New Commodore owners with new website and first products (update)
Two weeks ago, Youtuber Christian 'Perifractic' Simpson announced that an unnamed group of investors had taken over Commodore and that he would be the new CEO. Today, the "new" Commdore is advertising its first product in a short video: The "C64 Ultimate", available in three different editions, combines a breadbox case - presumably from RetroFuzion - with the FPGA-based C64 replica Ultimate 64 Elite-II and an unknown USB keyboard with a C64 look. The devices should be available from October or November, but interested parties can already order and pay for the devices now - which are limited to 10,000 or 6400 units, depending on the version.
A FAQ on the new website is intended to clarify some open questions, while the team section gives an overview over the people involved or working as consultants.
Update: (13.07.2025, 9:45, cg)
In the Free Edition of the new "Compute's Gazette", a very euphoric summary of the Commodore takeover, obviously written in close co-operation with Simpson, mentions a purchase price of USD 2.16 million.

Video: TheMiniCD32 as hobby project
In a video, 'Toolzzi Games' presents the current status of its self-developed "TheMiniCD32" project, a miniaturised version of the CD32. It is based on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a self-written start interface. PUAE is used as the emulator because, as the developer explains, it processes games with CDDA audio much better. Once all the development work has been completed, it is planned to offer the project as a self-assembly kit.

Emulator hardware: Update 46.1.1151 for A1200NG and A600GS
Another software update has been released for AmigaKit's A600GS emulator platform and the ARM-based A1200NG motherboard. It is available for download to registered AmiSphere customers and includes the following changes:
- Upgrade PlayVideo to 46.7 Avoids using NewMinList() as this is version 50 or above only. Now put up information requester if start without avcodec backend present.
- Integrate latest builds of PeterKs icon.library for enhanced PNG datatype loading and other bugs fixes.
- Zune: fix up behaviour of MUIV_Window_Width_MinMax()
- Zune: Fix incorrect parsing of underscores in escape sequences resulting in the incorrect shortcut key in SimpleButtons and else where.
- Zune: Fix duplicate GoActive methods sent to already active objects
- Upgrade to Assign 46.11
- Update to UnArchiver 46.4 29/06/2025
- Update filesysbox.library to 54.7
- Update smbfs handler to 53.10
- Checking of license keys for add-on functionality like the CPU Boost product now takes place immediately after the first login after registration, so no longer requires autologin to be enabled.
Amigakit reccomends to disable the auto install of avcodec on startup: most users seem to upgrade with ease, but a few are having issues resulting in an update loop. To install avcodec suite manually, go to the advanced update section and choose it from the list.
