Do it yourself: Adapter for up to three external floppy drives (incl. Gotek)
The "Amiga-external-3x-FDD" adapter allows you to connect up to three external floppy drives, of which one can also be emulated (Gotek SFR1M44-U100 or SFR1M44-U100K). Both unmodified 1.44 MB PC 3.5" drives and those that have already been adapted for the Amiga can be used.

Amiga40: Insights into the upcoming AmigaOS 3.3
The AmigaOS development team has announced that the new AmigaOS 3.3 will be released in 2026. At Amiga40, developer Camilla Boeman took to the stage to present the new features of the upcoming version for 68k Amigas. Many new features have already been completed, including AmigaGuide with title bars and improved links, and a new HD partitioning program called PartitionEdit, which is designed to make partitioning data carriers much easier. A new Prefs tool will combine eight old Prefs and centralize the settings. Furthermore, the menu and the information requester are to be improved, and IconAssist is to be introduced for exchanging icons. Screen gadgets such as clocks and other extensions are firmly planned, and a new Moonlight icon set will also be included. In addition, AmigaShell windows will be equipped with a scroll bar and tabs. The release of AmigaOS 3.3 is planned for sometime next year – "when it's done".

Crowdfunding: SDL2 or even SDL3 for AmigaOS/68K & WarpOS (update)
At the title link, Kymon 'z!Erec' Zonias is soliciting donations for a port of the SDL2 (Simple DirectMedia Layer) multimedia library for AmigaOS/68k and WarpOS - the minimum goal for this has already been almost reached at the time of publication of this news item. If funding exceeds that amount, extras such as SDL3 and additional libraries (SDL2_mixer, SDL2_image, SDL2_net, MiniGL integration) may also be possible. Steffen 'MagicSN' Häuser has agreed to carry out the work.
The reason for this is that many open source games now require SDL2 - however, only SDL 1.2 is currently available for AmigaOS/68k and WarpOS. If crowdfunding is successful, the developer also wants to look into porting Stratagus immediately afterwards.
Update (October 21, 2025, 8:42 p.m., nba):
The crowdfunding goal has already been reached, and the development of SDL2 for AmigaOS 3.x is now financially secure. According to organizer Kymon Zonias, porting has already begun. The goal has been increased to 1200 Euro and currently stands at 1600 Euro. For every additional 100 Euro raised, an additional SDL2 library will be added: mixer, gfx, sound, image.

Feasibility study: AMOS game GhostLight
In his latest video, matching the season, Robert Smith explains how he wrote the AMOS game GhostLight, which is also available with source code. In the game, you move through a maze in which you find matches to light your way. If your match goes out, the ghosts return, which you have to avoid.
The challenge of this feasibility study was - in addition to the algorithms for generating the maze and controlling the ghosts - to make only a moving part of the maze visible and to create a brightness gradient in the peripheral area.

AmigaOS 4: Video editing with VideoClipper 2.6
VideoClipper is a program for cutting and optionally joining various video files (using ffmpeg) while converting the files to a common format. During converson several adjustments (video effects) can be made to the individual files, e.g. adjusting brightness, contrast, gamma. You can also add a subtitle and audio file to the joined video.
The new version 2.6 includes enhancements to help speed up encoding. MPlayer v1.5 is now supported as well as .ass format subtitle file encoding. Many other user requested enhancements and a few bug fixes are included. Developer Kevin 'ktadd' Taddeucci welcomes any feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Ola 'sodero' Söder's InstallerLG is a reimplementation of the "Installer" tool that came with AmigaOS version 2.1 and later. InstallerLG aims to be fully compatible with the original and to remove most of the resource limitations of the Commodore implementation. The GUI has been replaced by an MUI/Zune-based one (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.0.4 provides the following changes:
- AROS x86_64 support.
- AmigaOS4 version built with Newlib to reduce binary size.
- Version requester shown when started as a tool from Workbench.
- (getversion) bugfix.

AROS: Current status of development of the 64-bit version
In a post on the AROSWorld forum, Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz reports on the goals that have been achieved in the three areas of browser/software/hardware in terms of the development plan and the current status of the 64-bit version of the AROS operating system.
During the summer months, the focus was mainly on the software side. Eleven new software packages for 64-bit were uploaded to the archives. In addition, the core system received two updates with several bug fixes as well as updated and new components. These updates are now released every 2-3 months, bringing the latest developments to the user community.
In addition to the software mentioned above, work began on two major software products this quarter: Amiberry and RetroArch.
For the last quarter of the year, the developer plans to focus on providing more software for 64-bit AROS. This will be achieved by supporting other developers in porting or recompiling software, but also by releasing a first version of the ABIv0 emulator, which is specifically designed for software that cannot be recompiled for 64-bit AROS.
The long-term outlook remains unchanged, as reported in July.

Turn-based strategy: "Citizen Happiness Update I" for "Settle the World"
Christian Wiegel writes: "With this update, the citizens of a city begin to react to the supply of finished goods and the availability of required buildings. If the supply of finished goods is insufficient, the citizens become unhappy. Unhappy citizens can strike at production buildings, thereby partially shutting down a city's goods production. In the worst case, if unhappiness is very high, citizens may even leave a city and, with a bit of bad luck, roam the countryside as bandits.
