WHDLoad frontend: iGame 2.6.0 for AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS
iGame is a MUI-based frontend for launching WHDLoad titles. George 'walkero' Sokianos has again made some changes to the open source program:

New features
  • By changing the Genre select box to a PopupString, it is now possible to edit the Genre title and create new ones, which will be added to the Genre lists
  • Added Portuguese language
Changes
  • The genres in the Information window changed to a PopupString. Now, it takes less space to choose a genre, making it possible even on small resolutions.
  • The genres lists have the titles sorted alphabetically
  • Removed some not necessary fill ups of genre cycle boxes and loops. This should make iGame start a little bit faster
  • Removed some extra change notifications in Genres lists, which should avoid not necessary refreshes of the games/demos lists
  • Added a requester to show the errors occure when iGame is started and a library is missing
  • Now the iGame icon is set back to start by Workbench
  • Revamped the About window, adding a new logo and links
  • Changed the main image in the repository
Fixes
  • The genres lists were not populated when the right sidebar was disabled

Legal dispute: Hyperion can be held liable for copyright infringements
In April 2023, Hyperion won the first lawsuit with Mike Battilana and his partners: The judge had essentially ruled that the plaintiffs Amino, Itec and Amiga Inc. could not sue for breach of contract or copyright infringement and that the only party entitled to sue - Amiga Corporation - should not be added as a plaintiff to the current proceedings due to a technicality and that it would have to sue separately. The so-called "Amiga parties" appealed against all three decisions.

The subsequent legal dispute (courtlistener.com) is characterised above all by the lack of legal representation for Hyperion: In order to respond to the Amiga parties' initial statement of early August 2023, Hyperion first had to register new lawyers and ask for an extension of time. However, the new lawyers asked to be released from their mandate as early as April 2024.

In October and September, Hyperion is given two four-week deadlines to provide new lawyers - coupled with the clear warning that the company's response to the Amiga parties' appeal would otherwise be removed from the file and the court would have to make its decision without taking Hyperion's position into account. Subsequently, the removal of Hyperion's "Answering Brief" is ordered on 7 November.

It was not until seven months later that the Belgian company was able to present new legal counsel. In a motion dated 10 June, the new counsel asked for the removal of Hyperion's statement to be reversed: The "nebulous nature" of his predecessors as Hyperion's lawyers allegedly "dissuaded potential attorneys [..] to appear for Hyperion" and Hyperion had long been unsure whether its foreign lawyer Ben Hermans could take over the representation before the court in Washington.

Only two days later, not only was this request by Hyperion's new lawyer rejected, but a unanimous judgement was also issued: the decisions of the previous instance to deny the Amiga parties the right to sue for breach of contract and not to admit the Amiga Corporation to the proceedings were upheld. However, the three judges of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overrule their colleague on one key point: The Amiga parties can take action against Hyperion for copyright infringement - copyright law is to be valued higher here than the "non-aggression" clause from the 2009 settlement agreement, according to the court of appeals.

The "District Court" - i.e. the previous instance - must now once again deal with the allegation of copyright infringement by Hyperion. Mike Battilana's "Amiga Corporation" had already opened separate proceedings against Hyperion in 2019, but these are on hold until the case discussed here is resolved. We have asked both parties for statements and will submit them if necessary.

Editor's note: Although an agreement had already been reached between Hyperion - including current manager Timothy de Groote - and the Amiga parties multiple times, these failed to end the legal dispute because Ben Hermans had withdrawn his agreement at the last moment. As far as we know, there have been no talks between the two parties after the restructuring of Hyperion - according to rumours, the newly appointed director de Groote had refused to engage in talks, stating that he wanted to wait for the outcome of the appeal hearing first.
