DIY: Remake of audio digitiser AP420
The AP420, released by Phoenix Microtechnologies in 1991, is an audio digitiser that can take a microphone or line-level input and is connected to the parallel port of an Amiga. 'wiretap-retro' has posted an updated schematic on GitHub that matches the one in the official PDF manual, with the addition of a second RCA jack so you can connect stereo audio. Likewise, he has upgraded the microphone jack, which now features a 3.5mm TRS jack. The selector switch on the board can be used to switch between the RCA input and the microphone input.

MP3 player: Reel Deck V0.71 (update)
After Atris, his Tetris clone for RTG Amigas, and AB_Template, his programming assistance for AmiBlitz 3, Sami Vehmaa had released Reel Deck, an MP3 player for Amigas with graphics card, a few days ago (amiga-news.de reported). With his update to version 0.63 he made some corrections, so that you can now move the window without problems, among other things. Required are a graphics card, a faster CPU, AmigaOS3.x, AHI and at least 20 MB FastRAM. Reel Deck costs at least 3 Euro.
Update: (12.10.2022, 18:22, dr)
In the meantime, version 0.71 is available, which should now use less CPU power: 80% less when idle and 20% less when playing. Likewise, the control keys have been revised, which should now be closer to reality.

Jump'n Run: Minky released (update)
Minky (video) is a jump'n run similar to Super Mario or Giana Sisters, which requires an Amiga 500 with one Megabyte RAM (amiga-news.de reported about the pre-release version). Now the developer 'Matze1887' has released the full version, which offers 28 levels, each of which can be accessed directly by password. The game is available from 5.99 Euro on itch.io.
Update: (12.10.2022, 18:05, dr)
The developer has released a little update which fixes a level map glitch in Level 4 and which now shows the final picture. Please note: If you use up to 2 external drives on standard Amiga 500, then download the Add21k variant which frees some more Chip-RAM.
