Arcade conversions: Amidar500 and MsPacman 500, Preview video of Scramble 500
After his Pacman port released in September, Jean-François Fabre seems to have taken a liking to the conversion of old Aracde games: In the meantime, with Amidar500 (video) and MsPacman 500 (video) further Amiga versions of Pacman clones from the early eighties have been released.

Fabre's games are all available for free at itch.io, but it is possible to make a small donation to the developer before downloading. The Frenchman's current project is a port of the shoot'em-up classic Scramble, a preview video shows the current state of work.

Update: (24.02.22, 15:00, cg)

In the meantime, a new preview video of Scramble has been released. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Amiga Future (website) Do it yourself: Using PC floppy disk drives on Amiga with EZ-FD
Graham Thomson's EZ-FD is based on the same idea as Eyetech's EZ-DF0, which they used in their EZ-Tower cases for the Amiga 1200 to use standard PC floppy disk drives. At the title link he released the KiCAD files for the circuit board. (snx)

Amiga Future (Webseite) 8/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now. (snx)

Gotek-Retro RaSCSI: SCSI adapter for Raspberry Pi
In 2015, we reported about SCSI2SD, a SCSI adapter that allows SD cards to be used as SCSI hard drives. The firmware is still being maintained and the adapter is also still available, but it costs just under 90 Euros converted. As Gotek-Retro reports, there is also a solution for Raspberry Pi users: RaSCSI is a virtual SCSI device emulator that can emulate multiple SCSI devices at once. Likewise, there is a control interface to attach/detach drives on the fly, as well as insert and eject removable media. It works with a variety of Amiga models. The adapter is available for about 50 Euro for example at SamplerSpa or AmigaKit. (dr)
