Vampire 500: First pictures of FPGA-accelerator board for A500/A2000
Simo Koivukoski has published some first pictures of the Vampire accelerator board for A500/2000 at Google+. The board "will sit on place of your original CPU" or can be plugged into the CPU-slot of an Amiga 2000 using an adapter platine which is also delivered.
According to a short review from the CommVEX 2016 (Las Vegas), Jim Drew (ex Microcode Solutions, e.g. iFusion) is the "North American Rep" and presented a working Vampire 500 running, as he said, at 234 Mhz. He also said that "the Vampire 1200 would be released around Christmas".
Similar to the Vampire 600, the Vampire 500 provides a separate graphic chip, which under AmigaOS can be used as graphic board. The pricing has been set at 150 Euro. According to the official website, the board has the following features:
- 128MB FastRAM
- Digital video output
- Fast IDE-port
- SD-card for HDD storage
- 64 bit core, full 32 bit compatibility
- directly update core from Amiga without need for external programmer
- FPU and 16 bit audio is planned for future updates
Obviously the board can be only purchased from the Canadian "kipper2k". Concerning the Vampire 600, there were long waiting periods between the order and the delivery. Besides, the Canadian seemed to ignore inquiries via email up to this moment, when he could deliver the board to the customer. But obviously all ordered boards were delivered without any defects.

C64 remake: Raid Over Moscow (prototype)
A very early version of a remake of the C64 classic Raid over Moscow was released. Author 'earok' would finish developing the game if there is sufficient interest.
Still there are not any sound effects. Besides, not all scenes of the original game have been implemented. Currently a joystick or joypad with two buttons is required.

AmigaOS 4: Entwickler-X is working on a new video player "Emotion"
According to Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus in a comment on os4welt.de, Entwickler-X currently is working on a new, Reaction-based video player for AmigaOS 4. The project is called "Emotion" (video) and is supposed to be adapted to AmigaOS as much as possible, but also will concentrate on basic functions.
Emotion can scale via compositing or can use overlay on systems equipped with older graphic boards. For the codecs, parts of ffmpeg are used.
Entwickler-X started the project in April and it is not clear when he can finish it - currently ffmpeg is ported and converted into an Amiga library. Emotion will be commercially sold, the price will be about 20 Euro.

Arcade adventure: Interested in "boxed" edition of Enemy 2?
At Christmas 2013, the action adventure Enemy 2 - Missing In Action was released as freeware. Technically it is equal to its commercial prequel Enemy - Tempest Of Violence but offered new levels and brought the story to an ending.
The team behind "Missing In Action" is considering to release a boxed edition of the game, which obviously was inquired by collectors. For 19 Euro, including shipping (within Germany), this box would contain:
- Enemy 2 on two new DD disks
- Bilingual version; the English translation was provided by professional translators for 400 Euro
- a colourful game manual in size DIN A5, which describes the game structure and game controls
- Slip lid in the same format like "Enemy 1: Tempest of Violence" for folding
The boxed version would have to be paid in advance. At least 100 pre-orders are necessary for starting the production. If you are interested in this edition, then please send an eMail to the team.

- Gyroscope option for Vpad
- HD Support
- Kickstart Rom Selector
- Support for Cloanto Amiga Forever Roms and 256k Roms

Tennis simulation: Center Court 2 (AGA)
Twenty years ago, Gernot Fritsche was working on a sequel to his commercially distributed tennis simulation Center Court which was written in Blitz Basic - but he lost interest in the Amiga before the project was completed.
The source could now be rescued from the author's mostly broken harddisk, Fritsche added a title picture and the missing parts of the English translation using WinUAE. Center Court 2 requires an AGA Amiga, it was initially developed on a A1200 with 4 MB Fast RAM, recent builds were only tested on a similar WinUAE configuration though. (cg)

Elbox: pci.library 11.0
At the title link Elbox released an update of their pci.library for the Mediator PCI bus-board. Version 11.0 includes a new procedure for allocation of PCI memory, which accelerates the boot process when multi-device PCI cards are used (e.g. USB controller Spider).
The new pci.library allows to re-allocate (free and allocate) PCI spaces from the driver for the specific PCI card. This is useful in case of PCI cards that do not report their PCI spaces typically (e.g. some PCI processor bridges). (snx)

Quick review: Arcade joysticks with Sanwa parts
A few months ago, the ArcadeForge shop startet offering Joysticks with a Atari/Commodore compatible connector that are built from high-quality Arcade parts manufactured by Sanwa and come with a case design that somewhat resembles a Competition Pro.The cases for these input devices, which are sold at 75 Euro, are made of wood, acryl and aluminum.
In the German forum on OpenHandhelds.org, a customer posted
Im Forum von OpenHandhelds.org a quick review of the device. His photos clearly show several sharp edges and the individual parts of the case have been assembled with not enough care, apparently. The user also complains about the vendor's reaction to his objections regarding the product quality. (cg) (Translation: cg)

AmigaOne X5000: customers can "register interest" with A-EON
Using a form on the A-EON website, customers can now register their interest to order a X5000 system or motherboard (quote) "for the specific purpose of reserving an AmigaOne X5000 motherboard or complete system for a future order."
The site doesn't list any information regarding the scope of delivery or the price of the product. Meanwhile, users are sharing pictures of a promotional poster for the X5000 and a screenshot of a website that was or will be used for ordering a X5000 in IRC and on Facebook:
In both cases the price for a (undefined) 'complete system' is listed as 1415 UKP plus taxes. That would be roughly 1700 Euro. (cg)

Demo party: Evoke (Cologne, 12.08. bis 14.08.)
In August, this year's edition of the demo party 'Evoke' will take place in the AbenteuerHallenKALK in Cologne. As usual, various demo, graphics and music competition will be held. There are no categories planned for retro computers, but 8 or 16 bit productions can be submitted to the 'alternative platform' competition - this might require supplying proper hardware for playing the demo though. Competitions for pixel graphics and Protracker modules are available this year.
The crowd-funded documentary 8-Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars will be screened during this year's Evoke. (cg) (Translation: cg)

- Added support for PCMCIA-slots (A600/A1200)
- Units are write-protectable.
- Playfield
- Added AGA-support.
- Added support for 16 bits-per-pixel (R5G6B5) rendering.
- Got rid of an internal temp-buffer. So in WebGL-mode, we render to the texture directly now.
- Added options for video-centering.
- Video
- The output-driver is now selectable.
- Added support and options for brightness, contrast and gamma.
- Added alpha-channel support.
- Added line-change indicator. (debug)

- Added "Anti"-samplehandler.
- Added A1200 lowpass-filter.
- Added support for stereo-channel separation.
- Rewrote handling of WebAudio-stuff.
- Events
- If supported by the browser, timing-functions does use performance.now() instead of Date.now(),
which increases the precision by the factor of 1000.
- Optimized switching between pause/run. Thanks 'majcherek2048'.
- Input
- Added distinction between left/right shift/alt keys. The config-entry "Map L/R-Shift to L/R-Arrows" is gone.
- Config
- Completely reworked the advanced config page.
- Changed all SAEV_Config_* to SAEC_Config_* to match the new namespace. Sorry for that :/
- Many new options. Not listed here, see sae/config.js for details.
- API
- Deprecated and removed the old API function "SAE()". We're on javascript, so let's use: (new API)
"var sae = new ScriptedAmigaEmulator(); [...] var error = sae.start(); [...]" See index.js for details.
- Reworked error-handling for API-calls. Now an error-code (SAEE_*) is returned on any API-call.
- Common
- Introduced global functions, references, variables and constants for more speed. See sae/amiga.js for details.
- Moved all entries from constants.js to their specific place and renamed them to match the new global name-space.
- Updated asynchronous file-transfers to latest standards.
- Added proper GPL-header to the source-files.
- Moved the "Your game and demo..."-section from the main-site to the readme.
- Fixed linkage to contributors websites.
- Added SAE-specific-links to the info-box in the main-page.
- Added an disassembler tool.
"var sda = new ScriptedDisAssembler(); [...] var result = sda.disassemble();" See disass.js for details.
