Preview video: 'Scourge of the Underkind'
At the end of 2020, we reported for the last time about "Scourge of the Underkind", which was actually announced for 2021 and which sees itself as a tribute to games like Gods, Chaos Engine and Alien Breed. On the project's Facebook page, there have been regular reports about the development status over the last year: at the end of September it was reported that the music was finished and the last level was started, while at the beginning of October the game instructions were proofread.
oday, a new preview video was released on YouTube, showing the first 13 minutes of the game, including the loading screen and intro. The authir pointed out that he "was using a bezel in WinUAE and a screen filter which has caused some noise in this video." The game would look much better for real.
There would still be a few small changes made to the game, but basically the finished version would be shown.
Additionally, an other video shows how the intro screen was drawn, with Scourge's music. (dr)

Video documentary on Trackers: 'The Sound of 16-Bit'
Stuart Brow regularly posts documentary-style videos on his YouTube channel Ahoy about video games and their impact on culture. As a one-man team, he is responsible for all aspects of production: script, graphics, voiceover, gameplay recording, editing, and music.
In his last video documentary he takes the audience back to around 1984 - the dawn of 16-bit computing, and the emergence of a new style of computer music. And he also wrote:
"Ever since I did 'A Brief History of Graphics', I wanted to do a similar treatment for sound & music - but rather than attempt to cover everything in a single video, I thought it would be better to focus on a single topic. This time it's trackers - a format dear to me as it was my introduction to computer music."
And so his tracker time travel touches among other things also the Amiga programs "The Ultimate Soundtracker", "OctaMED Soundstudio" or "Digibooster".
Whereas he had previously financed his productions with advertising revenue, he now relies entirely on his audience and is happy to receive financial support on his Patreon page. (dr)

Emulation: FS-UAE & Launcher 3.1.66 for Windows
Frode Solheim's Amiga emulator FS-UAE makes the innovations from WinUAE available in a platform-independent UAE variant for Windows, Mac OS X and numerous Linux or BSD variants. The "FS-UAE Launcher" is responsible for the configuration and the start of the Amiga emulator. The maintenance update of the 3.1.x series already released in December for Windows (possibly the last one) contains the updated SDL version 2.0.18 as well as updated controller mappings. (dr)

Amiga emulator for MacOS: vAmiga 1.1 Beta 7
Dirk Hoffmann has released a new beta version of his Amiga emulator for macOS which is currently under development. The changes of beta version 7 are as follows:
- Features:
- Added support for remote connections. Three remote servers have been implemented:
- A serial port server emulating a null modem cable on the serial port of the Amiga.
- A retro shell server that allows the user to connect to retro shell via telnet.
- An experimental GDB server implementing parts of the GDB serial remote protocol.
- Compatibility:
- Writes to DMA pointer registers are sometimes dropped on a real Amiga. The old code for checking if a write has to be dropped didn’t work correctly in all cases.
- Bug fixes:
- In the video configuration panel, the color palette couldn’t be changed any more. This has been fixed.
- OCS detection failed in some scenarios.
- On startup, some CPU registers were initialised with wrong values.
- Code quality:
- The code has been migrated to Cmake and is now compatible with all three major C++ compilers (clang, gcc, msvc).

Audio player: AmigaAMP 3.31 for AmigaOS 3.9 released
Thomas Wenzel wrote:
Unfortunately, a piece of old code was left over in 3.30 when the MHI handling was revised. This leftover caused the playback not to recover after a dropout due to briefly high system load (e.g. CVPPC screen switching at very high resolution).
This should now be fixed in 3.31. There are no other changes. The PPC version is not affected and remains at version 3.30 for now.
The next update will then carry the version number 3.32 for both architectures. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: New version 53.15 of Updates preferences
Today the new version 53.15 of the update preconfiguration program for AmigaOS 4.1 was released. This fixed a bug which made it impossible to basically set a directory for the updates - saving caused a crash - and moreover in a readable way:
Likewise, you can now specify separately where the update archive should be permanently stored and which directory should be used to unpack it
In our test, in contrast to AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 Classic under WinUAE, a peculiarity occurred with the AmigaOne X5000: Here, a directory could be selected and saved using the 'Updates' tool in the 'Prefs' folder (left image). However, if you then start the AmiUpdate tool and choose the preferences from the menu, you get an incorrect display of the directory (right window):
It is only displayed incorrectly. The directory is still stored correctly. An initial assumption that a "_" in the directory name or a second directory level is the cause could not be confirmed. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Web browser Odyssey 1.23 r5 (update)
In the middle of 2020 Roman 'kas1e' Kargin had made available the last beta version of his AmigaOS 4 port of the Odyssey web browser. Now he has published the first release candidate (RC) for version 1.23 r5 and states the following:
"Rebuild was done with the latest GCC 11.1 and latest OS4 SDk (so new MUI, DOS, EXec, pthreads and co). As one of the positive results is the size of the binary start to be smaller on 3MB (60MB instead of 63MB). There is also a new YouTube script from MorphOS's devs (ASiegel), so to make accelerated video player works with changed youtube. To activate it, the following steps are required:
- Delete in your scripts Youtube Fullscreen Fix and Youtube HTML5 Converter. Restart Odyssey and add again but this time new scripts (so allowed sites and stuff will be new ones).
- Add to URL preferences http://youtube.com with spoof as Ipad 13.2.3. So it will always switch to the mobile version.
- Now on any video when you click on any part of the video, you will have in the right/bottom area gadget to expand the video: clicking on it will bring our accelerated media player back."
Changes of this version:
- Updated curl-ca-bundle.crt (https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem , 26 Oct 2021)
- Updated to Curl 7.80.0 (10th of November 2021)
- Updated to OpenSSL 1.1.1m (14-Dec-2021) (thanks MickJT for tips)
- Updated to SQLite 3.34.0 (2020-12-01) instead of old v3.7.5 (2011-02-01). Port done by Steffen Gutmann
- Updated to libFreeType2 2.11.1 (02-Dec-2021)
- Updated to libXML2 2.9.12 (13-May-2021)
- Updated to libWebP v1.2.2-rc1 (18-Dec-2021)
Update: (03.01.2022, 07:09, dr)
Meanwhile the official version 1.23 r5 was released on OS4Depot. (dr)

Windows: Alternative Amiga GUI available again (Update)
At the title link, tech magazine computerbase.de reports briefly on the project of its forum member 'Silvester72', who has written his own "Amiga Workbench" implementation for Windows 10 and 11 that can be either used as a separate application or as a replacement of the File Explorer.
Once another forum member pointed out, though, that Amiga and AmigaOS as well as the Boingball logo would still be registered trademarks, the author withdrew his program that had been available for free download before.
Update: (18:11, 03.01.22, snx)
Under its new name myWorkspace! the program is now available again. (snx)

In preparation of his planned Amiga documentation, David 'The 8-Bit Guy' Murray restores an Amiga 1000 donated to him in a video at the title link. Since it is still working and technically in a good condition, the work consists basically just of cleaning and de-yellowing the case by peroxide and UV light. (snx)

- Possibility to cancel the closing of a document or even of ASE2019
- Fixed some 'hit enforcer'
- Ability to record and execute macros
- Improvement of the positioning of windows on large screens
- New ARexx functions: WakeDocument, SleepDocument, CloseAllDocuments and ExecuteMacro

Preview video 24: 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) which is supposed to run on unaccelerated Amiga 1200 and CD32 with 50 fps.
In his 24. preview video the author presents a lot of changes, among others:
- Highlight: Null modem support. The playing field is then shown from the perspective of the respective team. Of course, the serial link still runs at 50Hz on unaccelerated A1200.
- Optimization of player drawing by exploiting frame coherence: only what is not painted over anyway is erased.
- Turf distance shading now much smoother.
- Marking for active players, usually the figures closest to the ball, inside. Realized with hardware sprites. It wasn't easy, because all 5 existing ones are already in use elsewhere.
- simple player control (running and simple shooting), ball sticks to the player for now, real ball physics with correct acceleration, gravity and friction.

Mod-Player: HippoPlayer 2.50
Kari-Pekka Koljonen, developer of the Amiga-MOD player HippoPlayer, has updated it to version 2.50. Changes:
- New fixes:
- There was a bug in the sample player (which also plays MP3) in AHI compatibility. It could hang when playback was stopped. This happened especially when using AHI with the Toccata driver. Should work now.
- Another different possible AHI related hang bug fixed which could happen when pausing playback.
- When the play mode was set to "List repeatedly" and the list was full of dividers (a.k.a. directories), Hippo could get stuck trying to find a module to be played. This should be fixed now.
- Possible hang/crash bug (related to a stray audio interrupt) fixed in Ben Daglish and Kris Hatlelid formats.
- New supported music formats:
- Impulse Tracker, using the "Impulse" deliplayer, written by the Delirium team for DeliTracker.
- Impulse plays IT formats v1.00 and v2.00. Newer formats are not supported.
- Impulse supports pattern skip forwards and back, along with song end detection. Song position display is not supported.
- 32 channels are in use in all modules. This is due to the way IT modules work, channels are used dynamically according to whatever is needed at the moment.
- Modules can be played using the PS3M mixing engine or AHI.
- Stereo scope works with PS3M.
- Channel panning is not supported, each channel has a fixed stereo position.
- Requires 68020 or better.
- Impulse is not included in the HippoPlayer.group file, so Hippo will look for it in the following places: "PROGDIR:", "PROGDIR:eagleplayers", "eagleplayer2:eagleplayers". Here "PROGDIR:" is the directory where the Hippo binary is installed.
- Impulse can be found in the Aminet DeliTracker archive.
- New features:
- There is a new list mode which can be toggled by the button on top of the file slider: file browser. The list modes now are:
- Playlist (list icon)
- Favorites (heart icon)
- File browser (disk icon)
- File browser mode:
- In this mode the list displays contents of directories.
- Directories are entered by the "Play" button, return/enter key, or LMB double click. (Note that double click can be enabled/disabled in Prefs.)
- The topmost list item shows the name of the displayed directory. Activating it goes back to the parent directory.
- Files are filtered using the configured match pattern, see "Prefs/Loading/File Match Pattern" (kick2.0+ only).
- If you have enabled "Keep list on exit", Hippo will return to the directory where you left off if you were in the file browser mode when exiting.
- New keyboard shortcuts:
- List mode toggle: [SHIFT+M]
- Navigate to parent in file browser: [BACKSPACE]
- New ARexx commands (for HippoPlayerIR support):
- TOGGLEMODE: change between list modes
- FAVORITE: toggle chosen module favorite status

AROS: Text editor 'TwinsIDE 0.1' in progress
According to the developer 'serk118' under the title link, he has started developing a text editor called 'TwinsIDE' for AROS IDE. As he writes, the original plan was to either finish his work on porting AmiDE or to work on porting MurksIDE. But since the latter does not support syntax highlighting, he decided to write a text editor from scratch. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: First public version of editor 'Lite XL' released
Recently George Sokianos, author of the AmigaOS 4.1 application MediaVault, had announced that he is going to port the Linux editor Lite XL. Now he has released the first public version v1.16.12.3 of his port.
According to the author "LiteXL for AmigaOS 4 is still experimental and there are some known issues, but it is quite usable. It is recommended to use it on a fast AmigaOne, although it was tested on microAmiga1 and works pretty good, but slow."
Using an AmigaOne X5000, the editor could be started without problems (screenshots see above). Under WinUAE and AmigaOS 4.1 it runs with the help of the PatchCompositeTags, which gives the following result:

Book: Interest in a German version of Commodore - The Inside Story? (Update)
Three years ago the English book "Commodore: The Inside Story" became available at retailers. There the former Commodore UK Managing Director David Pleasance describes the twelve years in which he worked for the company.
Currently he wants to find out interest in a German version of the book, translation would be done by Anton Preinsack. Sufficient demand given, a crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter would be started, with a price of 35 British Pounds for the hardcover book (almost 42 Euros currently). An e-book version would follow. If you are interested in it, please write an e-mail to email@davidpleasance.com with the subject "German Translation".
Update: (02.02.22, 09:01, snx)
In a posting to our comments section, Anton Preinsack points out that his German translation would be basically finished already and that an e-book version would be published in any case. (snx)
