AROS: Gigalomania 0.25
Mark Harman has ported Gigalomania to AROS/x86. This game is an imitation of the Amiga classic Mega lo Mania. It is still in development and has over 28 different maps.
The AROS-version requires a high stack but the default value of the Shell with 1024000 should be sufficient.

FS-UAE: Game database for FS-UAE-Launcher, Game-launcher in progress
Frode Solheim is developing a game database which will complete his Amiga emulator FS-UAE. The database can be accessed under fengestad.no/games/ and users can add additional information, screenshots snd box-scans. The download section of Solheim's is already offering "development" versions of FS-UAE which can retrieve information from the database.
The games which are installed on your harddrive are recognized by its checksum and the corresponding information and pictures will be downloaded from the game database and the correct configuration options (chipset, CPU, memory...) will be chosen for the game. Additionally a new "Game Center" is in progress with which you will be able to browse existing games with a "cover-browsers" via joystick or joypad:
If you want to help adding new information to the game database or testing the functions, you can write a mail to fs-uae@fengestad.no to get an user-account. You can find further information in brief instruction written by Solheim.

MorphOS: Further status update on G5 porting
Almost one and a half monthes after his latest status update, Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen reports again about his G5 porting of MorphOS at the title link. Besides smaller tasks, now only sound support remains to be implemented. While the bounty deadline is officially set to be March 3, actual release depends on the time required for other team members' components for MorphOS 3.2 to be finished and the subsequent beta-testing, he says.

Individual Computers: Pictures and information on ACA 500 prototype (Update)
Last year Individual Computers announced their ACA 500, a simple expansion for the Amiga 500 whose claim to fame is the ability to connect accelerator boards from Indivudiual Computers that were originally developed for the Amiga 1200 (ACA 1231/1232).
Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers has now published some pictures of the current prototype and a short status report on a1k.org and posted the product specifications:
- 68EC000 with 14,3MHz
- external connection, A500 does not have to be opened
- Computer gets only 3cm wider
- two CF card slots: One for booting, the other for "exchanging data" with the PC
- 2 MByte RAM: 1,5M can be used, 512k reserved for Maprom
- Trapdoor memory extensions can be used
- Chipmem extensions can be used
- ROM for things which I will make public later
- Extension port for local hardware, will be documented (14MHz 16-Bit = twice Zorro-speed)
- Clockport
- Cover made of stainless steel (no completely closed cover)
- can be extended by ACA1231/ACA1232
Originally the ACA 500 was supposed to become an internal extension but according to Schönfeld he had to drop this approach. The Version seen on the pictures will be the form factor used in the final product, only a cover made of stainless steel will be added.
The manufacturer will only support the combination of ACA 500 and an in-house A1200 extension (ACA 12xx series, with the exception of the ACA 1230). Accelerator boards developed by different producers would be used at one's own risk. First tests indicate that the Blizzard boards produced by Phase 5 are not yet compatible with the ACA 500 but this problem may still be solved according to Schönfeld.
The current target price is about 80 Euro.
Update: (13.02.2013, 15:30, cg)
Now Jens Schönfeld presents a new approach, where the ACA 500 would be positioned flat instead of upright. Additionally, a solution for the Blizzard compatibility problem might have been found, even if it's still not clear if all issues have been solved already and how the solution will be integrated into the final product.

A600 accelerator board Fúria EC020: Pictures and Benchmarks (Update)
Two years ago, Boris 'Boboo' Krizma from Slovakia presented an Amiga 600 accelerator board that was based on the SEC000AA20 - a low cost variant of Motorola's MC68000. The sources and schematics for the design had been released back then aswell.
Now Krizma is working on a follow-up project called "Fúria ECF020" that has a 68EC020 CPU (over)clocked at 28 Mhz aswell as onboard FastRAM. The developer is regularly posting status updates to a czech forum. In January, fotos of the current prototype had been posted:
Now Krizma has published some screenshots that show various Benchmark tools running on a A600 equipped with a Fúria ECF020 (currently there are 4 MB FastRAM installed, but the final product will have more memory):
Update: (13.02.2013, 16:00, cg)
Added bigger versions of the pictures to the news item, thanks to Boris Krizma for providing them. The developer also
explains that this product will be commercially distributed and lists some more detailed specifications:
- MC68EC020FG25 @ 28MHz (overclocked), FPU MC68882 with same clock speed as CPU (may be switched ON/OFF)
- 8 MB Auto-Config FastRAM, 1,5 MB SlowRAM, 1,5 MB for other purposes
- Auto switch between 4MB / 8MB FastRAM (depending on the PCMCIA slot being in use or not)
- CPLD Xilinx XC95144XL

Sale of Indivision AGA Mk 2 temporarily stopped
At the end of April Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers) has started to deliver the second generation of the Flickerfixer "Indivision AGA" . But many users reported problems with the hardware - e.g. stripes or a completely black screen.
These compatibility problems could have been solved by a setup tool which was included in the previous version of the Indivison AGA Mk2. Such a tool currently does not exist for the Mk2 yet although highly requsted by many users. On the a1k-forum Jens Schönfeld explained that several, complex parameters had to be added to an user-interface.
Apparently Schönfeld temporarily stopped the sale of the Indivison Aga Mk2 four weeks ago.

AmigaOS 4: Jump'n Run Frogatto (alpha version)
The Jump'n Run Frogatto is a mix of an open-source engine with proprietary game data. For iOS and Blackberry a fee is required for the game, ports for desktop operating systems are available for free.
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel now has ported the game to AmigaOS 4. The author has invited everybody to carefully read the documentation: Probbaly it is still an alpha version which can have bugs. Frogatto requires the libboostyGfx.so library which was also developed by Nouvel. Due to a bug in Wazp3D, currently Warp3D is absolutely required.
According to Nouvel, Frogatto is right now his last OS4-port. The port has taken two months and in future he will neither have enough time nor motivation (he mentioned the very low feedback which he has got for all his previous projects) for similar projects.

Hollywood: APNG-Plugin
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and SAVE animations in the APNG format (animated portable network graphics). The great advantage of the APNG format is that it allows you to import and create animations that use alpha channel transparency. Neither the IFF ANIM nor the GIF ANIM formats support alpha channel transparency. Furthermore, APNG can also handle true colour frame data. A rival format to APNG is the MNG format but APNG support was chosen because more applications support it.
You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google Android are provided.

Python-Script: S3Cmd 1.1
S3Cmd is a script for AmigaOS 4 for Python 2.5 which makes it possible to access the Amazon-online-storage S3 via the Shell.
Since for MorphOS and AROS there are also current Python versions available it should also work with them. Please remove the included, precompiled .pyc-files before. Because for AmigaOS 3.x only an alpha version 2.4.6 is available this could cause some problems.

DVD-Covers for Amiga and CD32 games
Originally old games were often delivered in cardboard boxes. And if they are damaged or maybe lost, they can be replaced by DVD-sleeves or Universal Video Game Cases.
The cover inlays often are created by fans and users. One of those websites which offer such "replacement-covers" is thecoverproject.net - there are DVD-covers for 56 CD32-games as well as for 4 Amiga-games.

AROS: Icaros Desktop 1.5.1
Paolo Besser has released version 1.5.1 of his AROS-distribution Icaros Desktop. Now a new kernel is used which will provide more stability and fix the boot problems of some of the motherboards. The keyboard shortcut Control-Alt-Delete activates a cold start, and Control-lAros-rAROS a warm start.
Additionally the update includes the game Ri-Li, the backup tool BackupCopy and updates of several components of the Distribution.
Hint:
Originally Icaros 1.5.1 was delivered with a buggy version of the FAT-handler which could destroy the filesystems on FAT12-/FAT16 media. If you have already installed the update then check if the new version was installed: You can recognize it by looking at the name of the download archive. The name of the new version was completed by an"-1": "IcarosLive_1_5_1-1.7z.exe" instead of " IcarosLive_1_5_1.7z.exe".

Real AmiKit: Distribution for AGA-Amigas (beta version)
The well-known distribution AmiKit for users of emulators now was reworked so it can be also used on real Amigas which is called "Real AmiKit".
The original AmigaOS files and Kickstart-ROM of the AGA-chipset and at least 16 MB RAM are required. An accelerator board is highly recommended. Owners of an Apollo-board should use the RemApollo-patch.

USB: New edition of Thylacine canceled
In October all documents on the Zorro 2 plug-in card Thylacine were released which made it possible to recreate the low-cost USB-controller. Users on a1k.org expressed the wish to have the original design reworked and then sold the construction kit at cost price.
Actually during the first eight weeks several revisions of a reworked layout have been presented which the could have been produced as prototypes. After more than one month of silence the initiator "crasbe" explained that he has canceled the project which was called "Nova-Thylacine".
He has suspend the project in order to prevent "screwing up anybodies business". A commercial competing product which "is not or at least not much more" expensive than the Nova-Thylacine will be available "at the latest by the next quarter".
