Hollywood: GUI plugin RapaGUI 2.2
Press release: Airsoft Softwair is pleased to announce the immediate availability of RapaGUI 2.2. RapaGUI is one of the most popular Hollywood plugins as it can be used to create graphical user interfaces for a variety of systems (AmigaOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and even Android). RapaGUI always uses the native controls of the respective operating systems so that the GUIs do not feel like a foreign body. GUIs can be easily defined via XML files.
Version 2.2 contains mainly bug fixes, but also a few new features such as support for the arm64 platform of macOS. RapaGUI 2.2 is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. (cg)

AROS: Demo version of word processor Final Writer 7.1
Nine years after the initial announcements, the word processor Final Writer
is now receiving its first update since 1997: The new rights holder Timothy
"terminills" Deters is offering free demo versions for AROS-68K, AROS-x86-64
and AROS-x86 ABIv0 (registration required).
The most important new features in Final Writer 7.1 are:
- New , MySpell-based real-time spell checker, compatible with OpenOffice dictionaries, for example. This function is not available in the demo version.
- Native PDF export (libharu)
- AmigaOS compliant localization
- Printing via FTP/IPP
- Updated support for RTF
It is not yet clear when the full version of Final Writer 7.1 will be available. Deters has held out the prospect of ports for AmigaOS and MorphOS in the past, but has always emphasized that the AROS version should be completed first.

Platform game: Test version 5 of "Dr. Dangerous"
Inspired by the Amiga classic Rick Dangerous, hoogames has released another playable test version of "Dr Dangerous" (YouTube video), which was created with the Scorpion Engine (amiga-news.de reported). The new version 5 offers the following changes:
- Ladder bug fixed (you can no longer go through the walls)
- If you stand on the ladder you no longer die when you press the fire button
- Level 8 a few changes
- If you enter the level code and then complete a level and die, you stay in the level and don't have to repeat the previous level (it worked during testing)
- Layers deleted in some levels
- Fixed bug in level 5 (it's now easier to get over the platform - I played it all the way through and now there should be no more problems)
- Level 8-12 balance in the game changed
- Changed start screen level code to enter code (should be easier to understand now)
- Changed in-game music (not the final version and there will be more music tracks in the game)
- changed some codes
- Changed memory allocation of some enemies (more space in memory and hopefully less problems)
- New enemy added (bat)
- Added level 15 and 16
- Fixed some bugs
- If you find a level code you get an extra life - so look for them all and write down the codes ;)
This version has not yet been tested on a real Amiga, but only on an emulator. The developer asks you to report any errors. (dr)

Logic game: Untangle V0.5
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.
The developer has set itself the following goals:
- Game should be system friendly, working in a window on Workbench, using only documented APIs.
- Minimum system version is 3.0.
- RTG (graphic cards) should be supported out of the box. Without dedicated code paths and explicit opening of RTG libraries, if possible.
- Would be nice if it works on MorphOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS using M68k emulation built into these operating systems.
- Should be comfortably playable on stock A1200, stock A500 is not a Holy Grail, but why not.
The game is being developed on an Amiga 1200 with 68020 @ 28 MHz and 64 MB Fast RAM. It currently has over 100 levels, a highscore list and level selection. (dr)

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.19
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)
The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.19 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
- gw read/write/convert: New option --reverse
- Reverses track data (eg side B of a floppy disk)
- Windows 7/8: Fix device detection, broken since v1.18
- IPF: Auto-detect write splice when not reported in image
- New diskdefs: Epson QX-10, apple2.nofs.140
- gw info, update: Better error report when GitHub rate limited
- NFD: Initial import-only support for T98-Next floppy image files

Computer history: User manual for the Amiga 300
A user manual dated November 1991 for the computer designed as the Amiga 300 but ultimately named the Amiga 600 has appeared on Archive.org, contributed by Randell Jesup. Photos of this scanned manual can be seen on the Commodore International Historical Society page. This manual, entitled "Introducing the Amiga 300", provides an insight into the functions and compact design of the official successor to the Amiga 500. The sudden and secret renaming by Commodore's top management shortly before the market launch remains an interesting chapter in the history of the Amiga. The subject was taken up by ex-Commodore UK boss David Pleasance in his book "Commodore: The Inside Story" (30 untold stories about a computer giant) in the section "The Amiga 600 Debacle". (nba)

Fake company: Amiga Technologies UG registry has been deleted
Salvador Fernandez Gomez, a former employee in the support department at phase5, had made numerous entries of companies in recent years, including the registration of a large number of website domains and the registration of word marks such as Amiga Technologies or Kickstart, which were intended to suggest a claim to the rights of various current and former Amiga brands. After the "phase 5 digital products UG" registered by him has been deleted on November 4, 2022, the "Amiga Technologies UG", which was also founded by Salvador Fernandez Gomez, has been deleted on July 17, 2024. So far, the "Commodore Büromaschinen UG" and the "Concorde Media UG" remain, for which a deletion notice also exists. (nba)

Coding workshops: Amiga 500 programming at hardware level
Michael Martin shares detailed insights into his experimental programming projects for the Amiga 500 on his Bumbershoot Software Blog. Over the past few weeks, he has created a small, coherent series of practical courses in English. He explores advanced techniques of direct hardware programming and experiments with effects such as the Copper Bars.
In the first part of the blog series, Amiga 500: Drawing a Bitmap on the Bare Metal, Martin explains in precise detail how he can display a logo image directly on the Amiga hardware, bypassing higher-level libraries. The basics of the Copper are explained and a basic code for displaying the graphic is presented.
In Amiga 500: Mode Switching, Martin explores the use of the Copper chip in the Amiga 500 to achieve various display effects. He discusses how this technology enables dynamic changes in the video display that can manipulate the appearance of the screen in real time. The article goes into the technical details of setting up and manipulating the copper lists to switch display modes and enhance graphical output on the Amiga.
In Amiga 500: Alternate Graphics Memory Layouts, Michael Martin describes how he manipulated the graphics memory layout of the Amiga 500 to display more colors at the same time. He discusses technical adjustments and programming methods that make it possible to expand the initially limited color display and better utilize the Amiga 500's performance.
In Amiga 500: Completing The Display, Martin presents the implementation of an EGA palette display on the Amiga 500. He explains how he completed the hardware control to produce the desired display and considers this to be the preliminary end point of his work on graphics output, although he plans to explore further hardware functions.
In Amiga 500: Using Our Full Power, the aim is to fully utilize the power of the Amiga 500 by taking advantage of the capabilities of the blitter chip. Martin focuses on how the blitter, a specialized coprocessor for graphics operations, is used to accelerate graphics operations such as copying data blocks, which significantly increases the efficiency of certain program parts.
In Amiga 500: Bare-Metal Startup Code, Martin explains how to take full control of the computer. He uses the startup code from the book “Bare Metal Amiga Programming” by E. Th. van den Oosterkamp. This explains how to handle hardware interrupts and recognize key presses to gain deeper control over the system.
In the latest blog post, Amiga 500: Direct Keyboard Access, Martin discusses extending the code to display the EGA palette on the Amiga 500 to include the ability to control the program using keyboard inputs. He describes in detail the technical challenges and the necessary techniques required to implement this function, which goes beyond the previous mouse click controls.
The series provides a good insight into programming at the hardware level, with many practical examples and understandable explanations. (nba)

Classic remakes: Project X: Lightyears and X-OUT: Resurfaced
A small glimpse over the edge of the plate: the popular Amiga games "Project X" and "X-Out" are to be re-released in updated versions for current gaming platforms, with the help of renowned artists in the gaming industry.
"Project X: Lightyears" is to be a direct sequel to the classic shoot'em-up "Project X", which was developed and published by Team17 in 1992. The new edition will be musically accompanied by Allister Brimble, who is known for many soundtracks in the video game industry. The Kickstarter campaign to finance the project has already started.
X-Out, originally developed by Rainbow Arts for the Commodore 64 and also released for the Amiga in 1990, is also to be reissued, developed by ININ and Ziggurat (formerly Rainbow Arts): like the original, X-OUT: Resurfaced will be an underwater shoot'em-up, but with a completely new technical and gameplay design. The music will be provided by Chris Huelsbeck, graphics will be contributed by Ogan Kandemiroglu, who is continuing the visual legacy of his late brother Celal Kandemiroglu. In addition to the single-player mode, a local co-op mode for two players will also be offered.
"Project X: Lightyears" will be available on platforms such as PC and possibly other current consoles, while "X-OUT: Resurfaced" will be released for PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch. Both games promise to reinterpret the spirit of their predecessors with today's technological possibilities and appeal to both old fans and new players.
For more information on "Project X: Lightyears", please visit the Kickstarter page for the project. Details on "X-OUT: Resurfaced" are available on the ININ Games website. (nba)
