File manager: MCAmiga 0.5 for all Amiga systems (update)
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's MCAmiga is a file manager similar to Norton and Midnight Commander which additional to the mouse interface can be also completely controlled with the keyboard. MCAmiga is available for AmigaOS (m68k, PPC), MorphOS and AROS (x86, x64, ARM). The program at least requires 4 MB RAM. According to the author the AmigaOS 4 version does not run on a X5000.


Changes in version 0.5:
  • video fixes
  • browse, copy, move, rename, view/edit in lha/lzx archives
  • browse, extract, view files from xad supported archive types
  • start executables by pressing (shift) enter
  • tools menu
  • now includes a build for 68000 CPUs
Hint of the editors: Obviously MCAmiga does not work with Vampire systems, due to the affinity of the Vampire team with operating system "Coffin OS" which also includes illegal copies. The corresponding error message is slightly misleading and suggests a incorrect detection of Coffin OS.

Update: (29.05.2020, 23:00, cg)

According to the author in the comments of his blog, he only forgot to remove the bloackade of the Vampire. The author wrote: "It was my try to point to a problem… seems not many people care.. so it became stupid and useless… therefore I decided a while before already to remove that."

USB adapter for classic joystick: UJOY/1A
The US-American retailer has developed another adapter for connecting an Atari/Commodore-compatible joystick to a modern computer: UJOY/1A uses an USB micro controller "Silicon Laboratories EFM8UB1" to make old joysticks understand the USB protocol. The adapter is available for 19 USD, the schematic (but not the documents for making a board) are available for free as PDF. (cg) (Translation: dr)

A4000 motherboard suitable for ATX cases: A4000TX
Two years ago the Finnih developer 'hese7' offered his A4000 motherboard clone A4000+ Alice and promised an ATX-compatible version. The aim of the developer was to create a version of the A4000cr motherboard including the daughterboard which is compatible to ATX cases and power supplies and additionally supports fullsize Zorro cards.

Meanwhile the clone has been finished. On Amibay you can purchase empty boards in a collective order. The latest Revision 1.1 offers the following features:
  • ATX form factor (actually a hybrid ATX/EATX form factor)
  • uses standard ATX power supply
  • 68030 processor and 68882-FPU
  • CPU slot connector for accelerator cards
  • four full-length Zorro III slots
  • three (inactive) ISA slots
  • 3.5" IDE port
  • extended video slot
  • onboard Fast RAM support up to 112MB (Meutoxo)
  • Kickstart ROM support up to 4MB (Romy)
  • Amiga mouse and joystick ports
  • PC PS/2 keyboard and PC PS/2 mouse support
  • support for native Amiga and PC floppy drives
  • 24-pin breakout header with full RGB port support (for external scandoublers, genlocks, SCART cables, etc..)
  • power connectors for two case fans
  • serial and parallel ports, 3.5mm stereo jack
  • on-board RTC with battery

Replica of A1200 mainboard: ReAmiga 1200 Revision 1.5
John 'Chucky' Hertell has published an updated version of his A1200 clone ReAmiga 1200. Revision 1.5 among others offers a S-Video instead of a Composite-Video port.

Changes:
  • Fixed a signal shorted to VCC in Rev1.4 (C0D)
  • Added a 74LS08 so now H and V sync is always buffered (this NEEDS to be installed or you will not get V and H sync out onto the monitors)
  • this to allow longer monitorcables and also save Alice if something goes wrong when hotplugging monitorcable.
  • Colorsignals to RGB and VGA port is now always via the PNP transistor buffers, so RGB port will not be a darker color. It is not recomended to
  • attach 2 monitors at once.
  • Composite out is now optional Composite OR Svideo out. (you cannot move old RCA to new board due to this) SVideo needs to be installed aprox 1mm “over” the PCB.
  • Included a “Svideo” standoff for this. do that PCB as a 1mm pcb.
  • Added connector for 7V fan (actually where 5V is “gnd” and 12V is plus)
  • Added leds for _RST, _KB_RST, _ODD_CIA, _EVEN_CIA and _ROMEN also to Serial TXD and RXD (from the 5V level)
  • TOTALLY OPTIONAL!. Resistor at bottom 470Ohm so it is not that bright this is for all leds, change to higher or lower after taste (lowest 33Ohm).
  • Moved Mouseconnector and shrunk PCB some so you can have a mouse PCB like Amiga 1200 Rev 2.
  • Added mousePCB compatible with Amiga 1200 Rev 2 aswell that have a optional Joysticktester (not mousedirection)
  • Added jumperheaders for selectable PAL/NTSC Default start (then do not populate that 0ohm resistor, now removed from locator and pick&place data)
  • Moved VGA Connector so it aligns more to other Dsubs.
  • Adopted components so you can do a full socket of board (remember that sockets is a source of problems)
  • Added resistor to IDE Activity so now adapters that made IDE led always bright will be handled correct.
  • Moved extra powerconnector slightly to not touch BVision when installed.
  • Fixed Silkscreen so all used components now have value.
  • Added pads close to floppyconnector for a 0Ohm resistor if you want to do the Escom floppypatch instead of a wire.
  • Added pads close to ROM socket for optional DRA0 pullup that some machines had with a 470Ohm (I think) resistor from clockport to a via. now a SMD resistor can be used.
  • At bottom of board close to optional 1K resistor for zenerdiode, added a pad for possability to disable the default “sync on green” if wanted. cut and solder

Portrait: The RedPill developer Carlos Peris
Besides the well-known developers like Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener (Wings Remastered, MiniGL4GL4ES, Tower 57) or Hans de Ruiter (ZitaFTP, Warp3D Nova) there are a number of other active developers we would like to introduce to our readers in a loose succession.

We would like to start with the Spanish programmer Carlos "trackerhero" Peris. He might be known to our readers for his Amiga game editor RedPill which recently has been updated to version 0.7.14. Additional to Peris the Spanish graphic artist Jordi Palome belongs to the team of Redpill who also has created the logo.


Peris is a professional developer for mobile games working for Ubisoft in Barcelona. Developing software for the Amiga is nothing but a hobby. And although he prefers programming games, he uses his game editor RedPill but, as he explained, "making them in the game editor helps me a lot to put me in the user position and help to improve the tool." Although the editor provides limited features hehopes that the Amiga Fans are interested in RedPill and use it. Peris frankly admits that he finds it easier to start projects than finishing them with a final and satisfying result. Sometimes this is also reflected in his Amiga biography:

This started in 1993. At the age of 14 he got an Amiga. He was impressed: "What a machine!". Thus, as he said himself, he "arrived a bit late to the Amiga scene" using his computer mainly for games. Some years later he got an Amiga 1200 and started programming in Blitz Basic. The first results he himself described as "ugly games" e.g. Wave Run Gold, Whirlwind or Amidonkey. Many of them, as mentioned, unfinished.

Simultaneously he also joined the demo scene, especially "Ozone", writing in 68k assembler. His biggest contribution was the Intro for the "Trashcan 5" demo.

Like many others, at the beginning of the year 2000 he got a PC and learned programming in different languages. He never left the Amiga and at that time among others he released the game which name also became his "pseudonym": Tracker Hero (video). It is a music game similar to "Guitar Hero". He also wrote the game X-MasDisaster at this time.


Screenshot of the RedPill game "Mirror"

Now he completely concentrates on RedPill and games based on it. His main goal is to simplify creating 8-Bit games. Nowadays he thinks again more retro games are released. He guessed that "it took more time to the amigans to get back to its passion". Fortunately he could recriut his partner Jordi Palome for his recently started game project HappyBat so we are looking forward for updates.

One request the developer has: "What would help me the most is someone that helps me to explain Redpill to people, like doing tutorials, videos, whatever. I have no time and am not really good at it, and it is really very important!" You can contact the author via the website of RedPill but of course we also can pass on any feedback or support you would provide to him. (dr) (Translation: dr)

Arcade port: Tapper, version 02A
"Tapper" (video) is a port of the arcade classic game from 1983 to the Amiga. In this new test version all gameplay features have been implemented except the sound. The author said: "Still got a fair bit of work in Dpaint to do as well as a few bits of game code to write but I think it's coming along quite nicely." (cg) (Translation: dr)

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.7.14
RedPill is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which can help developing games of diverse genres - see our little review of two games. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast RAM.

Changes in version 0.7.14:
  • New action trigger Play Anim 8 to play an animation based in the direction of the object.
  • Play Anim 8 uses 8 anims, starting with the Up/North Animation, and in clock-wise order. It uses 8 animations.
  • New action trigger Play Anim 4 to play an animation based in the direction of the object.
  • Play Anim 4 uses 4 anims, starting with the Up/North Animation, and in click/wise order. It uses 4 animations.
  • In a level, when a background image is used without any tiles placed, the palette from the image will be used.
  • For HUD bar elements, now it is possible to adjust the height of the bar.
  • Extra check in Auto Slice to avoid slicing a big image by mistake.
  • Level editor map now shows all available area instead of the camera limits area.
  • FIX: Tile properties display fixed when using tiles with border.
  • FIX: Fix in export game routines.
  • FIX: moving a livel object leaved some trash in the screen.
  • FIX: Level editor now can scroll to the bottom of the level.
  • FIX: Fix in edit trigger up/down controls, now last trigger is reachable.

MorphOS: E-mail client Iris, beta version 85
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is supposed to become the standard mail program for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and can read and create HTML mails. Among others Iris now display GMail threads. Besides, "the autoconfiguration of emails was significantly improved, especially for GMail-managed domains and Yahoo."

The author appreciates any feedback. Please use the corresponding MorphZone discussion. (snx) (Translation: dr)
