Hyperion Entertainment: AmigaOS 3.1.4 released
As reported, Thomas 'Thor' Richter and Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel have been working on an update of Commodore's AmigaOS 3.1. Today it has been released - please find below Hyperion Entertainment's official press release:
Brussels, October 30, 2018 - Hyperion Entertainment CVBA is highly pleased to announce the release of AmigaOS 3.1.4 as the biggest upgrade since the days of AmigaOS 3.5 and 3.9.
The new, cleaned-up, polished Amiga operating system for your 68K machine fixes all the small annoyances that have piled up over the years. Originally intended as a bug-fix release, it also modernizes many system components previously upgraded in OS 3.9.
Contrary to its modest revision number, 3.1.4 is arguably as large an upgrade as OS 3.9 was, and surpasses it in stability and robustness. Over 320K of release notes cover almost every aspect of your favourite classic AmigaOS - from bootmenu to datatypes.
AmigaOS 3.1.4 is available as immediate purchase from our direct download section [at the title link] as digital download and will be available shortly as physical set of 3,5" floppy diskettes and machine specific ROM(s).
Hyperion Entertainment CVBA wants to use this opportunity also to thank the great team of developers, testers, translators and other helpers for all their hard work during the recent months. Without them this release would not have been possible. (snx)

Web browser: NetSurf 3.8 (SDL version)
About two weeks ago Artur Jarosik as released an update of his Amiga port of the web browser NetSurf. His port is based on SDL, only the preferences pane is based on MUI, and is not to be confused with the Chris Young's native, Reaction-based version.
Notice of the editorial: The AGA version 3.8 does not run on the Amiga 1200 equippd with Blizzard-1230 accelerator board of our editor Daniel Reimann - it crashes with Guru-Meditation (80000008). According to the developer the M68060-compiler-switch he did use is not compatible with a 68030 processor with 68881-FPU. Besides, the auto update for the AGA version is broken and therefore has to be downloaded from the title link.

Chip-RAM extension: ACE2 by Individual Computers
For a few weeks Individual Computers has been offering "ACE2". This extension adds two Megabyte Chip-Ram to most of the OCS/ECS-Amiga. Because the board contains two components which are not available any more - the 2MB ECS-Agnus-Chip and a PLCC84 adapter socket - the producer has chosen a "progressive pricing model": The lower the availability of ACE2 the more the price increases. The first price was 120 Euro meanwhile it costs about 130 Euro. The maximum price will be 170 Euro.
Hint of the editorial stuff: On the ACE2 a NTSC version of Agnus is used. This one can be switched between the PAL and NTSC mode but always starts in NTSC mode. Therefore this extension was mainly made for users with upgraded Amigas - while booting from disk under Kickstart 1.3 you cannot change the mode so easily.

Connecting old joysticks to the PC: Arananet Joystick adapter
The Spanish shop Arananet offers an adapter which connects a retro joystick to an USB port of a common PC. No additional drivers are needed because the adapter registers to the host PC as simple USB device. Autofire is supported (if your joysticks allow it). A Spanish review of the adapter you can find on "Commodore Spain".

Jump'n Run: Trap Runner
After Solid Gold, "Trap Runner" (Video) is the second game which the brothers Frank and Gerrit Wille has released. Again it is a Jump'n Run, this time based on the classic game Mario Brothers. Trap Runner offers 5 different worlds each with 4 and one bonus level, a boss at the end of the level as well as some hidden levels.
The player can jump and run but also duck and can activate special skills by collecting pills or magic potion. Besides there are many items to be collected for improving health, getting an extra life or finishing the level.
Trap Runner runs on each Amiga with at least one Megabyte RAM. The game has been developed over seven months and released last weekend at the Function party in Budapest. It is considered to release a commercial collector edition if there is sufficient interest.

A1200: Triple LED Adapter on Amigakit
On Amigakit a A1200 Triple LED adapter is available which can be used as replacement for the original component in the Amiga 1200. While purchasing it you can choose a colour for each of the three LEDs as well as for the replacement LED (red, green, yellow).

Web browser: Netsurf 3.8 (Reaction)
The web browser Netsurf - and also Chris Young's Reaction-based Amiga port - is available in version 3.8. The (cross-platform) changes "feature some page layout improvements, stability and security improvements, and some minor additional features". The port for AmigaOS 4 is available on the official download site. Test builds for AmigaOS 3 are offered separately - but here the support for SSL/TLS is broken. Young asks for your help to fix it.
On request of amiga-news.de Artur Jarosik, who is developing the SDL version for AmigaOS3 (amiga-news.de reported), said that he also is going to release a new version soon.

Free hardware: Replica of daughter board of A4000
Recently two projects were dealing with the replica of the mainboard of the Amiga 4000. Now documents are available on Github which provide all information for the self-construction of the daughter board carrying the Zorro slots.
The board layout was "made from ground using the A4000 original schematics". Compared to the original the replica has not any ISA slots but a VGA connector "to use with a VGA metal bracket".

Print magazine: Amiga Future Archive 4 (20 years edeition)
Press release: The Amiga Future Archive 4 (20 year edition) DVD has now been released. Originally launched at Gamescom in Cologne. The Amiga Future reached 20 years old this year. Reason enough to publish our new Amiga Future Archive DVD.
On this DVD you will discover the following issues to enjoy reading as PDFs:
- German: Amiga Future Issues 11 - 130
- English: Amiga Future Issues 67 - 130
Issues 11 to 26 were digitally scanned. All other editions are very high quality PDFs. Issue 11, way back in 1998, was the first German Amiga Future issue ever released. Issue 67, July/August 2007 was the first English edition of the Amiga Future magazine. So, our complete 20 years German Amiga Future story is available on this single DVD.
It is not possible to update a previous version of the Amiga Future Archive DVD, due to the media used, which we trust you will fully understand.

Case: Crowdfunding of Checkmate A1500 Plus announced
The Checkmate A1500 is a case for the Amiga 500 which transforms it into a desktop computer similar to the Amiga 2000 (amiga-news.de reported; a video about the historical backgrounds have been released two months ago). Stephen Jones has announced the crowdfunding of an updated edition of his product - on Tuesday 9 pm there will be a "launch party via live stream.
Besides the board of the Amiga 500/500+, the Checkmate-1500-Plus case will be also able to take an Amiga 600 or 1200 - or A-EON Technology's announced AmigaOne A1222 (Tabor), a Raspberry Pi or any other mainboard of the mini or micro-ATX format. Just like the original edition, a Riser card will provide a Zorro-II extension.

Jump'n Run: Commercial edition of "Zerosphere" (Update)
In "Zerosphere" (Youtube video) the environment of the player is displayed distorted. Only if the player "blinks" briefly the real dimensionen can be recognized. The German publisher poly.play now offers the game which three years ago was released as Freeware in two different commercial editions.
The Collector's Edition will be provided in a box and includes diverse gimmicks like an A3 poster or a "Squinty-Jo-Jo" piece. The Budget Edition only includes the game (on disk) and the 16-page manual. The poster of the Collector's Edition can be also bought separately for two Euro plus shipping.
Update: (21:59, 27.08.18, snx)
Following an enquiry of our editor Daniel Reimann, poly.play told us that this is not the same version that has been released three years ago. Instead the game would have been reworked completely, featuring new levels and elements now as well as the possibility to load further levels that are to be released in the future.

7-bit: CD32 extension with RAM, IDE and clockport available soon
A year ago 7-bit (e.g. Wicher 500i) presented a working prototype of a CD32 extension. Meanwhile the "WicherCD32" as the project was called has almost completed. WicherCD32 offers a slot for a SIMM72-RAM module, a Gayle-based IDE-controller as well as a clovkport.
Equipped with a 16 MB RAM module (modules with 50 and 60 ns were tested), the CD32 then has 11.5 MB Fast-RAM - due to the memory map of the CD32 in combination with the 68EC020 processor this is the maximum value. But the Kickstart-ROM can be copied to the Fast-RAM using the MAPROM feature. An Ethernet port can be added on the clockport using 7-bit's SPI MasterBus CP.
The actual price for the WicherCD32 as well as a precise date for the availibilty the producer has not announced yet.

Crowdfunding: Minskies Furball as CD version
The newcomer "BigBox Gaming" is going to offer games in big boxes as it used to be. The games which are delivered on CD are supposed to be compatible with Windows, Mac OS and "the later Amiga systems".
The first game is the Tetris clone Minskies Furballs released in 1996.
Obviously the unchanged, 20 years old, original versions are repackaged: The version for Windows is the so far unreleased original MS-DOS game, which runs in the emulator DOSbox. According to BigBox Gaming the game unfortunately does not support joypads - but it was compatible with tools which emulate a keystroke of a joypad.

ReAmiga 1200: Replica of A1200 mainboard published
As announced, on weekend John 'Chucky' Hertell has published the documents of his A1200 mainboard "ReAmiga 1200" (video of test run). It is a clone of the revision 1D.4 of Commodore's last desktop computer which compared to the original one provides the following improvements:
- Supports Round AND Square powerconnector. (round have 2 incoming +5V wires)
- New reworked Composite logic, with additional S-Video Support
- RF-Modulator removed and replaced with optional VGA Connector that is buffered, Still NO Scnadoubler
- PCMCIA Reset fix so cardreset software is not needed
- Resetheader
- A500 Compatible Keyboard connector (actually not tested yet)
- Extra powerconnectors for +12 and +5V fans. also extra powerconnector close to CPU slot to add power or fans.
- Selectable SEL signals for floppy, you need to cut the traces and solder in a connector to select
- Optional NMI (IRQ7) Possability
- Support for the Ratteswitch with solderoles for required signals so no need of a socket on CIA
- Optional onboard leds where LED and +5V are separated also optional “opt” led, with jumperwire for pcmcia activityled
All documents which are required for a production are available on Hertell's blog. Additionally there is also the unchanged replica of Commodore's revision 1D.4 which matches the original mainboard and therefore requires Commodore's jumpewire. This version so far has not been tested.
Hertell sells blank ReAmiga-1200 boards for about 60 Euro (5 Euro of this sum are donated to the Swedish children cancer fond) plus shipping. Hertell cannot help providing components because his project mainly is meant for repairing damaged Amiga 1200 computers.
For interested users Hertell provides a Component Locator "If you need help where to solder the different components".
