AROS: Gigalomania 0.25
Mark Harman has ported Gigalomania to AROS/x86. This game is an imitation of the Amiga classic Mega lo Mania. It is still in development and has over 28 different maps.

The AROS-version requires a high stack but the default value of the Shell with 1024000 should be sufficient.

FS-UAE: Game database for FS-UAE-Launcher, Game-launcher in progress
Frode Solheim is developing a game database which will complete his Amiga emulator FS-UAE. The database can be accessed under fengestad.no/games/ and users can add additional information, screenshots snd box-scans. The download section of Solheim's is already offering "development" versions of FS-UAE which can retrieve information from the database.

The games which are installed on your harddrive are recognized by its checksum and the corresponding information and pictures will be downloaded from the game database and the correct configuration options (chipset, CPU, memory...) will be chosen for the game. Additionally a new "Game Center" is in progress with which you will be able to browse existing games with a "cover-browsers" via joystick or joypad:



If you want to help adding new information to the game database or testing the functions, you can write a mail to fs-uae@fengestad.no to get an user-account. You can find further information in brief instruction written by Solheim. (cg) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: Further status update on G5 porting
Almost one and a half monthes after his latest status update, Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen reports again about his G5 porting of MorphOS at the title link. Besides smaller tasks, now only sound support remains to be implemented. While the bounty deadline is officially set to be March 3, actual release depends on the time required for other team members' components for MorphOS 3.2 to be finished and the subsequent beta-testing, he says.

Individual Computers: Pictures and information on ACA 500 prototype (Update)
Last year Individual Computers announced their ACA 500, a simple expansion for the Amiga 500 whose claim to fame is the ability to connect accelerator boards from Indivudiual Computers that were originally developed for the Amiga 1200 (ACA 1231/1232).

Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers has now published some pictures of the current prototype and a short status report on a1k.org and posted the product specifications:
  • 68EC000 with 14,3MHz
  • external connection, A500 does not have to be opened
  • Computer gets only 3cm wider
  • two CF card slots: One for booting, the other for "exchanging data" with the PC
  • 2 MByte RAM: 1,5M can be used, 512k reserved for Maprom
  • Trapdoor memory extensions can be used
  • Chipmem extensions can be used
  • ROM for things which I will make public later
  • Extension port for local hardware, will be documented (14MHz 16-Bit = twice Zorro-speed)
  • Clockport
  • Cover made of stainless steel (no completely closed cover)
  • can be extended by ACA1231/ACA1232

Originally the ACA 500 was supposed to become an internal extension but according to Schönfeld he had to drop this approach. The Version seen on the pictures will be the form factor used in the final product, only a cover made of stainless steel will be added.

The manufacturer will only support the combination of ACA 500 and an in-house A1200 extension (ACA 12xx series, with the exception of the ACA 1230). Accelerator boards developed by different producers would be used at one's own risk. First tests indicate that the Blizzard boards produced by Phase 5 are not yet compatible with the ACA 500 but this problem may still be solved according to Schönfeld.

The current target price is about 80 Euro.

Update: (13.02.2013, 15:30, cg)

Now Jens Schönfeld presents a new approach, where the ACA 500 would be positioned flat instead of upright. Additionally, a solution for the Blizzard compatibility problem might have been found, even if it's still not clear if all issues have been solved already and how the solution will be integrated into the final product.
