Cracker scene: Unreleased Amiga port of "Mutant League Hockey" (AGA)
In 1994 Electronic Arts released the sport simulation Mutant League Hockey on the Megadrive. An Amiga port ordered by Ocean was never released although the port was almost finished.
20 years later the cracker group Scoopex obviously has found the original game and released it as "crack". We do not know any legal source of download.

New "Commodore" trademark for Smartphones opposed (Update 2)
A few months ago, Massimo Canigiani from Italy started presenting himself as the alleged new owner of the Commodor trademark. His newly established British based "Commodore Business Machines Ltd." was going to sell Commodore Smartphones to retro enthusiasts.
But Canigiani didn't actually acquire the existing trademark, he simply tried to have a new one registered - his application is available publicly in the European trademark database. As of today, the status of his application has changed - it is now listed as "Application opposed".
The opposing party is the dutch C= Holdings, the current owner of the original Commodore trademark.
Update: (13.08.2015, 0:20, cg)
Now C= Holdings is also addressing this matter in a press release: The company announces the intention to defend its rights "vigorously".
Update 2: (16.08.2015, 17:00, cg)
Yesterday, Cloanto - owner of the copyright of most software released by Commodore and Amiga - issued a press release aswell, stating that Canigiani is not in a position to include software emulations of old Commodore computers with his smartphone since he does not have a license for the required firmware.

Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.6.0beta1 (2nd Update)
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD and based on WinUAE and "includes an easy-to-use graphical configuration program which allows you to enjoy FS-UAE and Amiga emulation without writing configuration files.". Since the last stable version released in March (2.4.1), so far only developer versions have been released.
Changes in FS-UAE:
- New option floppy_drive_volume_empty
- Switched default key mapping for host backslash and insert keys
- Use GLEW instead of GLee for OpenGL extensions
- When not using FS-UAE Launcher, model A1200 defaulted to kickstart 3.0
Changes in FS-UAE-Launcher:
- Changed tab panel appearance on OS X to match other platforms
- Renamed language prefs to appearance prefs, added launcher theme option
- Close login dialog before opening database refresh dialog
- Settings UI for specifying empty floppy drive volume (or disabling it)
- Added keyboard settings to configure equals/insert/backslash/less mapping
- Added support for WHDLoad 18.1, set as default version
- Replaced some icons, added new rom/ram icon
- Fixed an issue with the new CPU selection
Update: (06.08.2015, 14:50, cg)
Meanwhile version 2.5.35dev is available.
Changes in FS-UAE:
- Fixed bug (lockup) when quitting FS-UAE from Amiga side on some platforms.
- Fixed a potential key repeat issue (could not reproduce original problem).
- Load kickstart replacement from data files instead of embedding in executable.
- Re-enabled serial port (was disabled in 2.5.31dev), fixed AROS Kickstart replacement.
- Share serial port emulation code with WinUAE.
Known bugs:
- When entering the GUI using modifier+F12, the modifier key(s) sticks in the emulated Amiga when you return to the emulation.
- Graphical flickering in Workbench with non-cycle-exact emulation.
- When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
Changes in FS-UAE-Launcher:
- Added All Games / All Configurations to drop-down.
- Nicer behavior when kickstart ROM for chosen model is missing.
- Moved more warnings and information to status bar.
- Fixed handling of downloadable games.
- Use Fusion QT style on all platforms by default.
- Default to Fusion Adwaita style variant when running under GNOME 3.
- Show warning icon in settings if option is overriden by configuration.
- Fixed OAGD.net locker uploader.
- New additional configuration page.
- Moved custom configuration (button) to additional config page.
- Removed some “noise” from custom configuration and advanced settings.
2nd Update: (17:55, 08.08.15, snx)
In the meantime, FS-UAE 2.6.0beta1 has been released. It is intended as a semi-stable version for new users as a replacement for the latest stable release (2.4.3).
Improvements over version 2.4.3 include:
- Updated emulation code from WinUAE 3.1.0.
- Support for PPC emulation (can run AmigaOS 4.x) via QEMU-UAE plugin
- More emulated hardware support (Toccata, A2061, Picasso IV, …)
- Better support for modern OS versions due to using SDL 2.0
- Built-in support for multiple displays, and fixes for HiDPI displays
- The Launcher supports modern OS versions better due to using QT 5.x
- Much improved FS-UAE Launcher user interface
- FS-UAE mouse integration (Workbench cursor follows host cursor)
- Updated internal kickstart replacement from AROS
- Dual joystick/mouse mode for joystick port 0
- Official builds for SteamOS (Linux + Steam runtime)
- OS X apps are now digitally signed (Apple Developer ID)
- Many bug fixes
Support for IPF disk images is now provided by a plugin which you need to download separately. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4: Directory Opus 4.18.44
In the lastest version of the file manager Directory Opus some minor bugs have been fixed.
- Fixed directory sizes displayed in a lister when searching for a
filename (or pattern) in multiple directories with the hunt command.
- Fixed a hunt command failure to highlight the found file when the file
was located in a subdirectory of the directory being searched. When the
user selected the OK button in the "Shall I go there?" requester,
the hunt command would display a requester stating that the file was
not found but then load the directory where the file was located.
- Fixed a crash in the Dopus4 text viewer. If Dopus4 was on the
Workbench screen and the text viewer was open when the user quit
the Dopus4 program, the viewer would crash (Grim Reaper).
- Fixed a bug in Dopus_Print that prevented updating of the output
filename in the requester.
- Changed makefiles to create 'stabs' debug binaries and improve
compiler output readability. All Dopus4 components will now display
specific function information in a stack trace if there is a failure
when running debug binaries.
- Replaced all internal string functions and unbounded 'C' library string
functions with size limited 'C' library string functions to eliminate
possible buffer overflows.
- Replaced all deprecated memory allocation functions with new OS4 memory
allocation functions.
- Replaced all deprecated message related functions with new OS4 functions.
- Fixed all compiler warnings to make it easier to spot new warnings.
- Added a missing Tooltype to the DirectoryOpus icon.
- Changed the copyright data in about window.
- Updated copyright data in english DirectoryOpus.guide.
- Updated history files.

amiga-news.de: Homepage shows news of the last seven days
In May the editorial staff did carry out a survey and asked the readers how many news should be presented on the homepage.
60% of the participants did declare themselves in favour of reading more news in future. Our programmer Sven Drieling now adapted the homepage according to the result of the poll: From today on amiga-news.de always shows the news of the last seven days.
Of course each reader can configure the homepage in this way he likes best: If you want to go back to the original view or even want to get presented more news, you can configure that.
