Apollo cards: File sharing tool "ApolloExplorer" v1.1.2
ApolloExplorer is a simple file exchange programme that can be used to transfer files from a PC to an Amiga running an Apollo card and vice versa over the network. A server software runs in the background on the Amiga and allows a client running on a PC with Windows, Linux or MacOS to connect to the Amiga and browse the local hard drives. Changes in version 1.1.2:
  • Hopefully the Amiga server shouldn't crash anymore on any machines. Please let me know if it does for you.
  • The annoying bug on MacOS where the folder contents (not the folder) were copied when dragging a folder is fixed. Finally!
  • Fixes for the blinking drive icons
  • The browser window should remember the user's selection of list or icon mode

Game Construction Kit: Video tutorials for the Scorpion Engine
The Scorpion Engine is not only intended for developers, but - as Erik 'earok' Hogan, author of the Game Construction Kit, emphasises - for anyone who wants to create a game for the Amiga. With the Scorpion Engine, he is trying to realise a project that strikes a balance between user-friendliness, performance and flexibility. We therefore asked the developer to what extent video tutorials are available.

Just recently Erik was a guest on AmigaBill. The recording of the live stream available on YouTube shows in great detail how a very simple game can be created from scratch using the Scorpion Engine. Coincidentally, it uses the same Terybleknight artpack that was used in a Redpill game.

The video series launched in April 2022 in collaboration with Michael Parent from BitBeamCannon (amiga-news.de reported) was also continued: Making Games with Scorpion Engine has six parts.

Finally, please refer to the video tutorial on creating a vertically scrolling demo, which we also mention in our update messages. (dr)

Blog: Mingo's Commodore Page" becomes "Mingo's Commodore Blog"
Domingo has been running his "Mingo's Commodore Page" for almost two decades and has published numerous instructions, information and tips there. Now he has moved to Google's blogger service at a new address and has already published a new tutorial for Amiga users on data exchange between Amiga and PC via the serial interface (German).

The move had become necessary due to permanently rising costs with the previous provider, the enormous amount of time required for maintenance (which is no longer necessary with the new provider) and the code of the old website, which had become increasingly complex over the years and therefore more difficult to manage.

As Domingo tells us, the old manuals will be revised and gradually republished in the new blog. The focus of the blog is on tutorials, but there will be "reviews" of Commodore hardware and software, such as the one about the Amiga 1200 (German).

Unfortunately, however, not everything can be transferred 1:1 from a website to a blog, so it remains to be seen whether and what else will be on the blog. In any case, the current plan is to post a new entry at least every 10 to 14 days. (dr)

Motorola68k emulation: Emu68 v1.0 Release Candidate 3
Developer Michal Schulz has released Release Candidate 3 of version 1.0 of his Motorola68K emulation Emu68 for the ARM architecture, focusing on the PiStorm and PiStorm32lite (amiga-news.de reported). Emu68 1.0 Release Candidate 3 is the last release candidate before final version 1.0. It includes all fixes from RC1 and RC2. Additionally it contains several changes and fixes improving performance of old games and demos:

BlitWait

The BlitWait option allows the user to force Emu68 to do more fine-grained waits before writting several blitter-sensitive registers. Normally, the software which is using blitter should wait until it completed the operation, but in some cases the demo coders assumed that m68k is slow enough to not waist time for waiting. Such games and/or demos require the blitwait option activated either through cmdline.txt or with help of EmuControl to operate properly.

Ability to add EmuControl parameters to Emu68 globally

With this release user can pass the EmuControl command line options, like e.g. DBF ICNT=1 CCRD=0 directly to cmdline.txt file and thus making them global. This, in combination with eventually disabled CPU caches, allows one to run demos like the "State of the Art" directly from floppy, without WHDLoad.

RGB to HDMI Passthrough

This feature requires small external hardware (work in Progress or A500, A600, A1200, A2000) which sends the digital RGB data through the camera interface to raspberry directly. IN combination with new unicam.resource (embedded in kernel) and new VideoCore/Emu68-VC4 driver (available in new nightly build of Emu68-tools) this allows to display the RGB signal from Amiga on the HDMI. The unicam.resource allows one to enable this feature on boot already, new VideoCore driver allows one to easily switch between RGB and RTG modes on the same screen.

The developer provides more detailed information on the changes in his new Patreon post. (dr)

Preview video: Hyperborea (Resurrected) #3
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener is in the process of continuing "Hyperborea", a project started four years ago and interrupted in the meantime (YouTube videos) (amiga-news.de reported). Technically, the game is as good as finished. Changes of the third preview video:
  • fat laser shot: this is your secondary weapon. It's stronger than the spread-shot, but - guess what - doesn't spread. Also, your ship moves at half speed when this is fired. Very good to dodge dense bullet curtains. A double-click toggles between the two weapon types. Don't worry: your gun will still continue firing when you shortly lift your thumb for this action.
  • sprite priorities: in 2p mode the player / player-shot sprites' priorities are alternating each frame now. So in even frames all the stuff of player 1 is drawn on top of player 2 and in odd frames player 2 and its shots occlude player 1. This effectively results in both player-ships and -shots being visible all the time. Before this change player 1 and its shots always overpainted all the 2nd player's stuff.
  • a logo screen ;)
  • main menu (not fully functional as of yet)

Commotron (ANF)


Wireless Gamepad: Turbo 2000 Super V2
The Turbo 2000 Super gamepad from Commotron is wireless and has a fourth fire button for jumping (amiga-news.de reported). Now the manufacturer is showing a revised and, with a recommended retail price of 29.90 euros, cheaper version 2 of the pad on Facebook, which is said to have already arrived at the first dealers and is also available in two additional designs: Commodore Cream and Sinclair Spectrum.

The Turbo 2000 Super V2 offers an additional two-pin connector header on the dongle, so that one can solder a two wire cable into the computer or gaming console and connect two independent buttons to the dongle. For example one can connect buttons from Gotek Drive selectors, Reset button and Game-Select buttons, or turbo-module buttons to the dongle. With a new mapping selection one can trigger those two buttons wirelessly from the gamepad by pressing Fire 2 or 3 for one of the two pins. Pin 1 or Pin 2 on the header connector will deliver Ground (GND) signal when pressing Fire Button 2 or 3. (snx)

Diskmag: Last issue of Jurassic Pack released
Lars Sobiraj wrote: Today, after almost two years, the 20th and probably last issue of the Jurassic Pack was published (amiga-news.de reported). This demoscene discmag looks back on a long history. The pre-issue appeared 18.5 years ago at a French demo party called Gasp.

A few highlights: Interview with Peter Baustaedter, a scene graphic designer who managed to go from Austria to Hollywood with Arnold Schwarzenegger's help. He was involved in the creation of the films "Avatar", "Jumper", "The Fifth Element" and many more.

Interview with Amiga graphic artist Danny Geurtsen, who is also successful in the games and film industry. Geurtsen has worked on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Passengers", "The Martian", "Maleficent", "Gravity", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Underworld", "Space Odyssey" and "The Avengers", to name but a few.

Alexander Scheel transported the popular demo Odyssey from Alcatraz from 1991 into the present with the help of the ray tracing tool Blender.

However, there are numerous other items to discover in the Amiga version.

Obligement: Update of Amiga Games List
The Amiga Games List, a document created and maintained by David Brunet since April 1991, was updated on January 8, 2024 with the publication of its 54th edition. Among other new features and corrections, games published or updated in 2023 have been added (194), and games created in HyperBook and PowerD are now accounted for.

In addition, two new licences have been added: 'Hack' (which refers to games derived from other games or published illegally, for example without the consent of the original author), and "Sustainable Use License", a new open licence. In addition, where possible, the name of the publisher of public domain games (CAM, Spielekiste, itch.io...) has been added.

The total now stands at 14258 entries, including games, level editors, data disks, extensions and interpreters, distributed as follows:
  • 13521 games
  • 432 extensions and data disks
  • 154 game or level editors
  • 151 interpreters
For the record, the number of native AmigaOS 4 games has now passed the 1000 mark. (snx)

Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.5
The "Scorpion Engine" (video of development of vertical scroll demos) by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used. Changes of version 2023.5:
  • Animation editor has been updated to make it much easier to trigger custom events on frames, including audio, shooting other actors, setting direction and speed - as well as the ability to have numerous melee collision boxes on every frame.
  • "Intellibox" allows you to type in a number of code commands directly into the code tab.
  • Dynamic Patterns allows levels on Mega Drive to have massive tilesets.
  • Ability to freeze and unfreeze actors.
  • Many bug fixes and performance enhancements.
  • New game: Merry Xmas

HxC Floppy emulator: Software V2.15.2.3
The floppy emulator HxC by Jean-Francois Del Nero completely replaces the floppy drive (of an Amiga) with an electronic device. The project, which was launched in 2006, is available in two versions, with a SD card port or with USB port (amiga-news.de reported).

A new version of the HxC floppy emulator software has now been released. The changes:
  • New Applesauce WOZ file image loader.
  • Track viewer : Fix MFM sectors CRC values.
  • 2.15.1.2 Regression fix : Random crashes with HxC stream (Pauline) files fixed.
  • Some memory related fixes.
