m68k assembly: 'Amiga Assembly' plugin v1.4.0 for Visual Studio Code
We just reported about an updated 'C/C++' extension for Visual Studio Code and also referred to an extension to support assembler for the Amiga Motorola 68000 machines and emulators. This extension, called 'Amiga Assembly' by Paul Raingeard, has been intensively developed recently, made the leap from pre-release versions to version 1.0 at the end of last year and was updated to the current version 1.4.0 yesterday (changelog).

On GitHub the author provides a detailed documentation. (dr)

Amiga compatible joypad 'Protopad': Status update
Protovision, after successful crowd funding, is in the process of building new 'next-generation' joypads specifically designed for the C64, but equally compatible with Amiga: the Protopad.

Now there was a status update regarding this, which we quote here:
  • "We have found a case that we could use. We are still exploring the idea of creating a custom case. Making your own case is tricky and very expensive, so we will see if that works out. If not, we will revert to the standard case we found worthy.
  • We have come across unexpected technical issues. The pad sometimes gives wrong readings and it appears to happen when a button is pressed only lightly. This is extremely weird and we never heard of a similar issue ever. We believe it is some kind of power fluctuation problem and have created a new prototype that will make it easier for us to track the issue.
  • We are shocked about price developments. A CPLD chip that used to cost 6 Euros now costs 40. We did not see that coming and it crushes our financial calculations. We might have to redesign to use different chips than initially planned.
  • We are positive we will be able to master all these issues, eventually, but it takes way longer than we expected. Since Covid, not only prices have gone up but turnaround times are much slower. Example: receiving new Prototypes previously was a matter of days or weeks, now we have to wait months before we receive a new board."

Sensible World of Soccer: SWOS Total Pack 1.1
The 'SWOS Total Pack' is a graphical user interface written by 'Cool_amigaN' and 'jPV^RNO' for launching the game Sensible World of Soccer in an emulated environment.

As jPV^RNO explains, it includes almost all variations of the game and data about the game that have been officially and unofficially released over the last 30 years. Any combination of this data can be selected through the graphical user interface, from graphics and sound sets from different game versions and platforms to team/player data from different years.

There are countless data disks from the years 1930 to 2022, which are the result of the work of the SWOS community. Tournament lineups can be viewed as well as other documentation. Game tactics can be changed from the original versions and there is an extensive tactics viewer to analyze the new updated tactics/formations. The package also includes special versions of the game, from magazine cover disk releases to versions from other platforms (SNES, GameBoy, Game Gear, Master System).

The package also includes intro animations, music remixes, cracktros for launching the game. The first version was released in the middle of last year. Now an update to version 1.1 has been released, which can be installed either from the application itself or via Grunch. (dr)
