Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.16.3
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

Video tutorial: Further screen commands in AMOS
Following on from his last two videos about screen commands and especially the "Screen Copy" command, retro and Amiga fan 'Yawning Angel' shows more screen commands in the current part of his tutorial series about AMOS Pro, in particular how to scroll a screen, or rather part of a screen. As always, the source file for the programme shown in the video can be downloaded free of charge from his website.

SFX-Engine: Audio Mixer 3.6
Jeroen Knoester's Audio Mixer (YouTube video of version 2.0) allows real time mixing several samples onto a single channel (up to 4 samples on one channel), while maintaining high performance (3.7% CPU time for 4 samples mixed @ 11KHz on an standard 1MB A500) (amiga-news.de reported). Version 3.6 has several new features, such as a high quality mixing option that exchanges CPU time for higher quality sound, a plugin system so that effects can be added to samples that are being played (such as pitch changes), the ability to loop from any point in the sample rather than only the start and more.

AI assistant for Amiga development: "Amiga Guru"
Cameron Armstrong, author of the chat program AmigaGPT (amiga-news.de reported), has created a custom GPT based on the Amiga documentation so that it is much more accurate for Amiga development than the standard ChatGPT.
Since ChatGPT sometimes knows quite little about Amiga development (and therefore often gives wrong, albeit convincing, answers), he has created a custom GPT tailored to Amiga development.
It has been trained on the entire contents of all current editions of the official reference manuals, some third-party Amiga development books and all current documentation autodocs for AmigaOS 3.2 and 4.1.
Chatting with custom GPTs requires a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

DIY: "Joystick Reanimator" repairs micro switches using electric impulses
C64 fan 'GI-Joe' - a service technician in real life - has come across many faulty microswitches in his professional life. The silver-plated switching contacts of switches that only have to switch very low currents were often oxidized: the arcing that occurs at higher currents, which "cleans" the oxidizing contacts in a kind of self-cleaning function, does not occur at lower currents. Sooner or later, the electrical resistances become too high due to the oxidizing switching contacts, even though the switch switches mechanically perfectly.
