It supports a wide range of functions and sound chips, from NES, SNES and Genesis to ES5506, VIC-20 and the Amiga. Version 0.6.1 released today contains many bug fixes and improvements for the chiptune tracker, including MIDI corrections, three new OPL emulation cores, two new chips and much more. The songs can be exported as audio files (.wav), VGM files and ZSM files (for Commander X16). An manual is available. (dr) [News message: 03.

The two "official" Amigas on which Amix could run were the Amiga models 2500UX and 3000UX. Bo Zimmerman has bought an Amiga 2500UX on eBay, since it had been on his wish list for a long time. In his blog post under the title link, he now reports on his impressions and the restoration. (dr) [News message: 02.

Changes: Added DynamicHires variant with an AGA palette. To enable select mode=Amiga AGA Dynamic HiRes/PCHG software mode. Implemented PCHGF_32BIT format to be used by DynamicHires AGA and Atari 8-bit ILBM IFF files (using BigLineChanges). DynamicHires OCS uses PCHGF_4BIT (SmallLineChanges) format IFF limited to RGB444. https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/ILBM_IFF_Interleaved_Bitmap#ILBM.PCHG was uses as a reference. This enabled accurate encoding of the Atari 8-bit palette in the iff files. Extra EHB palette optimization was renamed extra OCS palette optimization and extended to support also 2/4/8/16/32-color modes (to be extended later). Acorn Archimedes VIDC1 256-color mode (out of 4096). (dr) [News message: 01.
