Event: Dickinson and Tyschtschenko at Amiga Future Gamescom booth
Press release: Amiga Future: Again at Gamescom - Also this year the Amiga Future will be represented with APC&TCP at Gamescom in the retro area. Visitors can get detailed information about the Amiga computer system at the almost 90 m² booth and, of course, also test more than 20 devices on site. The Amiga Future team will surely be able to answer all your questions about Amiga.

As guests of honor we have Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology on tuesday and wednesday and Petro Tyschtschenko (formerly Amiga Technologies) on saturday at the stand.

In addition, the Apollo team shows the brand new Vampire 4. You can test the Vampire 4 in detail and the developers are also available for questions.

But we also have two IndieGO systems on our stand, which of course can be thoroughly tested. Of course, Pascal Papara is also there, ready to answer all your questions.

Since we can not (yet) be in two places at the same time, no orders will be sent from August 17 to 27 by our online shop. This also applies to download versions. E-mails can only be answered after Gamescom. We ask for patience. It may take some time before all orders and e-mails can be processed. (snx)

Hollywood: Polybios 1.2 released
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present Polybios 1.2. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. Version 1.2 is a minor update and contains some fixes and minor improvements.

The plugin is now available for download from the official Hollywood portal under the title link. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (ppc, arm, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64) and Android (arm, arm64) are provided.

WinUAE users please note that you need at least version 4.2.1 because previous versions have a bug in the emulation of Motorola's 68020 CPU which makes Polybios crash. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Distribution for AmigaOS 3.9: AfA One 1.0
First the distribution AROS One for 68k and x86 was available. Now an Amiga distribution was released which is based on AfA 4.8 adding some AROS components to AmigaOS. An existing AmigaOS-3.9 installation with the inofficial BoingBag 4.

If you use a real Amiga a 68060 processor is required, under WinUAE the emulation of a 68020/030/040 with 256 MB Zorro-III-RAM. At least 2 GB harddrive memory is required as well.

After the installation of AmigaOS 3.9, all content of SYS:WBStartup as well as the directory SYS:Utilities/Amplifer have to be deleted. Then all harddrive is overwritten or completed with the image "AfA One.hdf". For WinUAE users a configuration file is included. The name of the Kickstart-3.1 file has to be "KickStart31".
