07.Oct.2024 MOD player: rePlayer for Windows
If you are looking for an MOD player for Windows (and other systems), you already have a good choice: in addition to NostalgicPlayer, there are the online players Pixeltune or Bassoontracker, for example.

Now Arnaud Neny has released another alternative for Windows 10/11 with rePlayer, which, as he writes, he originally started developing specifically to be able to play Amiga music formats.

Although, he continues, as listed above, there are already some alternatives, but as a passionate collector it would have started to become very annoying to keep up to date with newer songs by an artist, watch out for song duplicates and also have some missing playback functions.

So he started writing his own player, initially to play standard modules from the Amiga, using ImGui (for the interface), OpenMPT (to play Amiga modules) and libcurl (to handle the downloads from the web pages). He then added more playable formats, as well as a way to handle databases. In addition, rePlayer can also be used to play modern formats such as mp3, wav, ogg, etc. (dr)

Arcade game: GoGoGo
After Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch recently published a demo version of his game "Ami Robbo 2", which is currently in development (amiga-news.de reported), the next release is already following: in "GoGoGo" (YouTube video) you drive in a car scrolling sideways and have to duck from ghosts or jump over obstacles and collect energy and points. Over the course of the second game, the car drives faster and faster. The game starts in black and white, but can be coloured by pressing the C, O and L buttons simultaneously:

The game runs on any Amiga and is available free of charge. (dr)

06.Oct.2024 Black Amiga keycaps from A1200.net available in stores
The black Amiga keycaps from A1200.net are now also available at other dealers, e.g. Alinea or Amigastore; previously they were only available directly from the manufacturer. The caps are designed to fit all common Amiga models with the exception of the Amiga 1000 and are available in DE and US layouts.

The keycap sets contain a total of 108 caps, additional springs and key stabilizers. In addition to the 96 regular caps, there are special keys, for example a short space bar for the Amiga 600 or ISO and ANSI return keys. (snx)

Discord (ANF) Emu68: Imager Tool V1.0 released
The Emu68 Imager is a utility for Windows 10/11 to allow PiStorm users to easily prepare an SD card with Emu68 (amiga-news.de reported) and a basic pre-configured AmigaOS 3.1, 3.2 or 3.2.2.1 installation, and will allow you to partition the card based on sizes you can define.
