Team 17: Martyn Brown deceased
According to various forums, probably all based on a message on X, Martyn Brown, co-founder of game developer Team 17, has died at the age of 57.
British computer graphics veteran Shaun McClure reported on Facebook that Brown had been very ill for a long time following a series of strokes. The last time he spoke to him would have been via a voice emulator. (snx)

MorphOS: 10th alpha version of PanelApp
For one and a half years, Stefan 'Kronos' Kleinheinrich has been working on his resumed project to revise the operating system's panels, which have remained virtually unchanged since MorphOS 1.4.
Public testing of the alpha versions is accompanied in the corresponding MorphZone thread. With its now published number 10, the point has been reached where Ambient itself needs to be revised, which is why future tests will no longer be possible with a generally available version of the MorphOS workbench.

SSL library: wolfSSL for the Amiga
wolfSSL is an open source C library that is primarily intended to provide devices and applications in the embedded sector with an SSL solution. One of the developers involved has now adapted the library to the Amiga: He describes the implementation in a detailed blog, the source code is available on Github.
The author himself would like to try to implement the wolfSSL-based Secure Shell wolfSSH for the Amiga next. It is also possible - although not necessarily planned by him - to use it as a replacement for AmiSSL, to port other tools from the wolfSSL suite or to adapt it to one of the ARM cores in a ZZ9000 graphics card in order to relieve the 68k processor of the complex SSL calculations.

Operating system for the Amiga: Third alpha version of "Serena OS"
At the end of 2022, we reported on the start of Dietmar Planitzer's project to write "Apollo", an experimental operating system for the Amiga 3000/4000. The developer has since renamed his project "Serena OS" (amiga-news.de reported) and released a third alpha version, which is available as a fully compiled ROM. Basically, all Amigas with a 68030 (or faster) processor are supported. The developer writes about the new version:
"The biggest change in this release is the introduction of the disk subsystem and significant improvements to the driver architecture. Booting off and working with double-density floppy disks is now supported.
The diskimage tool has also seen significant improvements: it now allows you to format an Amiga disk image (adf) with SerenaFS, list existing files, push files to a disk image, pull a file off a disk image, create directories, delete files, get and overwrite individual disk blocks and generate a diff of the disk blocks of two disk image files.
Thus you can now use the diskimage tool to create, list and manipulate SerenaFS formatted Amiga disk images on your host system.
Another significant enhancement is that Serena OS now supports a device filesystem (devfs). This filesystem is mounted at /System/Devices and lists all active drivers. An application may open a driver and use the read/write system calls to interact with it. Note however, that disk drivers are the only drivers in this release that actually support read/write operations from user space.
Serena OS implements a disk cache that caches data read from a (floppy) disk. Note that right now all writes are implemented as synchronous writes. The data is cached but the application is still forced to wait until the data has been written to disk. A future version will change this behavior such that an application will not have to wait for a write to finish.
Here is a more detailed list of changes since the previous release:
- more complete C library. Ie added qsort(), itoa() family of functions, etc
- many bug fixes across libc and the kernel
- a number of kernel optimizations
- significantly improved the reliability and performance of in-kernel dispatch queues
- worked out more details of the kernel driver architecture
- added support for disk drivers to the kernel
- added a disk cache to the kernel
- added a device filesystem to the kernel
- FileManager and FileHierarchy are now the kernel components that handle file operations and path resolution
- complete rework of the diskimage tool
- added support for building libtool, makerom and keymap on POSIX (Linux, macOS) systems

Video: Doom clone "Grind" 0.5
The Doom clone "Grind" should run on any Amiga with at least one and a half megabytes of RAM and a hard disk. The "DevArena" level shown in the video was originally created as a test area for new enemies and functions and actually serves as a stress test for the grind engine. For this reason, at least an A1200 with Fast RAM is recommended for DevArena. (cg)

Crossfire II: Soundtrack released on Spotify/Apple Music
Just over 20 years after the release of the Amiga game Crossfire II, the soundtrack has now been released on Spotify and Apple Music. It contains both the in-game music by Timo Kloss and the background music for the video sequences by Markus Holler.
The music by Timo Kloss was composed on an Amiga 4000T with the Camouflage program and recorded via MIDI with external audio hardware. Unfortunately, only the 8-bit mono recordings still exist, so it sounds exactly the same now as it did in the game.
Markus Holler's music was composed on an Atari ST with Cubase and played back via MIDI. In the end, however, the audio was recorded again with an Amiga. Recordings in CD quality still exist here, which were used for the soundtrack that has now been released. Timo Kloss was not involved in the production of Markus Holler's tracks, the Spotify/Apple interface unfortunately implies otherwise.
Timo Kloss would like to thank the developers of the game (Thomas and Stefan Schulze from Dreamworlds) for the permission to officially publish the soundtrack. Incidentally, the game was also ported to Windows a few years ago and is available on Steam now.

Assembler: ASM-Pro 1.21 released
ASM-Pro is a MC680x0 macro assembler for the Amiga with an integrated editor, debugger, linker and monitor. The program offers full MC680x0, FPU and MMU support. About a year after the last update, ASM-Pro has now been brought up to version 1.21. The changes:
ADDITIONS
- ASM: Optional multi-line scroll (8 lines instead of only 1) to speed up assembly when output is verbose (e.g. large number of included files or print directives). Check Multiscroll in the assembler preferences.
- ASM: New integer operator: modulo // (e.g. 123//20 returns 3).
BUGFIXES
- ASM: REM/EREM block was not allowed in BSS sections.
- CMDLN: RB (read binary) causes a crash if begin address is unparsable.
- UI: Bevel box is slightly off for the top parameter groups in the environment preferences.
- CMDLN: @-prefixed dump commands incorrectly check for odd address and cpu version, causing a crash on 68000/010 systems.
- ASM: Directives and instructions in the first line of a REPT 0 block starting with either @ or A cause internal error.
- ASM: Incorrectly parsed number of bitplanes while including an IFF colormap causes memory list corruption.
- ASM: Whitespace lines in a macro could cause the Unexpected end of file error and consequent editor freeze.

Action game: Amiga Yoomp! released
In contrast to Marek Duda's realisation of the game Yoomph!, originally written for the Atari, which he called "Jump!" and which is written explicitly for AGA Amigas (amiga-news.de reported), Zbigniew Ross' aim was to see how the game could be made to run on an Amiga 500
Now he has published the result (video): an improved port of his C64 conversion that runs on OCS Amigas, but also on later models with faster processors and better graphics options. (dr)

Amiga emulator for macOS: vAmiga v3.0b3
Starting with version 2.6.1, developer Dirk Hoffmann made changes to the internal architecture of his Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS with the aim of porting the new emulator architecture of VirtualC64 v5.0 to vAmiga in order to enable features such as Run-Ahead (background article). Now he has released the second beta version of version. Changes compared to the second beta version:
- vAmiga can parse SDL controller descriptions, thus supporting a much broader variety of gamepads now
- Fixed a write-protection bug related to hard drives
- Resuming the emulator in warp mode no longer unmutes audio
The minimum system requirement for its emulator is macOS 11.0. (dr)

Amiga show: "Amiga 40" on October 18 and 19, 2025
As announced by the organizers at a1k.org (registration required, German), the next edition of “Amiga xx” will take place on 18 and 19 October 2025 at Kunstwerk - das rote Krokodil in Mönchengladbach-Wickrath, admission is from 10 a.m. each day. Some details about the event have already been communicated by the organizers:
- 2 levels: below the exhibitors, above the stage plus some additional tables - whereby the upper area is open and not a separate room
- Almost 120 tables are available
- Catering will be provided by the Kunstwerk, on-site payment for food and drinks will only be possible by card and not in cash. In exceptional cases, however, we will help at our cash desk in the entrance area
- Maximum number of visitors per day limited to just under 1000 people (for Amiga37 and Amiga38 there was a maximum of 850 people)
- Free parking spaces
- Shopping facilities in the vicinity
Ticket sales are scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2025, as usual via the show's own ticket store. There will again be individual tickets for Saturday and Sunday, as well as discounted tickets for both days. In addition, around 20 user tables will again be offered for all those who want to present their Amigas and more non-commercially and contribute to the diversity of the event. There will also be some after-show tickets or all-in tickets and free tickets for all guests up to the age of 16. Exact prices are not yet known.
Registrations for commercial exhibitors will be possible from the end of the year - if you are interested, please send a message to info@amigaevent.de. A table for commercial exhibitors for both days will cost between 75,- Euro and 80,- Euro plus VAT.
Similar to the Amiga 38, a "Community Award" and an "Aftershow Party" - i.e. an evening event - are also planned, but there is no information on this yet.
The main sponsor will once again be A-Eon (Trevor Dickinson). It is hoped that further supporters from the commercial sector can be announced shortly. In addition, support is once again being sought in all areas: From sponsorship to support with planning and realization to on-site staffers - technicians for a "repair corner" are also being sought. Potential supporters are also asked to contact info@amigaevent.de. (cg)
