`24.Sep.2023` CommodoreBlog	Game ports: Game..X and Dragon Slayer Franck 'hitchhikr' Charlet has ported two games from X68000, home computer created by Sharp Corporation, to the Amiga: Dragon Slayer should run on any Amiga and is based on Moby Games' version for the FM-7 home computer. The game is commonly considered one of the progenitors of the action RPG genre. The premise is similar to Roguelikes: the player takes control of a knight who must fight his way through large overhead maze-like dungeons. Unlike roguelikes, the combat in the game is fully action-oriented The shoot'em up Game.X (YouTube video) requires an AGA-Amiga and was originally released in 1990 by Kugenuma Soft.

`22.Sep.2023`	Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 V1.0 Release Candidate A month ago, Developer Michal Schulz had released beta version 2.1 of his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture, focusing on the PiStorm and PiStorm32lite (amiga-news.de reported). Since then, many other improvements have been added. Changes of the release candidate of version 1.0: BFxxx updated The bitfield instructions operating on memory are not optimized to use as little memory accesses as possible. There are still corner cases which will do more traffic than necessary, but they are now very limited. The bitfield instructions will fetch byte/word/long word/quad word instead of always working on quad words. Better write to CHIPSET registers After a write to memory area belonging to Amiga chipset, a byte read from ROM is issued. This improves stability of some old games/demos which never assumed to be running on m68k which is that fast. A read from ROM gives Paula enough time to complete the interrupt acknowledgment properly. IPL filter Emu68 filters the IPL lines and recognizes an IPL change if and only if two subsequent IPL reads (which are roughly 400 nanoseconds away) give the same result. Improves many games or demos which suffered from spurious interrupts. Write buffer removed The write buffer was my experiment introduced quite long time ago - it featured a write combining to subsequent byte/word locations as long as they would finally result in a longword write cycle. It worked relatively well in most cases, but failed miserably in some others. Since this was just a dirty hack, it has been removed now. CCR optimizer scan depth The number of m68k opcodes which are scanned in-advance during m68k to arm translation for elimination of CCR flag updates is now adjustable. Use EmuControl version 1.3 for that (nightly build from 23. Sept. 2023 or newer). The developer provides more detailed information on the changes in his new Patreon post. (dr) [News message: 22.

`22.Sep.2023`	ReAction GUI for XAD: Avalanche 2.4 for AmigaOS 3 and 4 Chris Young's Avalanche is a ReAction-based graphical user interface for the unarchiving system XAD, which also supports the xfdmaster.library and can search for viruses using the xvs.library. Since version 2.1, simple editing of LhA/Zip archives also is possible (Zip requires zip.library - only under AmigaOS 4). The developer has written his tool explicitly for AmigaOS 3.2.1, but has also tested it under AmigaOS 4. Changes of version 2.4: Support Deark (needs enabling by tooltype) This is a "beta" feature, it may be unstable and due to a bug in Deark, it is not possible to extract to the root of any device. Add option to select modules (MODULES tooltype) Fixx password caching Also use T: as temp by default from CLI Download: avalanche.lha (115 KB) (dr) [News message: 22.

`20.Sep.2023`	Amiga Games That Weren't: Fatal Mission As the website "Games That Weren't" reports, "Fatal Mission" was an ambitious project started by Ola Zandelin and Robert Hennings in 1993: "a cinematic style adventure in the lines of Another World, but with bitmap graphics instead of vector style one". On his website, Ola Zandelin has published some examples of this. The website "AmigaPD" conducted an interview with the developer in 2013. In it, he suggests that the game was playable to a certain extent, but it was never finished because there was a lack of time and experience to put everything together and plan it properly.

`14.Sep.2023` Michael Kafke (ANF)	Game: ASM - Das Computer-Spiel (The Director's Cut) released (German) The game about the former computer game magazine "ASM - Aktueller Software Markt", published from 1986 to 1995, which was announced in May, is now available, but as German version only. Originating from a programming competition in 1991, the graphic adventure was revised, extended and provided with new music by Roland 'Triace' Voß for twelve months with the help of editors of that time, so that it could now - "just 32 years later" - be completed as "Director's Cut". As chief editor Manfred 'Manni' Kleimann, the player moves through the editorial building in point-and-click style from the first-person perspective as in "Die Kathedrale" or "Uninvited" and tries to track down the secret of his own memory loss. The game doesn't take itself seriously and wants to let friends of humor à la "Spaceballs", "The Naked Gun" or Monty Python get their money's worth. In addition to a download version, the game is also available as a physical product, which contains a CD for Amigas with an appropriate drive, including CDTV and CD³², as well as a poster, three disk stickers, an ASM wooden cube and a 20-page manual (in the optical style of an ASM from 1991). Stefan Bayer has exclusively contributed a brand new "Donald Bug" comic for the manual. "ASM - The Computer Game" runs on any Amiga from Kickstart 1.3 with at least 1 MB RAM. A hard disk installer is also included. The game is controlled by keyboard and mouse, the use of a joystick is optional. A hard disk with 3 MB free memory and 2 MB RAM are recommended.

`11.Sep.2023` GitHub	8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal v2023-09-10 Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now. Today, version v2023-09-10 was released. Changes: continues improvements to the MSX 2, especially its video chip and this emulator's automated detection of cartridge types; corrects the 65c02's BCD results, where they differ from a vanilla 6502; corrects the 65816's state after a BRK while in emulation mode; and resolves some timing discrepancies in some of the unofficial NOPs on the base 6502.

`07.Sep.2023` Mirandor (comments area)	Pop Art: Amiga pictures from Keith Haring found, sold via NFT auction Keith Haring was a well-known member of the US Pop Art movement, who was gifted an Amiga by Timothy Leary, another famous artist, to design graphics for Leary's never completed computer version of the Science Fiction novel Neuromancer. Learys Neuromancer project didn't go anywhere, but Haring used the Amiga anyway, apparently - to create digital illustrations in his typical style. The Amiga disks containing his creations were found in Learys residue a decade ago, but only now they will be made available to the public: artnet.com reports that NFTs for five of the images will be sold via an online auction - four of the images can be seen in artnet's article. The auctioneer estimates the worth of the collection of Keith Haring NFTs to be around 1.65 million USD - 200,000 to 500,000 Dollar per image. A similar auction two years ago with Amiga pictures from Andy Warhol earned the auctioneer 3.4 Millionen Dollar. (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 07.

`04.Sep.2023` Willem Drijver (Apollo Team) (ANF)	Apollo team working on a port of "Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood" Willem Drijver from the Apollo team informs us that the team is working on porting the Realtime Strategical Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood to the Apollo hardware. The game was published in 2002 for Windows and ported to MorphOS by e.p.i.c. / Runesoft in 2006. When approached by amiga-news.de, Gunnar von Boehn (Apollo team), who was involved in the MorphOS port back then, confirms that the team is in contact with the rightsholders and that the intention is to distribute the Apollo version of Robin Hood commercially. Drijver has published a video showcasing the current state of the project, he describes the work done on the "experimental exercise" (Drijver) so far as follows: "RHLOS is a great RPG game from SpellBound released in 2002 and intended for Pentium PCs (233Mhz/64Mb). Current stage of the project is that we have succeeded in getting the game somewhat up-and-running on V4. The FPS is obviously not on the level that we would like it to be, but basic gameplay is already possible... For compiling we used the ApolloCrossDev setup for Linux which is another (beta) project from Apollo team. Graphics routines are changed from SDL based APIs to native Apollo Blit and Scroll routines, partly in Assembler. Sound routines are also rewritten and are now using Apollo Arne instead of SDL. There is still some work to be done on the mixer and effect routines, but we are confident to make that work also. There is still a lot of work to be done to get RHLOS up to a level where it could be released in any form or shape. But we share this first results with you with the intention to raise interests within the Amiga (development) community. If you feel you have the skills and time to help us in this project, we are looking for you to join us! (please PM me on Discord @WillemDrijver)." (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 04.

`30.Aug.2023` Simon Neumann (Mail)	Alinea Computer: TV-Port and OmniPort EX available Press release: Alinea Computer is very pleased to present two versions of the TV-Port and the OmniPort EX. Both products are port expansion boards that can be easily combined with each other. TV-Port The TV port is an interface board for every Amiga 600/1200 from which the TV modulator has been removed. The free space allows a hardware interface on the Amiga 600/1200 desktop case to be neatly routed to the outside. The following interfaces are available: 1x USB, 1 x HDMI FFC, HDMI Indivision MK2cr/MK3 or 1x Micro-SD. The TV port can be easily installed in the Amiga 600/1200 using the mounting block supplied. The basic version of the TV port can be purchased for between €9.99 and €14.99, depending on the variant. OminPort EX and OminPort EX for Vampire 2 The OmniPort EX is an extended version of the OmniPort multiport adapter - as reported earlier - which leads various hardware interfaces on the Amiga 1200 desktop case cleanly to the outside via the expansion port. The following interfaces are led out in the standard version: 2x USB (USB card), 1 x HDMI (IndivisonMK2cr/MK3) and 1x Micro-SD (SD2IDE). The OmniPort EX for the Vampire 2 has the following interfaces: 2x USB (USB card), 1x HDMI (Vampire 2) and 1x network (Vampire 2). The special feature of the EX version is that the motherboard can be equipped with an additional piggyback board. Boards for 1x USB, 1x Micro-SD, 1x HDMI for Indivision MK3 or 1x HDMI FFC with ribbon cable clamp connection are available here. The piggyback board can be easily installed in the Amiga 1200 together with the motherboard using the mounting block supplied. In order to be able to use the respective interfaces on the TV port or OmniPort EX, the corresponding hardware must already be installed in the Amiga 600/1200. Suitable cables and adapters are available as standard or as an option. The basic version of the OmniPort EX can be purchased from 26.95 Euro. The optional piggyback boards range from 9.99 Euro to 14.95 Euro. The basic version of the OmniPort EX Vampire 2 can be purchased from 35.95 euros. The optional piggyback boards range from 9.99 euros to 14.95 euros. (dr) [News message: 30. Aug. 2023, 15:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`30.Aug.2023`	Video tutorial: Creating a vertical scrolling demo with Scorpion Engine Erik 'earok' Hogan has posted on YouTube a recording of a Twich stream showing how to create a vertically scrolling demo from scratch on the Amiga (and Sega Mega Drive) using the Scorpion Engine. As the developer explains, the Amiga has no native support for column scrolling, but it does have the ability to display sprites with infinite height, which makes it possible to emulate the effect. The demo versions for the Amiga and the Sega Mega Drive look the same, but the setuo is fundamentally different. (dr) [News message: 30.

When a window is open, pressing F1 gives a small toolbar and thus the functionality to, for example, refresh the window, create/delete a folder or insert files. (dr) [News message: 30.

Now he has written "USBAudio2", a small tool that supports USB devices with the "audio protocol 2" of the USB standard. It should now be possible to operate webcams, for example. The tool is controlled via the shell by means of three commands for playing and recording or displaying the input level. (dr) [News message: 28.

`28.Aug.2023`	Event: Further informationen on AmiWest 2023 From 12 to 15 October 2023, AmiWest 2023 will take place in Sacramento, California. Now the organisers have published further information: "The AmiWest 2023 is coming fast! Going strong since 1998, this year will be the 26th year of the longest-running Amiga-focused show in the world. Set in Sacramento, CA, the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club and a dedicated group of volunteers host the event. Kicking off on October 12th is the AmiWest Developer Conference. AmiWest has been hosting a DevCon for about a decade. This is two days of focused learning and sharing from experts worldwide on the latest AmigaOS developments, and this year will be no different. Hosted by Steven Solie, lead developer on the ExecSG team, the DevCon will cover various AmigaOS flavors, discussing topics like debugging, DMA routines, and more. The main exhibition opens at 10:00 AM on Oct 14th. Trevor Dickinson of A-Eon will launch the show with A-Eon news and announcements. Following Trevor will be a full schedule of speakers from across the globe. Speakers include RJ Mical (original Amiga dev), Michal Schulz (author of EMU68k ), and more. For those who cannot make it, we will livestream the day on YouTube. All the details are on the AmiWest webpage. The exhibit hall will feature over 10 exhibitors. Many returning friends of the show, like Doug Compton of 10 MARC and Mr. Toast. We also expect Matthew Leaman of AmigaKit to return to the show for the first time since 2017. Also joining us for the first time is Ricardo Quesada with his UniJoySticle2 product. A full list of exhibitors is posted on the AmiWest website. The banquet starts at 7 PM on Saturday, October 14th, featuring Garry Hare, Ph.D. He was the CEO of Amiga Inc. from 2003 to 2005, directly following Bill McEwen. You can read more about Garry's involvement in the latest edition of "From Vultures to Vampires" volume two. Garry will provide unique insights into Amiga's history from a rarely heard voice. The SACC Sales Table will be back, offering a variety of Amiga parts, books, and software. There will also be some complete Amiga classic systems for sale! We expect to have on sale an A2000 and an A500, possibly more. The show will also have a raffle filled with cool gadgets for all your computers. After you grab your raffle tickets, be sure to stop by the game's competition table and give Knightmare a spin for a chance to win this year's trophy. Keep an eye on the AmiWest blog for the latest update on the show. In 1994, folks said the Amiga was dead. Boy, were they wrong!" (dr) [News message: 28.

`27.Aug.2023`	Platform game: Updated demo version of "Super Delivery Boy" Two years ago, NeesoGames published the last demo version of "Super Delivery Boy" (amiga-news.de reported). As the developers report, the development of the game has progressed continuously despite the lack of public updates (YouTube video). What has changed: Animated Main Menu with options (music and sound volumes are saved on disk) Up to 64 colors on screen (EHB mode) Every level (but the interiors) have multi layer parallax scrolling Mission hub New tiles, platforms, visual and sound effects Overall game rebalanced ... and, as usual, a lot more for you to find out! Future plans: The game will feature 4 main levels based on the 4 seasons Each level will feature different enemies, puzzles, secrets and so on The level in the demo can be identified with spring, summer level will be in the next public release, then hopefully the remaining levels will be released on season change but I can't promise!

`27.Aug.2023` Frank (ANF)	Puzzle game: Connect V1.4 In the puzzle game "Connect" (screenshots), you have to connect a series of ICs in such a way that each chip receives exactly the number of connections printed on its package. Developer Frank Röger has written about the now released version 1.4: "Hello all, just in this moment we uploaded an updated version of Connect. It contains the following changes: 1. At the R2C2 user meeting, we did a lot of coop games and got stuck for a very long time in some games when we couldn't find the bug on the game board. There the idea was born to be able to display the error by pressing a key, to prevent excessively long searches. No sooner said than done, this function is now in the game. By pressing the H key, all chips that do not have the required number of connections are marked red. However, this help has the disadvantage that the game time is set to 9999 seconds. This is not enough for a new highscore, but it is helpful for people who want to solve "all" game boards completely. Please note that this only works in solo and coop mode. 2. The bug devil has crept in. We found him drawing the game cursor excessively on the game board. Luckily we were able to tame it and get some performance out of it, especially on the Amiga 500. :) 3. The manual has been updated. In it you will now find an overview of all shortcuts available in the game. Have fun playing!" (dr) [News message: 27.

`27.Aug.2023` Christian Wiegel (Mail)	Turn-based strategy game: Farm update for "Settle the World" After several developer diaries in which he describes his programming progress, Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel has published a farm update for his turn-based building and trading game "Settle the World". He writes about it: "This update is also just another small step on the way to a complete game. I have completely rewritten much of the programme code for the game over the last few months. The game was not originally designed to be greatly expanded. But since there is still a lot missing in Settle the World (regular elections, natives, computer opponents, etc.) it became urgent to rework everything. The advantage is that the game now requires much less chip RAM and I can therefore include more music tracks in the coming months. The changes Pioneers can now build farms after the citizens of your cities have reached the worker class for the first time. Farms are needed later in the game to supply the aristocrat class with meat and wine. There are new units to make the best use of farms: Cowboys for cattle breeding Grape pickers, to harvest grapes Winemakers, to produce wine from grapes (luxury good for the aristocrat class) Butchers to process cattle into meat (food for the aristocrat class). New buildings: Wine press (can be built on farms) Slaughterhouse (can be built in cities) Other new features: Integrated help texts/guidance (but it's still early days). More sound effects. More intermediate images for events. New function "Move to town". Moves units via pathfinding to the selected city. New terrain type "Plains". Millitary supply wagon to heal/repair damaged millitary units outside cities or to equip colonists to soldiers. Soldiers can mount horses outside of cities and thus become dragoons. Map generator completely rewritten. No longer generates diagonal land bridges and creates varied landscapes. There are now more whales, horses and bison on the map. Unnecessary transport units (ships and trade wagons) can be destroyed in cities and the player gets half of the construction costs back. Citizens of higher classes of citizen now need more food types per turn (fish and meat in addition to wheat). Large ships can now only anchor in cities if at least one dock is available. The entire graphics system has been reworked to free up more chip mem memory for more future in-game music. Countless things have been added, changed, tried and thrown away since the last update in February 2023. What's still "missing" in this update: Elections Keeping citizens happy does not yet have a big impact on the game. In the future, there will be regular elections, which the player must win in order to remain in power. The technical foundations for such an election system have been laid in the current version. Native people Here, too, the basis for integrating native tribes into the game has been created in the current version. The plan is to place native villages and units on the map with which the player can interact. Unfortunately, I did not manage to include this feature in time. Computer opponents CPU-controlled opponents are very complex to implement. I have been working on this intensively for several weeks, but I have to put this feature off until later. With the programming of the natives I will hopefully be able to gain enough experience to be able to realise computer opponents later. You see...I am far from finished with the development of -Settle the World- ;-) So that the next update doesn't have to wait for months, there will be two versions available for download on the project page in the next weeks. One is the "official" update and the other is a current development version. The development versions will hardly be tested, but most of them are compatible with the game state. I hope this will give me some more feedback on the game ;-) (dr) [News message: 27. Aug. 2023, 15:12] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`26.Aug.2023`	Motorola68k emulation: Beta version 2.1 of Emu68 (V0.16) Developer Michal Schulz has released beta version 2.1 of his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture, focusing on the PiStorm and PiStorm32lite which fixes bugs of the previous version and introduces many important improvements. Changes: CCR fixes. Beta 2 has changed internal handling of CCR, but unfortunately added several bugs due to the change. Beta 2.1 fixes all these problems, improving compatibility with m68k software. Fixed fusing of MOVE instructions. Until now there were few corner cases where fusing of subsequent MOVE.L instructions resulted in wrong behavior of generated code. Thanks to Paraj this issues are solved now and fusing of MOVE.L instructions works without (hopefully) any bugs. Added temporal instruction cache working on CHIP memory during JIT translation process. This greatly improves the translation itself, since not only the translator itself accesses instruction stream, but also CCR optimizer and CRC32 calculator. Added optional slowdown of code executed from CHIP memory. This might be important for old games and/or demos which rely on CPU busyloops Removed code inlining feature on 24-bit memory to reduce the need of crawling through the CHIP memory. Greatly improves the performance of demos/games where instruction cache is set to checksumming mode. The beta version 2.1 is recommended for all PiStorm users. Per default the firmware is used in two-slot mode. By adding "one_slot" option to cmdline.txt one can force the single-slot operation. The developer provides more detailed information on the changes in his new Patreon article. (dr) [News message: 26. Aug. 2023, 21:53] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`26.Aug.2023` Reddit	Font: "TopazDouble" as Amiga-native recreation of Topaz "TopazDouble" is an Amiga-native recreation of the 8×8 pixel Topaz font, now rendered in 8×16 for modern resolutions. As the developers wrote, the classic Amiga with 640×256 (PAL) uses a resolution close to 2:1 - which means that the standard Topaz font would be half-height if used with resolutions with a pixel aspect ratio closer to 1:1. For some reason, an Amiga-native version of a double-height Topaz font for resolutions with a square (1:1) had never been written, which "TopazDouble" was now making up for. This font is said to be ideal for "modern" resolutions such as 800×600, 1024×768, classic Amiga resolutions such as 640×400 and 640×512 (Hi-Res Interlace) - as well as 16:9 resolutions such as 720p and 1080p.

`25.Aug.2023` Patreon	Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.3 / RetroAnimator (update) The "Scorpion Engine" by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used. According to the developer the Scorpion Engine 2023.3 is the fastest version to date, and among many smaller improvements, it features a handful of major upgrades: Support for the RetroAnimator animation toolkit for fluid animations. Support for CDTV/CD32 music on Amiga. Support for Column Scrolling on Mega Drive. Export to CDTV/CD32 ISO on Amiga. Export to DragonDrive cartridge on Mega Drive. There is also a new introduction video that briefly covers all of the tabs, as well as the differences between the Amiga and Mega Drive platforms. Update: (16:16, 25.08.23, dr) As Erik Hogan informs us, he has now also released the above-mentioned RetroAnimator on his Patreon website. RetroAnimator is a toolkit that can be used to create super fluid animations with minimal memory usage. It was previously only used in Engine 9000 (which was used to make MetroSiege), now it's available to Scorpion Engine developers as well (though it technically could be adapted to any engine as it uses a simple JSON data format).

`24.Aug.2023` One Joyful Day (ANF)	Preview video: Real-time strategy game "AI Kills All Humans" "One Joyful Day" is a new Game Studio making games for Modern Amigas and PC. The first game is called "AI Kills All Humans" and is a tactical Real-time strategy game, in which you play as an AI, which due to a slight change in code, is sending robots to kill all humans. You however don't have direct control of your robots, but robots independently decide how to execute your commands, like a general telling troops to attack, but troops themselves decide how. Release is planned for the fourth quarter of 2023. The developer has already gained experience with earlier releases such as Help My Cat! (YouTube video), "Ducks Of Apocalypse" (YouTube video) or Hollywood with Designer Tutorial (part 1, part 2). "AI Kills All Humans" (Steam link) is also being written with Hollywood. Versions for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS are planned. There may also be a version for AmigaOS 3, but due to the requirements it will probably only be playable in emulation. (dr) [News message: 24.
