`17.Jun.2013` Trevor's Amiga Blog	Amiga-500 clones: Amiga 550 and Amy the Dream Clone Currently there are at least two projects which have the goal to make available an extended Amiga-500-board. The Dutch exchange board Amiga 550 will have a Zorro-II-slot for a Picasso-II graphic board, IDE-port and two clock ports as well as ports for the MAS-MP3-Player and accelerator boards (68020/030/040). In Sweden the board of "Amy the Dream Clone" has been already presented at the Retrospelsmassan 2013 in Göteborg (photo). This board was developed by 'Mr. Andersson' with the goal to be used in a Mini-ITX-case and with PC-keyboards as well as mouses. Additionally it has also a Zorro-II-compatible slot.

`07.Jun.2013` amigaworld.net (Webseite)	Amiga-/Atari ST-clone: MiST Till Harbaum's "MiST" is a FPGA-motherboard which is to emulate different home computer or arcade automats with the help of different "cores". Originally MiST has been only a Atari ST-clone and therefore - similar to Minimig - was called "MiniST". Since then the project is developed as "MiST" (aMIga/ST). MiST has a more powerful FPGA which can also emulate a 68000-CPU and therefore does not need an additional processor. The motherboard has among others four USB-ports, a SD-slot, two ports for Amiga-/Atari joysticks as well as a VGA-output. The Polish dealer Lotharek sells the boards which costs with black or white metal case 190 Euro (plus shipping). Currently the cases are produced. The computers will be delivered at the end of June.

`07.Jun.2013`	amiga-news.de: Old news imported to database Just like many other websites, from 1998 until 2001 amiga-news.de mainly worked with static HTML-sites which at that time were maintained with GoldEd and some ARexx-macros. Since January and June 2001, the German and English sections have been using a tailor-made database solution which was created by Sven Drieling. Now Christoph Gutjahr and Sven Drieling have integrated all 10.000 news from the "static phase" of Amiga-News into the database. Among others, about 900 HTML-files had to be converted and refered - additionally the server now manages many redirections for as many as possible external links are supposed to stay valid. Altogether, the Amiga-News database includes almost 50.000 news. A little walk through our archives always is a worthwhile delight - for you can find sad and still more sad news as well as very appropriate comments or some crazy news.

X-bEnCh can also manage manual listings and has an internal script system, the X-bEnCh Scripts (for non WHDLoad games for example). It requires very few ressources and is compatible with all Amiga setups. X-bEnCh also has an integrated CLI fully compatible with the Workbench CLI features. Please note that this version is not complete. I put it online because there has been no update since last March but all is not yet implemented.

Main New features: Top15 listing: This new feature is able to create a top of all your lists. Note that the top15 is already functional as previously planned, the needed database is created from the 0.8x versions Multikeys FastJump: Simply type the name of the game that you want and the new search engine will drive you directly to that one XplorEr: The long awaited X-bEnCh file manager is finaly here! Still young it will evolve quickly in the nexts release Current features list: 128 colors on screen for all Amigas Autoscan and organize your WHDLoad .slave and yours .exe from your HD Unlimited subdir level scan Internal script system Up to six launching lists in parallel Unlimited number of entry in each list Top15 listing Autoscan and use WHDLoad Tooltypes If no Tooltypes availables you can set up default Tooltypes MegaRam mode to gain extra chipram without rebooting FastJump mode to jump where you want in a list with the keyboard Files/Dirs manager included (Xpl0rEr) Integrated cLi 100% Amiga CLI compatible System friendly setup panel Dedicated installer for an easy installation Many more will come in the nexts releases Complete release note: Xinit1.7 Now update the Top15 list in the Init process Now check if some args are sets with the setup for the loadwb cmd Is now able to init to the Xplorer if set in the setup Xmenu1.6 Bug with a mouse plugged in the joyport1 fixed The menu is sorted with the Xplorer in 2nd position now You can now use the "Enter" key to validate your choice Xlaunch1.9 Top15 feature implemented Multikeys Fastjump implemented Added the display of the WhdL Requester if enabled in the setup Bug with the Microsys joy/mouse adapter driver fixed Bug with a mouse plugged in the joyport1 fixed Fixed the repeat latency of the "Tab" key You can now use the "Enter" Key to validate your choice Xcli0.71 Added the topupdate" cmd to manualy update the top15 list Updated the "help" cmd Xplorer0.1 Very first public version of the Xbench Files/Dirs manager Xsetup1.6 Reactivity optimised Now you can use the setup (if you want) without mouse nor keyboard Added a path requestor for the 6 launching lists Renamed the "Boot From" to "Boot To" in the "Startup" tab Added a LoadWB args textfield to the "Startup" tab Added the Top15 On/Off switch to the launcher tab Added the WhdLReq On/Off switch to the launcher tab Look optimised "Xplorer" option added to the "Boot To" switch in the startup tab Xexit0.6 Better temp files cleaning before leaving Xinstaller0.4 The ASL path requester is now disabled if you don't have rom 2.0+ Custom text font issue fixed Bug when using a custom file system (SFS for example) is fixed "D" (Directory) button is renamed to "P" for Path requester (snx) [News message: 07.

Three of such objects have been made available in the MorphZone (Screenshot): from the left to the right you can see a time display, an animated Elephant and a monster. Nicolas 'Henes' Sallin confirmed a bad news: The warp3d.library and therefore all Amiga games which access it, cannot benefit from the TinyGL-R300-driver since the rave3d.library is not developed further any longer.

`31.May.2013`	Trevor Dickinson explaining the failure of the AmigaOS 4 Netbook In October 2011, Steven Solie from the OS4 team announced a netbook for AmigaOS 4 for a price "between 230 and 300 Euro". That same day Ben Hermans and Hans-Jörg Frieden from Hyperion delivered some additional information, but there were no official statements since then. In April the British computer magazine Micro Mart published an interview with Trevor Dickinson from A-EON (PDF), during which the possibility of an AmigaOS 4 Laptop or Netbook was adressed: Dickinson explains that they had a closer look at the LimeBook - the very same hardware many people assumed to be the base for the announced AmigaOS Netbook back in 2011. After a detailed cost analysis - hardware engineering, porting the OS, driver development, licence fees for AmigaOS and branding, importing the hardware - they realised that even when producing batches of 1000 units they wouldn't have been able to get the end user price below 580 Euro. This, in combination with the very weak CPU, prompted A-EON to abandon the project and to look for other solutions. When the interview was discussed on amigaworld.net, Solie finally posted another statement about the project, apparently without having read the article in question: "official word from Hyperion is that the original Netbook project is on hold. Nothing has changed yet". (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 31. May. 2013, 00:10] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`27.May.2013` amigafuture.de (Webseite)	Text viewer: EvenMore 0.77, with MorphOS-port Chris Perver's text viewer EvenMore now is also available as MorphOS-port. Changes in version 0.77: Sped up scrolling by storing some commonly used values from nexted objects in variables instead. Also did the same for freeing memory for plugins. Updated OpenURL library code for version 7.10. Hopefully this will allow the OpenURL function to work on MorphOS. The VANILLAKEY event was stopping the string gadgets from working on the MorphOS port. Changed code to use MapRawKey() instead. Now uses ScrollRaster() function instead of ClipBlit() for scrolling window contents. ClipBlit was faster on AmigaOS 3, but did not work whenever a window was moved out of the screen on MorphOS.

Individual Computers has called its slightly reworked version "Cost Reduced" - the DVI-port now is molded and "components of the small DVI-connector board have now moved to the main flickerfixer". There are not any other changes. Due to the changed size of the board (picture) maybe the Indivision Mk2 AGA does not collide with a Blizzard Vision any longer but this could not be tested by the developer. Jens Schönfeld wrote: "The new version "Indivision AGA MK2cr" uses a different connector for the DVI cable. It gets in the way of electrolytic capacitor CE164C in the A4000T. If you want to use the new version in the A4000T, you need to replace that capacitor with a lower-profile ceramic type." (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 27.

`14.May.2013` Facebook (ANF)	Keyboard and joystick adapter: Keyrah V2 Press release: Keyrah lets you use keyboards and joysticks of classic computers on the USB port of a modern PC, Mac or Raspberry Pi. We have given our popular product a complete makeover and we'll be able to serve the increased demand starting may 20th, 2013. The most important change in version 2 is that there is no difference between country-specific keyboard layouts any more. Also, Keyrah V2 does not make a difference between 8-bit computers and Amiga any more: The different versions and layouts can now be chosen with a jumper setting. The following keyboard models are supported out of the box: C64 (all models) VC-20 C16 Amiga 1200 Amiga 600 The following keyboards can be used with some soldering and added parts (available separately): C128D C128 C116, plus/4 In addition to the keyboard, you can use up to two digital joysticks that behave as if the user would press keys on a keyboard. The first version of Keyrah was already equipped with a replica switch that resembled the C64 power switch. It was used to choose between one of two keyboard layouts: One for everyday use, and the other for use in an emulator. This switch is also available on Keyrah V2, and it has a third non-latching position: If you press and hold the switch in this position for more than one second, the ACPI-signal is sent to the computer, which will either shut down, or go into a power saving mode, depending on the settings in your operating system. Keyrah V2 is shipped in retail packing with a short manual. An off-the-shelve USB cable is required separately. The recommended retail price of Keyrah V2 is 34,90 EUR (recommended retail price including 19% VAT. Price and VAT rate may differ in your country. Shipping cost may be added.). Just like with the first version of Keyrah, we would like to emphasize that we cannot support gutting out functional classic computers. Keyrah V2 is only meant for giving new life to keyboards of irrepairably defective C64, Amiga or other computers. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 14.

`10.May.2013`	Cloanto: Amiga Forever 2013 (2nd Update) The complete emulation package Amiga Forever has been updated to version 2013 today - as usual there are three different versions. New features in Amiga Forever 2013: All Windows versions now come with a Windows Installer download (no need to burn or mount an ISO image to access the installer, or to wait for postal delivery) New Build Image feature (Tools menu of Plus Edition), to create personalized ISO images (burn to CD or DVD) and portable environments (e.g. to run from USB storage).

Update: (17:44, 10.05.13, snx) As Cloanto has announced meanwhile, customers who purchased the previous version on or after March 1st, 2013, are being e-mailed instructions to receive a free upgrade. An extra five dollar/euro upgrade discount coupon is being e-mailed to registered customers. 2nd Update: (19:26, 11.05.13, snx) To clarify on the discount, it is on top of the reduced upgrade price. So, if the regular price for the Plus Edition is 29.95, and the regular upgrade 20.00, with the coupon (5.05 off) it's 14.95 for a limited time. Below you will find the official press release that has been published meanwhile: Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013 May 10, 2013 - Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2013 and C64 Forever 2013, the latest versions of the award-winning Commodore-Amiga preservation, emulation and support suites for Windows. The 2013 editions for Windows had a focus on making the software easier to use, while providing new and more powerful features for advanced users and content creators. For example, the packages are easier to download and install, and emulated systems can be "repaired" with one click after unintended changes. Power users can now build ISO images and portable USB drive environments, use the visual Screen Clip Editor to better blend old screen modes into modern systems, or experiment with the new WinFellow emulation plugin or with a fresh build of the AROS Research OS. Outside the player, the RP9 thumbnail handler adds a new level of eye candy to File Explorer. "One of the most fascinating challenges of user interface design has to be how to please both novice and sophisticated users. The attempt to keep things as simple as possible often limits learning and can be perceived as a 'dumbing down' by a more demanding audience," noted Cloanto's Mike Battilana. "Even looking at recent versions of Windows, Mac OS and Linux, you can feel the pain of some choices. In today's search engines, queries that used to work reliably have become less precise. Word processors won't let you select the exact characters you want. Lacking perfect artificial intelligence, we are increasingly being autocorrected beyond recognition. C64 Forever brings us back to an era in which users knew that they were, or could be, in complete control of the machine, rather than vice versa. Tens of millions of home computers came with a powerful reminder of this, as they included a programming manual. Even today, the Amiga continues to inspire for how it elegantly met the needs of different audiences, leaving a feeling of freedom rather than one of artificial limitations. In addition to preserving access to a digital culture of tens of thousands of games, demoscene creations and other titles, we are trying to introduce new generations to these different angles, as we are convinced that this deeper perspective can help achieve a better view of the future too." In Amiga Forever and C64 Forever 2013, the same interface transparently connects to three different emulation engines, giving consistent access to more than 25 computer models, all with fully licensed operating systems. The shared RP9 file format makes titles easily portable across computers and software versions. While novice users only need to press Play, advanced users can Edit titles and browse through options that are designed to also help understand how the software works. Amiga Forever 2013 is available now in three editions: Value Edition (downloadable installer) Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build DVD ISO image) Premium Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed software and additional videos on 3 DVDs) C64 Forever 2013 is available now in three editions: Free Express Edition (feature-limited version) Downloadable Plus Edition (downloadable installer with option to build CD ISO image) Boxed Plus Edition (downloadable Plus Edition plus boxed CD) Amiga Forever and C64 Forever passed official Windows 8 logo tests on both x86 and x64 systems. Prices for both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever start from $9.95 (special upgrade offers). Registered customers who purchased a previous version of the software on or after March 1, 2013 are being sent instructions to download a free update. (snx) [News message: 10.

`07.May.2013` PPA (ANF)	Pencil and paper game: Cropky Cropky is an Amiga version of Dots - an abstract strategy game played by two people on a sheet of squared paper. The rules are a bit different from original Dots game - your aim is not to capture enemy dots but to link two dots together with a line drawn in any direction you want as long as you don't cross already existing lines or you have to draw another line (the dot is visible not farther than one square distance - vertically, horizontally or diagonally). Cropky is a conversion of a game under the same title for Atari XL/XE. The original idea comes from Krzysztof 'Kaz' Ziembik who was persuaded to give permission to create Amiga version by Mariusz 'Ramos' Rozwadowski. With the abilities and knowledge of Adam Stach (programmer), Piotr 'Piesiu' Radecki (graphics) and Piotr 'Pece' Cieślik (music) they created a game running on any Amiga with at least 1 MB of RAM. The game can be downloaded as ADF file or LHA archive. The manual so far is Polish only. (snx) [News message: 07. May. 2013, 12:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
