Jump'n Run: Smarty And The Nasty Gluttons
'Smarty And The nasty Gluttons' (Video) is a Jump'n Run that was intended for a commercial release in the early nineties but never finished due to the collapsing market. With help from members of the active Amiga scene, the original coder has now revamped his old code and added the missing functionality. Graphics and sounds had already been completed decades ago, which is why the full version of the game is now available for download.
'Smarty' requires an Amiga with at least one megabyte RAM and Kickstart 1.2 or newer. According to the developer, 'modest' efforts were put into making it compatable with newer Amiga setups. The source code for the game is going to be released this fall, a commercial release is planned aswell.

Reading Amiga disks on a PC: ADF Drive 1.110, ADF Copy 1.130
With the USB adapter 'ADF Drive' and its accompanying copy program 'ADF Copy', Amiga floppy disks can be read using a standard PC floppy drive under Windows, Linux or Mac OS. Since our last news item, both the adapter's firmware as well as the frontend were updated several times: Several bugs were fixed and the User Interface was redesigned. Additionally, the software can now react to packet loss caused by a slow USB connection. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Unreleased commercial game: 'Dragon Slayer' will be completed
'Dragon Slayer' is an arcade-adventure game similar to Barbarian (Psygnosis) in which the hero has to fight through hundreds of rooms in a fantasy setting. The game originally was meant to be released as commercial game in 1990 but was never completed.
Obviously one of the original developer is going to complete and release Dragon Slayer. The current state of the project is not clear, on the website of Indie Retro News there is an old excerpt of a magazine as well as a video with some scenes. In 1990 also a C64 port was planned of which for 30 years a playable preview has been available (video).

Desktop Publishing: RNO Publisher for all Amiga systems
'RNO Publisher' created with Hollywood is a simple DTP application: The user creates one-page or multi-page documents and there can place text boxes, pictures and other graphic objects as well as links - the result then is exported to a PDF file. An example PDF created with the program is available on the website of the developer.
The program has the following features:
- Supports the most common page sizes in portrait and landscape modes
- Freely placeable text boxes, images, PDF links, and graphical objects
- PDF links can point to document pages or web links
- Supports base fonts that don't affect the file size
- Custom TTF fonts can be embedded into documents
- PDF outlines (table of contents) support
- User creatable page templates
- PDF exporting supports passwords and compression options
- Constrained mouse movement and resizing using qualifier keys
- Additional document saving and loading in its own format
- Drag & drop loading of documents, pictures, and text files
RNO Publisher is available for AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, AROS and WarpOS. It requires the GUI-Toolkit MUI as well as the external MUI classes texteditor.mcc.

Arcade classic: Super Wormy - The Worm-Like Snake 1.1
Unlike many other games, the levels in "Super Wormy" (video) are bigger than the screen. Therefore the screen is scrolled and the player is informed about his position by a little radar. A level editor also is included.
Changes in version 1.1:
- Now seems to work fine on Kick1.3.
- Now seems to work fine on 1MB CHIP and 1MB FAST (Still recommend A1200 though as is slower on ECS).
- Changed music and sfx routines to idrougge's blitz lib from phx's player.
- Levels after 11 didn't change colour.
- Level reached wasn't stored if the game was completed.
- Level 14 was impossible, glad I wrote an editor!
- Outro was too fast.
- Created icons for SuperWormy and WormyEditor (Something I always forget to do!).

AmigaOS 4: X11 environment AmiCygnix 1.6
Edgar Schwan's AmiCygnix is an Unix environment for AmigaOS 4. It is not an emulation but all programs has been compiled for AmigaOS 4 (screenshot). AmiCygnix provides a directory and data structure similar to an Unix installation.
Additional to other changes, updates and bug fixes, now version 2.24.32 of GTK+ is used. Therefore future software packages will require AmiCygnix 1.6.
New in AmiCygnix-Base:
- Update to version 2.24.32 of GTK+, the latest version of GTK+ 2. In addition to some new features, the drag 'n drop in GTK+ 2 applications now finally works. The corresponding programs have to be linked again. Programs like Rox-Filer or Gimp benefit greatly from this. Therefore, please pay attention to updates of these programs!
- Full support for Unix locale strings. So you can now select the country, the encoding and special variants in addition to the language. You can also select multiple locales. All drivers, all AmiCygnix tools and the X server have been revised for this. See the documentation "README.Language.pdf" in the directory "Cygnix:Docs"!
- With the following display drivers for the Workbench, the size of the window can now be reduced: workbench, workbench2, picasso96wb, picasso96wb2. The content can then be moved using a scroller (screenshot). This function can be deactivated via myX11Setup!.
- Support for version 3.16.3 of GnuTLS, the latest version of the SSL/TLS layer. Support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.3 is new. The Trusted Certificates included have also been updated. Problems with programs like NetSurf or Claws-Mail should be solved with it. However, the corresponding programs must be relinked.
- Support for LDAP through OpenLDAP 2.4.49. Is now integrated in libcurl and will also be used in Claws-Mail.
- Support for AISS in the menus of the Workbench display drivers. The size of the icons can be set using the "MenuImageSize" environment variable.
- Revised myX11Setup with improved help function. Thanks to Michael Christoph!
- Italian translation updated in many AmiCygnix scripts. Thanks to Samir Hawamdeh!
- New Spanish translation of the texts in the Workbench display drivers. Thanks to Javier de las Rivas!
- New catalog in Russian language for myX11Setup. Thanks to Eugene Sobolev!
- Fixed a problem when starting the AmiCygnix desktop via myX11Setup.
New in AmiCygnix-Tools:
- All GTK+ 2 applications are now linked with GTK+ 2.24.32. In addition to some new features, the drag 'n drop now finally works.
- The browser "NetSurf" is now linked with the latest version 3.6.13 of the SSL/TLS layer GnuTLS. This fixes problems with SSL connections.
- The program "ROX-Filer" is configured during installation so that it can be used as a replacement for the "idesk" desktop manager. Even if the porting of the program has not yet been completed (functions such as "copy / delete file" do not work), it is now much more usable with GTK+ 2.24.32. Just try it ;-). Aftter installing the tools package, select ROX-Filer in myX11Setup under "Desktop Manager" for this.

Cloanto opposing registration of US trademark 'Amico'
As documented in the database of the US Patent and Trademark Office, Cloanto is opposing the registration of the trademark 'Amico' by Intellivision Entertainment LLC. since February. The US branch of the Italian software developer registered the 'Amiga' mark in the US in 2017 after the original owner Amiga, Inc. let the registration expire.
Intellivision Entertainment is the current user of the Intellivision trademark and plans to use the attention generated by the well-known brand name of Mattel's old console to release new gaming hardware called Amico. Promotion videos for the new console mostly feature (pseudo) 2D and retro inspired titles. Company head Tommy Tallarico is of italien heritage, the name of the new console is the italian word for 'friend'.
Approached by amiga-news.de, Mike Battilana (Cloanto, Amiga Corporation) explains that this opposition was requested "by a contractual partner", and that he had no option but to heed the request. Normally it would have been executed via the new Amiga company, but since Hyperion has not released their US oppositions, and this is a US case, it had to be filed under Cloanto. (cg)

Raspberry Pi in an Amiga: Network driver for A314
"A314" is an adapter board which helps putting a Raspberry Pi in an Amiga 500, 600 or 2000. Additional to applications like exchanging data with Linux (running on the Pi) or playing audio or video files under Linux, now also the network connection of the Pi can be used thanks to a new AmigaOS driver.
The SANA-II driver called a314eth.device has been tested with Olaf Barthel's commercial TCP stack Roadshow whether or not Ethernet or WLAN is used on the Linix site. Interested users have to compile the driver under Linux themselves, a binary release is not available yet.

WarpOS port of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (update)
Raven Software's Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is a 3D action game released in 2002. Its source code was released in 2013. The WarpOS port requires the level files of the commercial release. The developer warns against several bugs which still have not been fixed.
Update: (22.07.20, 21:30, cg)
In the German comment area a reader has pointed out that the game is not suitable for the original accelerator boards produced by Phase 5 due to the hardware requirements - it might be meant for G3/G4 based PCI cards in a Mediator-PCI busboard which are integrated by the sonnet.library into the system.

Self-made project: Connecting USB keyboards, mice and joysticks with USB2Amiga
USB2Amiga uses an Arduino Pro Mini and an USB Host Shield as well as a Level-Shifter (3,3V to 5V) in order to provide an adapter for connecting USB devices to any Amigas. Main target platform is the CDTV: Mice and keyboards are working yet, joysticks still have not been tested.
For any additional device (mouse, joystick, keyboard ) another USB2Amiga adapter is required. Implementing a Hub is not planned for this would complicate the code of Arduino. Step by step all Amiga models will be supported, only connecting external keyboards to an A600 or A1200 will not be possible due to the different keyboard protocols of these computers.
USB2Amiga will be released under the GPL, the Git archive of the archive will be mirrored also on Github.

Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.28 released
Thomas Wenzel wrote: After extensive testing, the new version of AmigaAMP now is ready for an official release. Mainly bugs have been fixed.
In the 68k version now Bebbos GCC 6.5 is used which now again produces correct Non-FPU-Code. Therefore AmigaAMP again works on an unexpanded 68020. The support for the sndfile.library was implemented again, so classic sound files (AIFF, WAV, 8SVX) can be played. As usual first of all the new version is available on the homepage of AmigaAMP, later also on Aminet.

Amiga floppy reader: ADF-Copy 1.104 supporting Flux-Level
Dominik Tonn wrote: "ADF-Copy is a small hardware i developed which uses a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller to read and write non copy protected Amiga disks with an out of the box PC 3.5" Floppy drive connected to the microcontroller which can be build with a few jumper wires on a breadboard with no additional component. The low level stuff is handled in the microcontroller which is controlled by a Java application."
Similar to Greaseweazle or Kryoflux, the latest versionen of the software now also can read disks at flux level and therefore also can read copy-protected disks.
According to the author "writing is not yet implemented". In flux format a track is bigger than the RAM of the micro controller. Therefore the data have to be transferred "on-the-fly". It is supposed to be saved saves in SuperCardPro Format.

Media player: EaglePlayer 2.06
EaglePlayer is a media player for the Amiga playing a lot of audio formats (MP3, AIFF, MOD...). The program has been available for many years and still is being updated. Version 2.06 provides many minor improvements and a new "Skin" for the user-interface of the program. Besides diverse bugs have been fixed:
- some more 68000 related fixes (some plugins are still 68020+)
- 14 Bit Amplifier: significant audio quality improvements
- automatic limitation to 28 kHz sampling rate on OCS and when
non doublescan display modes are detected
- way better defaults for the 14 bit table for uncalibrated systems
(previous default was closer to 13.5 Bit - like AHI)
- fixed 14 bit table for calibrated setups: the C. Buchner
quantization approach was wrong, resulting in unnecessary artifacts
- fixed transition delay from one song to another
- added optional noise shaping for 16-14 bit conversion (060 or faster)
- adjusted default volume for filtered mixing modes
- support for stereo 14 bit calibration
- Amiga1200 autodetection with appropriate adjustment for the "highboost"
equalization filter (A600 and A1200 have a different audio filter
compared to the other Amiga models)
FFT Analyzer
- whole new set of new display modes in High and True color P96 RTG
(using AMMX acceleration, if detected/available )
internal sine/cosine table instead of math libs due to
broken mathtrans/mathffp libraries
MPEG Audio (i.e. .mp2/.mp3)
- automatically select freqdiv=2 in 8 Bit output mode
(i.e. when neither of 14 Bit/Pamela/AHI/Toccata Amplifier are active)
preliminary UTF-16 support for Moduleinfo and ID3TagV2
Moduleinfo
Playerloader
- 68000 fixes and sanity checks for some tests to avoid
enforcer hits (e.g. tronic)
renamed some eagleplayers for more resilience against
broken unarchiver tools (replacing spaces with underscores in
filenames)
better check for MP3 files with certain ID3v2 header versions
AIFF file detection improvements (AIFC)
Patternscroll
- P96 RTG support: colorful and faster scrolling, color bars in 16/24 bit
Protracker
- fixes for some tightly looping modules in cases where "song end"
detection is disabled (thanks to Gerben van K. for the report)
fix for some broken Protracker modules which work with VBlank timing
only
AIFF
- ADPCM support added (standard IMA4, Tavenard's ADP4)
Manager
Pamela Amplifier
- 16 Bit audio output plugin for Vampire V4
QuillUI
- truecolor user interface for big screens (>800x600) as homage to
a certain movie series
TFMX_Pro player by Don Adan included

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.7.17
RedPill developed by Carlos Peris is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which can help developing games of diverse genres - see our little review of two games. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast RAM.
Changes in version 0.7.17:
- The frame control system has been redone, now it is faster and smoother.
- In Audio screen, after playing a sound the duration in seconds of the sound is displayed.
- FIX: After deleting an object in the level, there was a freeze.
- FIX: games using sound effect were suffering slowdowns.

The 100% useless AROS distribution version 0.2
By releasing version 0.2 according to the author Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow his AROS distribution "it's only 99% useless". His version is based on AROS64 before SMP was added.
The author wrote: "I added some more programs, (not only my own) the FP-IDE does work, but sadly the compilation still crash, so you have to use the shell to compile. I even got the network to work and MUIMapparium shows the map nicely and search also works".

C-A Acquisition Corp. renamed to Amiga Corporation
In 2019 Mike Battilana (Cloanto) founded the C-A Acquisition Corp. and transferred the trademarks, copyrights and Internet domains he had acquired from Amiga, Inc. to this company. So far, amiga.com didn't show anything worth mentioning, but now several Amiga-related logos and a note that these brands are registered trademarks of "Amiga Corporation" have been added to the site.
Approached by amiga-news.de, Mike Battilana confirms that "C-A Acquisition Corp." was renamed to "Amiga Corporation" but that it would remain discreet ("low profile will continue") until the [legal] issues are sorted out. He says the company is not completely inactive though, amongst other things it has been placing full-page advertisements in Amiga Future for more than a year.
Battilana pointed out to a Twitter thread which can be used for directly asking him questions about Amiga Corporation or his plans for the Amiga.

Changes in Hyperion's Management
Last summer, distribution of Hyperion's shares drastically changed when the
company issued a capital
increase: New shares were issued to pay debts of nearly 400000 Euros owed
to Ben Hermans - allegedly for the latter's work as the company lawyer.
As a result of this, the other shareholders - in additon to Timothy de
Groote, who is mentioned in public documentation, Trevor Dickinson, Costel
Mincea and the Frieden Brothers are said to own shares - now
collectively own less then three percent of the company.
Shortly after that, Costel Mincea handed
over (German) his AmigaOS 4 centric forum
os4welt.de to a third party and resigned from his post as a director
("besturder") of Hyperion. The latter was not communicated publicly by either
Mincea or Hyperion at the time, but with quite a bit of a delay the change in
management is now recorded in Belgium's official company register (KBO,
Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen): Only Timothy de Groote is listed
as a "Besturder" for Hyperion now, the request
to have Costel Mincea removed as a director (PDF, Dutch) is available as well.
de Groote himself had increased his number of shares during the 2019 capital
increase - albeit only by a very tiny amount, compared to Hermans' mass
of additional shares. Now the author of the
Amiga documents report claims
on Twitter that Ben Hermans sued de Groote last November, a claim that is
confirmed to amiga-news.de by a second source.
The results of this legal battle are currently unknown. There are unconfirmed
rumours that Timothy de Groote, who was still representing Hyperion at the
Amiga 34 last October, resigned from his post as a director in the
meantime and is only listed in that position until a replacement is found. So far
we were unable to either verify or dispel these rumours.
