`20.Jul.2023`	Retrohax blog: Amiga 500 upgrade #1 As Retrohax.net writes, he had restored hundreds of retro machines to their original state over the past years (sometimes with minor modifications) and he was kind of tired of it, so the time had come to try something different. So he decided to create a new series of posts in which he will try to describe upgrades and visual modifications of the 20 remaining unrestored Amiga 500s. Each of these Amiga 500s will be unique and described in a separate blog post. As soon as such an Amiga is completed and tested, he will start an eBay auction with it. This is post number 1 of 20.

`19.Jul.2023` Andreas Magerl (ANF)	Print magazine: Special issue of ASM (German) German magazine ASM ("Aktueller Software-Markt", current software market) was published from March 1986 to February 1995. Now a special issue is available, which contains more than 30 reviews of current games for 8- and 16-bitters as well as numerous interviews: On the one hand with a number of people involved at that time - Manfred Kleimann, Frank Brall, Martina Strack, Bendrik Muhs, Stefan Swiergiel, Klaus Segel, Stefan Bayer, Torsten Oppermann and Dirk Fuchser - and on the other hand also with Thomas Meiertoberens (Magic Bytes) and Steve Wilcox (Elite Systems), Roman Werner (Super Marble Boy), The Mojon Twins (Ramiro el Vampiro), Juan Manchon (Amigastore. eu), Andreas Magerl (APC&TCP) and Sebastian Bach (Polyplay). The official press release: "ASM returns - The ASM (Aktueller Software Markt), a popular German computer magazine in the late 1980s, is still revered in retro circles today. It has recently made a comeback after a 28-year hiatus. In 1986, the ASM magazine covered almost every important computer system, including the C-64, Spectrum, Schneider CPC, MSX, Dragon, and Enterprise. The 16-bit Atari ST and Amiga were also included, starting in 1987 and finding their way into households. However, by 1995, the PC had become dominant, and there was no longer a market for multi-platform magazines. Nowadays, there has been a significant change, as old computers that were once abandoned or thrown away in the 1990s are finding new admirers. Every year, more games are being released that surpass expectations and bring out the best in these systems. A German magazine that used to accompany home computers during their success in German living rooms is making a comeback. The new issue, 3/23, aims to provide an overview of the current 8-bit and 16-bit software market, just like it did in the past. However, the new ASM is more than just a software magazine. It also pays tribute to the old ASM editions from the 1980s. There are plenty of interviews with former editors, which offer interesting insights into the daily work of software journalists at that time. The old guard was pleased with the project. 'I am thrilled that the previous format has been reintroduced and executed so well,' states Manfred Kleimann, the former editor-in-chief who created the magazine's concept in 1985 and provided input for the new edition. The latest print edition can be found at the title link, where also other Amiga magazines like 'Amiga Future' and 'Amiga Joker' as well as the computer magazine 'LOAD.' are available. This 100-page special edition costs 8 euros and requires an additional fee for shipping." From the content: Over 30 test reports on current games for 8 and 16 bits Interviews with Manfred Kleimann, Frank Brall, Martina Strack, Bendrik Muhs, Stefan Swiergiel, Klaus Segel, Stefan Bayer, Torsten Oppermann, Dirk Fuchser Interviews with Thomas Meiertoberens (Magic Bytes) and Steve Wilcox (Elite Systems), Roman Werner (Super Marble Boy), The Mojon Twins (Ramiro el Vampiro), Juan Manchon (Amigastore.eu), Andreas Magerl (APC&TCP), Sebastian Bach ( poly play) Reader survey on the ASM Competition resolution: Finally here - the ASM computer game In the spotlight: 40 years of Vectrex Flashback: what became of the St. Brides Girls?

`16.Jul.2023` Eldee Stephens (E-Mail)	AmigaOS 4: Guide for new A1222 users In the course of the press release about the start of production of the A1222+ motherboards (amiga-news.de reported), A-EON also gave Eldee Stephens permission to make his guide for potential A1222 users public. As he tells us, a lot of work went into the creation of this guide. Stephens has been a tester of the A1222 since the beginning and has regularly tested it with dozens of apps and games since 2015 to find out what works and what doesn't, what needs to be adjusted, etc. The compatibility lists for applications or games in this guide are the result of extensive testing. In addition, he has done extensive benchmarking tests with file systems and various HW components over time. The guide is a simple HTML-based collection of pages that guides new and potential users through the A1222 experience - from setting up the system to finding tools and games that work well. He further explains, "Hopefully it will help people avoid pitfalls and determine if the A1222 is a good machine for them or not. I wanted to level-set expectations so people know the reality of the system." Asked if he had come across anything remarkable in his numerous tests, Stephens said: "The only surprising thing to me was just how fast SPE-native software was. Games built to support the P1022 absolutely blow away the SAM460, although there are very few of them at the moment." Due to software changes, the guide is constantly being updated, but is mostly complete. (dr) [News message: 16. Jul. 2023, 20:16] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
