AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Amazing Voxel Bird Saga (beta version)
Amazing Voxel Bird Saga is a free Warp3D-game for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. You have to guide a bird through the 3d landscape of Voxel-Land and "collect as many coins as possible" (video).
Due to the situation of the drivers, under AmigaOS 4 the game works on the computer of the developer (Sam460ex, Radeon 9200) very slowly and has graphic bugs.

ACube Systems: Pictures of Minimig-Plus board
Massimiliano Tretene by ACube Systems has published two pictures of the "Minimig +". In November the FPGA-board with a DragonBall-Super-VZ-processor was announced and is supposed to have the power of a 68030-processor with 30 MHz and unlike its previous issue providing sufficient space for an AGA-core.
Additional to 32 MB RAM (extensible up to 64 MB) and 8 MB Chip-RAM, it features two USB-ports, network connection, realtime clock, two SD-card reader and 18-Bit video output.

3D print: Minimig-case in A1000-design available (Update)
Last year, Thomas 'Tommes' Koch introduced the prototype of a case for the Amiga clone Minimig which should be created in 3D print. Meanwhile two other prototypes has been created - the third prototype shown below can be ordered from the 3D service provider Shapeways :
According to Koch it might be necessary to rework the notches for the LEDs of the case. Apart from that the case was very well done and can be put together without any screws.
If there will be enough interested persons, Koch will organize a collective order for painting the cases. First he is going to paint one of his prototypes with the colours of an Amiga 1000 and publish pictures of them.
Update: (07:33, 06.04.14, snx)
As Thomas Koch informed us, the case has been updated. The version available in the shop is "Mark-III Revision 6". (cg) (Translation: dr)

Magazine: Retro Planet issue 3, any interest in English issue?
The Greek retro-magazine "Retro Planet" is published every three months. Topics of third issue (cover) are a test of an ACA 500, a report from the Greek Amiga meeting "Amicamp" as well as a review of the Battle Squadron remakes.
In a discussion at amigaworld.net, the publisher tries to find out if there is any interest in an English issue of the magazine. Two versions are possible: Translations of all Greek, original issues (four per year). Or a kind of "best Of"-magazine, which means, that there will be one single English issue per year.
An issue would cost about 10 Euro inclusive shipping.

SView5: Source code on sale
Andreas Kleinert writes: "SView5 (once SuperView, then SViewII and up) has been around in the Amiga scene from 1993 on - with a migration to .NET and Linux being main focus from 2008 on. The Amiga version did not see
any updates lately, i.e. the past 4-5 years.
Development actually did not pay off anymore starting from ca. 2004
on, for various reasons. However, even as a hobby I really do not
have sufficient time anymore - being father of two little daughters
hardly leaves any room for it for the next several years.
On the other hand, SView5 still may have some relatively unique
features in that combination. Under Windows I'd say there's only
a handful comparable tools in that area - but then a again many
commercial offerings and all-in-all everything is either free or
expected to be free.
After all, I'm considering to sell the source code to an interested
party in order to see it further developed. However it won't be
handed over for a nominal fee and also not for a student budget.
Price would have to be subject to negotiations and perhaps required some
commercial considerations to pay off for the buyer.
So I would be glad if any interested party would contact me on the
matter. Any offer should somehow value the amount of man-years
which went into its development and debugging.
Regarding the actual subject:
- There's the last AmigaOS / MorphOS source code:
- SView5 as a tool (C source)
- SView5-Library with many sub-libraries (modules, C source) being used as a shared library
- The most recent branch consisting of:
- SView5 as a tool (C++ source for .NET)
- SView5 toolkit consisting of platform-independent C++ classes which are structured similar to the previous C modules (also regarding the API) but have to be statically linked (some external code is used as DLL) - it works well under .NET but is completely endian-neutral and should also work on any Linux
It should be fairly easy on that basis to create a next-gen
SView5-Library for AOS3/AOS4/MOS which internally builds up on the
new C++ classes (but with externally compatible API) *or* backport
the new classes' core to the old code scheme *or* use it for something
entirely different.
Regarding kind of crowd-funding (bounty) and an OSS release I'd
generally be open, but it would mean a few conditions to be discussed
first. It might be more feasible to start with something more closed." (snx)

Boot disk creator: Amiga911 Maker 1.59
With the Amiga911, under AmigaOS 3.0/3.1 special boot disks can be created, which can contain a lot of tools using LZX or XPK. This requires an Amiga equipped with at least 1 MB virtual memory, recommended are 2 MB.
Additional to an update of the programm, new boot disks and extras packs were provided. With version 1.59 it is possible to create an AmigaOS-3.9 emergency disk to install AmigaOS from an USB-stick, a CF-card or from an ISO-image. The long list of changes is available under the title link.

Crowdfunding: "Armiga" emulates A500 and reads Amiga-disks
On the crowdfunding website Indiegogo, the following project is advertised: A Raspberry Pi in a self-made case with a classic Amiga design is to emulate an Amiga. What makes this "Armiga" special: A little daughterboard controls the disk drive which is also included and makes for a compatibility with Amiga disks. The final product is supposed to include a licenced copy of Kickstart 1.3.
Apart from the mentioned daughterboard and the case, Armiga is based on existing hardware and software: A single board computer with Dualcore-ARM-CPU (the prototype is using a Raspberry Pi), Android and a version of UAE which is not explained in detail. The daughterboard can read complete disks - the disks are converted into a ADF-Image and saved to an provided SD-card. It is not possible to directly access from the emulated Amiga to the disks. Besides, this does not work with copy-protected disks.
The crowdfunding campaign started on March 21st and will be finished on May 20th. If the campaign will not succeed in collecting at least 140.000 US-Dollar, the donators will get back the money. If more money will be paid, there will be a lot of additional features which the developers will implement, e.g. emulating some other computer operating systems, providing HDF-support, emulating AGA-Amigas and writing ADF-images to disks.

Collective order: Amiga keys for keyboards with Cherry MX-switches
Loriano 'TheDaddy' Pagni offers a set of Amiga or MorphOS keys for all keyboards equipped with the Cherry MX-switches. The keys, originally created for his case X500 and the USB-keyboards sold by Amedia, now were revised and can be ordered from Pagni individually.
For 42 pounds (about 50 Euro, plus shipping) you will get a complete set of set of black, with white laser etching, Amiga key caps. Different, country-specific layouts are available. Some pictures of the sets are available in an older thread at amigaworld.net:
Both Windows-keys were replaced by cursive "A", the "menu"-key has got a BoingBall. Further changes are a labelled "Caps Lock"-key as well as adding "Help" to the "End"-key. A MorphOS-version of the keys with a butterfly-motive is also offered.
If you are interested in this offer, then contact Pagni via eMail.
