AmiWest 2023: First photos
Robert Bernardo is documenting again the AmiWest 2023 taking place this weekend and has published first photos. Among those from friday the Ranger prototype can be seen.
A separate gallery is dedicated to the prototype of the A600GS from AmigaKit, an apparently ARM-based "Game System", which in the basic version with 2 GB RAM and without DB9 joystick connectors should cost less than 100 British Pounds if possible.
The AROS/68k kernel and AmigaKits self-programmed replacement components of the AmigaOS ("System V46") are used. All intellectual property is AmigaKit's own or that of its software partners, such as A-EON Technology. (snx)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 6.2
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 6.2 of his web browser Wayfarer for MorphOS. Changes:
- Added AdBlocker settings with three different data sets
- Improved search vs URL detection in the URL string
- Added "Paste and Go" to the URL string context menu
- New tabs are now being added after the active tab (can be changed in Settings/Interface)
- Added a Font Code Path setting and changed the default to Simple on slower machines. This was previously forced to Complex to allow ligature handling, but could lead to very poor performance when editing text, etc
- Fine-tuned redraw handling while editing text
- Updated EasyList AdBlocker data
- Updated libwebp to address its various recent CVEs
- Updated sqlite, nghttp2, curl and psl libraries

Neues von Alinea Computer: Wodem, KickRom-Flash und KickRom-Progger
Press release: Alinea Computer presents three new products that were presented to the public for the first time at Amiga 38:
Wodem
With the Wodem, you can integrate any Amiga into your WiFi via the serial interface and have access to the Internet via a TCP/IP stack. With the appropriate turbo card or interface card, speeds of up to 115,200 bps are possible. The configuration is described in detail in the manual supplied. The Wodem can be purchased without accessories for 29.95 euros.
KickRom-Flash
The KickRom-Flash Adapter (version 1.4) is a programmable Flash-Rom replacement for EPROM components (e.g. 27c400) or Kickstart-Roms in the Amiga computer. Up to 4 Kickstarts (512 kb each) can be loaded onto a module and switched via jumpers or a switch. The switch with the name KickRom-Switch is unfortunately not yet available, but will be released in a few weeks.
In addition to the standard version of the Flash-Rom module, there is currently a special version for the Amiga 600, as mechanical problems can occur there with the standard modules. The programming and deletion of the components is done with the programming device KickRom-Progger. A KickRom flash can be bought for 29.95 Euros. In addition, a programming service is available for customers without a programming device.
KickRom-Progger
With the KickRom-Progger you can program/read Flash-Rom (27C400 emulators) devices up to 1.4 from Alinea Computer as well as commercially available 27C400 devices. The programmer can be operated directly on your Amiga via the serial interface. In addition to the serial interface, the programmer can also be controlled via USB on any computer. The programmer is operated via its own firmware, which is controlled from the computer via a terminal programme and can therefore run on almost any platform.
The device is the world's first programmer that can burn its own Kickstart roms directly on the Amiga. The KickRom Progger can be purchased without accessories for 44.95 euros. Options include a zero-force socket and a serial cable for BigBox Amigas.

Workbench distribution: AmiKit for PiStorm released
In addition to the already existing versions for Raspberry Pi, Windows, Mac and Linux, the workbench distributions AmiKit are now also available for the PiStorm or PiStorm-lite (YouTube video). Ján Zahurančík writes about this:
"It all started 20 years ago... On my Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1240/40. The journey has continued on WinUAE, though. Today, it's come full circle, back to where it all started - The Amiga.
AmiKit, a pre-installed and pre-designed package with over 400 classic Amiga programs and games, is now highly optimized for PiStorm and works best on Amiga 1200 with PiStorm32-Lite with Raspberry Pi 4 (or CM4). Raspbery Pi 3 is also supported. Miminum configuration is Amiga 500/600/2000 with RPi3.
It requires your own AmigaOS 3.2 ADF files as well as the latest hotfix3.2.2.1, Picasso96 driver and Amiga internet connection. Full Roadshow is recommended. The installtion of the required software is automated." (dr)

Demoparty: TRSAC 2023 in Denmark
The probably last edition of the TRSAC demo party will take place from 20 to 22 October 2023 in Aarhus, Denmark. TRSAC is an acronym for "The Real Scene After Christmas". TRSAC was started in 2000 by a few friends from the demoscene who thought that demoparties were too much about games.
Among the various competitions is Oldskool, which is primarily reserved for the Amiga. On the timetable, one can find precise information about the different programme items. (dr)

Arcade classic: Bagman500
Jean-François Fabre ported his SDL-based clone of the arcade classic Bagman to the Amiga, which required SDL libraries and thus a graphics card. In late 2019, he released a real port that directly used the Amiga's chipset graphics (amiga-news.de reported), but required a 68020 processor and was "still slow," according to the author.
Now Bagman 500 was transcoded to 68000 and should run on any A500. (dr)

Pixelart: Designs for unreleased game "Conflict
Misja van Laatum had recently reported in a Mastodon article that he and a friend played a lot of Empire: Wargame Of The Century in the 90s and had then made the "half-hearted plan" to make it "bigger and better". Unfortunately, nothing came of that plan. Misja, however, still owns some of the graphics he had already started, which he released to us for publication upon request: Combat backgrounds, user interface designs, a title logo and some Sculpt-3D images for an intro sequence.
Misja van Laatum explains further to us: "The game we were planning was to be called Conflict, and we had ambitious plans: terrain of different heights (hence the bunch of tiny tile graphics), more types of units than in Empire, a zoomed in view when attacking cities (the larger tiles) allowing you to target individual infrastructure, etc. The problem was that I'm not a great programmer (my skillset was limited to Blitzbasic and AMOS) and I didn't really know anyone that could, at that time... but it might be fun to one day pick this up now that I have a bit more experience."
In this respect, there is hope that the "half-hearted plan" will eventually become reality.
