Audio: Prelude Software Bundle 4.0
Thomas Wenzel writes: "This is a fork of the last release by me before Oliver Gantert took over to improve and refactor it and to include support for his new Prelude ZII+ soundcard.
I have tried to fix all the bugs which Oliver also fixed in his branch. Along the way I took the opportunity to implement a watchdog which can resume a broken and stalled data transfer on its own. This can happen during some ZZ9000 graphics operations for example. The watchdog can't prevent the sound from being interrupted for a short time but after that it will resume automatically instead of just hang.
I have set the version number back to 4 to reflect the AHI v4 support and to clearly separate it from Oliver's branch.
So if you experience unexpected hangups during playback, or if you are just adventurous, this is the version to try. :)
If you are using an Amiblaster Deluxe soundcard, this version is also the one to choose."

Graphic adventure about computer game magazine "ASM" announced (German)
A text-graphic adventure for the Commodore Amiga will soon be released about the German computer games magazine "ASM - Aktueller Software Markt" (1986 - 1995). The player slips into the role of editor-in-chief Manfred Kleimann and experiences the everyday madness in the editorial office.
The game was essentially created in the 90s and has now been reworked and finished in cooperation with some former ASM colleagues. Details such as screenshots are being withheld by the distributor, APC&TCP, for the time being, the official presentation is planned for an upcoming ASM special.
Therefore one can only register for a newsletter at the title link so far. However, Michael Kafke had already shown the game at ARC 2023 in Duisburg, so it can already be seen on some videos recorded by visitors. It will also be demonstrated at Amiga38 in October. (snx)

Amiga Future: Subscription campaign ended - More pages starting with issue 163
In April, the print magazine "Amiga Future" advertised for additional subscribers to increase the number of pages of the magazine: With 24 new subscribers to the magazine, the number of pages should have been increased by four, with 48 by eight pages.
However, the target was not met. Nevertheless, the number of pages in the magazine will be increased by four to 56 starting with issue 163 - the difference in costs will be borne by APC&TCP as the publisher. (snx)

Floppy disk images: Disc Image Manager V1.46 for Linux, macOS and Windows
Gerald J Holdsworth's Disc Image Manager is an application used to load a retro disc image, read the catalogue and output any required files. In addition, it will also add files to the image, delete, and rename files and directories. On the Amiga side, reading and writing of AmigaDOS disks and hard disks with OFS and FFS formatting are supported (not fully tested with FFS). Support for directory cache and international characters is still missing.
As the author reports, the Disc Image Manager was originally a Delphi class written for inclusion in the Repton Map Display to read Repton data files directly from disc images. To test whether the class worked well, he wrote a GUI front-end for the class called Disc Image Reader, but it was only available on Windows.
When someone asked about accessing Acorn DFS images on macOS, he decided to port his application to Lazarus. The first thing he added was write-back to the disc images, which turned Disc Image Reader into Disc Image Manager.
Changes in version 1.46:
New or improved features
- Image report now lists the free space map for ADFS.
- Add Partition button now works for DFS single sided images to add a second side.
- Exporting files now includes a date/time stamp field in the *.inf file if set.
- Importing files, where the *.inf file has a date/time stamp field, updates the date/time for the file.
- The ADFS interleave can now be changed without re-organising the data. This method then re-reads the file using the new method.
- Can now save a BASIC file to the host system as a text file.
- BASIC file viewer now uses smaller text and no longer bold, unless it is a keyword. Text in quotes is now in italics.
- Image report now checks every file and directory on an image and reports details of files with CRC32 error or broken directories (ADFS).
- When importing a file to an image, it no longer complains if the selected node is not a directory. Now, it just selects the selected node's parent before importing the file.
- The BackSpace key is now a shortcut for deleting files or directories.
Bug fixes
- When deleting directories, the internal directory references were not getting updated.
- When deallocating free space on a New Map ADFS, the wrong idlen was sometimes being used.
- The New Map ADFS free space map was not getting read correctly.
- Renaming an ADFS file in a ADFS/DOS hybrid image could crash the application on Windows. Renames on the DOS or Acorn FS side could also fail.
- Broken ADFS directories were getting displayed with the 'Not Read' colours.
- A corrupt 'JesMap' sector, on Acorn FS, can cause the application to crash. Additional checks have been put in place.
- An ADFS Old Map, with no free space, would hang when trying to delete a file.
- In ADFS, when selecting a sub-directory the image details status bar would sometimes report no image title, 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free.
- When an ADFS New Map zone is close to capacity (i.e., not enough space for a fragment id to be written in), the free space was incorrectly reported. This would cause files and directories to fail to being written but the catalogue information would still be.
- Deleting an ADFS directory which is the penultimate directory in the catalogue would result in the last one being deleted from the internal references. This then caused confusion with the front end GUI and resulted in a crash. In addition, deleting everything from the image would leave the free space map not correctly updated.
The author also provides a detailed PDF manual. (dr)

Minimig: Revision 1.97itx
Revision 1.97itx of the Minimig - a reimplementation of an Amiga 500 in a FPGA - is available.
This board was designed to fit into any MiniITX case and is compatible with standard ITX power supplies. It features an added LED and button header, allowing you to easily connect necessary buttons and LEDs to your MiniITX case. One of the major improvements is the addition of 2MB of FastRAM, bringing the total onboard RAM of the Minimig to 6MB. Furthermore, enhancements have been made in the Verilog, enabling Minimig to automatically configure the 2MB of fast RAM in hardware. The board has undergone thorough testing with various components, including the TF030 accelerator, MC68000 and Pistorm. (dr)

Changes are mainly for a NetStack bug in MorphOS versions 3.14 to 3.18, which already led to Wayfarer 5.3, and, as there, cURL and sqlite were also updated on this occasion. (snx)

Video report: Amiga Ruhrpott Convention 2023 (German)
Dominic Ortmanns visited the Amiga Ruhrpott Convention in Duisburg-Rheinhausen, Germany, on May 6, 2023 and recorded his impressions in a video at the title link (Camera: Jürgen Weißenfels, Graphics: Jan Reineke). His summary of the "small but nice Amiga fair, from fans for fans":
"This event is the first of its kind. That makes it especially interesting to see what the organizers around 'T!nomania' [and CZ-Tunes] have done here. I can already tell you that I was very impressed.
I could meet many nice people from the Amiga community and had some very interesting conversations.
This was definitely the hard core of Amiga hardware and software enthusiasts. You could play, buy, drink, chat with developers, YouTubers, podcasters and other organizers, and there was even a raffle of exquisite prizes.
So in my opinion, especially for the first attempt of an own Amiga convention, a precision landing.
But if you want to know all the details of my opinion, you should still watch the video." (snx)

Browser extension: AGuide Viewer 0.1
AGuide Viewer is an open source reader for AmigaGuide documents implemented as a browser extension. It works with Firefox and Chromium on all platforms.
Under Firefox the installation takes place automatically with the corresponding consent. For Chromium, unpack the file aguide-0.1.xpi into a folder. In Chromium, go to "Extensions" > "Manage Extensions" and activate the developer mode there. Then select the previously created folder using "Load unpacked extension".
The extension automatically recognises files that have a .guide file name extension or begin with the '@database' sequence. AmigaGuide documents downloaded from the internet are automatically rendered in the browser. Viewing local files is also supported by starting the AGuide Viewer by clicking on the AGV icon in the browser toolbar. The user interface is similar to that of AmigaGuide or MultiView.
As Firefox blocks direct links to local files in the extension, the author recommends opening such a link in an AmigaGuide document by using the right mouse button and "Link in new tab".
The author plans to submit future versions to the Chrome Store for signing, which will simplify installation on Chrome/Chromium. Since Mozilla's signing process is somewhat simpler and it is the author's preferred browser, he had focused on it with the first version of the AGuide Viewer.

Video player: Amos Anim Player V2023.05.16
The "Amos Anim Player" of the group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP" is a very simple IFF-ANIM player that runs on any Amiga. It can play compressed IFF-Anim formats synchronised with a separate IFF Audio Sample (or MOD). Not much RAM is needed, as the anim frames and audio are streamed directly from the hard disk. If there is enough RAM, the sound is streamed directly from RAM.
The Amos Video Player, also provided by the "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP", uses its own file format. The conversion takes a long time and only works on WinUAE with acceptable speed. The "Amos Anim Player", on the other hand, uses the standard IFF animation format, which is much easier to convert and can be used on real hardware.
The AMOS source code is included and can be used freely. Feedback on usability on faster computers is welcome. (dr)

Reverse Engineering: Speedball 2
In terms of games (software), reverse engineering is the process of analysing the code and content of the game to understand how it works. A GitHub page provides software tips and learning materials for interested developers. In this case, Simon Frankau has taken on the Amiga classic Speedball 2.
Based on his previous analysis of the Sega Megadrive version, he used the reverse engineering tool Ghidra for the disassembly. Below, he described to us how he followed the boot process to obtain a memory image:
- Disassemble the boot block (first couple of sectors of the ADF) to find how it loads the second-level loader. The boot block uses ROM routines, so I had to learn about how to call the OS from assembly.
- Once I knew where the second-level loader was in the disk image, I could disassemble that. This loads the main binary. The second-level loader has its own disk routines, so I got to learn about the sector encoding of Amiga disks (with MFM) and the blitter.
- From there, I learnt where the main binary was, and could extract it from the ADF. It's compressed, so I reversed the compressor and wrote my own implementation to decompress the binary.
- At this point, I had a memory image representing the game after loading and decompressing. I loaded it into Ghidra and worked through it, understanding it and giving names to all the functions and variables, and adding comments.
- I also built tools to extract and the graphics and sounds and make them accessible.
As he goes on to describe, the copy protection (although the game has been cracked) uses Rob Northen's Copylock, a kind of trace vector decoder. To undo this, I used FS-UAE's debugger to track what it was doing.
Overall, this project would have helped him immensely to learn a lot about the Amiga, as the game makes good use of the hardware:
- It uses the copper for scrolling and palette management.
- It uses the blitter to render sprites and do disk decoding.
- It uses the sound hardware and vertical blanking interrupt for a mod-player-like sliced player.
- It uses the CIA and other i/o for keyboard and joystick.
- Some graphics resources were embedded IFFs, so I learnt about them.
The code would have been pretty good, in his opinion - he could usually figure out what the developers were up to, even though there were no symbols or comments, and he discovered few bugs. He found it amusing that the copy protection routine, despite its complexity, only changes three memory locations.
Despite the hardware differences, the code is very similar to the Megadrive version, which would a) show how easy it is to port it to 68000 platforms and b) make decoding the Amiga version easier.
The binary would contain a few pieces of dead code, such as a team-selection menu, but unlike the Megadrive version there are not cheat codes.
The AI was pretty simple, given how well it plays! The AI doesn't cheat: it interacts with the rest of the game by writing to the variables that would otherwise be written to by the joystick routine for a two player game. (dr)

Space Invaders clone: Skinvaders
Space Invaders is a 1978 shoot'em up originally programmed by Tomohiro Nishikado and distributed by Taito. The group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP" - among others, the mini-game None of Us - has now published a simple variant written in AMOS, whose graphics can be exchanged in the enclosed source code independently of the programme code. The background and the enemy images can have a maximum of eight colours, but must in any case have the same colour depth. (dr)

Strategy game: "Virtual Enemies" in development
LogicalByte, the developer of the logic game Connect, yesterday introduced the next game for the Amiga 500 (and higher). The title is "Virtual Enemies".
The player lives in an alternative timeline in the 80s. The earth is already suffering enormously from the severe climate changes caused by the unchecked overexploitation of the last decades. States and their rulers have become irrelevant. Large corporations, which have control over all important raw materials, are the true rulers. On their orders, entire armies of hackers embark on an electronic war of information gathering and sabotage. The player is one of them, a novice, a noob who has yet to find his place.
So the player's central task is to penetrate foreign computer networks. He does this with his computer, which can be upgraded by money received. Software tools have to be written, improved and expanded in order to complete the tasks even more efficiently. Those who now inevitably think of Hacknet or Uplink can rest assured: it is not a clone that copies the game principle, but has its own sophisticated game mechanics.
The game can be played alone or, if the Amiga is connected to the Internet, together with other players. Some missions are so complex, difficult and thus glorious that they can only be completed together. A ranking list brings the possibility of worldwide comparison. We are aware that cooperative playing is only fun if fellow players are available. Therefore clients for Windows, Linux and Mac will be available shortly after the Amiga release (probably end of 2024). This should generate a player reach that the Amiga has not seen for a long time.
The first prototype will be playable at Amiga38 in October. (dr)

Event: Information on the Amiga38
Markus Tillmann wrote: Yesterday, Sunday 14 May 2023, ticket sales started shortly after 8pm with a few minutes delay (amiga-news.de reported).
Amiga38 is expected to be the biggest worldwide again this year - despite several old and new Amiga events - welcoming guests and visitors from all over the world.
The visitors can look forward to three main topics that will be in the foreground during the one and a half days: on the one hand, we want to pay tribute to the legendary and insanely active demoscene and have a few more musical and informal contributions for this in addition to the demo contest brought to life by the Apollo team (amiga-news.de reported).
Our second main topic will be AmigaOS and its current development team: who is actually behind the development of AmigaOS3.2? Part of the team will be represented with their own stand at Amiga38 and will be available to answer questions. Camilla Boemann will travel from Denmark and will also give a stage presentation on behalf of the team.
Furthermore, we also want to give Commodore's console, the Amiga CD32, more attention, especially since it celebrates its 30th birthday this year. A beacon of hope or stillborn? What was the plan behind the console? What would have happened if Commodore had been more liquid at the time of its release? These and other questions will also be addressed in October - we were able to win Beth Richard from the USA as a special guest of honour. Beth Richard worked as an engineer at Commodore from 1991 until she left in April 1994.
She was the designer of the Grace chip and the CDTV-CR that used it; the MPEG-4000 that was the prototype for the CD32 FMV cartridge, one of the three designers of the Akiko chip in the CD32 and the lead designer of the CD1200 prototype.
Other well-known names who have already confirmed their participation include Petro Tyschtschenko, who celebrated his 80th birthday in April, David Pleasance and Dave Haynie.
For Amiga38, in addition to the day tickets at 27.50 euros, appropriately named "Pass A38", there are of course again day tickets including table (for 40 euros), as well as tickets for the pre-opening and get-together on Friday evening (after the exhibitors have set up, a first tour is possible, plus snacks and drinks from 8 pm, as well as a stage programme including a Reshoot Proxima release party) at 59 euros.
In addition, there are some ticket combinations with discounts, as well as free tickets for children and young people up to and including 16 years of age. As experience shows that some categories will sell out quickly, it makes sense to secure your ticket in good time.
Questions about the tickets or other topics concerning the Amiga38 can be sent by email. (dr)

Video: The History of Cursor Keys
In this video, the YouTube channel "The 8-Bit Guy" takes a look at the history of the cursor keys, which nowadays are mostly arranged in the shape of an inverted "T": The index, middle and ring fingers can remain on the keyboard and the middle finger can easily switch between the up and down keys.
Digital Equipment Corporation developed the LK201 keyboard in 1982 because they found that left, right, and down were the most frequently used keys. That is the de facto standard today, but that was not always the case. For example, the Apple Lisa and the original Macintosh had no cursor keys at all because Steve Jobs wanted to encourage developers and users to use the mouse.
The "diamond arrangement" would have given the Amiga 1000 an idiosyncratic layout: the cursor keys are shaped like a diamond, with the left and right keys so close together that you can't just use your middle finger to switch up and down between the keys. However, with the introduction of the Amiga 500 and 2000, they switched to the inverted T style that we all use today. So the Amiga 1000 is the only Amiga that had such cursors. (dr)

WHDLoad: Graphical user-interface iGame 2.4.0
iGame is a MUI-based frontend for starting WHDLoad games (amiga-news.de reported). George 'walkero' Sokianos has released version 2.4.0 for AmigaOS 2.04 and higher, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS.
As the author explained in his latest blog entry on ko-fi, he is introducing "igame.data" with this version: a media file that stores information about the title, the year of release and the number of players for the respective game, among other things. This should make it possible to automatically categorise one's own collection of WHDLoad games. The MUI classes NList and NListviews are required. The changes in the overview:
Added
- Added back the saving of the list after a scan of the repositories, which was removed in the previous releases
- Introduced the new igame.data files
- iGame uses NList now with extra columns that are sortable
- Added "Prefer igame.data" checkbox in preferences that let the user to set if the title is going to retrieved from the igame.data files or from the slave file or the folder name, like it used to work. This doesn't have any effect on non-WHDLoad items.
Fixed
- Fixed the status messages which was stack with saving list message and didn't show the number of games again.
Changed
- Now the MUI changes are loaded from envarc. With MUI v5 balance size and list columns are saved there and restored the next time iGame is started

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.12
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)
The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Today version 1.12 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes:
- New disk formats:
- Commodore 1541 (C64) GCR: commodore.1541
- IBM: ibm.320
- Dragon32, Dragon64: dragon...
- Tandy CoCo: coco...
- New image format: D64 (C64 CBMDOS GCR disks)
- ibm: Improve layout of very full tracks
- ibm: Warn on oversize tracks (data too large to fit)
- ibm: Allow gapbyte value to be specified in diskdef
- d88: Remove duplicate sectors from oversize tracks

Skill game: "Kalle Kloakk" released
In mid-February we reported that Kåre 'Docster' Johansen was porting one of his old C64 games, "Kalle Kloakk", to the Amiga. Today he has released the finished game, which consists of eight levels.
Docster' has been a member of the C64 demo group Megastyle since 2017. The name of the game also refers to a corresponding production by the group from 1990. The C64 game was submitted as an entry to the "Reset C64 Craptastic 4KB Game Competition" in 2018, where it took seventh place.
The aim of the game is quite simple: to collect toilet paper. To do this, however, you first have to create a suitable stepping surface from quickly moving up and down floor segments, from which you have to reach both the toilet paper rolls and the exit. In the eight levels, you have a total of three opportunities to reset a level if you get into a hopeless situation. The first level is intended for "warming up": there are no toilet paper rolls and you can prove your skill in laying on the floor.
Once you have completed all eight levels, you have collected so much toilet paper that Kalle Kloakk can build a tower under his bathroom window and leave the bathroom. The music by musician, DJ and developer 'Hoffman' (among others, the Amiga port of Knightmare) is actually simple, but totally catchy and fits the game perfectly.
The game is a perfect pastime for in between and is great fun. Actually, there are only two things to criticise: the meagre number of eight levels and - after you have reached the end after a few futile attempts - the ending. But maybe there will be an update with a worthy finale...? (dr)

Platformer: Tech Demo "Space Cavern Blaster" v0.12 (update)
As entry to the Retro Platform Jam #6, 'dotmos' has released a cross-system platformer for Amiga 500, Atari ST, C64, DOS and Sega Megadrive as a proof of concept (YouTube video).
On the technical implementation, the author wrotes: Game mechanics and boilerplate code is programmed in C and is the same codebase for all platforms. Each platform has custom implementations for rendering/drawing, music, sound, input, asset loading and gametime. The codebase is then cross compiled using VBCC (Amiga, Atari ST, C64), DJGPP (DOS) or SGDK (Megadrive).
Update: (09.05.2022, 05:22, dr)
Meanwhile, version 0.12 is available, in which the author fixed some bugs and added two new enemy types as well as three new levels. In total, the game now has 12 levels. (dr)

Amiga Documents: Evidence of irregularities / Statement by Mike Battilana
On the Twitter account "Amiga Documents" further documents concerning the parties in litigation Hyperion Entertainment CVBA and Amiga Corporation have been published.
Among them is especially the proof (PDF file) of financial irregularities at the original, Belgian company A-EON Technology CVBA, which led to the withdrawal of the main shareholder of Hyperion Entertainment, Ben Hermans, from the joint company A-EON Technology and to the foundation of the current, British company A-EON Technology Ltd. (amiga-news.de reported), and later already confirmed by Trevor Dickinson.
The now published evidence is the agreement, dated December 17, 2010, between the three directors at the time, Trevor Dickinson, Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans, on how to deal with "certain financial problems and irregularities". These included the resignation and relinquishment of all banking powers of Ben Hermans relating to A-EON Technology, the reimbursement of funds unauthorizedly withdrawn from A-EON Technology's accounts as well as those raised on behalf of A-EON Technology for its beta testing via Hyperion's PayPal account, and the granting of various rights of companies in which Ben Hermans has an interest in favor of A-EON Technology. The latter included, for example, the worldwide free use of the trademarks AmigaOne, AmigaOS (and associated with it the name AmigaOS 4 including future updates) and the Boing Ball.
However, the actual repayments remaining after deduction of these non-cash assets in the form of usage rights were comparatively low. The agreed repayment plan provided for 25,000 euros plus a final payment of an estimated further 7,500 euros as well as further fees and expenses in connection with the investigation and cleanup of the irregularities.
In a further - but so far unsubstantiated, being an announcement initially - tweet Amiga Documents sets out the points on which Ben Hermans, Trevor Dickinson and Mike Battilana are said to have initially agreed in August 2019 to settle the dispute, but which were then not honored. In fact, there had been settlement negotiations at the time. Key points had allegedly been:
- Suspend legal action
- OS4 Hyperion
- Pre-OS 3.1.4 Amiga Inc.
- OS 3.1.4 5-year exclusive Hyperion
- After 5 years OS 3.1 open source potential
- Hyperion could continue to develop - Classic Plus pack?
- Possible cash payment to shorten the 5 year exclusive period
Finally, a third tweet (PDF file) originates from the legal dispute. It is a statement by Mike Battilana on the formation of his C-A Acquisition Corporation, whose inclusion in the first legal dispute, which has since been decided in favor of Hyperion, was rejected by the court in exactly the same way as that of Cloanto, which has led to further proceedings that are currently still ongoing.
The background to the above-mentioned ruling in favor of Hyperion was essentially that, in the opinion of the court, only C-A Acquisition Corp. would be entitled to sue as a result of the transfer of rights, which is why the actual points of claim in the form of the further ongoing legal proceedings remain open. Against this background, the timing of the transfer of rights from Amiga Inc. by Mike Battilana proved to be unfavorable for him.
His statement of April 24, 2023 does not contain any fundamental news, but it explains that Mike Battilana had no influence on that point in time. Since his statements represent a generally understandable course of the takeover of the rights of Amiga Inc. even without knowledge from the court proceedings - admittedly described from his personal point of view - we have translated them in our German news-item into German. Here instead we just reproduce the original text for your convenience, so that you can translate it automatically in case English is not your native language:
"I, Michele 'Mike' Console Battilana, declare under penalty of perjury pursuant to U.S. Code § 1746 as follows:
1. I make this declaration based on my personal knowledge, except where I have indicated otherwise. If called as a witness, I would testify competently and truthfully to these matters.
2. I am President and sole shareholder of Cloanto Corporation. I founded Cloanto Corporation with other partners on June 15, 1998, in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the company still has an accountant. I chose Nevada because of local information technology contacts and friends. The purpose of the company was to facilitate software development work, and sales to larger US clients. The company was immediately independent and self-sufficient. Like any other company, it has a bank account, enters into contracts, pays expenses, and files tax returns.
3. In my early years as an Amiga developer (1986-1997), I was not aware of a 'tortured history of litigation'. My relationship with all Commodore and Amiga parties was always an amicable and constructive one. We were quite successful developers. Our software was bundled with Amiga computers. Before this case started in 2017, I was never embroiled in a lawsuit but for proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (all but one of which involved Hyperion), and I knew of only two Amiga-related lawsuits. Mr. Ben Hermans was involved in both, first on the side of Amiga, Inc. then against it. Mr. Hermans describes himself as 'a member of the Antwerp Bar Association as well as an Intellectual Property litigator with over 20 years of relevant experience'. The word 'litigator' is in Mr. Herman's professional DNA, not in mine. I know that beyond being the director of Hyperion, he also owns more than 90% of the company, directly or through his law firm Ben Hermans BV.
4. I believe that the following statement in Ben Hermans' Declaration in support of Hyperion's Motion for Summary Judgment (Dkt. 106, 7) does not facilitate an understanding of the case (or the 2019 acquisition) because it is simply false: 'Since the 1980s, the parties to this lawsuit have been litigating ownership and licensing disputes related to the Amiga operating system software.' Not only did the first lawsuits start only in the 2000s (not the 1980s), but the first agreement that Hyperion's predecessor, Hyperion VOF, entered into with Amiga, Inc. was in 2001. Moreover, the 'Amiga Parties' in the 2009 Settlement Agreement were not parties to this litigation when it started in 2017.
5. I believe that the Amiga Parties indeed considered all litigation to have ended for good with the 2009 Settlement Agreement, and had no intention of seeing it all flare up again. This all changed in March 2018, when Hyperion sued the Amiga Parties again (rather than the other way around). I believe that being dragged again into litigation, and the fact that we were on the same side of the case caption, brought us closer, and facilitated acquisition talks. Our first conference call discussing acquisition ideas took place in April 2018, i.e., the month after Hyperion's complaint against the Amiga Parties.
6. As my past history shows, the acquisition had a passion and commitment for Amiga at its core, and was certainly not meant to complicate the case. I never expected that it could be construed in this way. Four years later, due to this case, Amiga trademark and copyright ownerships and contractual rights remain more fragmented than they need to be. Out of an abundance of caution, we also have not yet set up the not-for-profit entity which was explicitly mentioned in the 2019 acquisition agreement, and which I always intended to be the entity to channel the long-term preservation efforts of Commodore/Amiga history and culture.
7. I had big hopes, but no actual control over the completion of the acquisition until the very day it actually happened on February 1, 2019. The timing of negotiations, as well as consummation of the purchase, were controlled by Reed Smith, which represented Amiga, Inc.
8. To close the Asset Purchase Agreement, Cloanto Corporation agreed to pay, and did pay, a large sum of money for the Amiga assets. In addition, both Cloanto Corporation and C-A Acquisition Corp. indemnified the Amiga Parties against all lawsuits, damages, and losses, including this one.
9. Because I did not know when the acquisition might occur, I delayed forming C-A Acquisition Corp. until it became necessary. C-A Acquisition Corp. was formed specifically for the purpose of holding the transferred trademarks and related rights.
10. During the long negotiations, I could not divulge to anyone that they were happening. Any number of Amiga-interested people, some who were quite wealthy, could have outbid me. Hyperion, too, could have opened their own negotiations and outbid me. For this reason, I did not and could not divulge the negotiations to anyone but my own attomeys.
11. Since this case started, I made numerous attempts to reach a settlement, including traveling on a number of occasions to meet Hyperion sharebolders Mr. Hermans, Mr. De Groote, and Mr. Dickinson, and to discuss settlement. When Hyperion confirmed to the Court on January 20, 2021, that 'the Parties reached the terms of settlement on the main agreement' and that only ancillary matters (i.e. some exhibits) needed attending, I felt an immeasurable sense of relief. Unfortunately, several days later Mr. Hermans pulled away from our agreement, providing a string of excuses unrelated to the actual agreed-upon terms.
I hereby state under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge." (snx)

Cross-Development: RADRunner
RADRunner supports the development of Amiga programs under other operating systems by waiting for the compiled programs on the Amiga side via network connection, without the requirement of a mounted file system, and then executing them.
A C++ 14 compiler is required. Besides the intended use, the reverse working direction, i.e. development on the Amiga and execution on another computer, would in itself also be possible. (snx)

Linux: Using Amiga software and imitating an Amiga desktop
Some time ago the hobby YouTube channel "Proteque - Classic Beige Nostalgia" showed in a video Experiencing that Amiga nostalgia on a modern Linux system, how on a computer with Debian installation an Amiga emulation is integrated into the desktop to use Amiga programs. In addition, the interface was adapted to the appearance of the Workbench. Many users then wanted to know how all this was done.
This is now explained in two further videos: part 1 shows how to integrate the Amiga software using FS-UAE and shared folders. Part 2, on the other hand, explains how to imitate the Amiga desktop. (dr)

Retro gaming: WHDLoad 18.9
Using WHDLoad, you can install games, scene demos and intros from cracking groups to your harddisk that were only working from floppy disks previously. Version 18.9 provides the following changes:
- fix: fixed possible race condition when using XPK compressed files
and multiple data directories, if a compressed file with the
same name was contained in two consecutive data dirs and was
the last compressed in the first dir and the first compressed
one in the subsequent dir it was preloaded two times and the
second one got visible to the installed program, this has been
corrected now
- fix: the Slave structure flag EmulDivZero now also works on 68010,
in previous version it always faulted (missing support for
different stack frame format on the 68010)
- fix: DIC option SkipTrack was broken in version 1.2, now fixed with
version 1.3 (CFou!)
- new: new local option ExecuteArgs to supply arguments to the
scripts/programs called via the ExecuteCleanup/Startup/...
options, using this it becomes possible to control the
behavior of the scripts in single install without the need to
have many different Execute* scripts
- new: if started from Workbench WHDLoad now opens a window
CON:////WHDLoad .../AUTO/CLOSE/WAIT for the ExecuteCleanup and
ExecuteStartup scripts which opens if there is any output
- chg: option Cache/S can also be specified in the global
configuration file (Tomaz)
- new: the kick13 emulation now also supports the WHDCtrl resident
command which can be used to quit WHDLoad, because the boot
CLI under 1.3 does not run resident commands a patch has been
implemented to add this feature (Hexaae)
- fix: now resload_ListFiles is able to list the install root
directory also when listing from cached files, this was broken
since the introduction of the feature to list cached files in
release 18.7, which broke for example Gauntlet3
- fix: depending on the already used chip memory WHDLoad has
corrupted read/write data (all io related Resload functions),
if the file cache feature wasn't used (NoWriteCache or
NoFileCache set), this may have corrupted saved data! this bug
has been introduced in WHDLoad release 18.4, thanks to DJ Mike
for reporting/testing
- chg: the options ExecutePostDisk and ExecutePreDisk are now working
as intended/documented, previously they were called only once
- fix: RawDIC has been updated to version 6.1 which fixes
compatibility with imager slaves which used DoubleInc and one
track too much in the tracklist (e.g. Beast)
- fix: made EmulChk working on 68010

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.11
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)
The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Today version 1.11 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes:
- New disk formats:
- Macintosh GCR: mac.400, mac.800
- DEC: dec.rx01, dec.rx02
- MSX: msx.1d, msx.1dd, msx.2d, msx.2dd
- Osborne 1: occ1.sd, occ1.dd
- HFE: Support interface= and encoding= header bytes
- TRS-80: Support FA DAM mark for directory sectors
- Applesauce: Support decoding *.a2r Applesauce image files
