AmigaBlogs

For the past few few years the Obligement web site have been running their annual Amiga Games Award, which aims to chart the most popular games released in the previous 12 months for either Amiga OS 68K, Amiga OS4.x, Morph OS or AROS platforms.

Each of the four charts are kept separate, meaning that there's no overall winner across all formats, and as this blog concentrates its coverage on the classic Amiga platform I'm only interested in the Amiga OS 68K chart.

Recently I was looking around at various image viewers for AmigaOS 4.1 on os4depot when I noticed the release of HottiesView and thought I would give it a go on the X1000.

Hello again,

This will be a super quick post.. I was following discussions on Amigaworld.net right after posting the news about the bankruptcy and Hyperion just made a statement in that thread:

Dear readers,Hyperion Entertainment, the company behind the AmigaOS 4 operating system, has been declared bankrupt. This is sad, unexpected news.

It appears that Hyperion Entertainment CVBA, the company responsible for the development of AmigaOS 4.0, 4.1 and the upcoming AmigaOS4.2 has been declared insolvent on January 27th, 2015.

Filesystems in uae are very dependent on interprocess-communication. While I really thought, I got this covered and right, somehow all those semaphores always got jammed somehow, resulting in a hang, as soon as the first AmigaOS filesystem packet reached the emulation code. AROS semaphores are just different than Windows Events, which have quite some more possibilities. So I had a look at fs-uae (isn't open source nice?) and found out, that obviously they had to struggle, too, as they provide glib, pthreads and sdl semaphore based uae implementations.

So thanks to Mike/amigamech for still having brand new stock of 5-pin A500 power connectors that he could ship quickly.

Hi guys,

Currently I don't have much time to work on WinUAE, but I tried to get the virtual filesystems working:

Here is a concept for a game thats completely drawn with coloured pencils. 

 It's a simple game. You fly a little ship that shoots butterflies, collect the Jems, exit and advance to the next level. (The black lines are only for showing butterfly paths)

Good evening all,

In Australia, our free national TV broadcaster ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) has a internet tv viewing service called iView. Today I want to take a look at iView v2.4 for AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition on the X1000.
