DIY: "Joystick Reanimator" repairs micro switches using electric impulses
C64 fan 'GI-Joe' - a service technician in real life - has come across many faulty microswitches in his professional life. The silver-plated switching contacts of switches that only have to switch very low currents were often oxidized: the arcing that occurs at higher currents, which "cleans" the oxidizing contacts in a kind of self-cleaning function, does not occur at lower currents. Sooner or later, the electrical resistances become too high due to the oxidizing switching contacts, even though the switch switches mechanically perfectly.

To solve this problem with the microswitches built into many joysticks, GI-Joe invented the "Joystick Reanimator": A joystick that no longer works is connected to the device. When the stick is moved or a fire button is pressed, the associated switch is then activated with a current high enough to generate the "self-cleaning" arc. The circuit board also contains connection sockets for a multimeter so that the electrical resistances of the microswitches built into the joystick can be easily tested.

German and English instructions as well as all documents required for reproduction (including circuit diagram, assembly list and KiCad project files) are available for download. (cg) (Translation: cg)

The staff asks all Amiga Future subscribers to check that they supplied both their current postal and e-mail addresses to the team. The Amiga Future gets packed and shipped a few days prior to its actual release date, so any changes or updates to the address should passed on to AF before we dispatch it. Bear in mind that requests to forward on mail usually do not cover magazines.

The team also asks that you check that your subscription fee(s) are paid - apparently, quite a few subscription fees are still not fully paid. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Controlling Sonos speakers: SonosController 1.4 for all Amiga systems
Known for his Workbench simulation TAWS, Michael Rupp has also been working on his Amiga program for controlling Sonos loudspeakers since 2021: SonosController (amiga-news.de reported). He has now released version 1.4, for the first time also for AROS and thus for all Amiga systems, written in the Hollywood 10.


As the author reports, he had set up AROS One 2.4 on his older "tinker PC", including a functioning network, and was finally able to test the AROS version of the Sonos controller. After implementing a workaround for a small Zune bug, everything now also works with AROS. The changes in the new version:
  • NEW: first release for AROS x86
  • NEW: ARexx command REINDEX to invoke re-indexing the Sonos music library
  • NEW: include all icons in every distribution in new subdrawer "Icons"
  • NEW: include additional icons by AMIGASYSTEM (thanks Carlos!)
  • IMPROVED: reloading the browser with F5 will not loose the selected position and item anymore.
  • FIXED: loading of data (playlists, queues, etc.) is no longer limited to 100 entries (bug introduced with 1.3).
  • FIXED: if network is off the app won't crash on startup but show an error message.
  • FIXED: possible crash when clicking the "looking for Sonos..." entry.

TCP networking on Kickstart 1.3: AmigaNOS tutorial
KA9Q aka "NOS" is an early TCP stack designed for Packet Radio or computers with serial connections. The existing Amiga port is compatible with Kickstart 1.3 and supports both SLIP as well as PPP.

In his tutorial, 'neongod' describes - in authentic 90's internet visual design - how he installed and configured AmigaNOS on his Amiga 500 and networked it to a Raspberry Pi using a serial cable. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Coders wanted for an AGA remake of Cryos 'Dune'
Graphic designer 'barjack' is designing a remake of Cryo's classic adventure Dune for AGA based Amiga computers. The new version will preserve the original story, but expand it with new locations, characters and storylines. On top of that it is intended to look a lot better, given that it targets AGA and uses the full PAL resolution - a few example illustrations are supposed to showcase the improved visuals:










Several planned changes to the gameplay have been outlined so far:
  • Battles will be fought in an isometric 3D environment, they will be turn based affairs inspired by tactical RPGs
  • The resource management part of the game will be expanded with additional trade options
  • 6 new characters from Frank Herbert's ScienceFiction novel that the original game is based on
  • bigger playfield: the palace is mentioned as an example - it will contain 42 locations now, not just 11
  • All locations and characters will feature their own illustrations, all groups will feature their own leader
Barjack has announced his project on amigafrance.com a few days ago, asking for interested coders - preferably native french speakers, to make communication easier. He states he has been contacted by three interested programmers so far, they will be supplied with detailed specifications of his design to see if they're interested to implement it.

Work on the design was started in mid 2023. If the final game will run on a stock A1200 or require a 68030 and some FastRAM is yet to be determined. The game will be distributed for free, but barjack would like to create a limited run of a physical edition. (cg)

Accelerator: PiStorm16 for the Amiga 600 in development
At the title link Michal Schulz describes the PiStorm16 turbocard currently under development. In contrast to the classic PiStorm, an Efinix FPGA chip is used here as with the PiStorm32-lite. This means that no external devices are required for configuration, which is loaded as soon as the Emu68 emulation starts.

A first prototype is currently being manufactured, and separate connections for HDMI and network are planned for the future. (snx)

  • A2410 updates (Latest Picasso96 driver with DMA mode enabled graphics corruption)
  • All emulated RTG boards now autoswitch (Automatic switch between chipset mode and RTG mode). Previously only RTG boards that have built-in switcher and PCI RTG boards autoswitched.
  • Do not emulate special cases in native chipset screen mode last and first line(s) unless Overscan mode is Overscan+ or higher. (For example OCS Denise top and bottom line mismatched blanking start and end)
  • NTSC mode screen vertical positioning improved.
  • Disk swapper insert/remove cursor position now works as expected. Same image can be inserted in multiple slots.

5.1.0 Bugs fixes
  • Fast 68020+ mode interrupt timing fix. (Some games hung or had missing or badly playing sound)
  • Copper timing was unreliable in non-CE modes (Mainly affected horizontally multiplexed sprites)
  • Dark mode was not initialized if config file was started directly (for example from command line), without opening GUI. Some sub-dialogs didn’t support dark mode.
  • Zero length disk DMA with enabled disk word sync never finished (some copy protections failed to work).
  • Game Ports panel default config overrode button 4 with on screen keyboard enable/disable option even if it was already configured in Input panel.

Older bug fixes
  • Any TV overscan option + NTSC mode: few pixel grapohics corruption was visible in right edge of screen.
  • Many hardware emulated RTG boards had problems with horizontal panning.
  • 68040 MMU emulation fix. (MOVEM restart didn’t work correctly in all situations and MOVES 68040-only special case bus fault behavior was wrong)
  • CyberVision 64/3D and Picasso IV overlay fixes. P96PipDemo is now working correctly.
  • Ateo Pixel 64 had BGR/RGB swapped colors in most color depths.
  • UAE AHI ignored AHI volume slider setting.
  • Fixed mouse cursor jumping randomly when in tablet mode and clicking mouse button(s).
  • Game Ports panel input device type getting stuck or entering Test/Remap window crashing in some situations.
  • Some config file and registry/ini paths were always written in absolute format even if WinUAE was configured to relative path mode.
  • "AVI output enabled" (and few similar on/off buttons) button type changed, previously they worked unexpectedly in some situations, visible state was not always matching internal state.
  • Some sub dialogs (for example Gameports input mapping autofire) had old style and no high DPI support.
  • 256 color screenshot mode created wrong colors in some situations, usually when AGA and almost all palette entries were allocated.
  • Changing some native display settings (Filter/Display panel) settings didn’t reset all required display parameters until full display reset (for example window was resized)

Blog: Restauration of an A1060 Sidecar, part 2
A few months ago, Richard Körber was very lucky to acquire an A1060 Sidecar on eBay and reports in a three-part series on how he restored it. In the first part he disassembled it, in the second part now available under the title link all the broken parts are repaired and the Sidecar is restored to its original condition. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: AmiUpdate V2.54
After AmiUpdate was recently updated several times (amiga-news.de reported), another update has been released today with version 2.54. Changes:
  • Changed the main list to include a "Last Changed" column. This now allows you to sort updates according to date.
  • Improved the log output for clarity when connecting to WWW realms and using login credentials.
  • Prefs_Updates 53.18 (12.2.2024): Missed yet another application interface conflict. Hopefully this should be it now.
