Video player: Amos Video Player
The group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP", known among other things for the fantasy shooter Project Quest, which is currently in development, or the mini-game None of Us, updated their "AMOS Video Player", which has been in development since 2020, a few days ago and fixed some bugs
According to the developers, it is "a very simple video player that runs on any Amiga." The playback and encoding target is fixed at 320x256 25 fps, but changeable in the source code (2 colours up to HAM6 is possible, but then much slower). The loading time is not parallel to the playback time due to the non-optimised code, so the result is terrible on real hardware, but looks pretty good under WinUAE. Everybody is invited to play with the source code.

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.9
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

Jump'n Run: Demo version V1.5 of "Creeping Me Out Hex Night"
Michael 'Mixel' Dawes provides another demo version of his jump'n run 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night', created with the game construction kit Scorpion Engine. This new preview is functionally the same as version 1.4 apart from a few bug fixes, but there is now a separate AGA version with some optimisations and new backgrounds and effects.
As Dawes shows with examples, the ECS version sometimes has more colours on the screen than the AGA version, which in turn makes up for this with the greater depth in the background with the full-screen parallax.
You can support the developer via his Patreon page.

User report: The PiStorm32-lite, part 2
The first part of my report ended with the "BUPtest" giving an error message after switching on the Amiga 1200. When I plugged in the HDMI cable, I noticed that the large plug of the HDMI cable bent the card upwards by quite a bit. So I suspected that this might have caused contact problems.

What is one of the advantages of an AmigaOne X5000? You can use AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS in parallel on it (and Linux). But what drives you crazy on a regular basis? The obviously out-of-sync clocks!

Paint program: Multipaint 2023 for Windows/Linux/Mac
Multipaint is designed to be able to draw pictures with the colour limitations of some typical 8-bit and 16-bit computer platforms. In the now released version 2023, the Amiga mode is now also an official part of the painting programme (see also the corresponding blog entry on this):
n Amiga screen with variable size and 2-32 colours, adjustable palette with 16 levels each for red, green and blue. Multipaint can only handle larger bitmaps to a limited extent, so it is recommended to limit the size to the usual resolutions, e.g. 320 x 200 or 320 x 256.
There is an export for IFF files that can be loaded e.g. in Deluxe Paint, but currently no IFF import.
