Version 11 ("XE") of the commercial Workbench distribution Amikit is now also available in a dedicated 'Vampire edition'. The distribution is described as "fully compatible with the Vampire V2 core". But since the V4 core is still in active development, the Amikit developer points out there might be the occasional "weird behaviour or crash" on that version of the Vampire.

Elektronic music: Creating Jungle/Hardcore tracks using a A1200 (video)
British producer and label owner Pete Cannon started his career in the electronic music business by creating tracks using Octamed 4 on an Amiga 1200. In a detailed demonstration for the Youtube channel "Sound on Sound", he shows how to use his A1200 - freshly dug out from his parents' shed - to create a Jungle track. The one difference being he's no longer using low quality samples generated using his Amiga or loaded from disk, instead he's controlling professional sample equipment from back in the day using MIDI.

MorphOS celebrates 20 year anniversary
André Siegel from the MorphOS team reminds us in a morph.zone announcement, that the PowerPC based clone of AmigaOS has been available to the public for 20 years now: on August 2nd, 2000, the team initiated public Betatests.

Arcade game: Atarenium Falcon (demo)
In 'Atarenium Falcon' (Video) the player has to collect pieces of coal and other items lying around in the screen-sized levels and then head for the exit. The early demo version that has been made available now does not seem to feature any enemies other than the static meteorites that should be avoided.

Jump'n Run: Smarty And The Nasty Gluttons
'Smarty And The nasty Gluttons' (Video) is a Jump'n Run that was intended for a commercial release in the early nineties but never finished due to the collapsing market. With help from members of the active Amiga scene, the original coder has now revamped his old code and added the missing functionality. Graphics and sounds had already been completed decades ago, which is why the full version of the game is now available for download.

With the USB adapter 'ADF Drive' and its accompanying copy program 'ADF Copy', Amiga floppy disks can be read using a standard PC floppy drive under Windows, Linux or Mac OS. Since our last news item, both the adapter's firmware as well as the frontend were updated several times: Several bugs were fixed and the User Interface was redesigned. Additionally, the software can now react to packet loss caused by a slow USB connection.
