`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.

`16.Dec.2025` Krzysztof 'deadwood' Smiechowicz	AROS: First experimental USB 3 support in Poseidon Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz has announced that USB 3 support for the Poseidon USB stack is in development by Nick 'Kalamatee' Andrews and that an initial experimental ISO is already available. 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.

`16.Dec.2025`	Software catalog: Vault for AmigaOS 4 Vault is a new application for AmigaOS 4 that functions as an AppStore-like catalog with installer invoke. The software is designed to make it easier to discover compatible software, similar to an AppStore interface, but specifically designed for the classic AmigaOS environment. To do this, the software accesses IntuitionBase. Vault is available on OS4Depot. (nba) [News message: 16. Dec. 2025, 14:22] [Comments: 1 - 17.

`15.Dec.2025`	AROS: Amiga emulator Amiberry v6.3.4 alpha for 64-Bit The WinUAE-based Amiga emulator Amiberry has been ported to AROS 64-bit in a first alpha version, giving AROS a modern emulator of its own. According to AROS developer Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz, despite its alpha status, the version is "actually functional and stable, especially for gaming/WHDLoad configurations". What is working: Emulation (yay!), JIT, cycle exact and "fastest possible" RTG: RTG/Z3 RAM needs at least 305MB of available address space (you can see it on RAM panel and set it as described with NATMEM_SIZE) Quickstart Display modes: Windowed, Fullscreen (limited to 800x600), Full-window, Filtering (Warning! Slow!) Sound (Don't go too low with buffer) Keyboard emulation and Joystick/pad: may not work on real hardware (depends on SDL2) WHDBoot What is not working: Drawbridge/Floppybridge Fullscreen lesser than and greater than 800x600 (use full-window, but it may be slow!) BSDSocket (sorry) Rescan ROMs on real hardware: rescan ROMs works on VM or Hosted and it is fundamental to use WHDBoot, if using real hardware you can rescan on hosted/VM before using it on real or follow this guide to manually copy roms with the right name Virtual Keyboard(?)

`15.Dec.2025`	Platformer: "Mad Santa" (AGA) Mad Santa by Dan 'zooperdan' Thoresen is a platform game written with the Scorpion Engine that turns the Santa Claus theme on its head: after countless years of delivering presents, the white-bearded man decides to put an end to it all, and he doesn't do it gently. The developer expressly asks that this game not be taken seriously and, given that it took four days to develop, that expectations not be set too high. An AGA Amiga is required.

`14.Dec.2025` Frank Neumann (e-mail)	Mutant Monty: Reprogramming of the Amstrad classic for the Amiga Mutant Monty is a reimplementation of the 1984 classic of the same name, which is still commercially available for the Amstrad CPC, C64 and ZX Spectrum. The Amiga game, modeled after the C64 version with more colorful and slightly modified graphics by Kevin 'Invent' Saunders and sound by Jochen 'Virgill' Feldkötter, was implemented by Frank 'CoBour' Neumann using the Scorpion engine. The source code is available on GitHub. (snx) [News message: 14. Dec. 2025, 07:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
