`29.Dec.2025` Amiga Boing Blog (ANF)	Amiga Boing Blog is being closed The "Amiga Boing Blog" offers tests of numerous games from the PD/freeware area. In addition, game collections with freely distributable games or games licensed to the operator are compiled, which are already delivered with a fully prepared WinUAE (amiga-news.de reported). The search for a successor proved unsuccessful, which is why the Amiga Boing Blog has now published its last post with the game Roach Motel. All downloadable content remains available on archive.org.

`26.Oct.2025` ApolloTeam-Discord	Apollo team: End of Vampire V2 support Press release: "Dear Vampire Community, after many years of development and dedication, the Apollo Team announces the End of Support (EoS) for the Vampire V2 family of accelerators. Despite our original intent to continue maintaining the V2 line, it has become increasingly impractical to backport modern V4 developments. The technical gap between the V2 and V4 compile environments has grown significantly, and the Cyclone III FPGA used in the V2 boards is now fully utilized, and unsupported by the official Altera toolchain, leaving no room for further core or feature updates. Furthermore, recent attempts to backport V4 improvements have proven to make the V2 core unstable, confirming that maintaining both codebases in parallel is no longer feasible. As a result, official support for all Vampire V2 models will end effective immediately. The V2 channel on Discord has been put as read-only for historical purpose and will remain as it. From October 23th 2025, any Vampire V2 accelerator boards sold by Majsta or other sources are considered unsupported products, and the Apollo Team will not provide assistance, updates, or compatibility fixes for them through any communication channel. From that date, any use of the Apollo Computer/Apollo Core names, logos and trademark will be qualified as non permitted. We sincerely thank all V2 users for their trust, feedback, and enthusiasm over the years. Your support has been instrumental in bringing the Vampire project to where it is today. The Apollo Team remains committed to advancing the Amiga platform through ongoing development of the Vampire V4 and future generations." (snx) [News message: 26.

`28.Aug.2025`	New Commodore owner: third video in the "Let's buy Commodore!" series In the third episode of his "Let's buy Commodore" series, YouTuber Christian 'Perifractic' Simpson shows footage of the contract signing three weeks ago in Amsterdam, as well as recordings of various video calls with well-known personalities from the Commodore scene who want to support Simpson in an advisory capacity. Explaining whether there will be an official "Commodore Amiga" - a question allegedly posed to him "by precisely one million of you" – the new Commodore CEO states (minute 8:45 of the video): "Well, if I could snap my fingers and just make it so - I would. For now, what I can say is I had some positive meetings about it, but it's not all up to me: The ball is now firmly in others' courts, and they know my cartridge port is always open." In a conversation with Leonard Tramiel, son of Commodore founder Jack Tramiel, Simpson hints at what products are still in the pipeline after the C64 Ultimate (minute 20:03 of the video): "We have a product roadmap with about 12 to 14 solid ideas for the next four years. We will try to do two things really well each year. One of them is calculators." Editor's note: The "C64 Ultimate" is advertised as a ready-to-use revival of the C64, but the product description in the shop still states that the required ROM images may need to be installed manually "via guided ROM setup on first boot" - which suggests that the new Commodore has not yet acquired a licence for the C64 firmware from the rights holder Mike Battilana. Battilana would also be the contact person for licensing the Amiga brand and the Amiga operating system. (cg) [News message: 28. Aug. 2025, 23:24] [Comments: 3 - 30.
