Video presentation: Michael Spindler on 'Akiko 32' and 'Akiko Portable'
On Saturday, 28.05.2022, the RETROpulsiv 15.1 took place at the university in Augsburg. During this event Michael Spindler gave a presentation (in German) about his 'Akiko 32'-Projekt project and reported on the current status.

The Akiko32 is an Amiga-AGA compatible computer with extensions in modern mini ITX format. The board is a hobby development and appears as open source for non-commercial purposes. On the board is a 68030 processor in PGA form factor, which can be clocked with 14MHz or 50MHz and also the complete AGA chipset (Alice, Lisa, Paula). To save ICs, not the usual combination like in the A1200 (Budgie, Gayle, CIAs) was used, but an Akiko IC which does almost the same tasks in the CD32. Currently the developer is working on the network card, which is based on the ZorroLAN.

Simultaneously, the developer has been working for a good half year on the 'Akiko Portable', an Amiga to go, which is not an emulation. This is supposed to fulfill the following requirements:

as thin as possible
two to three hours of battery operation targeted
14 inch display
conversion of Amiga signals to the TFT display
USB-C power supply
Compact Flash card routed to the outside
Notebook keyboard with number pad
Trackpad
USB for data exchange

The goal is to present a first early prototype at Amiga37. (dr)

Farming simulation: Farmiga
The Polish developer 'Tukinem' is writing a farming simulation in AMOS, which he has named 'Farmiga':

Various vegetables and cereals have to be grown, sold at the market and cows or chickens bought with the money earned. The last update on 4 June added a new graphic design, an intro and a selection screen for saving and loading, as well as German and English menu navigation. Music is still missing.

The author has tested his game on an Amiga equippd with Kickstart 3.1.4, 512kB Chip RAM and 2MB Fast RAM. (dr)
