`17.Jul.2026`	Unofficial refresh of the Doom clone: GloomReforged AGA 1.7 Based on the source code released some years ago, GloomReforged AGA is now available as an unofficial, refreshed overhaul compatible with Gloom (Classic), Gloom Deluxe, Gloom 3 and Zombie Massacre. Version 1.7 provides the following changes: FPS counter is now available via Tooltype "FPS" (Note: Gloom runs at a max. framerate of 25 FPS) Tooltypes cleaned up (AGA/P96, P96 can be combined with 5:4/STRETCH/WIDE/HIRES) Stretch Cleanup (use 400x240/preferred 800x480 only and prefer 428x240/preferred 854x480) Widescreen rendering with the same resolutions as above (Note: resolution has to be active in P96Prefs) 5:4 mode for 320x256 rendering (with HIRES 640x512) gloomgame is now ignored because it caused errors. Level select works per level and not per episode anyway. The color palettes have been corrected in Gloom3 and Zombie Massacre; the colors and font are now correct.

`17.Jul.2026`	Harddisk Tool: Mnemosyne V1.3.0 Mnemosyne is a tool for AmigaOS 3.x that shows how much space files and folders take up on the hard disk. It is supposed to help manage the space on the hard disk better. Mnemosyne is written in C and uses ReAction. ClassAct is required under AmigaOS 3.1 and 3.1.4. Version 1.3.0 provides the following changes: Made Mnemosyne program from: 33.832B to 43.152B Faster division through bit-shifting for rounding numbers. Added indicator for which folder Mnemosyne is scanning. Added Keyboard shortcuts for the Menu Bar. Added a stop button to stop the scanning process by closing the new Mnemosyne scanning window. Added new graphical representation of the results in a treemap style graph that shows the percentage of the directory size visually. Including a new option to enable/disable the graph in the settings. Added a notice/alert to inform the user if Mnemosyne has run out of memory and cannot continue scanning. Added new drag feature where folder icons can be dragged into the Mnemosyne window to scan them. Fixed issue where Mnemosyne would not update the bottom text by itself. Fixed issue where Mnemosyne would not store settings correctly if it was stored in a folder. Improvements to the code using clang-format to make it more readable and uniform.

`16.Jul.2026` mithrendal	Web based Amiga Emulator: vAmigaWeb meets Coppenheimer mithrendal writes: "vAmigWeb has added a really cool feature: Memviewer, which uses color-coding to distinguish between the Blitter and the CPU. This way, you can see exactly which game or demo is doing what with the 'powerful' Blitter in memory, or whether it's 'just' being rendered using the CPU. How does one use it? Click 'Memviewer' in the menu icon bar. If you can't find the icon: on small screens, such as those on a smartphone, it's usually not visible and you'll need to enable it in the settings first. load a demo When you come across an interesting section at the very bottom of the 'Overview panel' under 'Found Bitplanes', click on a bitplane address, and the detail view will open, displaying the graphic where either the CPU (light gray) or the blitter (blue) is drawing... You can also switch to 'Single Step Mode' at the top (the button to the right of 'Overview'), which lets you view the entire sequence frame by frame... Alexander 'Losso' Grupe's Coppenheim served as a reference." (cg) [News message: 16. Jul. 2026, 23:54] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`16.Jul.2026` amiga-imager.de (ANF)	macOS: Amiga Imager 0.99, testers wanted Thomas Luebker's Amiga Imager creates boot images for classic Amigas, PiStorm/Emu68, or the MiSTer on Mac OS. Version 0.99 is the release candidate for the upcoming version 1.0: A feature freeze has been in effect since version 0.98, and this release focuses on bug fixes and fine-tuning - with one deliberate exception: new support for Apollo/Vampire turbo cards. The most important changes in version 0.99: Support for Apollo/Vampire cards (68080): SAGA-RTG boots directly into the correct screen mode; V4Net/V2ExpEth networking with Roadshow; the SD card slot is automatically mounted; the official Apollo Kickstart tools are included with the image (validated on a genuine Icedrake A1200) FreeWay-CP-USB cards receive their own dedicated drivers Significantly more reliable initial startup for Classic builds: The locale prompt and Dock now appear reliably; USB is configured once via Trident (as described in the manual) HDToolBox now points to the correct driver for UAE/Amiberry builds NewMeter colors that are readable on Classic RTG screens, corrected icon positions, AmiSSL compatibility fix. Optional package containing the prerequisites for the IMP3 chat client used by the German Amiga community All first-boot utilities on the generated images are now simple, readable AmigaDOS scripts—you can view everything that the build places on the Amiga yourself Completely rewritten manual (12 chapters, also available as a PDF) Amiga Imager 0.99 (Beta, Build 260715) requires macOS 14 or later and runs on Apple Silicon and Intel. Thomas Luebker writes: Feedback from testers is especially valuable right now - we're particularly interested in experiences with RTG cards (ZZ9000, P-Vision, VA2000, CyberVision, Picasso), network cards (PCMCIA, Zorro, Clockport, A314), USB cards (Subway, Highway, Algor, FreeWay), Vampire cards (V4 family and especially V2), all PiStorm variants, as well as UAE, Amiberry, and MiSTer setups. The following are helpful in this process: the computer and card, the ROM version, the selected configuration, and the build log that the app saves alongside the image. (cg) [News message: 16.
