Now the developer 'quantumcodemonk' has, as he writes, created a few custom maps for the game "just for fun".

A600GS: Video update from Proteque on the development status
After his video from summer on image and music editing with the Orange Pi-based Amiga clone A600GS from AmigaKit, in which he still had to report on various problems, 'Proteque' has now followed up and taken a look at the current status of the system.
His conclusion: A lot has happened, updates are coming regularly and the A600GS now fulfills what he had previously expected. It would therefore be an inexpensive way to try out AmigaOS or to play a game with a real joystick and a real Amiga keyboard.

Bugfix for the MHI driver for MAS-player
Thomas Wenzel wrote: "There was a bug in the MHI driver for the MAS player that caused some of the RS232 handshake lines to become misaligned at startup. This has now been fixed: The driver now leaves the serial interface completely alone.
The error was noticed because there is a project that uses one of the RS232 lines to control an HDMI switch. Unfortunately, the switching status was always overwritten when the driver was started.
Happy New Year! :)"

Emulated Amiga: Amigakit announces A1200NG, special price for pre-orders
In a press release (PDF), Amigakit announces the "A1200NG", which, like the A600GS available since August, is apparently based on an ARM-based Orange Pi motherboard running a Linux-based Amiga emulator - hardware performance and software setup are therefore exactly the same as its little brother. The highlight of the A1200NG: The "breakout board", into which the Orange Pi is plugged and which extends it with various connections, has the exact dimensions of an Amiga 1200 board and is therefore installed in an original or reproduced A1200 keyboard housing.

amiga-news.de wishes you a happy new year
The amiga-news.de team hopes that our readers survived New Year's Eve well and wishes everyone a Happy New Year. For the Amiga, the past 12 months were - again - quite pleasing and we are confident that there will be a lot to report, discuss and try out again in 2025.
2024 was also a good year for amiga-news.de: we published 1400 news items, the editorial team also received an experienced addition with Nico Barbat and the technology department was significantly strengthened with Markus Bonet. Our news service, which is starting its 27th "financial year" today, should therefore also have a few good years ahead of it. The first goal is, of course, to produce a similar number of articles again, but we will also be working more intensively on the underlying technology.
If you would like to support our work, you are welcome to make a small donation via the PayPal button on our start page. The (small) proceeds will be used to cover our costs for a server and our three domains.
