FITD 1.0: Alone in the Dark, from start to end credits

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:24:12+00:00

Derceto manor opens its doors again: Alone in the Dark has been played to the end credits on a PowerBook G4 and on a Mirari. Papiosaur releases FITD 1.0, the port of "Free in the Dark", the open source rewrite of the engine of Infogrames' game.

It draws in software, so it runs on any MorphOS machine, without 3D drivers. The CD music, ripped to Ogg Vorbis, can be added if you wish, and Escape opens the save menu.

The game files are still to be supplied (CD version). Free, under the GPL v2; a 2 MB archive. Requires MorphOS 3.20.

Visit the dedicated webpage on MorphOS-Storage or the FITD GitHub repository.

TelegramAmiga 0.0.98: every chat rings its own way

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:22:52+00:00

A chat muted on your phone stays silent here too, and each one can have a sound of its own, any the datatypes can read. Michele Dipace releases TelegramAmiga 0.0.98, the native Telegram client that speaks MTProto straight from your machine.

Reactions show under messages and are added with a right click, messages from another day carry their date, and typed emoticons turn into emoji. On MorphOS, avatars and emoji are finally drawn in their own colours, smoothed, instead of the nearest palette colours.

Still unofficial, released under the MIT licence; a 649 KB archive. An existing Telegram account is needed.

SDL3 3.4.18: MIDI through FluidSynth

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:21:35+00:00

MIDI music in SDL3 programs now goes through fluidsynth.library when the FluidSynth 2.6.1 package is installed; without it, Timidity takes over as before. BeWorld updates his SDL3 package to 3.4.18, with SDL3_mixer rebuilt for the occasion.

Requires MorphOS 3.20, and the 3.20 SDK for developers. Installs with a double-click. Free, a 46 MB archive.

Visit the dedicated webpage on MorphOS-Storage or the GitHub repository of SDL for MorphOS.

MorphStation 0.3: the PlayStation on MorphOS

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:20:51+00:00

A PlayStation disc image dropped on an icon, and the game starts, with sound and gamepad. Papiosaur releases MorphStation 0.3, a PlayStation emulator ported from WiiStation, the Wii version of PCSX, with its PowerPC recompiler.

It reads .cue, .bin, .iso and .img images, even inside a 7z, ZIP or RAR archive, as well as PlayStation executables. Any gamepad SDL2 knows will do, and Alt+Return switches to full screen. Two Net Yaroze demos are included to try it.

Free, under the GPL; a 1 MB archive. No game and no BIOS included: without a BIOS from your own console, a built-in, less complete one takes over. Requires MorphOS 3.20 and SDL2.

MiniPage 0.5: reading Markdown, Gemini and the simple web

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:16:46+00:00

A double-clicked README.md opens with its headings, tables and pictures, and a github.com address goes straight to the project's README. Papiosaur releases MiniPage 0.5, a reader for text documents: Markdown files, Gemini pages and simple HTML pages, documentation, blogs or Wikipedia.

HTML pages keep their layout, columns, colours and boxes, and search fields and simple forms can be sent. MiniPage runs no JavaScript: for web applications, Wayfarer remains the tool. It keeps the text size, the start page and the Gemini certificates in its own drawer.

Free, a 1 MB archive. Requires MorphOS 3.20.

Lorraine 1.2: CD32 discs start, CD music included

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:15:34+00:00

The AMIGA CD32 logo appears, the CD light flickers and the disc's audio tracks play. Papiosaur releases Lorraine 1.2, his Amiga emulator written from scratch for MorphOS, which now emulates a CD32.

The Library gets a tab for CD images: ISO, CUE/BIN and CHD, even inside a RAR, 7z or ZIP archive. CDs made for the A1200 start on the A1200, and the numeric keypad stands in for the CD32 gamepad buttons. Lorraine also always leaves at least a fifth of the processor to MorphOS, even when a game asks for too much.

Free; a donation of 5 EUR or more unlocks the shipped screenshots. Kickstart ROMs, and the two CD32 ROMs for the CD32, are still to be supplied. Requires MorphOS 3.20 and sdl2.library for gamepads; a 75 MB archive.

Galene 1.0: breathing in time with a light

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:14:35+00:00

Above a lake at dusk, a light grows while you breathe in and shrinks while you breathe out. Papiosaur releases Galene 1.0, a heart coherence guide: six breaths a minute, for a few minutes, three times a day.

The rhythm goes from 4.5 to 7 breaths a minute, even during a session, and the duration from 3 to 15 minutes. Soft music that rises and falls with your breath, and a small bell, let you close your eyes; without AHI, the light is enough.

Free, a 112 KB archive. A relaxation aid, not a medical device. Requires MorphOS 3.20.

eDuke32 1.0: Duke Nukem 3D, Ion Fury and Shadow Warrior are back

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:13:16+00:00

Seven years after the previous port, the Build engine is back in service: Duke Nukem 3D and its add-ons, NAM, WWII GI, Ion Fury and, through voidsw, Shadow Warrior. BeWorld releases eDuke32 1.0, built from the August 2026 EDuke32 code, drawn with TinyGL or in software.

A MUI window opens at start-up to pick the game, the video mode and the graphics, audio and game settings, which one click carries over to the games of the same family. Each game keeps its saves and add-ons in its own drawer, and MIDI music plays through a SoundFont.

Game files are not included. Requires MorphOS 3.20 and sdl2.library 2.32; a 3 MB archive.

EdgeSnap 0.5: hotkeys your way, and an ARexx port

papiosaur — 2026-10-29T08:12:18+00:00

Ctrl+Alt+cursor not to your liking? Every hotkey can now be changed on the new Hotkeys page of the preferences, and the four quarters of the screen can get one of their own. Michele Dipace releases EdgeSnap 0.5, the commodity that tiles a window to half or a quarter of the screen when you drag it against an edge.

A key already taken or unknown to the system is refused with a requester, and changes apply as soon as they are saved, without a restart. New ARexx port EDGESNAP: a script, a dock button or a file manager can snap, restore or centre any window, picked by its title.

Still beta, released under the MIT licence; a 412 KB archive. The ARexx port needs an ARexx interpreter installed.

Morpho Coffee #2: Geit comes to the table

papiosaur — 2026-10-25T08:03:49+00:00

A surprise is in the works for MorphOS 3.21, one that “fills a 13-year-old hole”: Geit says so in the interview that opens the second issue of Morpho Coffee, the fanzine for MorphOS users made by Papiosaur.

Guido Mersmann, as he is really called, answers twenty-five questions, printed in full: his beginnings on a Busch 2090, life in the MorphOS Team, BoulderDäsh, VersatileDebug, and the 933 MHz PowerMac G4 he still uses every day.

The issue covers 27 September to 24 October: the Mirari board and its delay, six updated emulators, Heroes III and Aliens versus Predator, Easy2Install, and of course the crossword.

Free, in sixteen languages, to read in the browser or download as a PDF. Issue 1 is still available on the same page.
