`25.Apr.2025`	Chat software: AmigaGPT 2.5.0 Cameron Armstrong has developed a chat program called AmigaGPT, which is based on ChatGPT. The software supports the latest OpenAI models including the o1 family and runs on AmigaOS 3.1 and above (including 4.1) and on MorphOS. The source code of the tool can be downloaded separately. The new version 2.5.0 has now been released with the following changes: Added an ARexx menu to allow you to run your own scripts. ARexx is not yet implemented in MorphOS so you can try installing the 68k version of ARexx and see if that works. Added sample scripts Status bar background colour adjusted to improve readability Latest OpenAI chat models added (gpt-4.1, o3, o4-mini) The menu has been rewritten and now gets built dynamically. It will now automatically create menu options for all the available models. This will make adding new models much easier and quicker Download: AmigaGPT.lha (2 MB) (dr) [News message: 25.

`25.Apr.2025`	Turn-based strategy game: New demo version 04/25 of "Ecliptic" Ecliptic is described by the author as "a mixture of turn based tactical combat and role playing" (amiga-news.de reported) being a visually reminiscent of the retro-futuristic science fiction of the 1970s and 1980s. Now a sixth demo has been released for the game. As the developer reports in his developer diary, this is "a pretty big update to Ecliptic - it includes a whole new level." According to the developer, the game will not run on a simple A500 with 512K chip/512K slow RAM. It is his intention that this is possible, but it is not a high priority as the game already requires a harddrive. An Amiga 1200 with HD is recommended. (dr) [News message: 25.

`25.Apr.2025` Artur Gadawski (Mail)	7-bit: Bluetooth adapter for control pads 7-Bit has created a Bluetooth adapter called Ryś BlueLink, with which wireless control pads from Microsoft (X Box One), Sony (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3) and Nintendo (Joy-Con) can be used with an Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200. Ryś BlueLink has an OLED display that allows the user to configure the device and update the firmware via WiFi. As the developer Artur Gadawski tells us, users had specifically asked for an interface that supports wireless XBox and Playstation pads and is specially tailored to the Amiga. He uses the licensed BTstack from BlueKitchen for this. The biggest challenge was to keep the device compact and the energy consumption as low as possible. It is currently only available from the Polish allegro for the equivalent of around 60 euros (plus shipping). (dr) [News message: 25.

`25.Apr.2025`	Tool: Audio decompression with QoaToAiff 0.2 The relatively new "Quite OK Audio Format" (QOA) is a lossy audio compression format: audio signals (44100hz, stereo) are encoded at 278 kbits/s, exactly 1/5 of the bits required for an uncompressed WAV file (amiga-news.de reported). Grzegorz Kraszewski has written a decoder that converts QOA files into uncompressed AIFF (source code on GitHub). In version 0.2, he has implemented output buffering and the hard disc operations are now faster. (dr) [News message: 25.
