`18.Apr.2022`	Videos: Running Apple Macintosh 6 software on an Amiga using 'A-Max' Almost at the same time, two videos were released, dealing with the use of the 'Apple Macintosh 6' operating system on an Amiga: In the late 80s, early 90s ReadySoft released their combination of software and hardware, called 'A-Max' and 'A-Max II' respectively, with which you could use Apple Macintosh 6 software. The user 'intric8' has published a detailed article including a video on AmigaLove, which demonstrates the usage with an Amiga 1000. The 8-Bit Guy' has also taken care of the topic and shows in his video the usage of the A-Max with an Amiga 500. (dr) [News message: 18.

`17.Apr.2022` Hackster	Open Source 3D printer: SLS4All Every now and then we report on do-it-yourself projects such as making your own joystick using a 3D printer. Not bad, you might say, but what's the point if I don't have a 3D printer? Especially not one that is even remotely affordable! While not amiga-inspired, Tomas Starek may have had similar thoughts when he started his DIY project of his own affordable 3D printer. However, as he tells us, he was so surprised by the positive reactions from around the world that he decided to document his 'Open Source' project thoroughly and comprehensibly. He chose the SLS printing process for this. As the portal hackster.io reports, there are currently no consumer SLS 3D printers on the market. The process involves beaming a laser at a bed of powdered polymer, which thereby melts it and turns it into a solid. As with other forms of 3D printing, the layers build up to form a three-dimensional object. Compared to other processes, it offers the advantage of generating bridges and overhanging geometry, he said. The print chamber is 175 X 175 X 200 mm in size. For control, Starek chose a combination of BigTreeTech 1.4 Turbo control board and Raspberry Pi 4B, both running Klipper firmware. The main goal of his project is to use the most "affordable" (initially: cheap) parts possible. The should be able to create complex prints and be user-friendly. We asked the developer what costs should ultimately be expected by an interested user who wants to build the 3D printer himself: he estimates about 2500 euros. At a later date, he could also imagine selling the printer as a finished, commercial product or as a kit for assembly. For now, however, it is a matter of finishing the development of the printer. And the current status looks like this: DESIGN: Generic & Fusion 360 design 100% Hardware Parts fabrication and Build: Frame & Moving Parts 98% Electronic equipment installation: Laser, Galvo system, step motors, heaters 100% Firmware And Software development: FW customization & F-e development 75% Testing: Partial Tests, Complex testing, 3D printing 65% Documentation: F3D, DXF & STL files, GitHub Repos, etc... 50% (dr) [News message: 17.

`16.Apr.2022` Indie Retro News (Webseite)	Jump'n Run: second playable demo of 'Creeping Me Out Hex Night' Michael 'Mixel' Dawes provides another demo version of his jump'n run 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night', created with the game construction kit Scorpion Engine. According to the developer, this second preview "adds a lot of improvements since the last time (no new levels or anything, just tweaks, graphical improvements, etc)". The game requires 2 MB of Chip and 1 MB of Fast RAM, and (presumably) a 68020 processor. (cg) [News message: 16. Apr. 2022, 23:40] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`16.Apr.2022` a1k.org (Webseite)	Hardware hack: A fifth audio channel for the Amiga In an older blog entry, which can only be found in the web archive, a Norwegian describes how he uses the FBAS signal of his Amiga to output a fifth audio channel in addition to the four existing (stereo) channels. He uses the fact that bright and dark pixels are transmitted as different voltages on the video cable. A video demonstrates the principle in action. (cg) [News message: 16.

`16.Apr.2022`	Modern decompressor for Amiga data compression formats: Ancient 2.0 Ancient' unpacks files compressed with Amiga "crunchers" like Powerpacker or similar. The program, written in portable C, supports a variety of known compression formats - among others all that the regular XPK distribution can unpack, as well as disk images in DiskMasher format ("DMS") and LhA archives. Source code and Windows executables can be found on Github, a MorphOS version has been published on im Aminet. (cg) [News message: 16.
