Joystick repairs: Replacement PCB for the Competition Pro Mini
The "Competition Pro Mini" is a miniaturized version of the well-known Competition Pro joystick. Thanks to their small size, the micro switches used in these joysticks aren't really up to the mechanical stress they're put through while playing games - which is why many surviving Minis are only partially functional these days: Some of the directions or fire buttons are not working anymore.

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.16.1 (update)
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)

Video: Show report Amiga38 by Robosaurus Spielothek (German)
Dominic Ortmanns from Robosaurus Spielothek writes (translated from German): "I consider today's video to be a great moment in my work so far. On the one hand, this is due to the topic. After the relative success of my Amiga37 video, I didn't want to let myself down for the Amiga38 and pulled out all the stops. It has been a long time since I had so much fun making and editing a video.

Demoparty: TRSAC 2023 in Denmark
The probably last edition of the TRSAC demo party will take place from 20 to 22 October 2023 in Aarhus, Denmark. TRSAC is an acronym for "The Real Scene After Christmas". TRSAC was started in 2000 by a few friends from the demoscene who thought that demoparties were too much about games.
Among the various competitions is Oldskool, which is primarily reserved for the Amiga. On the timetable, one can find precise information about the different programme items.

Arcade classic: Bagman500
Jean-François Fabre ported his SDL-based clone of the arcade classic Bagman to the Amiga, which required SDL libraries and thus a graphics card. In late 2019, he released a real port that directly used the Amiga's chipset graphics (amiga-news.de reported), but required a 68020 processor and was "still slow," according to the author.
Now Bagman 500 was transcoded to 68000 and should run on any A500.

Pixelart: Designs for unreleased game "Conflict
Misja van Laatum had recently reported in a Mastodon article that he and a friend played a lot of Empire: Wargame Of The Century in the 90s and had then made the "half-hearted plan" to make it "bigger and better". Unfortunately, nothing came of that plan. Misja, however, still owns some of the graphics he had already started, which he released to us for publication upon request: Combat backgrounds, user interface designs, a title logo and some Sculpt-3D images for an intro sequence.
