ident Computer was formed with the aim of helping to preserve and exhibit retro systems, such as the BBC Micro, as well as to build and support new resources for the education sector. It is education in particular that he is set to…
