New subversion server for AROS
The subversion repository with the source code of AROS has moved to the server of Neil Cafferkey and Staf Verhaegen. The used URL stayed the same.

Thus the problem should be solved not having access to the repository for several weeks. In the Wiki it is described how to get an account. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Crowdfunding: Amiga movie "From Bedroom to Billions - The Amiga Years!"
While "Viva Amiga" has not been released yet, under the title link money is collected for another Amiga movie. The initiators already recorded "From Bedroom to Billions" which is a documentation about the British history of video games from 1979 till now. "The Amiga Years!" will be dedicated to the days of glory of this computer lasting 90 minutes.

The movie is supposed to be released in January 2016. For that project, already 14.133 out of 50.000 pounds have been donated. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Workbench enhancement: BetterWB 4.0
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench enhancements for AmigaOS 3.1, which are useful but rather simple and therefore require low hardware configuration.

Changes in version 4.0:
  • Rebooter has now a fast performing bootable ram option
  • LockDevice is a command which between other things, changes the read and write status of a drive
  • Icon.library has been updated to 46.4.408
  • Fat95 has been updated to 3.18
  • Dir now generates a wider and more clear display mode
  • ConBuffer gives scrollbars to any CLI (configured by default for Zshell)
  • A new commodity, PM, a cpu/process meter
  • Datatypes.library 45.4 corrects several bugs and is a little bit faster than its previous counterpart
  • DOSDrivers for Jaz and Zip drives are included. If you still have one of those magnetic dinosaurs ;)
  • Reduced the memory footprint just another extra bit
  • A few more minor fixes and tweaks

Sakura (ANF)


Preorder: New external floppy drive
Under the title link, at RetroAmi an external floppy drive developed by Sakura (producer of PCMCIA-SRAM-card for the Amiga 600/1200) can be ordered. The pictures of the drive show the non-painted prototype. The final, black Gehäuse case additionally will have included some minor changes.

The floppy drive is compatible to the external ports of all Amiga models but does not support "looping through". That means if you use other external drives of different producers, you can only use it as last drive.

The preordered model is based on a modified PC-drive but is "fully compatible with 880kB DD Amiga floppy disks". For financial reasons there will be not a HD-drive with modified 1,44-MB-PC mechanics, but the platine has been prepared for it. You can upgrade an Amiga-HD floppy drive for using HD-diskd (1,76 MB) on your own with a jumper.

As preorder, the floppy drive costs about 47 Euro (195 Złoty). Later the product will be more expensive. It will be delivered by the end of April. (snx) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Aminux 3
Aminux is a collection of Olaf Schönweiß' AROS/68k-distribution AROS Vision and the Amiga emulator FS-UAE, which is launched from an USB-stick based on the Linux distribution Mikroknoppix. An installation will be not necessary.

Aminux r3 changelog:
  • Updated linux ground
  • Updated to latest "stable" FS-UAE
  • Updated to latest AROS Vision
  • Created a 4 GB FAT32 extra partition (8 GB USB stick is required), so that people can install AmigaOS there or add ADFs
Users of bigger USB-sticks can change the size of the partition using GParted (included). A video (which was not tested by Olaf Schönweiß) shows, how to install Knoppix on harddrive.

Please note that due to download restrictions of DropBox, the archive can only be downloaded ten times a day.

Computer Collection Vienna: Amiga-1000-Prototype Velvet / Oldest Kickstart
Under the title link, Stefan Egger has presented a prototype of an Amiga 1000 which is part of his collection, the Computer Collection Vienna. The Kickstart version of the board called "Velvet" is supposed to be the oldest known version; it is three months older than the known version 0.7.

Stefan Egger wrote on his website: "What is special about that machine? It only comes with 128k RAM and can be expanded by another 128k on front expansion port to a maximum of 256k. This expansion is known to exist! You surely heared about stories that Commodore did want to reduce the Memory of Amiga, but the Amiga Team did not want that. That is maybe why they ended up with a standard of 256k on the A1000, that was expandable to a maximum of 512k by an A1050 RAM Expansion module.

Another thing are the names: Daphne (later "Denise"), Portia (later "Paula") and Agnus. And Daphne had a IC number of AM4705A, the others have 8364 (Paula/Portia) and 8361 (NTSC Agnus), just like their later equivalents." (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: exFAT file system
Rupert Hausberger has ported the exFAT file system (Wikipedia) to MorphOS. It is not an adaption of the version of AmigaOS 4 (amiga-news.de reported), but a direct and completely native port.

Rupert Hausberger wrote: "Due to license restrictions, the version with write-support is not included as a binary-file. For testing and private use, you may compile the version with write-support by removing __READ_ONLY__ in the makefile. See the source-code distribution of this release." (snx) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood 6.0: Epiphany available now
Press release: Three years after the release of Hollywood 5, Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 6: Epiphany.

Hollywood 6 is a massive update with a myriad of new functions. The most important new feature is the complete abstraction of the core components display, audio and DOS. These can now be completely replaced by plugins which opens up totally new possibilities. For example, it is possible to replace Hollywood's inbuilt display driver with a custom implementation now. A plugin, which uses this new interface to make OpenGL available to Hollywood, will be released shortly.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 6:
  • Complete abstraction of the display, audio and DOS core components
  • Support for multiple monitors
  • Support for OS-native menu bars
  • ARM-Linux is now supported (e.g. for the Raspberry Pi!)
  • Stand-alone versions of Hollywood for Linux and Mac OS X are now included
  • Videos can be used as normal Hollywood layers now including all effects and filters
  • Hardware-accelerated video playback on AmigaOS 4 with the new RadeonHD driver
  • Full AmiDock support including animated dockies and context menus
  • AHI driver completely rewritten: it no longer blocks the audio of other applications now
  • Hollywood's IO implementation is ready for streaming now
  • Script execution on AmigaOS is significantly faster now
  • Support for multiple Xservers on Linux
  • Massive extension of the plugin interface: its size has doubled!
  • Support for HTTP upload and authentification
  • Inbuilt vectorgraphics renderer for perfectly smooth antialiased shapes
  • 300 kb of new documentation
  • New example scripts
  • Standard library set encompasses almost 700 functions now!
  • Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes
Hollywood 6: Epiphany is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on a CD-ROM and as a download version. Both versions include Hollywood builds for all supported platforms. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android platform. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows, Mac OS X (x86 & PPC) and Linux (x86 & PPC & ARM). You don't even have to own these platforms in order to compile executables for them. It's enough to run Hollywood on one of the supported platforms and then compile programs for all the others! Only Hollywood makes it possible.

If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal at the title link, which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 6: Epiphany now because life begins at 6.0! (snx)

Windows: ADTWin 1.2
ADTWin is a programm which unter Windows can write Amiga disks (amiga-news.de reported) to use the content of ADF-files on real Amigas. Changes in version 1.2:
  • Support for parallel port PCI cards
  • Automatic deactivation of Windows' "warm polling" mechanism (which can disrupt ADTWin's write operation)
  • Drag&Drop support
  • Bug fix: With some floppy drives (e.g. MITSUMI D359T5) there was a problem when moving the read/write head too early after selecting the drive, resulting in corrupt disks, although no errors were reported

NES-remake: "Solomon's Key 2"
"hukka" has released an remake of the NES-game Solomon's Key 2 / Fire'n Ice for classic Amigas. The game has been written in assembly and should run on any PAL-Amiga.

You can play Solomon's key using keyboard or joystick. The second fire button can be used to access the ingame menu. Some features of the NES-game have been not implemented ('Castle' levels and other levels with lava floor/scrolling/moving enemies have been replaced with custom levels), but a level editor is included.
