Puzzle game: Demo version of Ami Robbo 2
Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch's latest project will be a contribution to AmiGameJam 2024: Ami Robbo 2 is the successor to Amirobbo by Polish game developers Bernard Krzymowski and Artur 'Szafir' Szafrański, which was released in 1992. With his permission and assistance, new graphics and levels were created for the second part. Robbo is a universal combat robot that has got into trouble and needs to be rescued from abandoned military bases with the player's help. (amiga-news.de reported).

The gameplay is based on the classic Sokoban but there are many other elements and a top-down view that Tukatsch invented. A demo version of the current status of the project has now been released (YouTube video). (dr)

Shoot'em Up: Demo version of QuasaurusX
The latest project from Amiten Games is the shoot'em up "QuasaurusX" (amiga-news.de reported), of which a new demo version has now been released: among other things, it offers new background and foreground graphics, new fonts and new end boss routines (YouTube video).

The game is currently not yet optimised, so that at least an (upgraded) Amiga 1200 is required. (dr)

MorphOS: Tenth beta version of TinyGL
The MorphOS team developer Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen had offered a Bounty project for improved OpenGL support and drivers for additional Radeon graphics cards under the title link, which had been successfully financed (amiga-news.de reported). Now the developer has released the tenth public beta version of his TinyGL update.

The main focus here was the implementation of support for framebuffer objects. However, in the process, many other related and unrelated parts of TinyGL have also been improved, resulting in better OpenGL compliance and more implemented features. The R600 driver is not included in this release, but will be included in a future release once the developer has updated it to the current TinyGL requirements. (dr)

DIY: Firmware update for "GottaGoFaZt3r"
"GottaGoFaZt3r" developed by Matt Harlum is a memory expansion with 128MB or 256MB Z3 autoconfig FastRAM for the Amiga 3000 and 4000 (amiga-news.de reported). The recent firmware update fixes the compatibility with A4091: DTACK (Data Transfer Acknowledge) was initialised too early, resulting in the wrong data being read from the GottaGoFaZt3r during DMA (Direct Memory Access). If no A4091 is used, there is no need to update to this version. (dr)

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.20, Firmware 1.6
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks.

The new Greaseweazle firmware 1.6 provides the following changes:
  • Flux write: Whole-track writes to hard-sectored disks
  • Pre- and post-write delays: Specified by many drive datasheets
    • Required for correct interaction with offset tunnel-erase heads
  • Configurable "Index Mask", for debouncing noisy INDEX signals
  • Seek (HDD): Remove arbitrary 100-cylinder limit
Version 1.20 of Greaseweazle Tools provides the following changes:
  • Thomson MO/TO: thomson.xxx formats and xxx.fd images
  • DMK: Import-only image support
  • EDSK: HD and ED recording rates
  • gw delays: Pre- and post-write; Index mask
  • gw read, write: New option --hard-sectors
