AmigaOS 4: Tile-matching puzzle game 'Freegemas'
Based on the original by Jose Tomas Tocino, developer 'IamSONIC' has ported the tile-matching puzzle game Freegemas to AmigaOS 4, adding a low CPU mode (useful for ~800 MHz systems) and Tooltype support.


With the help of PatchCompositeTags the game runs under WinUAE without problems. (dr)

Hollywood plugin: Iconic 1.0 released

Press release:: In 2022 Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hollywood, the cross-platform multimedia application layer. To kick off the celebrations we are proud to present a brand-new plugin for Hollywood: Iconic. Iconic is the ultimate icon loader and saver plugin for Hollywood. It will make all your icon dreams come true because it can load and save icons in pretty much all of the most common icon formats. The following formats are currently supported:
  • AmigaOS 1.x style icons
  • AmigaOS 2.x/3.x style icons
  • AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 icons (aka GlowIcons)
  • AmigaOS 4.x Icons
  • macOS Icons (*.icns-Format)
  • MagicWB icons
  • MorphOS/PowerIcons icons (PNG)
  • NewIcons
  • Windows icons (*.ico-Format)
Of course, Iconic also supports loading and saving of the metadata found in the Amiga icon formats like tooltypes, icon position, drawer view mode, icon type and so on. Thanks to Hollywood 9's new support for palette images it is also possible to load the icon palette, set a transparent pen and access the raw palette pens used in the icon image data. Of course, Iconic doesn't only support palette-based icon images but also icons that contain true colour images with alpha channel. Several of the icon formats listed above also support palette and true colour images within the same icon file and several different icon sizes within the same icon file. All of this is supported by Iconic as well!

This is why Iconic is the ultimate icon plugin for Hollywood and a must-have for every Hollywood user. The plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (arm, ppc, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64), Android and iOS are provided. Note that Hollywood 9 is strictly required by Iconic.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hollywood we also offer a special 20 euros discount on the full version of Hollywood for a limited time only. This is the perfect chance for all people who don't own Hollywood yet to grab their own copy and to explore the wonderful world of Hollywood and be fascinated by the gigantic functionality of this unique piece of software and all of the plugins that come with it!

AROS: Update 6 of 68k distribution Aros Vision
Since our previous news-item, Olaf Schönweiß has updated his AROS/68k distribution Aros Vision two times. New are some Shell commands, GUIs for searching, splitting and joining files, extended support for packers, two additional window-related commodities, updated ROMs, a bugfixed reqtools.library, VirusZ III and a number of small improvements.

Furthermore there is a short description of the window options.

For first-time installation it is recommended to copy the libraries bullet.library and rexxsyslib.library from AmigaOS 3.1 to Libs: and the command rexxmast to C: and to use the Installer 43.3 by Amiga Technologies (Aminet) for installation. WHDLoad is pre-installed using AROS ROMs; for full support, you will need original Kickstart ROMs (description). (snx)
