Amiga show: "Amiga 40" on October 18 and 19, 2025
As announced by the organizers at a1k.org (registration required, German), the next edition of “Amiga xx” will take place on 18 and 19 October 2025 at Kunstwerk - das rote Krokodil in Mönchengladbach-Wickrath, admission is from 10 a.m. each day. Some details about the event have already been communicated by the organizers:
  • 2 levels: below the exhibitors, above the stage plus some additional tables - whereby the upper area is open and not a separate room
  • Almost 120 tables are available
  • Catering will be provided by the Kunstwerk, on-site payment for food and drinks will only be possible by card and not in cash. In exceptional cases, however, we will help at our cash desk in the entrance area
  • Maximum number of visitors per day limited to just under 1000 people (for Amiga37 and Amiga38 there was a maximum of 850 people)
  • Free parking spaces
  • Shopping facilities in the vicinity
Ticket sales are scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2025, as usual via the show's own ticket store. There will again be individual tickets for Saturday and Sunday, as well as discounted tickets for both days. In addition, around 20 user tables will again be offered for all those who want to present their Amigas and more non-commercially and contribute to the diversity of the event. There will also be some after-show tickets or all-in tickets and free tickets for all guests up to the age of 16. Exact prices are not yet known.

Registrations for commercial exhibitors will be possible from the end of the year - if you are interested, please send a message to info@amigaevent.de. A table for commercial exhibitors for both days will cost between 75,- Euro and 80,- Euro plus VAT.

Similar to the Amiga 38, a "Community Award" and an "Aftershow Party" - i.e. an evening event - are also planned, but there is no information on this yet.

The main sponsor will once again be A-Eon (Trevor Dickinson). It is hoped that further supporters from the commercial sector can be announced shortly. In addition, support is once again being sought in all areas: From sponsorship to support with planning and realization to on-site staffers - technicians for a "repair corner" are also being sought. Potential supporters are also asked to contact info@amigaevent.de. (cg)

Trevor's Blog: Another one bites the Dust!
Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology published a new article in his "Trevor's Blog" yesterday. In it he gives an outlook on the numerous Amiga events already announced for the coming year, but also looks back on this year's Amiga meetings.

He also announces a new batch of "A1222 Plus" boards. He wrote: "In other good news, with the A1222 Plus selling relatively well, A-EON and AAA Technology have commissioned another batch of motherboards. The deposit has been paid, and production is underway, with delivery expected in the early New Year." (dr)

German print magazine: ASM (Aktueller Software Markt), issue 12/24
Press release: After the great success of the german ASM revival issue 3/23, the editorial team is now upping the ante: this year's issue of german ASM ("Aktueller Software Markt"), number 12/24, has now been published and can now be ordered from amigashop.org. The current magazine offers a comprehensive overview of the new retro releases from summer 2023 to autumn 2024, taking into account the classic computer systems from A for Amiga to Z for ZX Spectrum, in over 40 tests for a total of 12 different computer systems.

What else is there in the new edition of ASM?
  • Manfred Kleimann didn't miss the opportunity to write the foreword again - he also fought the Great London Fire of 1666 again, while Martina Strack helped the lemmings again after 30 years and Klaus 'Cruiser' set sail on the Paradroid deck cleaned up.
  • Big thanks also go to Torsten Oppermann, who met with Chris Hülsbeck and Julian Eggebrecht for ASM to talk about old and new times and let us share in them.
  • Clem Chambers, head of the famous software company CRL, talks about what it was like to run a software company in the 80s and what he did afterwards.
  • Michael Kafke tells us pretty much everything about the ASM adventure, Stefan Vogt chats about the details and introduces us to Hibernated 2 (while we take a closer look at his masterpiece "The Ghosts of Blackwood Manor").
  • The reader survey from the last issue will be resolved, there will be a programming competition (again...) and one or two surprises.
  • And of course all the sections from the last issue are back on board, as is Donald Bug, who is letting go of all his clothes this time...

Universal PCI driver system: OpenPCI 11.2
Thomas 'Thor' Richter's universal PCI driver system "OpenPCI" supports without recourse to the software of the respective manufacturer all known PCI solutions for the Amiga. The current version includes the following changes:
  • GetBoardAttrs() and SetBoardAttrs() could loop forever on unknown tags, the end marker for the known tags was incorrect.
  • The PCI BAR register parser did not compute the parity correctly for some boards.
  • Two new tags were added for GetBoardAttr(), namely PRM_PCIMemWindowLow and PRM_PCIMemWindowHigh, which provide the PCI address range available for a device at config time, or the PCI address range a device is mapped into later. These are PCI addresses, not 68K addresses.
  • SetBoardAttr() can now write PRM_MemorySizeX and PRM_MemoryFlagsX at config time to dynamically size PCI devices. This is useful for tools called from within the PCI-Configuration file.
  • Fixed a missing register initialization when unloading tools from LIBS:PCI.
  • Added example source code for an init tool for sizing PCI devices dynamically.
  • Fixed the description of the autoconf vendor IDs in the autodoc file.

AmigaKit: Apparently modified A1200 mainboard planned
At the title link, AmigaKit shows photos of selected areas of a mainboard that is very similar to that of the Amiga 1200, but shows changes in detail:
  • USB ports where the external floppy disk drive used to be connected
  • moved connectors for the internal floppy disk drive and its power supply, possibly to make room for a new external floppy disk drive connector
  • Connections for the hard disk and fan power supply where the parallel port used to be located
  • Changes to the keyboard connector area, possibly to replace the original keyboard controller
  • CompactFlash connector instead of the PCMCIA connector

Case study: Using the Scorpion engine for porting Ghosts 'n Goblins to the Amiga
A noteworthy case study shows how Ghosts ‘n Goblins can be ported to the Amiga using the Scorpion engine. Developer Skyzoo73 presents a playable demo of the first level with AGA graphics in 64+16 colours. He was supported by IM76 (music conversion, from 6 to 4 channels) and Griffon (additional help). The port contains many classic elements of the original arcade game, including zombies, platforms, magical transformations and hidden bonuses.

The demo already includes game-mechanical details such as checkpoints, a countdown timer and various death animations. Despite some missing or faulty enemy animations, the progress is remarkable. The port impressively demonstrates the potential of the Scorpion engine for the development of new Amiga games. (nba)

Game: Update for Star Dust Wars - Director's Cut
The Electric Black Sheep team has submitted an update for the game "Star Dust Wars - Director's Cut" (amiga-news.de reported).

The T-Fighters' collisions with obstacles were corrected and a bug in the menu was fixed. The keys F1 to F10 and 0 to 9 can now also be used to control the volume of the music and sound effects. In addition, a simplified "engine" with fewer calculations has been integrated to improve performance on Amigas with slower CPUs.

Star Dust Wars - Director's Cut ideally requires an Amiga 1200 with a hard disc, accelerator card and Fast RAM, and can be downloaded in return for a voluntary donation. (nba)

A festive arcade game: Santatron 2024
John Girvin recently attracted attention with the AmiGameJam winner ‘Rogue Declan’. Now he is adding something sweet to the festive season: he is publishing the cute Amiga game "Santatron 2024", which is also part of the coverdisk of the latest "Amiga Addict" magazine.

In this festive arcade shooter, the player takes on the role of Santatron, who must save Christmas from the commercial terror. Santatron shoots his way through his Christmas cave, taking out toys and gingerbread men taken over by the AI, freeing his loyal Christmas elves and collecting power-ups and presents. With varied level design, an atmospheric soundtrack and a pretty 2D retro charm, Santatron 2024 brings nostalgic Christmas spirit to the Amiga.

The game runs on classic Amiga systems (OCS) with at least Kickstart 1.3, 512 MB Chip RAM and 512 MB other RAM, and can also be played on more modern systems with AGA, even in emulation.

Santatron 2024 is available as a free download, but voluntary donations are gladly accepted. The executable ADF and a matching disk label are offered for download. (nba)

Game remake: Extreme Violence 2 V0.10
'pixelplop' is currently developing a successor to the shareware game Extreme Violence, released by Simon Green in 1993, for this year's AmiGameJam. The new game supports four instead of just two players (a-news.de bamiga-news.de reported). In the current version 0.10, several new features have been added and changes have been made since our last report.

A summary of the changes:
  • Fixed potential crash when in Frontend on some systems.
  • Fixed crash on exit.
  • Fixed Loading Screen and Frontend Menus running too fast.
  • Fixed big graphical glitches when the map preview scrolls on and off.
  • A lot of restructuring to try and make the game more system friendly
  • If a player gets several kills in quick succession an announcer will say "EXTREME"!
  • AI Bots should be able to correct themselves if they get stuck going around in circles for a while.
  • 1 line fix that stops the game crashing if there are no AI players!!!
  • AI will attempt to dodge incoming bullets.
  • Improvements to the AI path finding.
  • Players should no longer be able to get walled in when level generates.
  • Enabling the Extra Joysticks should not crash the game when temporarily re-enabling the system.
  • Radar dots are now the correct colours for all players in horizontal split.
  • Option to turn on/off permanent blood splats.
  • Option to turn on/off spectating other players until after all human players are out.
Extreme Violence 2 requires an Amiga with an OCS chipset and 1 MB Chip RAM and can be downloaded in return for a voluntary donation (longplay of v0.9 of the Author himself). (nba)
