New in this version:
  • Added a second list that displays the top tasks of the last 100 seconds in the PopWindow.
  • Now also displays the time a task has hogged the cpu in total in an extra column in the Top10 list.
  • The CPU load percentage of displayed Top10 tasks is now shown in the list title of the column.
  • Added help bubbles to all prefs gadgets.

A-EON: A1222 Early Adopter Programme started
At Christmas, A-EON had announced pre-order registration for the limited edition A1222 Plus Early Adopter motherboard would be possible soon, now it's happening: The announced 'AAA Bundle' can now be ordered at Amigakit for 115 Euros (99 GBP) - customers of this bundle can optionally request to be enrolled in the A1222 Plus Early Adopter programme and purchase one of the 100 motherboards available. The other initially described option - ordering an 'Early Adopter' motherboard via a 20% deposit - does not seem to be available yet.

Note from the staff: A-EON's Christmas press release lists "Enhancer Software 2.0" as part of the AAA Bundle. But the actual product description at the Amigakit store implies that (only) customers that qualify for the A1222 Early Adopter Programme will recieve a boxed edition of Enhancer 2.0. This way, the contents of the bundle would change depending on the time of purchase, and a customer would have no way of determining if he will recieve Enhancer 2.0 as part of his purchase or not.

Person Contact and Information Manager PerCIMan 0.7
Ulrich Beckers has updated his person contact and information manager PerCIMan which is available for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS (as well as Windows). In version 0.7 a birthday reminder was added.

Editor's note (dr): Please note that the AmigaOS 3.x version requires a graphics card. This is not mentioned in the Aminet readme and on the website of the author you can only conclude it from his line "Other requirements are low: A screen resolution of at least 820x820". In a previous mail to his program to measure times required to motor-react, R²Z, Ulrich Beckers stated that Hollywood programs requires a graphics card by default - except the Plananarame plugin is used. We have asked the author if he still tries to release versions supporting the AGA chipset as well. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Screenshot-Screenbar plugin 1.0
The latest Screenbar plugin for Ambient written by #amigazeux can save screenshots and offers a lot of options - e.g. the tool "can grab windows, entire screens or just a freely selectable portion of the screen", "can grab the mouse pointer too" and "can superimpose an editable text over taken screenshots". Additionally the tool includes "a built in paint program" for e.g. "drawing arrows pointing at different things." (snx) (Translation: dr)

Arcade classic: Bagman
Jean-François Fabre ported his SDL-based clone of the arcade classic Bagman to the Amiga, which required SDL libraries and thus a graphics card. Now a port is available which directly uses the chipset graphics of the Amiga.

Bagman requires 2 MB RAM, ECS and at least a 68020 processor. The source codes of the game which was written in C++ are available on Github. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: MiniGL for GL4ES
Daniel Müßener's MiniGL for GL4ES ("MiniGL4GL4ES"), which is available in a first alpha version, allows also users of Polaris graphics cards to play a lot of the MiniGL games under AmigaOS 4.

MiniGL is based on Warp3D which has never been adapted for Polaris graphics cards while the OpenGL implementation GL4ES is based on OpenGLES2 - written by the same author - which uses Warp3D Novas. Thanks to Hans de Ruiter it supports Polaris graphics cards.

But currently there is an important limitation: You should not run more than one MiniGL application simultaneously. You can find notes on known errors under the title link.

MIDI sequencer: Source code of "Horny" released
The source code of the MIDI sequencer "Horny" which was developed to 2003 to 2006 now is available under a free license on GitHub. The developer Timo Kloss wrote: "This code is so bad, I had to give up working on it. It's here for nostalgic and historical reasons only." The names of variables and functions are in German.

Kloss himself is not going to develop the program further but thinks it might be possible to remove the keyfiles checks and to provide some minor bug fixes by third parties. Originally Horny was written with StormC and due to porting it to AmigaOS 4 then adapted to GCC. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Beta version: Port of Raid over Moscow
A beta version of a port of the 8-Bit classic Raid over Moscow has been released. In three different game sections you have to face Russian aggressors preventing a nuclear attack on the United States.


The Amiga port is developed by Erik 'Earok' Hogan, the graphics are provided by Adrian Cummings, the soundtrack by Simone Bernacchia. Raid over Moscow should run on each Amiga equipped with at least 1 MB RAM but has not tested on real hardware yet. All elements of the original 8-Bit game have been already implemented but the programmer expects minor bugs or NTSC incompatibilities.

A manual still has not been published, the players are supposed to use the manual of the C64 version.

RTG driver: P96 2.4.4 (update)
The graphic card driver P96 has been updated. This is a free update for all those customers who has purchased the driver since the takeover by Individual Computers. It fixes a bug "when clearing the screen, which showed for example with the program Pagestream when used on a true-colour screen."

Update: (02.01.2020, 13:45, cg)

In contrary with our original news item, obviously the update is not available for free for all customers: Several of our readers have reported that the purchase of a P96 licence entitles the user to get free updates for only 12 months. Thus, if you have purchased P96 right after the takeover by Individual Computers, you again have to pay for version 2.4.4. (snx) (Translation: dr)

A-EON Technology: Pre-order registration for the A1222 Early Adopter Motherboard
In a press release only published on Facebook - the company's website is now even lacking all the old press releases from 2017 and earlier - A-EON is announcing its pre-order registration for the 'Early Adopter' motherboard of the A1222.

Press release:

A-EON A1222 Plus Limited Edition: pre-registration and special AAA bundle

A-EON Technology is pleased to announce pre-order registration for the limited edition A1222 Plus Early Adopter motherboard.

The Early Adopter release is based on the original Tabor motherboard which has been under extended beta test for the past four years. Due to obsolescence, several minor onboard components need to be replaced and A-EON, with assistance from its hardware developers, has commissioned the production of 100 motherboards for a limited manufacturing run. Hyperion Entertainment's developer & beta test teams are working on the updated AmigaOS 4.1 distribution, while the ExecSG team is optimising kernel performance for the A1222 Plus.

Each Early Adopter system will include a full AmigaOS 4.1 EA digital licence supplied by Hyperion Entertainment and have access to regular file and driver updates as soon as they become available. The A1222 Plus Early Adopter limited edition is available at a special low price of: GB£ 350, €400 or US$ 450*.

Triple-A fun for all

Building on Commodore's bundling tradition, A-EON Technology is releasing a special AAA pack to celebrate the A1222 Plus Early Adopter release. The AAA pack will include:
  • The new Enhancer Software V2.0 from A-EON Technology
  • "Amiga.org" mouse & mouse mat
  • "Personal Paint" for AmigaOS PPC and AmigaOS 68k
  • "ImageFX" for AmigaOS 3.x
  • A specially commissioned "AmigaSYS 35th Anniversary Edition"
  • Digital copy of the "Viva Amiga Extended Remix" movie as soon as it is released
  • Special "AAA display box"
  • An "A1222 Early Adopter certificate" (see option 1)
The AAA bundle is priced at: GB£ 100, €115 or US$ 128* (* plus postage and packing).

Securing your Limited Edition A1222 Early Adopter motherboard

To pre-register for the special Early Adapter package you have two options:

Option 1: AAA bundle purchase
Purchasing the AAA bundle will automatically reserve your option to purchase one Early Adopter motherboard on a first come first serve basis, subject to the number of AAA orders received.

Option 2: 20% pre-order deposit
A-EON will begin accepting orders for Option 1 from December 24th. Subject to availability, pre-orders for Option 2 will begin on January 7th 2020. The AAA packs will ship in January. The Limited Edition A1222 Plus Early Adopter boards are expected to ship around the end of the first quarter of 2020** (** subject to change).

AmigaOS 4: Financial management Lüttje Bookholler V1.70
The author Achim Pankalla wrote: "It is a easy to use personal finance program. "Lüttje Bookholler" is a german dialect and means "little accountant" and that is what you are, when using my little program. The program is capable to import account data via csv-import. LB is email-ware, if you want to use it permanent, please send me an email and you will get some advantages! for examples updates...".
Since version 1.40 at least AmigaOS 4.1 is required.

Mainly version 1.70 improves the "look and feel" of Lüttje Bookholler. For example shortcuts were implemented and you can move the toolbar so more information can be shown. The CSV import was reworked to meet new challenges and to improve stability and flexibility.

According to the author, Lüttje Bookholler is far from complete. He asks the users to report every bug as well as suggestions for new functions.

Developer: Chuck Peddle died
On 15. December the former Motorola and MOS-Technology developer Chuck Peddle died. In a team he developed the 6800 processor which in his opinion was much too expensive. Then he supervised the development of the cheaper 650x processors. He was one of the pioneers who forced the rise of the personal computer. (snx) (Translation: dr)

WinUAE Homepage (ANF)


Emulator: WinUAE 4.3.0
Version 4.3.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE has been released.

New features/improvements:
  • GUI high DPI support rewritten.
  • Lagless vsync stability improvements.
  • Added Trojan light gun preset to Game ports panel.
  • On the fly chipset model switching compatibility improved.
  • SPTI CD/DVD access mode now internally emulates all CD audio commands. All other commands are forwarded to the drive like previously.
  • PCMCIA hot swap support improved. (PCMCIA SRAM and IDE needs to be set again if previously configured)
  • My CPU tester detected edge cases, bugs and undocumented CPU behavior updates implemented. (More details in separate CPU tester note later)
  • More compatible partition HDF default geometry calculation if size is 1000M or larger.
  • CD32 pad does not anymore disable joystick second button if both CD32 and 2-button joystick is active simultaneously.
  • Host directory/archive drag and drop to WinUAE window now supports mounting multiple items simultaneously.
  • Debugger disassembler fixes and few very rarely used instructions dissemble now correctly.
Bugs fixed:
  • Disk index pulses were not being generated when disk was being written (Cadaver v0.1 save disk writing)
  • CDTV audio CD playing state restore fixed.
  • A2024 monitor didn’t show full viewable area.
  • 24-bit uaegfx RTG mode had random wrong color pixels in some situations.
  • nrg CD images didn’t load correctly in relative path mode.
  • Graphics glitch in some programs that also depended on display scaling/size (for example Alien Breed 3D)
  • Disk swapper path modifications did nothing while emulation was running.
  • Restoring CD32 or CDTV statefile with CD audio playing: start playing immediately, do not include normal CD audio start delays.
  • Fixed possible crash when PPC emulation stopped emulated sound card audio.
  • Quite special kind of CD32 pad button read code was not emulated correctly.
Other changes:
  • Added separate 68000-68060 CPU tester/validator project based on UAE CPU core generator.
  • Removed all 68020 cycle-exact CPU mode internal idle cycles. It mainly slowed down the CPU too much and didn’t match real world well enough.
New emulated hardware:
  • Archos Overdrive HD (PCMCIA IDE adapter)
  • ICD Trifecta (A500 IDE/SCSI controller)
  • M-Tec Mastercard (SCSI expansion for M-Tec T1230 A1200 accelerator)
  • Scala MM dongles
