Amiga Kit: Super Skidmarks now pre-installed on the A600GS
The classic Amiga racing game "Super Skidmarks", developed by Chris Blackbourn, will now be pre-installed on the new A600GS from AmigaKit. Users who already own the A600GS system can add the game to the game menu via a free update.

Skidmarks was first released in 1993 and was well-known and popular for its top-down multiplayer races and graphical quality. Two years later, Super Skidmarks followed with new features, more tracks and new vehicle types, including such absurdities as cars with caravans or cows on wheels.

Chris Blackburn has also announced Epic Skidmarks, which will allow players to race in multiplayer races in a web browser, according to the New Zealand developer. (nba)

Operating system for the Amiga: Second 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" and released a second alpha version, which is now available as a fully compiled ROM. Basically, all Amigas with a 68030 (or faster) processor are now supported. He has kindly provided us with the following comments on the new version:

"Version 0.2-alpha marks the first binary release of Serena OS. I think that the OS has now reached a point where you can actually play around and have fun with it, and where you may even be able to get something useful out of it.

Serena OS should run on any Amiga hardware with a 68030 or better processor. The kernel supports floating-point coprocessors like the 68882 too. However, the mathematical library libm is currently very incomplete.

The OS comes with a C99 compatible libc and an interactive shell. Please keep in mind that you are looking at an alpha version of the OS and that you are in fact witnessing the very early days of a new OS. Thus, there are bugs and incomplete features. However, the goal is to improve things as time progresses.

This version of the OS is distributed as a ROM image and the system boots from a disk image that is stored in ROM. This disk image is copied to a RAM disk at boot time. So it's possible to create files and directories. Just keep in mind that none of the things you create will survive a system restart.

People who feel adventures may build a version of the OS that boots from an ADF disk image. To do this, check out the project sources, comment out the BOOT_FROM_ROM:=1 line in the project Makefile and then build the project. This will give you an 880KB ADF file plus a new ROM image in the build/product folder which you can then load into an emulator.

Just keep in mind that right now the speed of the floppy disk is not great because there's no disk cache yet in the kernel and the floppy driver doesn't support writing to disks yet.

So how is Serena OS different from the original Amiga OS?

The most important difference is that Serena OS is far closer to the POSIX standard in terms of functionality and behavior than the original Amiga OS was. This is most noticeable (from the viewpoint of an app developer) in the sense that Serena OS does full resource tracking. This means that the OS automatically reclaims resources such as memory when an application terminates.

Another notable difference is that Serena OS is designed and built on modern ideas, development principles, practices and goals. For example, it implements pervasive preemptive concurrency in the form of virtual processors and dispatch queues rather than threads. Serena OS has completely moved beyond threads.

Additionally, the kernel is implemented using object-oriented design and implementation techniques, which makes it easier to create new drivers and file systems. There's also a stricter separation between kernel and user space in preparation for future virtual memory support.

Finally, the kernel and the user space portion of the OS are designed with 64bit processors and multiprocessor systems in mind. There's no specific support for multiprocessing in the system at this time. Though the system is designed and implemented in such a way that supporting this kind of hardware in the future is possible without having to introduce many changes to the system.

The Interactive Shell



Serena OS Version 0.2.0

Serena OS comes with an interactive shell that is very different from your typical Amiga OS or Unix shell: the shell implements a formally defined language. The advantage of this is that the language is easier to use and that its syntax doesn't follow arcane and incomprehensible rules that are a consequence of ad-hoc language design. Instead, the Serena shell language was designed with consistency and ease-of-use in mind.

This language, too, is based on modern design principles and practices: it is strongly typed, fully scoped, expression based and makes a clear distinction between mutable and immutable data. Expressions and commands may be freely mixed and even conditionals and loops are treated as expressions.

All that said, again, keep in mind that this is an alpha version of the shell that is still incomplete. Things like pipes and generic auto-capture of command results are things that are not yet supported. Nevertheless, it is possible to write shell scripts and do useful things, not just in the sense of juggling files around, but also in the sense that you can easily evaluate mathematical expressions right in the shell and shell scripts.

What's Next?

I've got many ideas lined up for the future of Serena OS. Though the next version will be primarily focused on fixing bugs, structural cleanups to enable the implementation of the next generation of features and full floppy disk support."

If you would like to test the ROM, it is best to use the profile for the Amiga 3000 under WinUAE and then set the path to the Serena ROM under ROM. If you enter the command 'list', you will see a few shell scripts as above, which act as a small "demo". (dr)

Online chiptune and music module player: Pixeltune
Back in 2014, Tomás Pollak, a journalist, developer and musician, released a first version of Pixeltune: a web-based player for chiptune and video game music that builds on a large collection of music that has been carefully archived over the years and indexed for quick and easy access. The sound is generated directly from the original files by emulating the sound chips that were actually used to render these files in the good old days.

He started his project because he loves music and MIDI and nerdy chiptunes on the one hand, and because he's a big fan of the demo scene and tracker music on the other. They would all "bring fond memories from the early days of the Internet-- the era of guestbooks, webrings and beautifully ugly pages, when it was a crazy place filled with weird and cool stuff!"

But also, there's a secondary goal and that is preservation. A big chunk of the music you'll find was hosted on websites that no longer exist. He wants to help preserve the history of sequenced music, and to honor all the incredibly talented composers whose creations still blow our minds decades later.

Under the title link you can find more than 250 pieces of Amiga music. Playing tip: Xenex (xenextitle.mod)! (dr)

Puzzle game: AmiBrixx v2.3 for all Amiga systems
Jörg 'Evil' Renkert has released version 2.3 of his puzzle game AmiBrixx. The player's task is to eliminate the stones stacked on the board by clicking on groups of the same colour. In doing so, the tiles above fall down and form new groups. The game ends when no more groups can be eliminated (amiga-news.de reported).

The new version was released due to some server updates. Some minor bug fixes and speed improvements are also included. The author welcomes feedback and is open to suggestions and requests for improvement. (dr)

MorphOS: Continued GMail support by Iris questionable
As Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek, author of the e-mail program Iris, reports in a forum post at title link, continued support for the American e-mail service GMail is questionable. Programs that are allowed to access this Google service are subject to certain requirements, including an annual security assessment.

This external audit would cost the programmer an additional 500 US dollars every year. Although currently evaluating options he does not believe that it is worth paying this much money per year just to keep frictionless GMail access in the app. (snx)

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.41
RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.99, which allows the development of games from various genres (e.g. Agonman). RedPill (YouTube video shows improved support of moving platforms) is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM. Jens 'Farbfinsternis' Henschel has written a tutorial.

All changes of updated version 0.9.41:
  • Image to tiles now can open a large image containing a map, extract its tileset, and optionally recreate this map in the current level.
  • Image to tiles checksum has been improved to avoid duplicates.
  • Now you can select the spritesheets to use for each Level, saving some valuable Chip Memory.
  • The used spritesheets in the level can be automatically calculated by the editor.
  • In Tileset Menu, Image to tiles can now be used to open a large image with a game map. The routine will generate all the tiles for this map, and will give the possibility to generate the level map as well.
  • In Objects Menu, in the Advanced section you can define the maximum speed you want your object to move. Useful for example, when you do not want your object to fall too fast.
  • Fetch mode Quadruple can now be used with Screen Widths: 320, 288 and 256. Using it will speed up games for AGA Amigas without FastRAM.
  • Added a project named BobPerfTest to be able to check performance with the different fetch modes.
  • Added action trigger Follow Object Free, works as previous one but instead of using 8 directions for moving, movement is smooth vector based.
  • When using Help key or ? button to get screen information, now you can click More button that will open the HTML help with detailed info.
  • The tool to open HTML files can be defined in the REDPILLEditor Icon.
  • Project ex_mapenemies has been updated win new graphics and using the new Follow Obj Free trigger.
  • ECS parallax now supports vertical movement.
  • Red CD32 button is now equivalent to normal Joypad first button.
  • Vampire can usage can now be detected using the condition trigger Processor. It will return 8 for 68080.
  • Fix Triggonometry startup issue that caused Trig funcions to not work.
  • Fix weird behaviour when static objects are deleted from the level.
  • Fixed issue when using Inv Speed triggers.
  • Giving more info about the errors in Level Properties screen.

Using image files and discs in PC drives: DiskFlashback v1.0.2
Developer Rob Smith has written 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 (amiga-news.de reported). Now he has released version 1.0.2 of the software. Changes:
  • Sped up the Greaseweazle track reading speed by almost double
  • Sped up the Supercard PRO track reading speed by almost double
  • Small speed up for DrawBridge reading too!
  • Sped up disk writing as well!
  • Added special message for people just trying to run the DiskFlashback EXE and wondering why it doesn't do anything
  • Added new "Clean Drive Heads" option for real floppy drives (cleaning disk required)
  • Re-arranged all physical drive related commands into its own menu
  • Added option to toggle the auto-starting up the system tray icon with Windows
  • Changed how new versions of the application are detected to hopefully get around some previous false positives
  • Mount physical Amiga HD/Memory Card disks as drive letters (OFS/FFS/PFS only)

  • Fixed some issues with some dual-format disk images not showing both parts
  • Fixed issues with Tri-format disks (they're actually dual-format really)
  • Fixed an issue with dual-format disks where number of heads was incorrectly used for PC/Atari side
  • Fixed issue where re-reading bad Amiga sectors didn't work properly
  • Fixed a strange seek issue when ejecting real floppy disks
  • Fixed issue with some dialogs disappearing behind explorer after message was shown
