Adventure: Geo's Quest - Gateway to Nowhere
As a sequel to "Geo's Quest: In Search of Queen Lorraine" in "Gateway to Nowhere", the hero, George Angus, is faced with the problem that Queen Lorraine, who was rescued from The Gates of Bill, has been lost by the Knights of Escom, to whom she was entrusted. George is assisted by Dave Haynie in the second rescue of the queen. The fifth chapter then follows (loosely) his path after the end of Commodore (Pios, MetaBox, Merlancia, Fortele). (snx)

Reverse Engineering: Aira Force 0.6.1 for Windows, Linux and macOS
"Aira Force" is a tool for reverse engineering Amiga 680x0 software. It allows binaries to be disassembled and investigated (preview video).
The primary goal of this project is to provide a graphical user interface on top of the excellent ira reassembler to accelerate the workflow.
Aira Force implements reassembly using the ira disassembler and the vasm assembler. Ira transforms the source executable or raw binary into assembly language source code, then vasm assembles the source code. The output binary should be identical (or equivalent) to the input binary.
This process allows the user to analyse and annotate the source code efficiently, before make any required changes to the generated disassembly and building a patched binary. It may be useful for fixing bugs, adding features, optimising the code, or academic software archeology. Features:
- Disassemble Amiga executables (hunk Load Modules)
- Disassemble raw Amiga binaries, e.g. bootblocks, non-DOS programs
- Interactively convert disassembly to code, data or text
- Rename and add labels
- Add comments and banners
- Define pointers and equates
- Efficient code navigation
- Tools to search for potential pointers, equates and code
- Live Analysis using 68000 emulator to aid understanding
- In-built Amiga documentation (custom chipset, OS)
- Menu and keyboard driven UI
- Runs on Windows, Linux and macOS (sorry, no Amiga version)
- Hex viewer
- Reassemble disassembled code and compare against source
- Dockable windows and multi-viewports (native OS windows) with Dear ImGui
The tool is currently pre-ALPHA and not all features are implemented yet. (dr)

Audio: Prelude Software Bundle V4.1 now available
The updated software bundle (V4.1) for the Prelude sound card family (and derivatives) includes the prelude.library, the mixer and the MHI driver for the Amiblaster.
The new features at a glance:
- As soon as any application opens the prelude.library, it automatically loads and sets the saved mixer settings. This means that the mixer does not have to be started each time the system is started, unless you want to mix one of the inputs to the output right at the beginning.
- The prelude.library now also initialises newer revisions of the MAS3507D (e.g. on newer MPEGit replicas) correctly, so that the playback speed is correct.
- The included MHI driver for the Amiblaster now also supports the Ultra and the CP/Mini (clockport version).
The Prelude Software Bundle supports the Prelude Z2, Prelude 1200 and Amiblaster Deluxe sound cards as well as the Prelude Z2 extensions MPEGit and Arpeggiator. Under WinUAE, the bundle is compatible with the Prelude Z2 and Prelude 1200 models supported there.

Crowdfunding for new card game Amiga Trumps
Following the motto "Let's keep Amiga gaming alive... in card game form!", the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the new card game "Amiga Trumps" has been successfully launched. The funding goal of ¤ 1,762 has already been reached, but the campaign will continue until 23 July 2024.
The "Amiga Trumps" card deck brings the brilliant characters from the classic Amiga games to the stage: Inspired by the classic Trump card games of the 1980s, this deck brings 34 heroes from well-known Amiga titles into the hands of gaming fans.
For those unfamiliar with Trump card games: They are very easy to play. A deck is dealt evenly to all players. One player names a value from their top card (e.g. strength, heroism), and the other players read out the corresponding value from their cards. The highest value wins the round and the winner collects all the cards played. This continues until one player has won all the cards.
The special highlight of this deck are the cards themselves. Each card features a hero, villain or other main character from a classic Amiga title against a background image of the game. In addition to the character, the cards contain values in five categories: Strength, Heroism, Skill, Agility and Weapons. The game includes characters such as Guybrush Threepwood, Turrican, Rick Dangerous, Soccer Kid, Superfrog and Zool. A special option is the purchase of the deck with a golden trump card: LeChuck, with artwork from "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge".
The cards are to be printed on laminated playing card in the finished product and come in a fully printed folding box.
The project can still be supported until 23 July 2024 on Kickstarter under the title link. (nba)

Video: Installing a new network printer on MorphOS
'jPV' is a very active MorphOS developer, but with his software projects such as the image processing software RNOEffects or the MUI-based SFTP/FTP(S) client RNOXFER he mostly supports all Amiga systems. As he writes, it had been quite a while since he had dealt with the printer problem under MorphOS. As he had just bought a new printer - a Xerox B230 printer - he had to deal with drivers and network support under MorphOS again and recorded his results in a video.
In it, he explains how to set up the netprinter default settings and add drivers for the new printing system (PPD) and for the old TurboPrint-based system. In order for a printer to be integrated as a network printer under MorphOS, it must currently support PostScript, PCL5, ESC/P-R or SPL2/SPLc.
As 'jPV' explained to us, the new printing system in MorphOS is great because it supports all the new printer features: the printer settings GUI is created according to the provided PPD file, so you can change all the options available in any printer in MorphOS. (dr)

Blog: Building an Amiga PSU for upgraded Amigas
As Andrew 'LinuxJedi' Hutchings writes, many users use Meanwell power supplies as a replacement for the ones supplied with the Amiga. Usually the 50W variants like the RPT-60B would be used because it fits well into an original Amiga power supply. In the first part of his report, Hutchings investigates whether a 75W power supply can also be used for heavily upgraded Amigas.
In his second blog post, he reports on corresponding tests and some improvements. (dr)

Beat 'em Up: Update of Final Fight Enhanced
In late January, developer 'Prototron' released its improved version of Capcom's Final Fight written in machine language (amiga-news.de reported). Now some small fixes, a new move and a new music track have been added.
An overview of the changes:
- added new music to the elevator stage
- added guy and Maki's "off the wall jump"
- fixed a bug that crashed the game when Belger was killed with a regular punch
- removed some superfluous collision checks from Belger in an attempt to fix the stall bug
- some minor animation fixes, plus checks added to prevent some bugs that didn't halt the player during level transitions
The developer points out that the realisation is explicitly a private, non-commercial project. An ECS or AGA Amiga with 2MB Chip RAM and 512KB Fast RAM is required.

Turn-based strategy: Bugfix update May 2024 for "Settle the World"
Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel writes about his recently published update:
"The bugfix update is finished and is recommended for everyone who is still playing on the April 2024 version.
In addition to fixing bugs, the movement system of units has been reworked.
Units can now move a little more, and the player should now receive the message about too few movement points much less frequently.
Furthermore, Settle the World can now be played completely in the German language.
This also lays the technical basis for additional translations into other languages.
Of course, the game still contains bugs or features that do not yet work properly.
Settle the World is far from finished...but with this bugfix update it is much more playable than ever before.
I would be very happy to receive feedback from players about this update. The amount of work involved in creating this update was really enormous.
As always, Settle the World can be downloaded free of charge from the project page." (dr)

Managing ADF files: adflib V0.9.0 for Windows, Linux and macOS
Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format (amiga-news.de reported). The library is currently being developed under the responsibility of Tomasz Wolak. Changes in version 0.9.0:
- improved write support (block allocation bitmap checking and rebuilding)
- new unified api for all devices, allowing to implement new device drivers in client code
- possibility to enable/disable device drivers
- added a new device: ramdisk
- improved and better tested salvage code (still experimental!)
- cleaned-up and improved library API (ie. separated namespace)
- added new command-line utilities:adf_bitmap, adf_salvage
- many bugfixes and internal improvements
- dual license (GPL-2+ or LGPL2.1+)

DiskFlashback: Using image files and discs in PC drives
Developer Rob Smith has introduced DiskFlashback, a convenient software for Windows 10/11 (64-bit) that enables PC floppy drives to read and write image files such as ADFs (Amiga Disk Files) during operation. It also allows you to process real discs in Amiga or Atari format, with the appropriate hardware extensions. To use it, you need the FloppyBridge plugin, which in turn requires additional hardware (YouTube video).
DiskFlashback is particularly aimed at retro computing enthusiasts and professional users who still work with older floppy disc formats. The software makes it possible, for example, to write image files to physical floppy discs and, conversely, to convert physical floppy discs into image files. This is particularly useful for archiving old software or reviving classic games and applications on original hardware. The workaround via WinUAE or other third-party software and expansion hardware for editing ADFs, for example, is therefore no longer necessary.
The features of DiskFlashback include:
- Mount ADF, DMS*, IMG, IMA, ST, MSA*, HDA, HDF and SCP* files as virtual drives (* read only)
- Supports the following disk formats:
- AmigaDOS OFS/FFS DD & HD Disks
- IBM/PC FAT12/16 DD 720k & HD 1.44Mb Disks
- Atari ST FAT12/16 GemDOS Single and Double Sided normal & extended Disks
- Dual Format Amiga/Atari floppy disks and mounts them as two drives! (read only)
- Use DrawBridge, Greaseweazle or SupercardPro as a real windows drive letter
- Create blank disk images for the above formats.
- Rip real floppy disks to file
- Write disk images to real floppy disks
- Install boot blocks on Amiga disks
- Optionally silently swap file extensions (eg: mod.thismusic to thismusic.mod)
The software requires Windows versions 10 or 11 in 64-bit - and of course a working floppy disc drive in the PC. The developer points out that the antivirus system in Windows may recognise the software as a virus. The false-positive warning can be ignored.
DiskFlashback is OpenSource and is licensed under the GPL2 licence. Sources are available on GitHub.
The free download of the software in its current version 1.0.0.6 is available on the developer's website under the title link. Developer Rob Smith offers the software free of charge, but is happy to receive a "tip" via ko-fi.
Editorial update, 12 June 2024 (nba): Our original news article stated that no special hardware is required to process physical Amiga disks. That is not accurate. The FloppyBridge plug-in is required, which in turn requires DrawBridge, Greaseweazle or Supercard Pro hardware. The article has been updated accordingly. (nba)

Video: Updating Uboot for Sam460 boards
In his latest video, Roman 'kas1e' Kargin shows how to update the UBoot bootloader on the SAM460 boards from Acube-Systems. As he writes, the public version of Uboot, which was delivered with the Sam460, has a bug: when using RadeonRX graphics cards, the Uboot output cannot be seen on the monitor. Access is only possible via the terminal with the serial cable. The video shows the entire process of updating with a beta version of Uboot, which will be available to all users in the next few days.

Historical document: Amiga presentation from 1984
In June 1984, the heads of "Amiga Computer, Inc." had met with representatives of Commodore to discuss the licensing or purchase of Amiga's currently developed technology. Commodore's financial director at the time, Don Greenbaum has now presented the hobby archaeologists from the 'Commodore International Historical Society' the document with which the Californian start-up used to advertise its computer at the time.
The computer described in the PDF already has clear similarities with the end customer product presented a year later, although it still has a
5.25-inch floppy disk drive, an "expansion slot" in the top of the housing, a cartridge slot and an internal modem. IBM compatibility could be retrofitted via an "MS-DOS cartridge". (cg)

Shoot 'em Up: Early demo version of "NEON world" (v0.3)
After Frank Neumann had not programmed anything for the Amiga with assembler for 30 years, he wants to get back into it with the shoot 'em up "NEON world" (amiga-news.de reported). With this further early demo version, the player's power has been upgraded so that he can defeat opponents more easily. However, this also increases the boss's resistance.
In addition, the player is no longer revived immediately, but is reset to certain positions in the level. So you have to be even more careful. The game should run on an Amiga 500.

Developer log: Amiga Isometric #4
Nivrig Games is working on porting an isometric arcade adventure game to the Amiga and is publishing developer diaries (amiga-news.de reported). After three further entries - Amiga Isometric #2, Amiga Isometric #3 and Amiga Isometric #3.5 - the ability to draw an isometrically sorted moving object - the player - in the game world and to perform some rudimentary test controls was achieved.
As the author explains, adding controller-based movements was easy, but adding other objects proved to be something of a grab bag. As this was ultimately successful, the first interactions could now be tested (YouTube video). (dr)
