A-EON announces that A1222+ production is underway
In a joint press release (PDF), A-EON, ACube and AAA Technology announce that production of A1222+ motherboards is underway. Pre-orders for the A1222+ are "expected to open in the coming months", with shipments said to begin shortly afterwards. Customers who committed to A-EON’s 'Early Adopter' scheme will have first choice of refusal after which orders will be accepted on a first come first served basis.

According to the press release, A-EON is financing the design and production of the A1222+, while ACube has developed the final prototypes and will now manage the production and testing process. The Luxembourg based "AAA Technology", a joint venture between Amedia Computer France, AmigaKit Ltd. and A-EON Technology Ltd, will act as the main distributor for the product.

Note from staff: A year ago, A-EON confirmed that it no longer has a license to distribute AmigaOS 4 and that the X5000 motherboards on sale at the time were bundled with AmigaOS by a third party. The unnamed company mentioned in our old news item that was rumoured to be said third party was indeed AAA Technology. (cg)

AmigaOS 4: Script for adjusting Browservice usage by Odyssey
In order to be able to visit more modern websites on AmigaOS 4 with the Odyssey web browser, Browservice can be used (amiga-news.de reported). However, it happens that lateral scroll bars constantly appear and disappear again.

George Sokianos has now provided a Javascript file at the title link which solves this problem by generating the images supplied by Browservice a few pixels narrower so that the scroll bars do not appear at all. Before importing the file into Odyssey, one does only have to adjust the IP address in line 12 using a text editor. (snx)

Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.2
The "Scorpion Engine" by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.

New features in version 2023.2 include an optional sliced blitting mode for the Amiga, which greatly reduces the memory consumption of animations. (snx)

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.14
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)

The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.14 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
  • Windows 64-bit: Install correct 64-bit version of CAPS/SPS IPF library
  • Windows 32-bit: Install 32-bit versions of required MSVCR DLLs
  • Now require Python 3.8 or later
  • TD0: Support advanced compression blocks

Cameron 'Nightfox' Armstrong, who recently published AmigaGPT, offers SDKs of AmigaOS 3.2 NDK and AmigaOS 4.1 (V54.16) adapted to the GCC compiler based on Stefan 'Bebbo' Franke's Amiga GCC Development Kit. These contain additional adaptations of AmiSSL-SDK and the translator.library.
