DOpus5 just got native ARM64 (aarch64) support for AROS builds. Now that AROS runs on RPI devices natively, I thought I'd expand the support for the projects I maintain to include it. :) The next release will come with a native ARM build for AROS as well.

While testing the ZZ9000 for things like hardware-accelerated mp3 playback (MHI) and RTG correctness, I ended up finding bugs that were not caused by my implementations, but the upstream apps themselves. So, an MHI bug in Hippoplayer got fixed and a new P96 bug was reported to Jens today.

Now that we have stable FW/Drivers for the ZZ9000, it's time to start working on the most interesting part: native library to accelerate common operations using the second ARM core. Datatypes, mp3 players, C2P operations, are just some of the things that can benefit from this. #Amiga
