What is it about a computer that was introduced 36 years ago by a company that would be defunct 12 years later that engenders such passion that people still collect it to this day? We’re talking about the Commodore 64, of course, the iconic 8-bit wonder that along with the other offerings from Commodore International served as the first real computer to millions of us. There’s more to the passion that Commodore aficionados exhibit than just plain nostalgia, though, and a new documentary film, The Commodore Story, seeks to explore both the meteoric rise and fall of Commodore International. Judging from the official trailer below, this is a film anyone with the slightest interest in Commodore is not going to want to miss. |

Programs come and go. They’ll get updated, see revisions, and eventually may end up being discontinued entirely. And given how long Commodore Amiga has been around, there are plenty of programs that once saw the limelight on our favorite computer platform, but have since fallen out of favor. Lets take a trip down memory lane with these beloved but forgotten Commodore Amiga programs. |

In the distant 1990, a 3D modelling, animation and raytacing package was released to the world: Lightwave 3D – it was originally running on Amigas with the Video Toaster card, but later became available as a standalone software package as well. It went on to become available to other platforms besides the Amiga as well (which had the last release with v5.0r), being used in multiple Hollywood productions and independent films, and is still around today. But we’re interested in the Amiga version here, and specifically what we can do with it today. Yes, we’re a weird bunch of people, I know… |

sHaNsHe (Double H Tech) has created a new all-in-one accelerator for the A3000 and A4000 Amigas, which has some neat tricks up its sleeve. I set up my card and benchmark it against other accelerators. {Review done by Wrangler Amiga. Normally I tend to stay away from youtube videos but this one is seriously worth it!} |

On June 14, 1984, Don Greenbaum, the Treasurer of Commodore International Limited, was at a secret meeting to negotiate the acquisition of Amiga Computer, Inc. This document was provided to Commodore by Amiga Computer, Inc to describe the Amiga computer. Don couldn't recall if the document was given to him at the June 14 meeting, or if he received it prior to the meeting. This document was generously contributed by Don Greenbaum. |

Games That Weren’t has been running for a quarter of a century this year, which is not only staggering, but also a bit scary if I’m honest. For 25 years, we have been documenting and preserving as much unreleased software as we can for a variety of platforms. Though it all began with just the Commodore 64 at the start, the machine I grew up with and still play today. |

In this short article I’m going to show you different ways that upcoming 64-bit version Odyssey 2.0 can execute JavaScript code and performance implications of these choices. Some of the results are quite interesting, coming very close to modern-day (October 2024) Firefox performance. This is especially important taking into account that Odyssey 2.0 WebKit engine has been released in February 2019. |

This tutorial also fitted in as an example for my first book The complete source of the example can be downloaded from the downloads page. Since the book is also intended for assembly programmers I decided to produce a similar example source to do the same GUI related things in assembly. This post is not as much a tutorial but more a accompanying text to the assembly source, which has also been made available on the download page |

I have written a program called ADF Sender Terminal, which should make it easy to get your ADF files back to your Amiga or from Amiga to PC. Since V1.2 both directions are possible. Transwarp allows a baudrate up to 115200 from Amiga to PC. V 1.3 and higher can send single tracks. This progarm is useful for Amiga Computers with little RAM (512k,1MB) System requirements: 32Bit Windows (e.g.: 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP) |

So, the hardware is installed, and I've successfully booted from the Emergency USB recovery stick. What now? Partitioning the SSD drive of course. Now this may sound like a simple task and, in general, it is. The most difficult part is deciding how many partitions, what they will be used for, and how big each one should be. |

The A2320 is a video deinterlacer board originally designed for the A2000. It is essentially the motherboard deinterlacer circuitry from the A3000 on a board. Based on the Amber chip used in the A3000, the board is often referred to as the Amber board. Physically, the board is built to fit into the video slot of an A2000. Electronically, it works fine in an A4000. |

ACE uses Amiga hardware features directly, aiming for as much speed as possible. The code is OS-friendly, allowing running from and exiting to Workbench gracefully. Current feature set is OCS-oriented, although produced code should work on AGA just fine. |

Always after ways to push the trusty Amiga 500 to new limits, I discovered a post on the German A1k.org website about someone who had fitted a graphics card to his A500. This was a feat I felt I should replicate. I’m almost, but not quite, there. However, there were lots of hoops which needed jumping through first... |

After a bit of debugging, it started to look like one of the memory chips wasn’t working properly. I dropped a message to the Kryoflux team and Matze, the card’s creator, asked me to send it in for repair. Despite the Christmas holidays getting in the way, Matze did a grand job and sorted it out promptly. |

A Rust library and command-line tool for managing ADF (Amiga Disk File) files. While working on cross-development for the Amiga, I needed a way to manage ADF files. Existing libraries weren't written in Rust, which was my preferred language for tool development. Thus, I decided to create a Rust-based library for managing ADF files. The library is still in its early stages and is not yet feature-complete or extensively tested. |

A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This is a tool for reverse engineering Amiga 680x0 software. It allows binaries to be disassembled and investigated. The primary goal of this project is to provide a graphical user interface on top of the excellent ira “reassembler” to accelerate the workflow. Aira Force implements “reassembly” using the ira disassembler and the vasm assembler. Ira transforms the source executable or raw binary into assembly language source code, then vasm assembles the source code. The output binary should be identical (or equivalent) to the input binary. |

VSTi 8-bit Sampler inspired by the sound of the famous Commodore Amiga for Windows/MacOS/Linux using VST3/AU/LV2. The Ami Sampler brings that feel and that sound into the modern world of Digital Audio Workstations. Obviously heavily inspired by the Amiga, as well as Protracker and Fasttracker, it also draws inspiration from last trackers like Triton's Fasttracker II and Milkytracker in addition to some modern sampler VST plugins. While in no way an emulator nor a recreation of the limitations that the late 80s software had, the Ami Sampler strives to take the classic sound of the Amiga but still allow it to stand up with a modern DAW setting. |

Amiberry is an optimized Amiga emulator, for ARM32, ARM64, x86_64 (macOS and Linux) and RISC-V platforms. The core emulation comes from WinUAE, and the main GUI is designed to look similar to that. However, not all WinUAE features are implemented, as Amiberry tries to achieve a balance between good performance on low-powered hardware and emulation accuracy. It includes JIT support, to get high-performance results on CPU-intensive emulated environments, like desktop applications. On top of that, there are some unique features developed specifically for Amiberry, such as the WHDLoad booter, support for RetroArch controller mapping, and several more. |

Welcome. The old amiexpress.co.uk site disappeared because the domain name expired. I am not sure if the original owner lost interest or forgot, but at the same time I was renewing my own in retro computing. Out of love for the great BBS and the old scene days, I started the task of building a website in support of the old bbs. This is a labor of love and in hopes of bring back some old-schoolers and sparking interest in the new generation. A big thank you to the original creator, developers , sysops and door programmers of Amiexpress. AmiExpress was originally written by Michael Thomas of Synthetic Technologies and later sold to Joseph Hodge of Lightspeed Technologies. |

This design is the two and three button versions of the Amiga "pregnant" mouse. I didn't model the cord, but did do the plug. I made it only from pictures I found online, which required a lot of guesswork, so I'd be most grateful if someone who owns one would be willing to give me some measurements. I may eventually 3D print one and put some modern mouse guts into it (have to think about how a mouse wheel would best be integrated...). |

So, what is it? Well, according to lore, the Amiga engineers at Commodore were very interested in the Unix operating system(s), and wanted to bring it to their own machines. Unfortunately, the Motorola 68000 CPU in the Amiga was deemed insufficient, as it lacked the sophisticated MMU required. This, in turn, led to the creation by Commodore of the Amiga A2630 CPU accelerator which contained a 68030 processor and mmu. And this, in turn, led to the creation of the Amiga 2500UX, which is basically an Amiga 2000 with the aforementioned A2630 card and an A2091 SCSI hard drive card with a hard drive containing AMIX. |

After having Amiga OS 3.1 on the 1200 for a while, I'd decided it was time to upgrade to Amiga OS 3.9. I had instantly realised there was a problem with this; the installation media is on a CD! There was no way I was going digging for an accelerator card with SCSI, or a PCMCIA CD Drive, so I resorted to emulation to get the OS installed. Therefore, henceforth are the steps required to build a compactflash card with a real OS for use on real hardware. Godspeed. |

The Commodore Amiga produces RGB video output @ 15khz. It has the ability to run in a higher resolution mode which causes a crazy amount of flicker when the screen refreshes... I used one of the scalers that are popular with us arcade people to scale the video to drive a VGA monitor. This is pretty well known, really the most limiting part is getting hold of DB-23 connectors.... I was more than impressed by the output from the scaler board, it looks really good. |

The Amiga 2000 EATX is a project by Jason Beer and is an open source Amiga 2000 PCB in the EATX form factor. EATX is an ATX variant that defines larger PCBs, measuring 12 x 13 inches (305 × 330 mm). These are referred to as Extended ATX, or, EATX. The length of Zorro II cards and the abundance of components on the Amiga 2000 makes EATX the best choice for this project. |

{Description translated from DE} The Amiga 2K front panel expands the Amiga 2000 with a panel for the 5.25" slot. This allows an external keyboard switch from the 7-bit A234 to be used internally and fully operated from the outside by plugging a USB keyboard / USB wireless dongle into the top left slot... The USB slot in the middle is used to externally access the RaspberryPi USB port that sits on the PiStorm 2K , so you can easily make files accessible to the Amiga OS... The button in the middle is connected to an HDMI switch and lights up as soon as the HDMI output of the PiStorm is switched to the RGBtoHDMI output. This allows an HDMI monitor to be used comfortably both for the classic HIRES resolution of games but also via the PiStorm you can work with the Workbench up to 4K. The lower slot leads the RaspberryPi's micro SD card to the outside using an extension cable. The space on the left side of the panel is for the later installation of a GoTek Systems USB Drive |

This Arduino sketch converts an original Amiga 500 keyboard into a USB HID, allowing it to function as a modern USB keyboard. Using an Arduino Leonardo, which supports native USB communication, the sketch reads the Amiga 500 keyboard signals and translates them into USB keystrokes, preserving the vintage feel with modern compatibility. |

I saw this RGBS/VGA to YPbPr adapter on ebay for around $30 and thought I'd try it out. I already had a buffered VGA adapter (bought off ebay also) so I hooked it up with Amiga --> buffered VGA --> RGBS to YPrPb --> component output --> TV. At first, I thought it didn't work because the first TV I tried didn't support the component signals. I got a black screen. But I kept trying different TVs and about half of them would work, and when it worked, the output was absolutely beautiful. The TV deinterlacing was often perfect so you could use interlaced modes without any jitter. |

Whilst looking for side-car Amiga A590 Hard drives for the Amiga 500, I found this deisgn at PCBWay of an internal IDE interface. The design seemed pretty straight-forward, but it did have its caveats. The main one was that this device does not Auto-Configure and therefore needs a boot floppy to use it. |

We had in our possession a broken Commodore Amiga A500 with workbench/kickstart 1.3 roms installed. The amiga was one of my favourite computers from my childhood so I was looking forward to restoring and possibly completing some minor upgrades and making a dream amiga. The first thing we needed to do was repair the Amiga itself and then look at the memory upgrade. |

Here is a Picasso 4MB Flicker Fixed for Amiga 2000, 3000 and 4000. The Picasso graphic board is made of two PCBs. The main one includes the designs of the Picasso and of the Flicker Fixer. The second one is a little male slot connector PCB which must be connected into the video slot of the Amiga. It's used for the Flicked fixer. In an Amiga 4000, this little PCB is onto the same axis as the Zorro edge slot. In the Amiga 2000, it must be connected into the video slot which located between its PSU and its cover case. Two ribbon cables as used to connect this PCB to the Flicker Fixer part of the board. |

While researching a future post about the Copper functionality of the Amiga’s Agnus custom chip, I decided to really dig in and figure out how the Copper worked and how you would write some of the bare metal custom chip code. The process of making this video made me realize I need to do a few other posts before I can do one about the Copper, as there are a lot of prerequisites to understand it, at least at the level I am now able to understand it at. I also wanted to showcase a lot of the kind of music the Amiga was known for, module music made on music trackers. |

Amiga E is a programming language and compiler I started creating for the Amiga in ‘91, released publicly in ‘93, commercially in ‘94, and released as open source in ‘97. It was most similar to C++, in the sense that it was fast and weakly typed, and had a rich set of features from procedural, object oriented and functional programming languages. I wrote the entire thing in assembly language, which will always persist in my mind as the craziest software engineering exercise I have ever gone through (400kb of mostly uncommented assembly in a single source file, for a complex compiler). |

I remember Amiga games looked pretty great back in the day. Some still do, if seen on real hardware. Pixel artists adapted their art for an environment with specific video out signal processing, CRT scanlines, gamma and ghosting. Using an emulator, certain scroll text movements, copper gradients, or frame flicker tricks will look harsh and skippy. The gamma might be way off, judging by the peculiar black-points I'm seeing coming out of a lot of emulated old hardware, in particular MAME. |

This project was inspired by the Amiga Digital Video project by c0pperdragon. This design makes use of the Amiga 2000/3000 video slot and easy to solder through hole components, making it friendly for even the novice DIYer. At the time of writing this, all the components are available through DigiKey. This has been tested with both standard and Super Denise on Amiga 2000 rev 4.x and 6.x boards. The picture output is outstanding. It should be fully compatable with the Amiga 3000, but I do not have access to one for testing. |

Mechanical keyboard for the Amiga 2000/3000/4000. This is a project I started while pausing on another project. This IS NOT a drop-in replacment for legacy Amiga keyboards. Rather, it is a new design using Cherry PCB mount switches and off the shelf key caps. I am not planning to work on this at the moment, but I may work on it again in the future. The schematics, PCB layout, and routing are complete (as far as I remember). All that's missing is the code for the STM FPGA. |

Hola, Amiga! The seminal computer company's assets were sold off by Gateway late last year, and the new company is about to announce a new OS partner. Reports of the Amiga computer's long-awaited revival apparently are not exaggerated in the least. |

AmigaGCConDocker is a project with different Docker images that can be used as the base for a cross-compiling development environment for AmigaOS 4 (ppc-amigaos). They are based on GCC versions 8, 9, 10 and 11 and they are using Ubuntu OS. They have installed everything needed (gcc compiler, SDKs, libraries) for compiling your applications out of the box. The purpose of the project is to be an up-to-date, flexible and out-of-the-box solution for cross-compiling applications for Amiga OS4, using the GCC C/C++ compiler. Those Docker images can be used on CI/CD solutions for automatic testing, compiling, packaging and deployment. |

TCP/IP through serial, between an Amiga 500 and Linux. AmigaNOS (or AmigaTCP or KA9Q) is as far as I know the only TCP/IP stack that works on Kickstart 1.3, besides Commodore's AS225 stack (and probably just it's r1 version), made for the A2065 Zorro-II Ethernet card for Amiga 2000/3000/4000. By the time the Internet became more widespread, Kickstart 2.0 was already out and the more advanced applications all use the capabilities of the newer OS. AmigaNOS is the port of the TCP/IP stack originally written by Phil Karn (callsign: KA9Q) and was intended for amateur packet radio users. As it's tiny and was written in C, it got ported to many systems. The Amiga port was done by John Heaton. |

{Polish & on Aminet} A {windows} program for checking images of Kickstart memory (ROM), which is located in every Amiga computer. It allows you to easily verify the correctness of the Kickstart and detect possible errors, before uploading the image to the memory chip (EPROM, EEPROM, FLASH) and mounting it in the Amiga. It supports 69 basic versions of Kickstart (support for new versions can be easily added) and your own 1 MB Kickstarts created with the Remus package. It was written in C using the free "Open Watcom 1.9" environment. Runs on Windows 95 or later (requires 386 or better processor). |

Did you know that, as of 2015/06/02, there are more than 20,000 packages in the mods directory on Aminet? Yes! That's more than 20,000 modules to play and enjoy! There are also thousands of modules on AMP, Haxor.fi, Modland, Modules.pl . So, why not have a program that could automatically download one module at-a-time, extract it, and play it using your favorite player? This is the purpose of AmiModRadio! It can download, unarchive, and send modules to your favorite players: AmigaAMP, DeliTracker, EaglePlayer, HippoPlayer, MultiPlayer, or TuneNet (see this comparison). |

AmiSSL is a port of OpenSSL for AmigaOS. It is a shared library that allows developers to easily add SSL/TLS/HTTPS support to their applications or access cryptographic functions, without having to worry about all the ins and outs of porting OpenSSL, whilst also reducing bloat because all applications can share the same AmiSSL library. Starting with AmiSSL v5, OpenSSL 3.x even provides a built-in basic HTTP(S) client which makes it even easier for developers to read resources from the web without needing to worry about networking code. |

As a former Amiga user, having owned the A1000, A2000, A3000 and A4000 with a multitude of hardware add-ons, I was very late to discover Amithlon, an Amiga emulation that uses standard x86 hardware to run the Amiga OS, Amiga OS 3.9 in fact. Once discovering this awesome software, I've spent hours on the net searching for more information and how to get the best out of it. Lots of dead-end links as well as some very useful tips helped me get Amithlon running on a number of old computers I had with varying pieces of hardware. I'm hoping to make available as much information and resources as possible, though Amithlon itself can not be provided. |

Version 1.1.4 of the AMOS Pro BSD Socket extension is out, and it’s a big one. Thanks to both an anonymous contributor and some improved M68K assembler debugging techniques, this version has multiple crash bugs fixed, as well as an issue that prevented the extension from working well on non-emulated Amigas. Upgrading is highly recommended! |

If you were a child of the 1970s or 1980s you probably have fond memories of the early days of the “home computer” industry. Apple, Atari, TI, and several other companies all made their mark but none of them have a legacy quite like Commodore. Most people alive in that era remember the Commodore 64. After all, it’s still the best selling single computer model of all time. But there’s a long list of other Commodore computer models as well. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and see what else they did. |

Probably the fastest network transfer software you can find for your amiga. A server software runs in the background on your Amiga and allows a client running on a PC running Windows, Linux or MacOS to connect to the Amiga and browse the local disks. |

ASMotor is a portable and generic assembler engine and development system written in ANSI C99 and licensed under the GNU Public License v3. The package consists of the assembler, the librarian and the linker. It can be used as either a cross or native development system. The assembler can output ASMotor's own object format, Amiga hunk format (link and executable) and ELF. The assembler should slot right in to another toolchain without any trouble, if that is preferred. |

It had to be the Amiga 500 Batman pack. Batman looked amazing, and it came with the must have “F/A 18 Interceptor”. My first flight sim.

The second book in my "Amiga Programming" series has just been published. Where my previous book concentrated mainly on using the functionality provided by AmigaOS, this book is about programming the hardware of the Amiga directly. Programming the hardware directly is known as "bare-metal programming", which is a technique employed by a large number of game and demo programmers in order to squeeze the last drop op performance from the system. |

description As a bit of an audiophile, the one thing that has always bothered me a little is the Amiga's perfect channel separation, also sometimes known as "drums on one speaker and the bassline on the other". This can cause the sound to feel unbalanced. {...} So here is my solution, called "BassMX". It takes the audio from one channel, filters it so that only the low frequencies are kept and mixes that with the audio from the other channel. In short, it mixes the bass. And it does that for both channels of course. |

If Forgotten Forever can be described as a Command & Conquer clone, this little beauty can surely be described as a Warcraft-II clone. The Dutch programmer 'Peter De Boer' has been working on this one for quite some time now, and his main goal is to make it the best amiga (ECS/AGA) strategic action game that is available. As you can see from the image to the left Peter de Boer is working on a total and complete conversion of the PC Warcraft-II game. He is converting all the original graphics in an Amiga 32-color version so that ECS-AMiga's wont be left out. And looking at the screenshot of the level-Editor he hasn't done a bad job! |

BBoot is a simple, minimal boot loader to load AmigaOS on QEMU emulated amigaone and pegasos2 machines. It is replacing the second level boot loader (amigaboot.of on pegasos2 and slb_v2 on amigaone) and makes booting AmigaOS on QEMU simpler and without needing a firmware ROM. The original amigaboot.of only works with the non-free pegasos2 SmartFirmware and slb_v2 is tied to U-Boot, whereas BBoot also works with QEMU's built in minimal Virtual Open Firmware (VOF) on pegasos2 or without U-Boot on amigaone. |

{...} Roosendaal wrote the first source files titled “Blender” on the 2nd of January, 1994, still considered Blender’s official birthday. Originally, Blender was planned as an in-house application for NeoGeo; it grew from a series of pre-existing tools, including a ray-tracer built for the Amiga. This early version of Blender was intended to address a perennial frustration among creatives: when a difficult client requires multiple changes to a project, how do you implement those changes painlessly? |

If you need a SCSI hard drive for your old computer, there are a lot of great options becoming available for a solid-state substitute. A great one of those options is the BlueSCSI, and I’m not just saying that because I won a free one. It’s because I won a free kit, so I got to put it together myself. |

One way of booting harddrives on the Replay is by using hard disk files (HDF’s). The Amiga 500 (kickstart 1.3) had no native support for harddrives though, so we need to patch it in. We want to add IDE support to the kickstart, and this patch will, don’t let the SCSI part of the name confuse you. I will not go into the details on why it’s called SCSI patch, but this is the one to use. It’s a backward compatibility thing. |

It’s not fair that Amiga 1000s and 500s gets to have all the fun with the Action Replay. But wait... There is a way to get the same functionality on an Amiga 600 or 1200. It’s called HRTmon. In order for this to work the same way as an Action Replay cartridge, HRTmon needs to be resident in ROM as part of the Kickstart. Here is how to do it on macOS... |

I bought an Amiga 600 on eBay that was in very nice external physical condition, but it wouldn’t boot. Replacing the reset circuit capacitor didn’t fix it either. Inspecting the board, I could see a lot of corrosion around many of the surface-mount capacitors. The board was beyond repair, at least with my skills. I searched online for replacement motherboards, and I found out about the Amiga 600 Junior. |

A lot of people use Meanwell power supplies as the replacements for the poor quality ones that came with the Amiga. Typically, the 50W variants such as the RPT-60B are used because it fits nicely inside an original Amiga power supply. I wanted to see if I could use a 75W PSU for heavily upgraded Amigas. Here is the journey. |

This UNFINISHED article is my attempt to comprehensively catalogue most C++'s main failings, since I haven't yet come across anything that does so to my satisfaction. While it is based upon several years of thought on the subject, I may have made some mistakes, since I tend to steer clear of actual use of C++ where-ever possible. |

I am finally authoring a blog post on an Amiga, albeit a emulator it seems to be working well. Using Final Writer 97 on CaffienOS. I am always amazed how many releases of Amiga OS there are and how many modern products continue to be developed. I believe the Amiga just refuses to die and lives perpetually at this point. Only time will tell whether a younger audience will come in to play and infuse more interest and this additional life. Many of us are getting older and that is the risk of the interest dwindling verses continuing to live forever. |

This book is an introduction to the programming of the classic Amiga OS using C as well as MC68000 assembly language. For the novice it will be an introduction into the basics of the Amiga and its OS, for the programmer who used to do this 30 years ago it will be a nice refresher. Since this book is meant as an introduction it will not cover every single function call of every single library of the OS, nor will it cover every single flag or option for the functions that are covered. It will, however, provide a solid base from where you can start writing your own software for the Commodore Amiga. |

I made a simple Workbench CD for the Amiga CD32, which can be used on an unexpanded machine. It needs no keyboard, can be used with only the joypad via an on screen keyboard. There are many game collection CDs available (some can even be used for listening .mods or watch .anims), but I missed the AmigaOS look'n'feel, so I made a system for myself. What can it do? You can listen to .mods, .sids, you can watch Amiga and scene related pictures, anims, try some games and demos, read documents (the complete AmigaDOS manual, the CD32 developer kit and many CD32 related articles from Aminet), you can browse other CDs, listen to audio CDs, and most of all, you can expand it to fit your needs, put your favourite games, demos, on it before you burn the iso, if you want. |

Connecting an old PC machine with a CGA video output to a modern VGA monitor requires changing the horizontal display frequency from 15kHz to 30kHz. Professional video scalers are very expensive devices, but fortunately there are popular Chinese alternatives, which cost only around 20$. The problem with them is that they rarely work out of the box. I will describe here how I forced GBS-8220 video scaler to display my Schneider Euro PC CGA screen on a Sony VGA monitor. |

Welcome to a very special Workbench - one that comes in Alien Green or Earthly Blue! This Workbench includes a design, dockbar (with hand drawn images) and programs put together by Paul the Green Amiga Alien , who sadly is no longer with us. He began a project that never got finished back in 2002, essentially wanting to create a Workbench pack for A600 users like himself. The work was never completed, until now... This release is dedicated to him and his contribution to the Amiga community over the years. Our memories are with you Paul, rest in peace. |

This is a fork of official clib2 present in adtools. The point of this library is to make it Amiga OS4 only to maintain it easily and add all missing clib2 features that are hard to add also on classic amigas. Classic amigas has also ixemul that is the most complete, POSIX compliant, library we have. It is useless share code that most probably no one will use. Te goal is to try to make it POSIX compliant and fix also all C++ problems we have with newer compilers. All warnings (except really few one) produced by GCC 10 and above are now gone. All deprecated OS4 functions are replaced by modern OS4 one |

Codecraft is the powerful IDE for developing software natively on the Amiga. Codecraft makes it easy for you as a developer to write code, then build, execute and debug your resulting program. And everything is at your fingertips in one unified user interface. Shows your project tree as a hierarchical list of source files, Provides easy modern text editing, Builds the project tree invoking your build system, Runs your resulting program & Does source level debugging with breakpoints and inspection of variables. The software is free. But it works as an extension to TextEdit so AmigaOS 3.2.2 or better is required. |

The Amiga was a spectacle of graphics and sound when it debuted in 1985. While it can trivially display colorful images like in the above example, doing so in the context of a game engine presents a lot of unique challenges.

The Commodore 1084 monitor was Commodore’s flagship monitor, a monitor that worked with everything they produced in the late 1980s, including the C-64, the C-128 in 40 and 80 column modes, the Amiga line, and Commodore’s CGA-equipped PC clones like the Commodore Colt. Its versatility makes it popular with retro computer enthusiasts today. Not only does it work with almost any Commodore computer, it also works with a lot of non-Commodore computers. |

When I first got my Amiga 500, it wouldn’t boot. Suspecting something was wrong with the A501 512K memory expansion, I pulled the card, at which point it did boot. It didn’t take me long to realize that battery corrosion had killed it. |

This is a photorealistic and high-detailed 3d print model with 1:1 resolution, compatible to Amiga 1200 keyboard and motherboard. Amiga 1200(also known as A1200) was a popular home computer in 90s which was a low-end version of high-end Amiga-s with AGA architecture, it had a Motorola MC68EC020 processor inside and a new advanced AGA chipset. It also had a hard drive inside in HD versions, so it was possible to install OS and use it as a very convenient home computer. Model was printed and tested on real keyboard and motherboard. |

This is a 1:1 photorealistic full resolution and high detailed 3d print model of Commodore Amiga 500 enclosure. It is suitable for 3d printing or plastic molding. All sockets perfectly fit the original motherboard. You can use this 3d case to mod and improve your Commodore Amiga 500 computer or just to make a full-size emulator on Raspberry Pi and etc. The small printers 210x210 mms are also suitable for printing - just use 6 parts version. You can find a model split to 6 parts, which fit the 3d printer table, and a model for 400x400 printers(with 4 parts). Parts are connected using M2 screws, which are soldered inside the plastic. |

Despite being essentially boring technology (ooo, I can just tell some people aren’t going to like that one), CD applications are taking off. First there’s Kodak’s PhotoCD system for storing pictures, and now along comes Commodore with CDTV. CDTV is interesting because it’s basically a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or this case, a computer in CD’s clothing. |

Over the years there have been a number of rumours that Commodore developed a follow-up to the CDTV. Many believed it was a CDTV with a DCTV built-in, others said it was an expanded machine with AmigaOS2, more memory, keyboard and disk drive. These rumours were confirmed in March 2000 when two machines appeared on eBay. The first was sold for $199, the second for $1000. A third prototype was owned by National Amiga, who sold it to Oliver Hannaford-Day, the CDTV.org administrator for $250. |

So, I won’t be wasting too many words on this – partially because I’m not into cheap soap operas, and partially because there’s no way to know what’s going on with this nonsense without dedicating a year’s worth of detailed study into the subject. So it seems that the company Hyperion, which develops and owns the rights to Amiga OS 4 and Amiga OS 3.2 has gone into bankruptcy proceedings. |

I recently purchased an external floppy drive the for the Amiga which was sold as “untested”. Unfortunately “untested” in this case meant “doesn’t work and someone did a bad attempt at repairing it”. There were parts of the drive physically broken and it was beyond repair. I lucked out because unlike the Rotec drive I repaired in the past, this one uses a standard floppy connector inside. So, instead I decided to convert a PC floppy drive to work in the case. |

Background. The Amiga floppy controller is unusually flexible since it is implemented in the custom chips of the Amiga itself. It can read and write raw bit sequences directly from and to the disk via DMA or programmed I/O at 500 (double density) or 250 kbit/s (single density or GCR)... CopyLock - Rob Northen Computing |

Commodore Amiga 2000/3000/4000 I2C controller as Zorro-II card. This controller is software compatible to M. Boehmer's ICY board. The main difference between the original ICY card and this design is that the PCF8584 I2C controller chip is mapped indirectly to the Amiga bus here. This way, occasional mis-configuration of the PCF8584 bus protocol and timing issues can be worked around. While the main purpose of this board is to provide an I2C controller, there are some optional on-board extras. |

My first programming experience was Basic on a ZX81. Then my step-dad bought me a c64 and I was hooked. And I have been a software developer ever since. When I was lucky enough to get an Amiga, I started with Amiga Basic while dabbing in Kuma Seka Assembler, learning the ropes. Eventually Blitz Basic came onto the scene and it was a perfect match since it compiled to real binaries (real machine code, as opposed to bytecodes or “P-Code” as it was called back then), and allowed users to write inline assembly side-by-side with basic statements. |

Lately I have been seeing many Amiga 600 and Amiga 1200 with bad Band Pass Filter (Z221) and Delay Line (Z222). This generally causing bad picture quality on composite and the RF-modulator. {...} The modification is rather simple if you have some SMD soldering experience and you only need to components. So, why wait! |

If you’ve not heard of it before, WHDLoad is a fantastic piece of software which streamlines the loading of games from an Amiga equipped with a hard drive. {...} In fact many Amiga games used a non-DOS disk format to perhaps squeeze a few extra bytes on, or provide copy protection, and if you pop one of these in to your Workbench environment all you’ll see is DF0:NDOS and no way to launch the game |

DICE-NX is a C compiler suite for Commodore Amiga computers and for Motorola 68000-based embedded systems. It is a fork of the DICE product developed by Matt Dillon of Obvious Implementations Corp in the 1990s, now relicensed under the BSD License. DICE-NX aims to restart development of DICE with a focus on the modern retrocomputing scene, including support for the latest AmigaOS 3.2 line. DICE-NX is currently early in development. There is no packaged release yet, and building DICE-NX may be challenging! |

A Windows package to use Floppy Disk Images Files & Non/PC Real Floppy Disks in Windows, directly. I wanted to be able to access floppy disks from my Amiga, and other formats without having to boot an emulator. I wanted to be able to open a disk image file (like ADF, IMG etc) in Windows in the easiest way possible, as well as be able to use a real floppy drive too and see whats on it. So I decided to build this - which allows you to view and edit the contents of real disks and disk images directly from Windows Explorer, and yes, you can even read non-PC floppy disks in real time too (hardware required). |

DiskMaster2 is a file-manager for AmigaOS that I received the sources for in 1997 from Greg Cunningham. Over the course of more than ten years I moved it forward removing all assembly parts, porting it to GCC putting endless hours into it and countless lines of code and then adapting it for OS4 and using GUI classes when I was at first part of the AmigaOS4 Beta-Testing and later the Development Team. Around end of 2008 I gradually moved on and away from AmigaOS without realizing it at first. |

For more than 3 years, I devoted a lot of time working on the aiostreams package for the AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, making online video and audio streaming easier for the user, especially for websites that are resources hungry like YouTube and Twitch. Those websites need a lot of power and a strong web browser to work, which plenty of times the AmigaNG systems do not have. So I created a few python scripts, which can also be used on other system like Lnux and MacOS. |

Documenting the development of a new Amiga AGA and OCS version. Dune II on the Amiga was a really popular game. Most gaming magazines gave it rave reviews and it can consistently be found on "Best Amiga Games Ever"-type lists. Despite all of those accolades, the game on the Amiga wasn't as good as it could have been... My goal is to document the creation of a remake of Dune 2 for the Amiga from scratch the way it was meant to be released and to right all of those wrongs — and more; there was no native PAL support, for example. I was on the original Dune 2 Amiga team at Westwood. Even though I did the bulk of the Dune II conversion, leaving Westwood before it was released was something I still regret, and so I want to give the Amiga community the Dune 2 experience they deserve. |

I wouldn’t really call this an upgrade as such, more taking advantage of the latest developments in the Amiga scene. In case you’ve never heard of it, the ‘Gotek’ drive is basically a 3.5? Floppy Drive emulator. Instead of putting floppy disks in it you plug in a USB flash drive that can contain up to a thousands Amiga Disk Files or ‘ADF’s’ (floppy disk images). |

The venue is relatively centrally located in Germany, making it accessible to as many vintage computing enthusiasts as possible. In the coming weeks, there will be more information about the program and a schedule. The Flashback Symposium is platform-agnostic, bridging the gap between demo parties, user meetings, and digital holiday camp. The goal is to spend 3 days seeing as many familiar faces as possible, forging new friendships, in a relaxed, entertaining, and familial atmosphere. |

The Amiga FlashROM solution from OnyxSoft is a OpenSource project which is intended as a drop-in solution for Classic Amiga kickstart ROMs. The project is based around the flash chip AM29F800BB from AMD (and other manufacturer). This chip can (if used in the right pin configuration) be a direct drop-in solution for the older EPROM styled chipset like AM27C400 but have the advantage to be by nature easier to work with since it's a flashrom and does not need a special eraser for UW light etc. |

In an office in the city of Santa Clara California, 1984, a team of designers worked feverishly on a custom chipped computer built around the Motorola 68000 processor. Many may know the story of how Jay Miner, Dave Needle, R.J. Mical, Dave Morse, and perhaps even Mitchy the Dog came together to create one of the most legendary single computer models of all time, the Amiga. Often neglected in this story telling is another legendary designer, Bruce Artwick. According to Computer Gaming World, Artwick had been plucked away from SubLogic's Illinois offices and was working just as frantically on the Amiga as any other on that team, though with a slightly different goal in mind. |

Whilst they worked very well with FAT32 drives attached, I had no end of trouble trying to work out how to partition, format and mount as a native Amiga disk. For everything below, you'll want to use this bootdisk. |

As I go further down the Amiga memory lane rabbit hole, I ended buying a few actual real Amigas. The 600 and the 1200 both have an internal hard drive which allow the latest Workbench to be installed and booted from. Of course part of the fun in being able to do this from scratch. Turns out I’d forgotten a lot about the process, and on top of that a lot of new things have emerged since the last version of Workbench I used back in the days. For example, here I’ll be using Workbench 3.2 here so I’m not limited to any disk or partition size. I’m also installing the OS on a SD card plugged in to my TF1260 card’s IDE port so some steps below are specific to that. |

AmigaOS 4 drivers exist for different graphics cards but each platform specific version of AmigaOS only inlcudes a limited number of drivers for cards supported on that platform. Also QEMU can emulate a number of graphics devices but most of these are not supported by AmigaOS. Therefore it is a problem to find a combination that works and provides good results without much effort from users. This page discusses the different options for graphics card emulation and meant to be a place to collect information about this topic and to give inspiration for potential contributors who may want to look into one of these. |

On July 23, 1985, Commodore kicked off a new era in its history with the launch of the Amiga 1000. Through the 1980s and into the early 90s, the Amiga built for itself a cult following and gained a reputation as a personal computer ahead of its time. |

Introduction. Since A-Cube stop producing the Sam motherboards and the high price points of the X1000 & X5000 there were calls for a low-cost entry to the AmigaONE market. In 2015 A-eon announced the A1222, designed to be a low-cost system based on the P1022 1.2Ghz CPU in a Mini ITX design. |

Amigakit a UK long-established Amiga store have developed their own custom Amiga compatible emulation system, similar to the A500 Mini but designed to be a much more complete and advance system. The system is powered by Orange Pi Zero 3, which is another Arm CPU based system, very similar to Raspberry Pi boards. {...} The board feature a easter egg name "Good Stuff" an Amiga tradition to take a Song name from The B52 music band, something almost all classic Amiga had. The GS part of the name A600GS can however both mean Good Stuff and Gaming System according to AmigaKit. |

As an owner of an expansion card with its own storage connector (e.g. in Vampire V2, Icedrake V4, PiStorm, etc.), you face the problem that displaying the operation of the device via LED activity on the Amiga 1200 is not possible. Unfortunately, manufacturers have neglected to include this feature in their extensions. The solution to this problem is the HDD LED adapter for the Amiga 1200, which provides 2 separate inputs. This allows the activity of, for example, hard drives or the PCMCIA port to be displayed using the original LED module on the Amiga panel. |

Back on the Atari ST and Amiga illegal copies were a big problem. It's impossible to stop, but it was often worth trying to at least make it hard for copies to get cracked and distributed. For some reason, we suspected press versions might be a source of leaks. So for Ambermoon, I implemented a fingerprinting mechanism. And lo and behold, it helped us identify a leak! And now that I've released the source code, I can more easily show how I did it. |

One of the most common questions about the Amiga is how many units were sold during its lifetime. According to various sources, the Amiga line sold an estimated 4 to 5 million machines worldwide. However, exact figures are difficult to come by, and there is some disagreement among experts about the actual number of units sold. |

The advantage of having up2date crosscompiler for amigaos4 probably have no needs to explain, as everything move forward, and even on amigaos4 we had to move even by small steps. While for having cross-compiler at all there is very good reassons: speed and ability to use all range of helpfull tools such as cmakes,autoconf and scripting languages, but for having updated cross-compiler there is even more reasson: ability to use c++XX till c++17, thread support in c++XX, bugfixes (and new bugs, of course:) ) and all the fancy stuff which come with new gcc. |

After ordering a custom joystick from Immortal Joysticks, I was in need of a way to use this legendary stick on the A500 mini. Rather than buy a solution, I opted to build one using my horrible soldering skills and drafted in one of my many 3D printers. As Amiga “builds” go, it’s a simple (and rewarding) project, perfect for someone who just likes to tinker. |

Amiga lowlevel monitor. Have you ever wanted to get an Action Replay on your A1200, A3000 or A4000 ? If the answer is yes, then you should have a look at HRTmon. HRTmon is a monitor for your Amiga, which doesn't use the libraries. You can invoke the monitor at any point. Even if a game or a demo switched off the interrupts. Once in HRTmon you can watch all the memory, disassemble, edit, save, etc... and continue, as if nothing happend. You don't have to care about any picture address. ALL the CHIP-memory can be edited transparently.br> |

Hyperion Entertainment confirmed that at the end of December the source code to AmigaOS 3.1 was leaked, which is now causing problems for the company continuing to develop this proprietary operating system. Hyperion owns an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to AmigaOS 3.1 granted by Amiga Inc following Hyperion's development of AmigaOS 4, which is derived from the v3.1 code-base. Because of this deal with Amiga Inc, the source leak of AmigaOS 3.1 is causing big problems for the company even though AmigaOS 3.1 is more than two decades old. |

The very first issue of Amiga Transactor - spun off from the original Transactor - featured an article by Andy Finkel, then the Software Manager at Commodore-Amiga. Fortunately, the article survived, although Amiga Transactor didn't. It's interesting to contrast the state of AmigaDOS then and now, especially in comparison to the CAOS specs. Thanks to Andy - and an intrepid Amiga owner who typed in the text and sent it to Andy - ViewPort is able to reprint that article in its entirety. So set the WayBack machine for 1988, and read on... |

It is similar in functionality to the Unijoysticle 2+, but with some additional features tailored for the Amiga, like: Fits in the Amiga 500 / 1200 joystick port without additional cables, New buttons: “mode” button: To easily cycle between “normal”, “mouse” and “enhanced” modes, “swap” button: To easily swap joystick ports. Useful in many scenarios, specially in the Amiga 4000 where the joystick ports are swapped. Additional LED for status: Tells whether Bluetooth pair is enabled, and in which gamepad mode is selected |

This is an implementation of the Amiga AmiStore application in Java. The reason for implementing a clone is, because the Amiga native app didn’t let me login. (So I couldn’t buy anything.) Nobody could help me resp. tell why I cannot log in. Thus I helped myself and went into the rapid hole black box analyzing the communication between the server and the application. The result ins’t a feature complete relica. Furthermore it doesn’t bother to make it pretty with images from the offered products, etc. And it probably doesn’t behave well if errors are encounter. But nevertheless it fulfill my needs to buy stuff from the store. Maybe others can have use of it, too. |

That means that you just need to plug it in, configure your emulator to use the HID-device and start playing! |

We spoke with pixel artist and programmer Jim Sachs about everything from Defender of the Crown to virtual aquariums. American Jim Sachs is one of the true greats in the area of classic pixel art. He is particularly known for his work on the Amiga, where he was responsible for the graphics in one of the platform’s most important system sellers, Defender of the Crown, as well as Ports of Call, which was a favourite here in Norway. However, his career didn’t end there, and if you were impressed by virtual aquariums around the turn of the millennium, it was probably his fish you were looking at. |

We had the opportunity to ask Simon Turner, who is UK marketing director and responsible for global marketing of the retro division at Plaion a few questions. We discussed the inspiration behind these consoles, about getting the rights to old games, and their plans for any future releases. |

Overview. Lite XL is derived from lite. It is a lightweight text editor written mostly in Lua — it aims to provide something practical, pretty, small and fast easy to modify and extend, or to use without doing either. The aim of Lite XL compared to lite is to be more user friendly, improve the quality of font rendering, and reduce CPU usage. Customization. Additional functionality can be added through plugins which are available in the plugins repository or in the Lite XL plugins repository. Additional color themes can be found in the colors repository. These color themes are bundled with all releases of Lite XL by default. |

A long-lost Andy Warhol portrait of Blondie singer Debbie Harry from 1985 that has been hanging in rural Delaware, is going up for sale, we hear, for potential millions. The Harry portrait — and a signed disk of 10 Warhol images — was created on an early home computer when Warhol was an ambassador for a now-defunct tech outfit. Nearly 40 years ago, the famous artist signed on as a brand ambassador to early tech company Commodore and created a portrait of the “Heart of Glass” singer on an Amiga 1000 home computer as part of a promo at Lincoln Center. |

For me, it's release completes a long Hyperion Entertainment official beta testing program I was part of for this new system. I have been under NDA during this process and unable to talk about it, but with the A1222 system now released and final form of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition now set in stone, I confirmed that I can talk about the new system now! So let's dive in! |

This board gives a pixel-perfect HDMI output from your Amiga 500 using a Raspberry Pi Zero (not included). It is a brand new version of the CPLD RGBtoHDMI for Amiga 500/500+. The Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero 2W (not included) goes through the board to make it extra low profile, it easily fits under an accelerator that is on a relocator, such as a TF536. If you have a revision 3 Amiga 500 motherboard, you will need the CSYNC clip option. All other motherboard revisions will not need this. |

It’s been nearly 27 years but, as life teaches us, all good things must come to an end. On June 15th, Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer on all desktop systems, including its launch platform, the Commodore Amiga. Microsoft tweeted the news yesterday from its official @MicrosoftEdge account. In the poignant tweet, the Redmond software giant bade farewell to its venerable web browser, stating with some sadness, “Now, it’s time to surf the big web in the sky,” while marking the woeful moment with an animated image of IE’s orbited-“e” logo, centered on a glowing blue screen which fades out to darkness on an Amiga 1000 computer. |

This is a module emulating the playback functionality of the Toccata sound card for the Commodore Amiga. Toccata sound card. The module is written in SystemVerilog, and is intended to be used in the Minimig core. It was not possible for me to get an actual Toccata sound card, or find the documentation for the sound card. This module is implemented by reverse engineering the Toccata sound card emulation of UAE, and looking at the OpenBSD driver. The Toccata sound card uses the AD1848 audio chip, the AD1848 data sheet was used to implement the indirectly exposed registers to the zorro II bus. |

In short: "PCI is for PC what Zorro is for Amiga". {...} It is therefore not unsurprising that several vendors started to offer through which an Amiga system can be equipped with a PCI bus, and through which components designed for PC systems can be plugged into an Amiga. {..} The version in this archive is a complete re-implementation of openpci and based on a different design philosophy: Instead of depending on proprietary drivers, it interfaces directly to third party hardware, entirely replacing vendor specific drivers. At the same time, it provides a super-set of services the original openpci.library offered, addressing some of its shortcomings. {Written by Thomas 'Thor' Richter} |

This is a ECS and AGA-combo scandoubler and flicker fixer for big box Amigas. A scandoubler doubles the horizontal frequency of the Amiga output from ~15.6kHz to ~31.5kHz to let a VGA monitor think it has the double number of lines. But in real every scanline is just doubbled ;). In interlace two suceeding lines are transmitted via half frames @25Hz. A flicker fixer stores one frame in a field mem and uses it to complete the second frame @ 50 Hz. It removes the nasty interlace flicker. |

BBoot is a simple, minimal boot loader to load AmigaOS on QEMU emulated amigaone and pegasos2 machines. It is replacing the second level boot loader (amigaboot.of on pegasos2 and slb_v2 on amigaone) and makes booting AmigaOS on QEMU simpler and without needing a firmware ROM. The original amigaboot.of only works with the non-free pegasos2 SmartFirmware and slb_v2 is tied to U-Boot, whereas BBoot also works with QEMU's built in minimal Virtual Open Firmware (VOF) on pegasos2 or without U-Boot on amigaone. |

What does it do? Processes (line doubles) retro games with NO input lag – Unlike other scalers, such as the XRGB Mini, the OSSC works on individual scanlines rather than a frame at a time, that means there’s no input lag whatsoever (well, a few nanoseconds if you really want to be precise). Eliminates ugly deinterlacing artefacts and bad scaling. Converts SCART and Component to DVI/HDMI. Convert VGA to DVI/HDMI – Connect a retro PC directly to the unit and enjoy HDMI processing of all your games. Convert analogue audio to digital DVI/HDMI. Fast deinterlacer. |

The AmigaOS distribution of vbcc is maintained by Frank Wille and can be downloaded here. Frank added support for the NDK3.2 in vbcc 0.9h, so you'll have to get this version or a later one. |

Thanks to the inclusion of Screamernet with Lightwave 4.0 and higher, you may use a single copy of Lightwave to render your work on multiple computer systems. This greatly speeds up your rendering time, and if you have several computers around, Screamernet is flexible enough to allow you to use Modeler on one system while the others are busy rendering.{...} But before you can 'start Screaming', you have to have a network up and running. Screamernet will use your existing network, it will not do the networking for you. |

The idea of the post that was made is to test the interest of making the new Amiga 1000 clone. It is an replacement for a motherboard that is damaged or that only have the casing, because the plate has died etc. |

But you can easily translate it with DeepL, Bing, Google, etc.), dissecting (especially from a technical point of view) all the problems that beset it and, therefore, the reasons why it was rarely used, relegating it mostly to displaying static images or movies/animations. |

This guide is designed to help overcome that barrier and help those that might need a little help in the right direction. I know there is a beautiful EMU68 image that’s provided by most suppliers but I didn’t get the PiStorm32 to play around with CaffineOS. I wanted a fully featured Workbench with all the extra features, something to feel like “traditional” hardware but with the speed and extras that are often beyond most people’s budgets. |

Introduction. The PiStorm32-Lite is an accelerator for the Commodore Amiga 1200 computer. It has been created by Claude Schwarz. This speeds up the Amiga 1200 by leveraging the Raspberry Pi's computational power. The Raspberry Pi plugs into the PiStorm and emulates the native 680x0 CPU at much higher performance than the original CPU. The Raspberry Pi is running software emulation of the 680x0 CPU using Emu68 developed by Michal Schulz. As a community project it is assembled and distributed by well known suppliers such as Amiga Kit. |

The Prelude is a full length Zorro II 16bit sound card. It contains a 2K FIFO Cache, and a CSSC 4231A sound processor capable of playing ALaw, uLaw, 8bit, 16bit ADCPM encodings. The remake card gerbers have been made available via github. This includes all the files needed to send to a PCB manufacturer to have the blank boards made. I had mine made using JLCPCB. The cost was very reasonable and the quality of the boards is very good. |

A multi-institutional team of new-media artists, computer experts, and museum professionals have discovered a dozen previously unknown experiments by Andy Warhol (BFA, 1949) on aging floppy disks from 1985. The purely digital images, “trapped” for nearly 30 years on Amiga® floppy disks stored in the archives collection of The Andy Warhol Museum (AWM), were discovered and extracted by members of the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Computer Club, with assistance from the AWM’s staff, CMU’s Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry (FRSCI), the Hillman Photography Initiative at the Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA), and New York based artist Cory Arcangel. |

We’ve spoken with ex-Westwood developer Bob Koon, who is working on a new Amiga version of Dune II. Bob Koon was part of the original Westwood team that created the groundbreaking real-time strategy game Dune II, which is considered the first «modern» game in the genre. His main task was converting the game to the Amiga. While the Amiga version was met with a very positive reception and is still fondly remembered today, Koon never felt completely satisfied with how it turned out. So now he’s set out to recreate it from scratch, and make the definitive version of Dune II in the process. We got in touch to ask him about the project. |

A few weeks ago (July 24th to be exact) was the 25th anniversary of the Amiga. Although it wasn't my first computer, the Amiga 500 was probably the first computer I owned that felt special in some way. It was a hacker's computer, an audio/video entertainment box, a unique and colorful thing full of possibilities. The Amiga users I knew were different, too. |

With this piece of software, you can play a lot of oldschool music format from the old times, such as the Amiga (which was the original purpose of this player), Atari, C64, Nintendo, Sega... As a maniac collector, it started to get very annoyed to keep up to date with newer songs from an artist, check for songs duplicates, and also some missing playback functionalities. So I started to write my own player, first to play default modules from the amiga using ImGui (for the interface), OpenMPT (to play amiga modules) and libcurl (to handle the downloads from the websites). |

In a recent video, [Chris Edwards] delves into the past, showing how he turned a Commodore Amiga 3000T into a wireless-capable machine. But forget modern Wi-Fi dongles—this hack involves an old-school D-Link DWL-G810 wireless Ethernet bridge. You can see the Amiga in action in the video below. [Chris] has a quirky approach to retrofitting. He connects an Ethernet adapter to his Amiga, bridges it to the D-Link, and sets up an open Wi-Fi network—complete with a retro 11 Mbps speed. Then again, the old wired connection was usually 10 Mbps in the old days. |

In 1986, a group of NASA engineers faced a difficult choice in solving their data processing woes: continue tolerating the poor performance of PC architecture, or pony up the cash for exotic workstations. It turns out that the Commodore Amiga was an intriguing third choice, except for the fact that, paradoxically, it didn’t cost enough. Oh, and Apple wanted nothing to do with any of it. |

{Translated Czech} Even though the Sam460ex has been with us for almost fifteen years, it is a bit of an inconspicuous computer in the AmigaNG world. You won't find almost any blog or review about it. Maybe just a few videos on YouTube. And yet this computer is exceptional in several ways. So since I have had its latest version, the Sam460LE, since last year, I will introduce it a little. |

We have two entry-level computers to choose from: in 2023, ACube launched a new version of Sama460 - Sam460LE, and this year, after a long journey full of vicissitudes, AAA technology also introduced A1222 Plus. Concurrence of two computers of the same category is something completely unusual in the AmigaNG world, therefore it is often discussed which of them is which and who is better. |

Almost any modern PC is capable of recording sound. I mean, even the sound interfaces that are part of the mother board nowadays have microphone connectors as well as line-in connectors. This was different in the days of the Amiga when a PC by default could only beep. At least each Amiga came with stereo line-out connectors that allows it to playback audio, but unfortunately none came with audio inputs. To be able to record sound on your Amiga additional hardware needed to be purchased. This article describes one example of such hardware, the "sampling cartridge" for the Amiga. |

Using serial to transfer files. When i was setting up my amiga, i needed a way to get files onto floppy disk. My first instinct was to look up how people used to do it or how people do it now. The first suggestion everywhere was to use Amiga Explorer and a null-modem cable or parallel laplink cable. I had the cable already but being me, i didn’t want to pay for an out of the box solution. I settled on the opportunity cost of DIYing it with free resources was my way forward. |

I was lucky and got hand on a Commodore A1060 "Sidecar". This first part is about the teardown of the Sidecar, and the damage assessment. But what is a Sidecar? When Commodore released the Amiga 1000, its graphics and sound capabilities were unmatched in that price range. However, because the machine was based on the Motorola 68000 processor, users were unable to run existing MS-DOS software on the machine. |

The « Commodore » path, going down the JMS rabbit hole, and their Multitrack Composer. Will there be more parts? Who knows? I sure don’t! |

Today I’m starting a series of articles which is no less about passion and nostalgia, but tries to go further behind the curtains, and talks about the ones who made soundtracking possible: Mr. Obarski of course, but also those who inspired him (and those who, in turn, inspired them). |

So, where were we? In part 1 of this series, we learnt more about Karsten Obarski, who became the « Father of the Soundtracker » at age 22. Through existing interviews, we got to understand where he came from, how he came to create his Ultimate Soundtracker tool on Amiga in 1987, why he called it quits a few months afterwards… and where he probably took his inspiration for The Ultimate Soundtracker. |

Disregarding the specific intent of the designers, though, I also think it’s interesting to repeat the exercise moving from the Atari 800 to the Amiga 500; many of the Amiga Original Chip Set’s design decisions around sprites feel like reactions to pain points when developing for the 800, while a few others feel like they’re preserving some old design decisions in the Ataris. |

squirtd is a small server (the executable is less than 5kb) that lets you remotely manage your Amiga over TCP/IP using set of command lines tools running on a modern system. This project has two main purposes for me. I want to be able to quickly transfer, install and automatically test games that I am developing on various Amigas from Makefiles; and incrementally back those Amigas up into git repos. |

There are plenty of accelerators for big-box Amigas, some fits fine to all Amiga models such as Cyberstorm MK2 and 3, some are especially designed for A3000 (G-Force 040), another ones only for A4000 (Cyberstorm MK1) and some only for A4000T (QuikPak 4060). Amiga 4000T is big and spacious so ideal for any kind of cpu accelerator. I thought QuikPak is the only one accelerator designated for A4000T only. Until now! |

Almost everyone who has used an Amiga has seen the flashing red box on a black background, with some cryptic text, and known that whatever they were doing is now gone. This was shown when the computer experienced an error that it could not recover from (crashed to use the more common terminology), and the cryptic text gave an idea of what had gone wrong. Most people just pressed the left mouse button, which would then restart the machine, and go back to whatever they were doing, often cursing the guru. |

Painting a reproduction from life is a challenge. At least, it is for me. It gets even harder when you’re trying to paint from life and combine in additional elements to the piece. It makes it even harder when you need to do this at least 30 times a second. It gets even harder when you’re a silicon chip and you can’t even hold a paintbrush! One of the great things about the custom chipset in the original Amigas (the Original Chip Set, or OCS, and the Enhanced Chip Set, or ECS) are the tools they have to do 2D graphics very, very well. Agnus, the controller of Chip RAM, comes equipped with a tool called a blitter, whose purpose is to copy big blocks of memory around in Chip RAM very quickly. |

The Amiga was a marvel of computing at release, with a custom set of processor chips that took over audio, video, and I/O from the CPU, allowing the computer to do so much more than other machines of the era. These custom chips - Agnus, Denise, and Paula - made the Amiga the Amiga, and when the Amiga first came out, all of the RAM in the machine was made accessible to them, to really show off the machine’s potential. The RAM these custom chips had access to was called Chip RAM, ‘cause the custom chip Agnus, and not the CPU, managed access to that memory. My first real computer, an Amiga 500, came with 512KB of Chip RAM. Back then, this was a lot, but, as with all things computers, memory needs steadily grew, and the 512KB it was released with in 1987 quickly became insufficient. |

What is Amithlon and how did it ended up being the biggest legal debacles of the Amiga scene? It’s a Linux and latter QNX kernel based emulator. The beauty of Amithlon comes from the fact that the software had direct hardware access and custom chip emulation disabled the Amithlon outperformed the almighty A4000. |

Long before the Internet escaped from the lab, connected the planet and redefined what it meant to use a computer... there was a brave and pioneering band of computer users who spent their time, money and sanity setting up their home computers and phone lines to welcome anyone who called. By using a modem, anyone else who knew the phone number of these computers could connect to them, leave messages, send and recieve files.... and millions did. They called these places "Bulletin Board Systems", or BBSes. And their collections of messages, rants, thoughts and dreams became the way that an entire generation learned about being online. When the Internet grew in popularity in the early 1990s, the world of the BBS faded, changed, and became a part of the present networked world.. but it wasn't the same. In the Summer of 2001, Jason Scott, a computer historian (and proprietor of the textfiles.com history site) wondered if anyone had made a film about these BBSes. They hadn't, so he decided he would. |

It has just arrived so I thought I'd document the learning process now so that when I need to use it, I can just refer back to these notes instead of having to try and piece it together.

We spoke with developer Svein Berge, as well as another Svein Berge, about Twintris on the Amiga. In 1990, the German publisher Digital Marketing released an Amiga game called Twintris. It was essentially an attempt to recreate the legendary puzzle game Tetris, but specifically inspired by Atari’s arcade version of Tetris. As a result, much of the focus was on two players competing against each other simultaneously on a split screen. |

The Amiga too has its own standard BASIC. In the early days it was the universally disliked AmigaBASIC. This disappeared from Amiga packs, and was not replaced by Commodore. At the same time, a new type of program appeared. AMOS was BASIC-based, but utilised the Amiga’s own custom hardware to provide a programming language which was not only easy to learn and understand, but extremely powerful too. AMOS has come to be accepted as the Amiga’s ‘standard’ BASIC. Although it can be used to program just about any application under the sun, its main strength (and the reason for its huge popularity) is its abilities as a games creator. The results can be stunning. |

The 27C400 UV EPROMs have compatible pinout with ROMs used in many computers and electronics from the 1990s. The Commodore Amiga 500/A600/A1200 and Acorn A3020/A4000 all used this ROM pinout.

Using a PC oriented keyboard, and especially, one with a touchpad, can present challenges when used on an Amiga. In this blog, I'll outline the challenges, and present my solutions to make this keyboard very usable with the A1222 Plus. Many of these tips apply to other keyboards with other models of computers running AmigaOS4. |

So, in this entry, I'll provide an in-depth review of MediaVault v1.5.1 written by George Sokianos, who has made many great contributions to the AmigaOS4 community. I'll also cover using it with mediavault script version 1.6, which I wrote to allow choosing an audio player or saving the stream via a requester. MediaVault v1.5.1 is an AmigaOS4 program that allows you to search for and play streaming radio stations as well as podcasts. |

Quite a long time ago, Vim development started on the Amiga. Although it's a really old system now, it might still work. However, this has not been tested recently. You may have to use an older version for which Amiga binaries are available. For Vim 5.x and Vim 6 look in the amiga directory (ftp). Vim 7 files can be found at os4depot.net. This is for AmigaOS 4. Made by Peter Bengtsson. |

TL;DR Firefox with TightVNC server in a Docker container. I often work on vintage Unix Workstations and other obsolete systems. I have a need to browse modern web on old computers somehow. Enter VNCFOX – a Firefox browser with TightVNC server packaged as a Docker container. It’s small, lean, easy to run and there is no boot time and lengthy updates. |

WarpWebP.datatype is a datatype which allows you to view and read WebP image files. As far as I know, this is the first WebP datatype for AmigaOS 3.x or MorphOS. A unique feature of this particular WebP datatype is that in addition to supporting the 68k (with optimized versions for 020, 030, 040 and 060), it also supports the PowerPC processor, with native OS4, WarpOS and MorphOS versions. |

In the last week, an Amiga 1200 was dropped off at my workshop to be repaired. That isn’t unusual, but the faults were unusual enough that I thought I should blog about them. The Problem... Just the motherboard was brought to me, and I was told that it would work for 15 minutes and then crash to a black screen. Sure enough, when I tested it, I could only run it for about 15-20 minutes at most. |

At it’s core Capitoline (Cap) is an Amiga kickstart editor, but like any software project, it’s grown arms and legs, added features which may or may not be useful to everybody. Main features: You can load ROMs in various different formats, decrypt, extract from ADF etc. Once loaded you can take a ROM apart, “ROMSplit” into modules then you can put a new ROM together “add” from these modules or other ROMs and ADFs. You can patch ROMs to change text or behaviour. You can save ROMs for burning to EPROMs (byteswap, interleave, split). You can create skick files for softloading Kickstarts or use within WHDLoad {and much more} |

Ranger was to be the next generation Amiga, which the original West Coast Amiga engineers began working on in 1986-87, following the release of the Amiga 1000. Jay Miner improved the graphics chipset for Ranger to address the twin problems of chip (i.e. Graphics, Sound, DMA) RAM memory space and bandwidth in the Amiga 1000. |

A Guru Meditation Error is a critical error message that originally appeared on Amiga computers, signaling a system crash akin to the "blue screen of death." It was an imaginative way to indicate that the system encountered an irrecoverable issue. Though it was primarily linked to the Amiga, the term has found new life in modern computing, most notably in VirtualBox. |

Retro gaming is all the rage these days, with many gamers returning to classic consoles to relive the glory days of gaming. However, with modern TVs and monitors, the image quality of these classic consoles can be lacking. This is where an HD upscaler comes in – a device that takes the low-resolution output of retro consoles and upscales it to high definition. |

Inspired by this question, I'm curious what burst mode was on the 68030 and why wasn't it supported on the A2630 accelerator card commonly found in the Amiga 2500/30? I had one of these machines and always enabled burst mode and was under the impression it did something. |

WHDLoad is an entirely software-based system designed to allow users to quickly and easy launch floppy-based games and demos and have them accurately run on the entire range of Amiga hardware. It was originally released in 1996 to address the issue of games running improperly or not at all on more recent Amiga systems featuring more powerful MC680x0 CPUs, the more advanced ECS and AGA custom chipsets, and newer versions of AmigaDOS. |

iWith WinUAE, you can emulate every official Amiga variant as well as a huge range of third-party peripherals such as accelerator cards, RAM expansion & custom ROM images. It is without a doubt, the standard when it comes to Amiga emulation on the PC. Setup on Windows is very straightforward, it comes with pre-loaded configurations, so you can simply select the Amiga you wish to emulate. All you need to do is provide a floppy disk image of a game to get up and running. Also, be sure to check out our guide to the greatest Amiga games, to get inspiration on what to play first on WinUAE! |

As many of you are probably aware, I am one of the developers of wolfSSL. I specialise in porting to various platforms, everything from 16bit microcontrollers to big iron 64bit server processors. I decided to see if I could get wolfSSL running on a 30+ year old platform, specifically “Jops”, the Amiga 4000 I just finished restoring. |

Magicore Anomala is an Amiga game I'm working on. I made Doki Doki Literature Club using Ren'Py, a Python-based visual novel engine that has some staggering capabilities. But thinking about it, there are tons of games with visual novel-like dialogue features—maybe even the majority of them at this point. How is dialogue implemented in these games? Do most of them use existing dialogue scripting libraries, or are they more often spinning up their own solution? I have no idea, but given the extremely specific features and limitations of Magicore, I had no choice but to create my entire stack from scratch (like literally everything else in the game engine). |

Traditionally, most Amigas were intended to boot from a floppy disk. . An Amiga can readily make its own boot floppy, but only once it’s already booted up. If you don’t have a floppy ready to go, you’re out of luck, as PCs can’t readily make them for Amigas. [Roc] whipped up the amigaXfer bootstrapping method to solve this very problem. |

Attention hardware manufacturers. If you are developing a hardware expansion product for the Amiga then you will need to obtain a special manufacturer ID number from Amigan Software to identify your product. This manufacturer number is used by the Amiga to link your hardware with its driver software at boot time. Your manufacturer number is part of the special protocol that the Amiga uses to automatically configure all expansion devices on the bus without the user having to cut jumpers or adjust dip switches. This is called auto-config. |

His regular releases of his Zeb’s WHDLoad contain pretty much everything you need to enjoy nearly every game, demo and disk magazine so far converted for WHDLoad all contained in a single 16GB Amiga disk image. Simply download the file and write it to your Amiga’s hard disk using Win32Disk Imager. |

The next build for my Amiga 500 was a Zorro II Card Slot Adapter. This unit uses the expansion slot on the left-hand side of the Amiga (just like the external IDE adapter) and provides a vertical slot to plug your Zorro II card into. It also has a standard floppy power plug and circuitry to choose this supply if provided, otherwise use power from the Amiga itself. |

The release of Doom was a great day for PC users. For Amiga users, however, it was just another nail in the coffin. FPS games were uncommon on the Amiga, and John Carmack himself said that the Amiga just wouldn't be capable of running Doom. But the Amiga community just wouldn't take no for an answer. A select number of games were released for the system including Gloom, Fears, Alien Breed 3D and Alien Breed 3D 2: The Killing Grounds... So here I am introducing my devlog for a total conversion project of Alien Breed 3D 2: The Killing Grounds (TKG) for GZDoom. |
