Music: Piano arrangements of Amiga game music
Grazia Pizzuto is a church musician in Bonn and teaches piano and improvisation. She also runs a YouTube channel where she presents piano arrangements of game music, including Amiga games. She has recently published the following songs: When asked how she came to arrange and play Amiga game music, Grazia kindly replied:
"I have never had an Amiga myself. It all started when my husband introduced me to Chris Hülsbeck's Piano Collection. These are sheet music and CD/mp3s that we had supported as a Kickstarter project. When I heard this music for the first time, it immediately appealed to me and since then I've always been looking for good music in (retro) computer games.

Several factors play a role in the selection of the pieces: First and foremost, I consider the recommendations/tips from my viewers. Another decisive factor is how much the pieces appeal to me personally. I also talk to my husband about how much a piece of music evokes nostalgia in him (he had a C64 and knew the Amiga from friends). Next, I check whether there is already sheet music available, for example on Musescore, or whether I have to arrange the piece myself.

For the Amiga songs I often work with MOD files in an MOD file tracker. If I have neither notes nor MODs, I often listen to the originals and then write the notes from what I hear. Of course, I also have a look at longplays to get an idea of the game. Occasionally I play one or two games on emulators (Vice, WinUAE, RetroArch) to get a feel for the gameplay."

Thank you very much, Grazia. We look forward to many more Amiga titles! (dr)

Blog: Well-known Secrets of AmigaDOS
As Carl Svenssons writes in his blog entry "Well-known Secrets of AmigaDOS", most consumer models of the Amiga series were shipped with heavily watered-down documentation. The Amiga 500 was an exception to this rule, but owners of later machines - such as the A1200 - may not have received any documentation for the command line portion of AmigaOS at all.

Furthermore, the normal end user had no access to the official developer documentation. His present essay is dedicated to hidden or even completely undocumented or unfinished features of AmigaDOS versions 2 and 3. (dr)
