Tutorial: Creating a Kickstart disk for the Amiga 1000 with WinUAE (German)
Already in mid-July Domingo Fivoli has described how to create a Kickstart disk for the Amiga 1000 in his german Commodore blog at the title link. For this he used the emulator package Amiga Forever and the Amiga Explorer, whereby the kickstart data was read from an Amiga with GrabKick, transferred with CrossDOS and finally written to a disk image file using the program WriteKickDisk.

Game announcement: Video about "Dungeonette - The New Adventure" (update)
Adrian Cummings (Mutation Software) has published a short video at the title link on the current state of development of his game "Dungeonette - The New Adventure", which is announced to be released at the end of the year for AGA Amigas including the Amiga CD³².
In a forum the author explained: "It will run on stock Amiga AGA and CD³² with 2 MB Chip-RAM and of course [on THEA500 Mini] etc. It is a hybrid of many games in reality and has some roots in Diablo for sure but also many others as a hack & slash dungeon crawler. Just for the record... Originally the basic game was written for Apple Watch many years back and then also a version was released for Spectrum Next back in 2017/18. This version is all new just for Amiga however and only resembles those previous titles in name only."
Update: (18:54, 07.10.24, dr)
The release date has now been specified as Friday, 6 December 2024. Since the video under the title link is no longer availale, this Video introduction was done by the German YouTube channel 'MagisthansSpielekiste'. (snx)

Python program: Pymod plays Amiga modules
The Python program Pymod, released in version 1.1.1, uses PortAudio (via PyAudio) to connect to the respective audio hardware. The emulation of ProTracker's behavior goes so far that even its bugs are optionally taken into account when playing music modules.
Thanks to Python's "import" function, Pymod can also be used by other programs to play modules. (snx)

Debbie Harry portrait by Andy Warhol and picture files resurfaced
Following the discovery of further computer graphics on the Amiga of pop art icon Andy Warhol ten years ago, one of the presumably only two copies of the Debbie Harry portrait that have been printed back then has resurfaced now, created at the presentation of the Amiga 1000 in 1985 - the other one is owned by the Blondie singer herself.
Jeff Bruette, a Commodore technician at the time, who lives in the US state of Delaware and taught Andy Warhol how to use the computer, is going to sell the painting that has been hanging on his wall for almost forty years now. It also includes an original floppy disk with pictures created later by the artist. (snx)
