Demoparty: "Zenta" (27. - 30.12) in Bingen am Rhein, Germany
Traditionally, a demo party is held in Germany between Christmas and New Year: Initially named "TuM", later "Under Construction". This year there is a special edition with the "Zenta" from 27 to 30.12, because for this the old "Palazzo" building in Bingen am Rheim, which was one of the most famous techno clubs in Germany in the 90s, could be rented, before it will be converted into a hotel next year (PC invitation demo as YouTube video).
The house has two floors: the lower part will be the hard action with laser shows. The upper part will be the Zen area, where there will be chill-out music, cozy corners and a relaxed atmosphere. The Amiga will be represented by 'RufUsul' from the demo group Abyss, among others. There will also be various competitions, where all platforms are allowed. (dr)

Puzzle game: Boxed edition and demo version of Connect
In the puzzle game "Connect" (screenshots), you have to connect a series of ICs in such a way that each chip receives exactly the number of connections printed on its package. Today LogicalByte has started selling the boxed edition of the game. It can be purchased for 29 Euro (plus shipping) on its website. By that, you get also access to the download version on itch.io.
For those who are undecided, a playable demo version is also available for download on itch.io as of today. A German and English tutorial have been produced to help you get started with the game (YouTube videos for each). (dr)

Kickstarter campaign: Checkmate 19" IPS Retro Monitor
Already in April this year (reported) Stephen Jones announced a Kickstarter campaign to finance monitors for retrocomputers. This was now started two days ago (detailed YouTube video) and of the targeted 240,171 Euros, already a quarter, about 67,000 Euros have been reached.
For around 310 euros, you buy a Checkmate 19" IPS Retro Monitor, where the panel is not included in the price. Jones explains this by saying that part of the budget taken allows the search for two other panel options: in addition to the standard panel (priced), a less expensive variant and the "Unicorn" panel, with all the features imaginable.
With the Kickstarter contribution, the backer thus receives the following:
- Monitor chassis (excluding the display panel)
- panel controller electronics including remote control and cabling
- Stereo 3" speakers and cables
- External power supply
- Strong packaging for shipping
In a second step, once the ordering system and panel options are ready, people will be contacted in April/May 2023 and they will be able to choose one of the three possible panel types and any extras they want to pay for (plus shipping costs and local taxes, if applicable).
Panel options:
- A lower cost but still good quality panel
- Default panel as shown in these videos (ca. 145 Euro)
- A higher specification panel aimed at low latency, and if possible, a higher quality display

Action game: Chaos Arena released
"Last Minute Creations" is a Polish group of Amiga game developers and has now released their third game after "GermZ" and "'Atarenium Falcon" (amiga-news.de reported): "Chaos Arena".
The goal of the game is to push opponents out of the arena by attacking them. The whole thing is made more difficult by the fact that all players look the same, so you first have to find out who you are. In addition, the arena is constantly shrinking. Features of the game:
- Chaotic and fierceful duel between 12 warriors
- Simultaneous 6-player versus mode
- 3 chaotic arenas
- You've lost too early? Strike remaining players with thunders!
An Amiga 500 with Kickstart 1.3, 512KB CHIP-RAM and 512KB RAM is required. (dr)

Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 driver development for Compute Module 4 finished
At the end of October, we reported that developer Michal Schulz was going to make all the necessary improvements and fixes to Emu68 and the low-level drivers needed to make them work properly with Compute Module 4. As he now reports in his latest Patreon blog entry, the work is considered almost complete.
Furthermore an own adapter board is in work. There will be a version for Amiga 500/600 and one for PiStorm32-lite. The first will be smaller and simpler, the second will have more hardware on board, maybe even an NVMe port. (dr)

Emulator: vAmigaWeb v2.2 beta1
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator for MacOS vAmiga. At the end of September, the version vAmigaWeb v3.0 beta1 was released, which had the MMU integration within the planned 68030 CPU as a goal. Since the 68030 hardware available in the development team turned out to be unsuitable, the MMU project was put on hold for the time being.
In the now available version 2.2 beta 1, support for the Amiga three-button controller can be selected in the settings. Also, the emulator now has 20% to 40% more efficiency, however the minimum browser requirements have also increased: they are now Chrome V95, Firefox V100 and Safari V15.2.10. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: FTP client AmiFTP 1.953
At the beginning of 2010, for the last time amiga-news.de reported on the FTP client AmiFTP. Ten years later, Matthias 'djBase' Münch (maintainer of Amigaworld) started a discussion about the further development of the client on OS4Welt. A source code was found but not of the OS4 version. After requesting, Frank Menzel (Entwickler-X) agreed to examine the source code.
After testing, first changes were made and adapted to AmigaOS 4 and compiler, bugs were removed and new small functions were added. After a longer break, the first version was released on Github in August 2022. An important step to preserve the source code and to motivate other developers to contribute to the project (e.g. SSL support).
Javier de las Rivas has made many improvements and bug fixes since the release of the source code, which have been reviewed and put into a public main branch by Frank Menzel. This makes version 1.953 available to AmigaOS4 users and hopefully a start for further development on AmiFTP. Changes:
Adaptions for first AmigaOS 4 version (Frank Menzel)
- Update project to be able to compile with GCC
- Switch GUI from ClassAct to Reaction
- Toolbar uses AISS Icon Set
- Switch from Reqtools to OS4 Requester
- Adapt AmiTCP Network Hook to work with Roadshow
- Remove obsolete DOS functions
- AmiFTP now works with files larger than 4GB
- Bugfixes
Further enhancements and improvements (Javier de las Rivas)
- Speedbar can be changed to TEXT/IMAGES/BOTH
- "Cleaned" some of the GUI's ReAction code.
- Added missing speedbar buttons localized strings.
- Changed to use menuclass.
- Fixed disconnect button image when changing speedbar type (IMAGE|TEXT|BOTH).
- SelectFont() not needed (commented).
- Added 'UpdatedSpeedBar' to "fix" refresh speedbar when changing from prefs or from start (just "hide" it, not removed/freed).
- Localized rename requester.
- Fixed makefile to use "modified" FlexCat templates (C_c_amiftp.sd & C_h_amiftp.sd).
- Reworked some requesters and localization strings.
- UploadFile() was using fullpath+filename, thus creating (unwanted) dirs.
- Added notification support after upload/download.

Enhancements
- Added cycle-accurate 68010 emulation

Experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000: Apollo
Dietmar Planitzers unfortunately named "Apollo" project is an experimental operating system for the Amiga 4000. It is incompatible to existing systems, but tries to implement modern concepts on the Commodore computer - the author mentions
a process management built around dispatch queues similar to Apple's Grand Central Dispatch as one example.
Interested users need to compile Apollo themselves, the project is being developed on MacOS using the integrated development environment Xcode. Currently the only software available is a bunch of unit tests - which have to be invoked manually, since there's no automated unit testing framework yet. (cg)

Accelerator board projekt: Buffee developer on the advantages of PJIT
In her blog Renee Cousins, one of the two developers of the turbo card project "Buffee" (amiga-news.de reported), reports about theoretical and practical basics of the project. In two previous blog entries she had compared her emulation solution of the 68k processor under ARM microprocessors, Pseudo-JIT (PJIT), with solutions like Emu68 or UAE (part 1, part 2). In the now published third part of the series, she explains why she thinks PJIT is better than either of the other two strategies.
Also, she writes, the programming of the board is the biggest headache, with a couple of beta boards already destroyed in the process.
