`22.Sep.2022`	Unofficial successor: "It Returned From The Desert" for Windows Tim Rachor's "It returned from the desert" (YouTube video of the early prototype) is supposed to be an unofficial successor of the Amiga game It came from the desert and is supposed to be released for Windows, maybe also for Linux and possibly Android if there is enough demand. The game is written in Unity and is not supposed to be a sequel or remake, but an independent game. The gameplay is to be modernized a bit, offering fewer dead ends, thus avoiding tough trial&error. And the combat mini-game is to be replaced by tactical, turn-based combat - while retaining the great atmosphere and exciting story of the original. As Tim writes to us, he spent endless hours sitting at a friend's house as a kid enjoying this game. Even then, however, the many dead ends frustrated him, so he wanted to make it better with his game: more beginner-friendly, respectively fairer. The goal is to finish the game in the course of this year. And if someone should find a way to port the finished game to the Amiga, he would be happy to give his permission, provided that the quality is maintained. But he has neither the know-how nor the time to do it himself. (dr) [News message: 22. Sep. 2022, 10:23] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`15.Sep.2022`	Connector board for FPGA Amiga clone: MiSTress 600 After the currently sold out versions for the installation of the FPGA Amiga clone MiSTer into an Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 or ITX/Micro ITX PC-, 8bits4ever today officially introduced a conversion kit for the Amiga 600 as well. As with other MiSTress models, the original Amiga 600 keyboard can be used as a regular USB HID device, and the case LEDs light up just like the MiSTer's. As the site writes, this first batch will take about 5-6 weeks to be ready for shipping. The introductory price is 135 Euros plus shipping. Among other features, the MiSTress 600 has a hub with five USB ports, RGB/VGA DB15 connector, RCA stereo audio (with selectable I2S DAC), two DB9 joystick connectors (SEGA Megadrive compatible), and an internal 2.5-inch drive bay. The keyboard controller has an extended keyboard layout, which gives access to most of the keys you would find on a normal 104-key keyboard, and which are otherwise missing on the Amiga 600 key set.

`13.Sep.2022` Amiga.org (forum)	AmigaKit: Switchless floppy boot selector British dealer AmigaKit offers a switchless boot-selector for the Amiga 500 or 2000 floppy drives at the title link: Pressing Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga for five seconds makes DF1 the boot drive, while the original DF0 is switched off. Pressing the key again reverses this. (snx) [News message: 13. Sep. 2022, 15:04] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
