Music Tracker: MilkyTracker V1.03.01
MilkyTracker is an open source, cross-platform music application for creating .MOD and .XM module files. It attempts to recreate the module replay and user experience of the DOS application Fasttracker II, with special playback modes available for improved Amiga ProTracker 2.x/3.x compatibility.

Marlon Beijer is in the process of porting the tracker to the Amiga platforms (OS3.x, OS4.x, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS) and adding new features. In the new version now available for AmigaOS 3 first, the "Vamped Edition" has been included. The features included herein had been added by Neoman from the Titan demo group and are:
  • Native Amiga support, but still needs RTG (we support P96 and CGX)
  • Native 4-channel 8-bit output support on Paula/Commodore
  • Native 8-channel 16-bit output on Arne (Apollo-Core) (16 channels are planned with a future core)
  • 16-bit PiP display on SAGA (Apollo-Core)
  • GadTools based setup dialog to choose the resolution and audio settings
  • Titan's Magic Toolbox
  • MilkyPlay based console player
This means that SDL is no longer needed in the AmigaOS 3 version. The following is planned for the future:

AmigaOS 3
  • Native AHI-driver for software mixing (this part was handled by SDL before)
  • AGA 8-bit display via C2P
  • OCS/ECS display (not decided enirely on route taken here yet)
  • ASM optimization of drawing routines and primitives
  • MIDI In/Out
AmigaOS 4, MorphOS
  • The features we deem useful for PPC too will trickle down from M68K
  • SDL-1.2 support removed, and both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.x will utilize SDL-2.0 instead
  • Fix these targets since they broke somewhere along the way
Allgemein
  • MUI based replacement UI for a more native look and feel (probably performance improvements as well) (optional)
  • MUI based music player, taking advantage of the music replayer of MilkyTracker

Boot Selector for Amiga 600 / 1200 (update)
With a boot selector it is possible to use an externally connected floppy drive (or Gotek Floppy Drive Emulator) as boot floppy. This is made possible by making the Amiga believe that the external drive is DF0:. To avoid soldering and fiddling with wires, there are ready-made solutions of various kinds, but they basically all do the same thing: swap two address lines.

Gotek Retro has now designed its own solution for the Amiga 600 and Amiga 1200 respectively: According to Ed, "the traditional boot selectors for the old(er) generation Amiga's do not fit as they still used a CIA on a socket where they would be installed between the socket and the chip. The Amiga 600 and the Amiga 1200 have exchanged that socket version for an SMD version that requires much less space, but is also not easy to remove / replace.

The principle is very simple , you don't change the data lines ON the CIA itself but on a different location. The bootselector for the Amiga 1200 (And A600) consists of 2 interfaces , one internally between the internal floppy drive and the floppy cable, and the other one externally, connected to the floppy port on the back of your Amiga. The only thing you need to do is bring 2 wires from the internal interface to the external interface."

The boot selector is available in the store for 25 Euro plus shipping. (dr)

Preview video 28: Souverän Soccer
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener (Wings Remastered, MiniGL4GL4ES, Tower 57) is working on a soccer game with 3D view called "Souverän Soccer" (amiga-news.de reported).

About his 28th preview video, the developer writes:
"This time you can see how the current CPU player plays against himself :) By the way, for the video the CPU player was artificially dumbed down, especially he shoots quite often much too firm. Without this little hack, the video would be a bit too boring, because the CPU player practically never provokes a throw-in or a corner by himself at the moment :P

The AI is already sufficient (there is still room for improvement, of course) to take care of the control of the team members that are not being controlled by the player himself in a human vs human match. Most importantly, the AI is also fast enough: we're still at 50 fps even in CPU vs CPU on a bare Amiga 1200.

Besides many details (e.g. the ball is now animated quite nicely) and many internal improvements, there is now also a neat free kick and throw-in system, which is based on Goal!: by means of a dotted line you can parameterize the direction, strength, height of the shot / throw..." (dr)

ReA4091: Video and pre-order for the reconstruction of the Fast SCSI2 controller
During the Vintage Computer Festival East, which took place from April 22 to 24 at the InfoAge Science and History Museums in Wall Township in the USA (see also the video talk of former Commodore employees), Stefan Reinauer gave a talk about the project of rebuilding the Fast SCSI2 controller A4091, which he and Chris Hooper successfully accomplished. The project, christened "ReA4091", lasted four months and was accomplished with the help of an original copy purchased at an eBay auction.

The YouTube video, which has been available since the end of April and was recorded by Robert Bernardo, has been edited again by him and now has a much better sound quality (see title link).

As Stefan Reinauer explained to amiga-news.de, they are "still busy building cards and debugging". In parallel, the open source driver is being written, which will replace the original ROM. Currently, 30 cards are being built. On the corresponding project page you can not only find more information, but you can also express your interest in building a card. The price is about 225 Euro (without shipping). (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Platformer "BlobWars: Attrition" V1.22r1
The very busy AmigaOS 4 developer George 'walkero' Sokianos - among others aiostreams, Flawfinder, Lite XL or iGame - has ported the commercial platformer "BlobWars: Attrition" to AmigaOS 4 in the latest version of December 2019.

The port of the game developed by Parallel Realities does not include data files. These have to be purchased on the game's itch.io project page - but at a price to be determined by the user.

As the developer writes, the game requires SDL2 and a powerful Amiga including graphics card to play it on Full HD. He himself played the game on his AmigaOne X5000/40 with a RadeonRX 550. To achieve smooth gameplay, he had to set SDL2 to opengles2 and activate the batching mode. He recommends experimenting with these settings, depending on your own hardware.

A test on his microAmigaOne was less successful, because the small graphics memory (max. 32MB) ran out quite fast, so that the game was slowed down very much. He is open for suggestions and possibly tricks to change this.

Anyone who wants to support the author has the opportunity to do so on his Ko-fi website. The author returns 50% of the donations to the community at the end of each month by supporting projects or developers. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: C runtime library clib2 v1.0.0 beta 5
As standard C librar, AmigaOS officially uses a variant of the Newlib C standard library implementation. A popular alternative C standard library implementation is called clib2 and it is included as an option with the standard Amiga SDK. The clib2 library is particular well suited for porting software from the Unix world (taken from AmigaOS-Wiki).

Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers. All warnings (except for a very few) generated by GCC 10 and higher have disappeared. As the developer further writes, all obsolete OS4 functions have been replaced by modern ones (except for StackSwap, for which he has not found a replacement).

Yesterday he released the fifth beta version with the following changes:
  • Implemented open() and opendir() and now it is possible to open a directory like open("T:") and use some functions on the returned fd
  • Changed some socket functions that now use open source code
  • Implemented new funcions
  • Fixed a memory leak on fstat
  • Removed test on check_abort_enabled prior call since it is already checked in the function
  • Moved rand* functions to prng folder
  • Implemented syslog (using files)
  • A lot of other fixes an improvements
