Diskmag: Scene World #28 (Update)
Since 2001, 28 issues of the Commodore- and retro magazine "Scene World" have been published as well as 49 issues of the corresponding podcast. So far the magazine itself was only available as diskmag for the C64, but with issue 28 for the first time an Amiga port is available as well.

Scene World #28 provides information about meetings and parties, the fourth part of a "Let's Make a Game" tutorial including a game, an interview with Dennis Pauler (Amiga games developer) and David Pleasance (Commodore UK).

The magazine editors tell us that by now they can confirm the magazine engine also works on Amiga computers with an ECS chipset. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Hyperion added back to Belgium's company register
In October 2017 Hyperion was forcibly removed from Belgium's official company register (KBO, Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen) for failing to file annual reports for each fiscal year with the 'Central Balance Sheet Office' of the Belgian National Bank. Hyperion has now filed these missing reports, which means they're listed as a regular company again.

According to the reports now filed (PDF: 2015, 2016, 2017), Hyperion's main assets are unidentified "intangible assets" listed with a value of about 110.000 Euro in 2015. Due to write-downs of about 36.000 Euros in every fiscal year, this property will be valued slightly above 1000 Euros at the end of 2018.

The other side of the balance lists debts of nearly 600.000 Euro, of which about 90% are short term loans - "op ten hoogste één jaar", which translates to: "payable within a year". All three reports since Hyperion's temporary bankruptcy in February 2015 show a negative income.

Note from the staff:

The original versions of the PDF files linked above can be found at the Central Balance Sheet of the National Bank of Belgium by searching for company number 0466.380.552. As far as we can tell, these reports do not have to be verified by an independent entity. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Trevor Dickinson accusing Ben Hermans of criminal behaviour (Update)
In April 2009, a company called A-EON Technology was established in Belgium, to develop PPC hardware for AmigaOS 4. Trevor Dickinson, Anthony Moorley and Ben Hermans were named directors for the new entity. This incarnation of A-EON didn't last long though - a new company called A-EON Technology Ltd. located in Wales took over in Spring 2012 and has been responsible for the "AmigaOne X1000" and other A-EON products ever since. This change was never communicated or explained to the public.

Behind the scenes, rumours started circulating years ago that the Belgium based A-EON was dismantled because one of the partners stole large parts of the company's funds and tried to hide that fact from the other directors by sending them faked bank statements.

An audio recording that has now been released on Youtube, allegedly featuring Trevor Dickinson, seems to confirm at least parts of this rumour: In what sounds like a private conversation, the narrator - his voice is the only one recorded - relates the following:

"[…] Money dissappearing to Hyperion and to Ben Hermans […] I mean, at the very least, you could put him out of business – I mean, with his law firm – cause I got the copies of the stuff he sent… faxed to me […] He was denying, denying, denying – and then it turned on a meeting where we were saying: 'This is it – you either sign this. Or we‘re going to the police'. So, I mean… and so we went through a whole bunch of things: free license, free this, free that, access to this, use of that, no royalties... so we got all out of it."

Parts of the recording have been obviously cut out, these cuts are marked with "[…]" in the above transscript. People who want to verify if the recorded voice really is that of Trevor Dicksinson can find quite some Youtube videos featuring the A-EON investor - like this 2017 speech.

The recording was released to the public by Generation Amiga, a site that has a tendency to publish badly researched, exaggerated or plain wrong news items. But amiga-news.de can confirm that this is not the original source, apparently the site's administrator was less concerned about keeping this under wraps than other parties we know about that also had access to the file.

Notes from the staff:

Assuming the person making these statements is indeed Trevor Dickinson, he's clearly accusing Ben Hermans of criminal behaviour. While the actual details of Hermans' actions are not explained in the part of the recording that has now been made public, Dickinson's wording about "calling the police" or the notion that Hermans could lose his job or his licence for practicing law make this quite clear.

But at the same time, Dickinson is incriminating himself: The statement that Ben Hermans was forced to sign a contract that gives Dickinson and his partners free access to a lot of Hyperion's property and licenses basically equals an admission of blackmailing Mr. Hermans. Not to mention that this contract presumably would mostly hurt the company Hyperion - by obliterating most of their sources of income, for example - while Dickinson's description suggests that only the person Ben Hermans seems to be responsible for A-EON's problems.

Update: (11.08.2018, 14:00, cg)

Amiga Future has approached both Trevor Dickinson und Ben Hermans for statements. Both parties stress that A-EON is paying the full price for each copy of AmigaOS 4 it ships:

Trevor Dickinson: "A-EON Technology does have a worldwide sub-license granted by Hyperion Entertainment to use the AmigaOne name, AmigaOS name and Boing Ball on products it develops for AmigaOS4. However, A-EON Technology has to make significant payments to Hyperion Entertainment to port AmigaOS4 to the AmigaOne hardware it produces.

This includes payments for porting the kernel, writing any necessary drivers and/or other special utilities that may be required to make OS4 run on A-EON's AmigaOne hardware. As Matthew Leaman wrote on AmigaWorld net, A-EON Technology also pre-pays (in batches) the significant cost of full software licence to Hyperion Entertainment for its AmigaOne machines (X1000, X5000 and the A1222 beta).

Every AmigaOne machine A-EON ships has an AmigaOS4 software license pre-paid to Hyperion Entertainment at the full license price, not the special reduced sales price which Hyperion charged customers for the AmigaOS4 Final Edition release. A-EON is prevented from disclosing the full license price by the terms of its Agreements with Hyperion Entertainment but suffice to say it is far greater that the special one-off AmigaOS4 Final Edition sales price."

Ben Hermans: "That is true, A-EON does pay for licenses which we negotiated." (cg) (Translation: cg)

MorphOS: Test version of a Javascript JIT compiler for Odyssey
Mark 'bigfoot' Olsen released the test version of a PowerPC JIT compiler for Javascript to be used for Odyssey web browser. There is not much of a speed gain, though, since only the first level of the JIT is active for now. Instead the release is intended to test if there are any cases that do not work with the JIT while working without it. (snx)

Andy Warhol museum shows Amiga 1000 mockups
Following discovery of 28 then-unknown computer graphics by Andy Warhol on his Amiga floppy disks four years ago (amiga-news.de reported), The Andy Warhol Museum commissioned the design studio Iontank to create an interactive exhibition of these pictures.

At the title link there is a description how they just re-used the cases of Amiga 1000 computers and monitors, utilising emulation instead. (snx)

Hardware: Gayle reset fix for Amiga 1200
RastPort's KA21 is a hardware Gayle reset fix for Amiga 1200. Features:
  • Generates missing PCMCIA reset signal during reboot. It is needed by many PCMCIA cards to be detected by the system after reboot.
  • Pins for connecting optional reset button.
  • Pins for 2-way and 4-way clockport expanders. These devices need A15 (and A14 for 4-way units) signal, which is usually taken from Kickstart ROM by inserting additional socket. With KA21 these signals can be connected to two pins on the unit.
KA21 should be available from RastPort distributors at half of August. (snx)

Game: AIBOT
Press release: AIBOT is a test game of an educational game idea aimed at teaching coding principles to a player. It was made for Christiandevs Speedgame 2018 competition and received a honorable mention.

In AIBOT you are controlling a robot through coding its movement, mainly with an aim of getting to a certain location at a level. Completing a level will open up new levels and give money to buy more commands for your robot to use.

You can save your robot's code that you have created, or if you are stuck, you can even load pre-existing code to see how to beat the level. As it is in coding for real, so in this game too: there are multiple ways to reach the goal, and it is limited only upon player's imagination to figure out which exact way to complete them.

You can see a bit about the game from the video Apostolic Game Designers: Christian Speedgame Competition 2018 - 8 new games.

At start, AIBOT is available through Indiego Appstore. It will at later point also be uploaded to Aminet, but in effort to show support to Indiego Appstore, it is available from there for now. AIBOT is available to all main Amiga platforms (AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4, AROS, MorphOS) and also Windows.

Notice that this was made with Hollywood using power-heavy ways for graphics, so you need very powered-up machine to have a chance for this to work on Amiga computers. (snx)

WinUAE Homepage (ANF)


Emulator: WinUAE 4.0.1 released
Since yesterday, version 4.0.1 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE is available. Mainly fixing bugs, among other new features now also the Amiga 4000T turboboard Quikpak 4060 can be emulated.

4.0.0 bugs fixed:
  • Enabled “Minimize when focus is lost” option caused crash in some situations.
  • 64-bit FPU mode always changed back to 80-bit if config file was loaded.
  • 80-bit native FPU mode FREM and FMOD returned wrong results.
  • RTG statefile restore didn’t restore screen state completely.
Other bugs fixed:
  • “Minimize when focus is lost” incorrectly activated when switching modes in some situations.
  • “Minimize when focus is lost” minimized main emulation window when GUI was open and main window lost focus.
  • If CPU panel FPU mode select menu was active and then some other panel was opened: JIT was switched off.
  • CD audio play from real/virtual CD (not from directly mounted image file) didn’t restart correctly if audio settings changed.
  • Only some emulated SCSI controllers flashed CD led when emulating a CD drive.
  • input.keyboard_type was always read as Amiga keyboard. If PC layout was set as default, keyboard layout was read incorrectly from config file.
  • Amiga reset during active RTG rendering in RTG Multithread mode could have caused a crash.
  • RTG Multithread mode display refreshing was unreliable in 8-bit modes when palette changed.
  • Finally fixed corrupted drag and drop graphics in Harddrives and Disk Swapper panel.
  • When inserting previously connected USB input device, previous device type (Gamepad, CD32 pad etc) and autofire mode (if any) was not restored.
  • Clipboard sharing could have attempted to transfer data to Amiga side after program had taken over the system, possibly overwriting memory.
New features:
  • Environmental variables (%variable%) in paths are not anymore resolved immediately when config is loaded but only when needed without modifying original path, preserving original path if config file is saved again.
  • Added full statefile absolute/relative path support. Loading statefile will restore correct paths even if absolute/relative path mode was changed after saving the statefile.
  • D3D9 and D3D11 VSync mode (both lagless and standard) 100/120Hz support with optional black frame insertion.
  • 68060 FPU was not disabled after soft reset if 68060 was configured without emulated 68060 accelerator board, causing reset loop.
New emulated expansions:
  • QuikPak 4060

Video: MorphOS 3.11 on emulated computer
Under the title link, Luigi Burdo has published a video on YouTube of MorphOS 3.11 which under QEMU 3.0 (amiga-news.de reported) runs on a PC with AMD-Threadripper-1950X-processor.

The video does not show applications demanding high processing power but only the operating system itself: Utilities, little games, the web browser Odyssey, preferences and diverse screen savers. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Graphics board: Advance order of ZZ9000 (successor of VA2000)
The ZZ9000 is the successor of the FPGA-based and open source Zorro II/III compatible graphics board MNT VA2000 developed two years ago by Lukas F. Hartmann and now can be preordered.

The ZZ9000 combines a RTG graphics board, AGA scandoubler and network card equipped with two 666-MHz-ARM coprocessors for applications demanding high processing power like accelerated graphic rendering or JPEG and MP3 decoding. Besides, some of the improvements will also benefit the VA2000. The delivery is scheduled for the end of October. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood plugin: Polybios 1.0a
Press release: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen with Polybios 1.0a - the ultimate PDF tool for Hollywood. Thanks to the efforts of Stefan "Bebbo" Franke, who ported gcc 6.4 for the m68k platform, Polybios' PDF renderer is now also available for the m68k and m68k/m881 platforms. This finally provides OS3 users with a state-of-the-art PDF renderer as well! For optimal speed it is recommended to use the FPU version because Polybios' PDF renderer is quite heavy on floating point arithmetics.

Additionally, version 1.0a contains a bug fix in the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS versions of Polybios. No changes were made to the builds for all the other platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android) which is why the version number wasn't bumped to 1.1 but just uses 1.0a for the moment. Polybios is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS 4/MorphOS: Ask Me Up XXL 3.4
Jérôme 'Glames' Senay's Ask Me Up is a one to five player quiz game for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and Windows featuring 17000 questions in 17 categories. A demo version containing 80 questions is available for free.

In version 3.4 some questions were fixed ("People" and "Miscellaneous" themes) as well as some Italian and Portuguese comments which were not related to the right question. Sound effects can now be played also on A-EON Enhancer Software computers (requires at least sound.datatype 53.30). (snx) (Translation: dr)

Hollywood: APK Compiler 2.4 released
Press release: The Hollywood APK Compiler is now available in version 2.4. This version removes support for the armeabi architecture because it is no longer supported by the latest Android SDK. Note that you should not upgrade to this version unless you want to use the latest Android SDK. If you have a working installation of Hollywood APK Compiler, just keep it because this update is only here to make the Hollywood APK Compiler compatible with the latest Android SDK version.
