Version 1.5 of Malibu, the Hollywood plugin which can be used to show Scala scripts, has just been released. Version 1.5 contains several bug fixes so that it's now possible to run the Scala games Beyond a Steel Sky and Adventure 2 by Quantum Code Monk with it. This makes it possible to play those games on your Nextgen Amiga, on Windows, macOS, or on Linux. Furthermore, starting with version 1.5 Malibu is now also available in a version for macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon). Malibu 1.5 is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with version 2.0 of the SID plugin for Hollywood. Once this plugin is installed, Hollywood will "automagically" be able to play SID files just like any other audio file. Version 2.0 is a major update which now uses completely different SID core. Version 1.x of the SID plugin was based on the rather outdated TinySID core whereas version 2 now uses the state-of-the-art cRSID replayer written by Hermit (Mihaly Horvath) which features a much more accurate SID emulation that also supports the RSID format (Real SID). Additionally, version 2.0 comes with several other new features like the possibility to set the SID model to emulate (6581 or 8580) and several convenience enhancements for users of Hollywood 10.
