Blog: Limitations of the HAM mode explained on the Hamulet engine
Recently, the developer of the game Hamulet - a demo version was included in issue 10 of the English-language Amiga magazine "WhatIFF?" - published a YouTube video that is intended to demonstrate as a proof-of-concept whether a puzzle or platform game could be feasible using the Hamulet engine in HAM and has the following features:
  • Large 8-way scrollable HAM screen with no visible fringing
  • Massive animated bobs (Blitter objects), the largest one being 144x170 pixels
  • Copper list to create a parallax effect of a "transparent" HAM screen, where the background sky gradient is visible and scrolls at a lower speed
  • Multiple animated sprites
  • Music by Virgill
  • Runs on Amiga 500, requires 1MB of chip
Appunti Digitali is an Italian website that deals with technology issues that the operators know or can judge from their own (professional) experience. The article now published under the title link deals with this video and the limitations of HAM. (dr)

Blog: Restoration of an Amiga 2500UX (AMIX)
In the past we have reported several times (1, 2, 3) about Commodore's Unix derivative AMIX. The two "official" Amigas on which Amix could run were the Amiga models 2500UX and 3000UX. Bo Zimmerman has bought an Amiga 2500UX on eBay, since it had been on his wish list for a long time. In his blog post under the title link, he now reports on his impressions and the restoration.
