Pong variant: Press Fire PONG for Amiga 500
As developer Alberto '(4)Seasons' Sgaggero writes, "Press Fire PONG" (video) for the Amiga 500 is not just another Pong clone, but a "reimagined arcade experience with unique gameplay mechanics and dynamic visual effects".
Unlike traditional Pong, in this version the paddle is moved upwards by holding down the fire button and downwards by releasing it. This is intended to make the game more exciting. In addition, the screen does not remain static, but moves. In addition, the ball reverses its trajectory when it bounces off grey edges and disappears, only to reappear on the opposite side when it bounces off dark grey edges.
It is possible to compete against the Amiga or against a friend. A solo endurance mode is also available. The game is written in AMOS. (dr)

Modular multi-platform emulator: RetroArch for AmigaOS 3
Steffen Häuser writes: "Following AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and WarpOS, there is now also a port of the RetroArch emulator system for AmigaOS 3.
Some of the cores are very power-hungry and require a PiStorm with Pi4 or similar to run well, while others also run on slower hardware. Give it a try!
If you don't know what RetroArch is yet, this video (which is not showing the 68k version) shows all emulated systems." (cg)

Event: AmiWest 2025 in Sacramento, USA (1./2. November)
Press release: "Starting on November 1st, join the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club in celebrating 40 years of Amiga Computing at AmiWest. AmiWest is the premier North American Amiga show, operating continuously since 1998.
In 2025, given the significant global events surrounding the AMIGA/40th anniversary in Silicon Valley and the Amiga 40th anniversary in Germany, the AmiWest show is expected to be a more laid-back event. We will focus on the community aspect of AmiWest, with an emphasis on exhibitors and attendees. Expect the usual major features: the raffle, live stream, game competition, and Saturday night banquet.
We have also been contacted by Carl Sassenrath, who is preparing a special presentation on the history of the Amiga to deliver at the show. Thank you, Carl!
New for this year, the banquet will be held off-site at a local burgers and brews location, providing attendees with a new experience. In place of a featured banquet speaker, we will let the attendees tell their own stories. It will be an opportunity to learn about the impact of the past 40 years of Amiga Computers on the lives of others and share your own experiences.
Registrations are now open for the hotel and the banquet, so please submit your registrations promptly to ensure adequate planning." (snx)

vAmigaWeb: Information for Safari users
The Amiga emulator for web browsers vAmigaWeb is currently not working with Apple's Safari browser: Its version 26.0 interrupts the faster and more efficient native WASM exceptions used for emulation, which is why a slower Javascript exception implementation has been used for the time being.
Those affected must therefore open a private Safari tab and add the app to the dock or (on iPadOS) to the home screen again. The developers assume that once Apple has fixed the bug in Safari, the previously faulty vAmigaWeb apps will work again and access to stored snapshot and workspace data will be possible once more.

Apollo-Team: Sale of additional A6000 announced
Press release: Hello Apollo Vampires, thank you all for your patience. As promised we have finally some news about the roadmap for the Apollo A6000:
The introduction of the A6000 with the 40 "First Edition" units was a great success and very quickly sold out. Currently we are very focussed on delivering these first 40 units in high quality state to the early birds on Amiga40 event (pick-up or shipment).
Meanwhile we have been looking into our production possibilities for a second batch and I am glad to announce that we will be able to offer another batch of 40 units for on-line sale and 20 units to be sold "live" on Amiga40 event.
The on-line sales order process (a6000.net) for the 40 "Second Edition" units will start on the Monday 13th October 10:00 Central European Time (CET). All ordered units will be delivered by international shipping before 30th November 2025.
The pricing and configuration options will be the same as the first edition units, except that we have added a 5th color scheme to choose from: Commodore "cream-white with black bars".
For Apollo fans visiting the Amiga40 Event there will be 20 units available for direct sale (first come, first serve) at the Apollo stand. (dr)

ReAction GUI for XAD: Avalanche 3.1 for AmigaOS 3 and 4
Chris Young's Avalanche is a ReAction-based graphical user interface for the unarchiving system XAD, which also supports the xfdmaster.library and can search for viruses using the xvs.library. Since version 2.1, simple editing of LhA/Zip archives also is possible (Zip requires zip.library - only under AmigaOS 4). The developer has written his tool explicitly for AmigaOS 3.2.1, but has also tested it under AmigaOS 4. Changes of version 3.1:
- Extraction, listing and config now run in separate processes
- This keeps other Avalanche windows responsive
- Update window also has own process under OS4
- Add ability to open destination drawer after extraction
- Also added button to open destination manually
- Rewrite of update checker
- Added GUI
- Can download and extract all related components
- Shows version numbers of installed libraries
Due to an bug in version 2.5, it is not possible to download an updated version. This has been fixed in version 3.1.

DIY: Connecting USB keyboards with STALKER
The STALKER adapter card by Gianluca Renzi enables USB-HID keyboards to be connected to the Amiga 1000, Amiga 2000/3000, Amiga 4000/CD32, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200 and Amiga 600 and is based on a 32-bit STM32 microcontroller.
The STALKER offers a built-in USB stack that enables support for USB HID keyboards without the need to install additional AmigaOS software drivers. The entire installation process boils down to connecting a STALKER adapter and plug to the keyboard port of the Amiga 1000, 2000 or 4000 externally, or internally in any other Amiga computer.
Another feature of the adapter is its "bootloader" function, which enables future firmware upgrades. The STALKER comes with special firmware, but any firmware version can be installed without any problems, as it is an open source project. Features:
- supports for both USB HID, wireless adapters and USB-PS/2 keyboards,
- Amiga 1000, 2000/3000, Amiga 4000/CD32, Amiga 1200, Amiga 600 and Amiga 500 compatibility,
- built-in USB stack with HID Keyboard firmware driver
- "Bootloader" function allowing future firmware upgrades,
- "Status" indicator LED providing information about device's state,
- built around 32-bit STM32 microcontroller utilizing latest technology,
- non-blocking keyboard.
Hardware documentation for DIY construction is available for the internal versions of the A1200, A500 and A600, as well as for the external stand-alone version.
Two days ago, version 1.5 of the USB keyboard driver and version 0.3 of the bootloader were released. (dr)

QEMU frontend for starting AmigaOS 4/MorphOS/AROS: Kyvos 1.5.0
George Sokianos' QEMU frontend Kyvos, which is designed to significantly simplify the setup and launch of AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS under QEMU, is now available in version 1.5.0, which includes the following improvements:
- option to enable "zoom to fit" and "zoom interpolation" for MacOS Linux (GTK), which has to do with the way that the window content is scaled. The options are enabled only when the necessary renderer is selected, and other options as well. They can be found under the Display tab.
- a new tab called Notes, where a free text field is available for users to save whatever they want.
- bug fix: a Pegasos 2 system running AmigaOS 4.1 FE didn't start properly on systems where the HOME folder contains spaces.

Event: Program schedule for Amiga40 (Germany)
Press release (translation): "The program schedule for Amiga40 was officially published today on amigaevent.de!
Saturday will start with high-profile presentations and interviews with our guests of honor, including Dale Luck, Jeff Bruette, and Jürgen Göldner. In the afternoon, we will focus entirely on the classic game "The Settlers II", which will finally be released in an Amiga version at Amiga40 - only 29 years late!
We were able to recruit several members of the original development team, including project manager Thomas Häuser. They will not only provide exciting insights, but also sign purchased copies of the game on site.
Sunday traditionally belongs to the exhibitors: For example, the PiStorm team, individual computers, the MorphOS team and the Mirari team will report on current developments and take a look into the future together with visitors.
Another special highlight on both days is Christian Spanik's appearance with a live episode of "Digisaurier". He will take you on a journey back in time to the era when the Amiga was in stores and shook up the computer world.
This year, Bill 'AmigaBill' Winters, who is well known to many of you through his entertaining and informative YouTube channel, will open Amiga40.
All stage presentations will take place in the foyer, where there are around 150 seats available for visitors to sit and listen. The winners of the Community Award will also be announced there on Saturday at around 5:45 p.m.
We are delighted to be able to offer you such an extensive and varied program for our 40th anniversary - and wish all visitors two unforgettable days full of nostalgia, new developments, and Amiga spirit!" (snx)

Do it yourself: CDTV infrared converter for joysticks
The Amiga CDTV Brick allows two players to use their standard Amiga joysticks on the CDTV, just like the corresponding prototype from Commodore, without having to purchase a CD1200-Trackball (manual), which has become expensive on the second-hand market meanwhile. To do this, a Raspberry Pi Pico converts the joystick signals into corresponding infrared signals. (snx)

Video documentary: Dragon's Lair on the Amiga
The new video "Dragon's Lair on the Amiga - How a laserdisc game fit onto 6 floppy disks" at Modern Vintage Gamer takes an in-depth look at the technology behind the Amiga version of Dragon's Lair: How could a game that originally ran on a laserdisc with animated film sequences be compressed so that it fit onto just six 3.5" floppy disks?
The video highlights both the original method of working with real laser discs in an arcade setup and the difficult adaptation process for home computer hardware at that time. It explains in detail how graphics and videos were heavily compressed, what tricks were necessary for data management, and what restrictions developers had to make to get Don Bluth's masterpiece to run on the Amiga without completely losing the illusion of the original.

Amiga emulator for macOS: vAmiga 4.4b2 (update)
Dirk Hoffmann has released version 4.4b1 of his Amiga emulator "vAmiga" for macOS. In this new version the Preferences window has received a visual overhaul, and the built-in screen recording has been removed in favor of RetroVisor.
Additionally two bugs were fixed: the large toolbar icon issue introduced in version 4.3.2 on macOS Tahoe has been resolved, and the CPU property "irqMode" has not been saved in snapshots in earlier versions.
The developer adds that vAmiga has not been thoroughly tested on macOS Tahoe. The officially supported OS is Sequoia. While it may run on Tahoe, compatibility is not guaranteed.
Update: (06:57, 26.09.25, dr)
Version 4.4b2 is now available. Enhancements:
- Combined preferences and VR configuration into a single unified settings dialog.
- Introduced an onboarding agent that launches when no ROM is installed.
- Added fingerprints for Hyperion 3.2.3 ROMs.

New sound tool: FxBox 1.13
Since August - and still somewhat under the radar - a new sound tool for 68k Amigas running AmigaOS 1.3 or higher has been available. It is a real-time multi-loop processor and editor developed with AMOS BASIC.
FxBox imports various file formats, supports AMOS sample banks, and allows mono, stereo, quad, and 4-channel multitrack editing. According to the developer, real-time editing during playback is even possible on accelerated machines.
The tool requires at least 1 MB of RAM and was compiled with AMOS Professional 365. The latest version available is Version 1.13, which has been published last week. (nba)

Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format (amiga-news.de reported). The library is currently being developed under the responsibility of Tomasz Wolak. Changes in version 0.10.5:
- fixed opening small (smaller than floppies) HDF files
- added a new function for getting entry using sector number
- adfinfo: allow inspecting entries deeper in the directory tree, added showing info about links
- adfls: a new utility for showing volume contents
- some internal improvements (ie. refactoring, more tests)
