Modplayer: AmiModRadio 0.99991
AmiModRadio is "a program to automatically download, extract, and play modules from Aminet." Other websites like Haxor.fi, Modland and Modules.pl are supported as well. A rating function is also included. In the latest version a console bug was fixed. Besides: "Fixed/improved the code dealing with the players and updated the HTTP User-agent to make all HTTP sources work." If you want to report bugs then please use the official bugtracker. Any ideas for improving the program are welcome!
As the author Tygre told ue, his homepage is completely maintained using an Amiga 1200 being in his office at work. Due to COVID currently he cannot easily reset the Amiga if it has freezed so it may happen that the website is temporarily not available for quite some time.

Tetris clone: Crazy Columns (demo) (update)
Jochen Hoffer's 'Crazy Columns' is a clone of the classic Sega-Genesis game Columns for one or two players, which can be played with joystick or keyboard. Now a demo was released featuring only one of the three game modes and only one difficulty.
The game was written in assembler and runs in any Amiga equipped with at least 512 KB RAM. Still it is not clear when the full version of Crazy Columns will be available.
Download: CrazyColumnsDemo.adf (880 KB)
Update: (18.01.2021, 23:00, cg)
The demo has been updated: the game can now be paused, and the 'crazy fill' mode has been implemented. (cg) (Translation: dr)

A1000 expansion: 'Parceiro' provides Fast-RAM, SD card slot and RTC
'Parceiro' (Portuguese: "Partner") is an expansion for the A1000 which comes in a thin plastic case - fitting to the computer - plugged in the lateral expansion port of the Amigas. It provides 8 MB Fast-RAM, a micro SD slot accessible from the outside with a 2 GB FAT32-formatted SD card as well as a real-time clock.
You cannot boot from this SD card but the producer provides a detailed tutorial explaining how to create "KickWork" disk. Additional to the Kickstart image it contains a Workbench as well as all required drivers and utilities for mounting the sd card and reading the real-time clock.
According to a review on Youtube, the card seems only be produced in very small numbers. If you are interested you can pre-order a 'Parceiro' at the US American developer Dabid Dunklee via email. The price for a card is 195 USD plus shipping.

Morgue Soft stops developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow"
After more than 27 years, Juan Carlos 'Templario' Herran Martin has stopped his developer activity by releasing the game "The Widow" which is a point'n'click horror adventure written in Hollywood:
According to 'Templario' this game is "a little summary of the best games and programs made for me with my programming and graphic design skills". It is available for MorhpOS 2.7-3.x, AmigaOS4.x, AROS, Windows and Linux.
During the past years he has released software like the picture viewer Videntium Picta, the picture editing programm Pintor Web or the PDF viewer GrimoriumPDF. Furthermore he wrote diverse slot machine games and adult games.
His first projects 'Templario' wrote in AmiBlitz/BlitzBasic for his brother. Since 2010 he has used Hollywood as his main developing software. In response to our question about the reasons for his decision he answered that it "is very complicated making games for Amiga systems when there are not skilled graphic designers in this hobby, and the motivation and the input of fresh ideas is low."
Now he is enjoying his hobby as another spectator of the scene. We wish him much fun in the new period of life and all the best for the future!

File manager: MCAmiga 0.9 for all Amiga systems (update)
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's MCAmiga is a file manager inspired by Norton and Midnight Commander which can be completely used with the keyboard. Version 0.9 has been already released in August 2020 - we reported about it in our dominical Aminet uploads - but after poiting out by us, Marcus now has added the missing change log which we also want to share with our readers:
- difference viewer in tools menu
- basic highlighter for ini, patch/diff files
- BugFix for start from WBDock2
- startup scripts to directly start the viewer/diffviewer from shell
- Bugfix for file size
MCAmiga is available for AmigaOS (m68k, PPC), MorphOS and AROS (x86, x64, ARM). The programm at least requires 4 MB RAM.
Update: (18:40, 06.01.21, dr)
According to the author meanwhile the AmigaOS-4 version does run on a X5000 since it has not been a MCAmiga bug, but a Free Pascal Bug which has been fixed.

MorphOS: e-mail client Iris 0.99 (Update)
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's "Iris" is going to be the standard e-mail client for MorphOS. It supports IMAP and is able to display as well as create HTML e-mails.
Compared to betaversion 94 released about two months ago, Iris 0.98 now utilises the core of Wayfarer instead of Odyssey. Additionally there are first localisations, improved navigation and several bug-fixes. For feedback to the author, the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used.
Update: (22:59, 03.01.21, snx)
Meanwhile version 0.99 is available. The update adds minor fixes and "Upload messages to Folder" functionality. (snx)

AmigaOS 4: Consoles and arcade emulator 'Final Burn Neo'
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel has ported the emulator Final Burn Neo to AmigaOS 4. The project is a combination of 'Final Burn', being an emulator for Capcom's CPS2 platform, as well as an older version of MAME. According to Nouvel is is a work-in-progress currently having done about 60%. Despite of that, already now almost 15.600 games can be played.
In order to be able to use the emulator, some archives have to be downloaded and extracted into the same directory. Additionally the project requires the library 'LibBoostyGfx' which is also developed by Nouvel. According to the author this "Donationware": Before starting the emulator for the first time, the library has to be registered requiring an Internet connection. A free keyfile is available on the download site. If instead you want to have a personalized keyfile, you are invited to make a little donation.
