`18.Dec.2025` Dirk Dierickx	Bootable Amiga emulator: AmiBootEnv 0.5.4 "AmiBootEnv" is a bootable Amiga emulation based on Debian Linux and the Amiberry emulator. In contrast to other options available for this task, AmiBootEnv's focus is on a lean and simple to install base emulation, on which the user has to install and configure his preferred AmigaOS versions and applications himself. The developer has released a video illustrating the installation process: first a current Debian Linux without an X Windows environment is installed, then AmiBootEnv is downloaded via wget and installed using a batch script. After rebooting the machine, you can now select in a graphical boot manager if you want to emulate an A500, A1200 or an AROS workstation. Other features of AmiBootEnv: Automatic mount / unmount of USB storage devices (available within emulation under "Volumes:"). Detects Greaseweazle floppy drives before starting emulation. Detects hard drives (both directories and native devices) before starting emulation. Integrates the rEFInd boot manager on UEFI systems to provide an Amiga boot selector. Includes a basic AROS system with Directory Opus for importing ROMs, ADFs, HDFs etc. from removable storage "The Amiga Way". (cg) [News message: 18.

`17.Dec.2025`	Linux: Driver for Mediator 4000 PCI bridge For owners of a Mediator 4000 PCI bridge who want to use their PCI slots under Linux, Daniel Palmer has written a driver whose source code can be reviewed on Kernel.org in the mailing list. The developer has already been able to use a network card that does not require DMA, but there are still difficulties with graphics cards. (snx) [News message: 17.

`16.Dec.2025` Retro Games Ltd	Rebirth: QuickShot II joystick with USB connection The legendary QuickShot II makes a comeback: The classic retro joystick is being reissued with a USB connection and is aimed at fans of Amiga, C64, and other 8/16-bit systems who use the A500 mini or emulators, for example. The design is closely based on the original, including a robust housing and classic stick layout, but has been redesigned for today's requirements and offers, among other things, microswitches for stick movements and fire buttons, as well as plug-and-play functionality on the USB port. The joystick is being developed by Retro Games Ltd and will be available from January 30, 2026, at a price of €34.99 from selected retailers. (nba) [News message: 16.

Once the work is complete, this should enable the use of modern hardware (post-2015) on AROS systems, representing a significant technological leap forward for the system. (nba) [News message: 16.
