SCALA-MM game conversion: The Angel of Death 1.0
At the end of November, 'Quantum Code Monk' released a first pre-release version of its Scala MM game conversion "The Angel of Death" for AmiGameJam 2024, which is based on Police Quest: In Pursuit Of The Death Angel, a game released by Sierra in 1987. As Jessie Bains, you try to take control of the drug trade in the town of Lytton.

The graphics have been reworked and are heavily inspired by the original game. A few side quests, a points management system and a very simple luck mini-game have also been added.

AmigaOS 3.x as well as Scala or the Scala Player are required. Also 4 MB RAM and a minimum resolution of 640x512. (dr)

Emulator: Mame106Minimix 1.3
The Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) emulates numerous arcade machines. After conversions for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 as well as various, mostly older 68k ports, there has been another project for AmigaOS 3.1 since last year with Mame106Minimix, which however requires a very fast computer (68060 processor with 64 MB or actually designed for PiStorm extensions).

The port of MAME version 0.106, which dates back to 2006, is now available in version 1.3 and offers further corrections regarding the AGA and OCS native modes and the emulation of various games. (snx)

New PPC hardware announced: "Mirari" featuring USB3, NVME, FPGA (Update 3)
Dave "Skateman" Koelman presented a new PPC motherboard developed by Harald 'Geennaam' Kanning in the "Hardware" channel of the Amigans Discord server. Some time later, Kanning himself started posting in our comments section and supplied a pretty extensive overview over the project:

The full specifications of the current design look like this:
  • Form Factor: micro-ATX compatible, 244x170mm (L x W)
  • T10x2 (2-4 e5500 cores) up to 1.5GHz / T2081 (4 dual-threaded e6500 cores with Altivec 2.0) up to 1.8GHz
  • DDR3L (1.35V) SODIMM with rank interleaving (T10x2 up to DDR1600; T2081 up to DDR2133)
  • PCIe x16 slot with 4 lanes occupied (PCIe 2.0)
  • PCIe x4 slot with one lane occupied (T10x2 PCIe 2.0; T2081 PCIe 3.0)
  • PCIe x1 slot with one lane occupied (PCIe 2.0)
  • 2x SATA 2.0 (T10x2 only, at 300Mbit/s)
  • 2x NVMe slots (second slot mutually exclusive with second SATA port)
  • 8 USB 2.0 ports (4 connected to the rear I/O; 4 connected to internal USB 2.0 headers)
  • 4 USB 3.2 Gen1 ports (2 connected to the rear I/O; 2 connected to an internal USB 3.0 header)
  • 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet
  • 192kHz/24bit analog audio (mic, line-in, line-out to the rear I/O; mic, headphone to the HD audio connector)
  • S/PDIF / Toslink digital audio out
  • 9-pin RS232 to the rear I/O
  • Micro SD card (push-in push-out) as boot source
  • 24-pin ATX power connector
  • 4-pin ATX CPU power connector
  • CPU fan header with PWM
  • Case fan header
  • TRION FPGA

Background and Mission

The Mirari board is designed with the intention to provide the Amiga community with low-cost PowerPC hardware. Therefore, the design is based on a bare minimum with nice-to-haves based on what makes sense, but always with the mission in mind. Due to the minor cost difference between a dual-core T1022 and the quad-core T1042, we've decided on the T1042, resulting in a low-cost board with mid-range specifications.

The T10x2 is based on the e5500 core, the same core found in the X5000. Initial benchmarks confirm that the single-core performance difference is just the clock difference, with a 1.4 GHz T1042 performing at 70% of the 2GHz X5020. The design also accommodates the pin and footprint-compatible T2081, allowing for a mid-cost board with high-end specifications. To ensure compatibility, we had to make some compromises to the T10x2 design.

Memory Support

The T10x2 memory controller supports both 64-bit DDR3L and DDR4 at 800 MHz (DDR1600). The T2081 memory controller supports both 64-bit DDR3L at 933MHz (DDR1866) and DDR3 at 1066MHz (DDR2133). The common denominator is DDR3L, hence the choice for a 1.35V SODIMM slot.

If we had focused solely on the T1042, DDR4 would have been the better choice from an availability standpoint. However, since the clock speed is the same but latencies are larger for DDR4, the overall memory performance would have been lower.

For the T2081 we can increase the memory controller voltage to 1.5V which would enable the DDR2133 interface speed.

Although we have only one memory controller, initial Linux benchmarks show that the single and SMT memory performance is at least on par with the X5020.

Audio

For longevity reasons, we've decided to use an industrial-grade audio codec from TI (TLV320AIC3204). This codec is routed to three audio jacks at the rear (mic, line-in, line-out) and to an onboard HD audio connector. Additionally, there's a digital optical output (Toslink). The T1042 features an I2S interface for direct connection to external audio codecs, while the T208x does not. Therefore, we've implemented the I2S and S/PDIF controllers in the FPGA. This means there's no audio driver readily available for Linux. For OS4 and MorphOS, I have experience writing AHI drivers, so consider this covered.

Storage

The mainboard features two SATA ports and two NVMe slots. However, we had to make some tough choices again:

For the T1042 variant, there's always one SATA port and one NVMe slot available. The second SATA/NVMe is mutually exclusive, currently jumper-based but eventually u-boot configurable.

The T2081 does not have SATA interfaces. If you need SATA, it must be added with a PCIe card. However, keep in mind that SATA is being phased out, with modern PCs and laptops often using NVMe over SATA SSDs.

Tested Linux distributions are all booting and running from NVMe. I also have experience with NVMe drivers, so consider this covered for OS4 and MorphOS as well.

USB3: We based u-boot on the latest stable version available earlier this year, 2024.10. This has many benefits over using the 2014-2018 versions available in other PowerPC hardware. However, the developers behind u-boot changed the driver model around 2018, with a transition period ending in 2020. This means u-boot is a mixture of old drivers and drivers compliant with the new model. For USB on NXP SoC, there's a catch: NXP didn't rewrite their OHCI and EHCI drivers for the new model. Activating the XHCI driver for USB3 support causes conflicts. Fortunately, this is not an issue under Linux, so USB3 works correctly, but we have work to do for u-boot.

Prototypes

We have ordered 5 prototypes and managed to make them all work (100% yield). This was a great concern to me personally, as the layout requirements for the 780 balls FPGA stretched our supplier's capabilities to its limits. The boards run stably and have undergone hours of burn-in testing with Linux stress testing tools. One observation is that the CPUs run around 30°C idle and around 40°C under full load, which is good for overclocking potential. The core power supply has quite some headroom to support this. You can check out the Hyperion Entertainment X5000 Linux-only forum for posts from Skateman. Whenever he talks about his 4-core e5500, he is actually talking about this board.

Update: (30.04.2025, 23:20, cg)

The hardware designer made some additional statements in a Discord channel only accessible to registered users (Official Commodore Amiga, #next-gen):
  • "Board is fully functional. So runs all available PPC Linux distro's (including the latest Chimera). This one is T1042 based for cost reasons. So 4x e5500 cores. But the board is fully compatible with the 8 threaded e6500 based T2081. Other things to highlight are 2x NVMe (Linux boots and runs from NVMe) and USB3.2 Gen1".
  • "Target for the T1042 based version is to be the lowest cost mainboard PPC board on sale."
  • "Target is to run both OS4 and MorphOS. But this is not up to us of course. We can do so much what we can control. And that is the hardware including u-boot. If those in control of OS4 ultimately do not want to cooperate than at least we had the fun. And proved that low cost PPC hardware is possible."
  • "The T1042 supports either 1.35V DDR3L or DDR4. The T2081 supports either 1.5V DDR3 or 1.35V DDR3L. Hence the choice for a 1.35V sodimm. For the T2081 I could opt for 1.5V DDR3. Then it can be clocked up to DDR-2133"
Update 2: (01.05.2025, 13:15, cg):

Board designer Harald 'Geennaam' Kanning has posted an extensive description of the project in our comments section.

Update 3: (01.05.2025, 15:39, cg):

Restructured the entire news item, to present all information available so far in an easier to digest format. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Worth a read: Thomas Rattigan, short-lived Commodore CEO
American journalist and author David L. Farquhar regularly writes about computer and IT history on his website "The Silicon Underground". In a recent article, he outlines the short but eventful tenure of Thomas Rattigan as CEO of Commodore. Rattigan was lured away from Pepsi to Commodore in 1985 and initially took on the role of COO. He is credited with initiating the successful A500 and A2000 models and returning the company to profitability.

On 23 April 1987, just over a year after being appointed CEO of Commodore (on 1 April 1986), Thomas Rattigan had his abrupt end at Commodore – he was dismissed by Irving Gould and escorted out of the building by security guards without being given the opportunity to take any personal belongings with him.

Farquhar recounts the background to this spectacular episode in Commodore's company history and shows how Rattigan ended up having the last laugh. (nba)

Games That Weren't


Amiga Games That Weren't: Alien Olympics
Alien Olympics was a sports game planned by Mindscape for 1994 for the Amiga (OCS, 1 MB) and the CD32. Although it was never released, the website "Games That Weren't" has now discovered an early version of the game that is about 30% complete and made it runnable. The game, which was converted to Amiga by Mark Greenshields, is reminiscent of Track & Field, but with eight unique alien characters and humorous disciplines. (nba)

Video: Assembling an FPGA "Amiga 1200" using only new components
In the video at the title link, 'Proteque-CBN' assembles an Amiga 1200 replacement using only new components, from the case to the internals.
