Video: The year 2038 problem hits the Amiga - but not until 2046 (German)
The world will end on January 19, 2038 - at least if relevant 32-bit systems are still using the "UNIX timestamp" format then to measure time by every second. Similar to the Bismarck quote about Mecklenburg, the end of the world will not take place on the Amiga until 2046, though. (More precisely, its time calculation ends on January 19, 2046 at 03:14:07, amiga-news.de reported.)
At the title link, Holger Ahrens takes up the topic on his info portal on the year 2038 problem. In the video, Dennis Pauler from the retro channel Virtual Dimension explains the reason for this - namely that the Amiga only starts counting time on January 1, 1978. But as soon as all the bits are used up, trouble can no longer be avoided: Anything from minor glitches to constant Guru Meditations could then happen. Due to the complexity, a permanent and comprehensive solution to the problem is not to be expected. (snx)

Video tutorial: Using the AMOS command "Get bob"
In another video in his series of tutorials on AMOS Pro, retro and Amiga fan 'Yawning Angel' shows how to use the Get bob command to grab images from AMOS screen to use as Bobs in a program. This is an alternative to using the Object Editor built into AMOS Pro. The source code for the program in this video is available for free on his website. (dr)

Amiga-MOD tracker in Javascript: Bassoontracker 0.5.0
Bassoontracker is a classic 4-channel MOD tracker written in Javascript and therefore runs under the title link directly in the web browser - including the possibility to load, edit and save existing MOD files (YouTube video of version 0.5.0).
The current version now supports playlists and favourites. You can create links for your favourite songs. And there are now also tooltips to make your work easier. Minor improvements to the user interface and the program round off the changes. (dr)

Program for DeepL use: AmiTranslate 0.4
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's program AmiTranslate (video) is an interface for the translation service DeepL with additional PDF and UTF-8 text storage and is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS.
The new version 0.4 contains a number of small but useful adjustments: if you previously pasted or copied texts using the right mouse button or a key combination, you can now also do this using buttons at the bottom of the window. Equally practical: the "Clear" button can be used to delete all texts in the windows. Finally, you can use the "Switch" button to swap the input and output language.
In addition to an SSL-secured Internet connection (OpenSSL3 on MorphOS or AmiSSL on the other systems), the programme also requires the MUI class texteditor.mcc. (dr)

Event: AmiWest 2024
This year's AmiWest in Sacramento will take place from October 25-27. As Bill 'tekmage' Borsari reports in the official event blog, there are almost 40 tables this year, and David Haynie, Trevor Dickinson, Bill Panagouleas and Doug Compton are named as well-known participants.
The main theme this year will be games. As a change compared to previous years, however, the developer conference “AmiWest DevCon” will no longer be held on site, but online due to the low number of participants, which is why the duration of the event has been shortened to three days. Speaking time is still available for any additional presentations, and tickets for the banquet can also still be purchased. (snx)

Emulator: QEMU 9.1.0 (update)
QEMU is an open-source computer emulator and virtualizer. The emulation of complete computers also makes it possible to run operating systems such as AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS under QEMU that are tailored to a quite specific hardware platform. This support is provided by QEMU developer Zoltan Balaton, who gives information about this on a dedicated website.
Changes in version 9.1 of QEMU seem to not include any refering to the emulation of Amiga systems, though.
Update: (21:20, 03.09.24, dr)
While we reported on the QEMU 9.1.0-rc4 version this morning, the final version 9.1 is now available. As always, a compiled version for Windows 64-bit is provided by Stefan Weil. (snx)

Logic game: Untangle v1.0
Grzegorz Kraszewski is in the process of writing the logic game Untangle for the Amiga. The player has a number of dots in front of him, which are connected by lines and cross each other. The aim of the game is to untangle the lines by moving the dots so that no line intersects another (amiga-news.de reported). He has now released version 1.0 with the following changes:
- New set of 150 levels.
- Game state is saved after each solved level and at exit.
- Windows positions and dimensions are remembered.
- Nice time display in the level selector.
- Short user manual in AmigaGuide format.
- A few bugs and one crash fixed.
The game runs in a Workbench window, a standard Amiga 1200 is sufficient.

Worth a read: Cosy Computing - On the soulful qualities of home computers
In the blog post "Cosy Computing - On the soulful qualities of home computers" on datagubbe.se, Swedish tech nerd and software developer Carl Svensson describes the homely atmosphere when using old home computers. He emphasizes the simpler technology and the absence of distractions that modern devices often bring. The article highlights how old computers, with their mechanical noises and the warmth of the hardware, convey a sense of coziness and security that modern devices do not offer. The text celebrates the nostalgic and relaxing experience of dealing with retro technology. You can read the full article at the title link. (nba)

Preview video: Amiga port of arcade classic Elevator Action in development
After Jean-François 'jotd' Fabre had collected all his previous arcade ports at the end of May and released them for the CD32, he is now working on an Amiga port of Galaga as well as a conversion of Taito's arcade classic Elevator Action: as an agent, you have to take the lift down from the 30th floor, avoiding numerous enemy attackers and opening certain doors (YouTube video of the C64 conversion).

Scala MM conversion: Adventure 2 Remake
In preparation for the AmiGameJam 2024, 'grindercowboy' has brought an old classic back to life: he has realised his second text adventure "Adventure 2" using Scala MM, a software for presentations, lectures and video captions.
His first version only ran under Scala MM400, after some adjustments the game now also works with the previous version Scala MM300 (Verion 50.3), as it was delivered with the Magic Pack of the Amiga 1200.

Amiga emulator: Amiberry 5.7.4 and 6.3.4
Amiberry is an Amiga emulator for ARM-based single-chip systems like the Raspberry Pi, the Odroid XU4 or the Tinkerboard from ASUS, which brings some newly developed features like a "WHDLoad-Booter" or support for controller configuration using RetroArch.
