`25.Jul.2023` Amigaworld.net (forum)	Xbox: 201 Amiga games in stream with Antstream Arcade Owners of the Xbox game console from Microsoft now have access to 201 Amiga games via streaming, provided by the British provider Antstream. (Or "had access", respectively, since according to today's updated FAQ, Antstream Arcade has been "temporarily" removed by Microsoft from their store.) For the usage you can choose between a 1-year and a lifetime fee. The licensing of the games from Amiga Corporation by Antstream was announced last year at Amiga37, Evercade was mentioned as another licensee at that time. Antstream Arcade is also available for PC, Mac, Android and Amazon's Fire TV. (snx) [News message: 25. Jul. 2023, 12:25] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`25.Jul.2023` Seiya (ANF)	PDF magazine: REV'n'GE 148 (Italian/English) Besides the Italian original issue, the PDF magazine REV'n'GE ("Retro Emulator Vision and Game") is also available in English. The magazine's reviews compare, if available, the different ports of classic games to the various platforms of their time. Furthermore a focus is on rather unknown retro games. Amiga-related, the current issue is about Seek and Destroy, Star Crusader and Starglider. (snx) [News message: 25. Jul. 2023, 11:50] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`25.Jul.2023`	Proof of concept: Shoot 'em Up "Amiga E.D.F." The developer 'S0Y' (among others Temptations port for the CD32) has taken a look at the Shoot 'em Up Earth Defense Force, originally released for the SNES, and tested if an implementation and continuation on Amiga-AGA computers would be possible (YouTube video). The game, which is explicitly not intended to be a pure port, should have the following features: 32 colours with "AGA features" 020/14 MHz 25 FPS CD32 audio-tracks 1300 Kb RAM used so far (672 kb Chip + 628 Fast) (dr) [News message: 25.

`24.Jul.2023` ALBs Blog	Program for DeepL use: AmiTranslate 0.2 Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's programme AmiTranslate (video) serves as a link to the translation service DeepL and is available for AmigaOS, AmigaOS 4, AROS (x86, x64, ARM) and MorphOS. In version 0.2 some bugs have been fixed: the scrollbars for the text edits now work and pdf documents do now care about returns or line wrap. Additionally, an user suggestion was implemented: a context menu for both edits to copy and paste text. Besides an SSL-secured internet connection (OpenSSL3 under MorphOS resp. AmiSSL for the other systems) the program also needs the MUI class texteditor.mcc. (dr) [News message: 24. Jul. 2023, 16:44] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`24.Jul.2023` itch.io	Platform game: Rastan demo v0.32 Rastan was released in 1987 by Taito for arcade machines. A few days ago, we reported on the demo version of the Amiga port which is currently in development. The demo now was updated to version 0.32. Changes: Fixed: Jumping, swinging and then trying to do a downwards plunge mid-swing would glitch out the animation big-time. Grabbing onto ropes while doing a downwards plunge would cause Rastan's legs to think they were crouching and not climbing. The flying demon's legs would transplant themselves onto a different monster if his upper body went off-screen while the legs stayed in view. Fixed some enemies spawning in above ground if the player was still in mid-air at the time. A couple of bugfixes and tweaks for the lizardman and bat AI's. The HD version had issues with music and sfx playback on 68040 processors. Fixed with the latest Scorpion update. (dr) [News message: 24.

`24.Jul.2023`	Hall of Light: Relaunch of Amiga game database For a good week now, the Amiga game database "Hall of Light" has been presented in a new design. The most important changes: Readable game URLs e.g. https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/hunter instead of https://hol.abime.net/764 Game pages now have a Game->Version->Release structure instead of separate game entries. For example, Zool has three versions (ECS, AGA and CD32) and Driller/Space Station Oblivion are in one entry. New advanced game search and game listing. Responsive design that adjusts for desktop/tablet/mobile. New look and feel that tries to modernise but keep the old colour scheme, tabs etc. In-page game info/screen/file editing for editors/admin. DBSs are split into two screens alongside each other (horizontal for desktop, vertical for mobile). Default screen size is doubled to 640x512. Artist credits can have roles alongside. Features (programming language, enhanced features, graphics, sound) moved out of Quickmatch to separate section. If you don't like the new design, you can access the old design at https://oldhol.abime.net/. However, this will no longer be updated. (dr) [News message: 24.

`23.Jul.2023`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.15 / Firmware 1.4 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 1.15 of Greaseweazle Tools as well as version 1.4 of the Greaseweazle firmware add a new board type: V4.1 (AT32F4xx, USB-C). (dr) [News message: 23.
