Deluxe Galaga - Amiga version Reborn
One of the projects I'm proud to be part of is a classic Amiga game called Deluxe Galaga.
We are in the process of completing this game for the (Linux, Mac, PC) platforms.
Coming Soon - Amiga Game for 68k and AmigaOS
This project has been slowly cooking away over the last few months and something I have been wanted to do for many years. (Complete a game on the Amiga and release it).
Here is a little tease of the 68k version.
Multicore and Amiga: Present and Future
Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) is on the wishlist of AmigaOS users for quite some time now, and while progress has been made, we’re still not there yet.
To explain the progress, let us first look at the concept, and then point to where we are in the whole.
First boot from virtual filesystem!
After implementing some more functions and some debugging, I am now able to boot from a virtual filesystem. All AmigaOS files are stored in a linux-native filesystem and mounted inside uae for AmigaOS to use:
Trying to use mini-box picoPSU-120 to power Amiga but -12v rail is out of ATX compliance
So I purchased a mini-box picoPSU-120 kit which is in essence a very very small power supply that provides multiple regulated voltages. I want to power my Commodore Amiga 500 with the tiny power supply but there’s potentially a big problem with using it out of the box: the -12v rail seems to be out of spec. It’s not being properly regulated to -12v.

A new work space
For several weeks now me and my wife have been busy redecorating our apartment in order to maximize our living space. It took a good while, but we are finally reaching the end. So I bought myself a new computer work space and chair. It’s much roomier than before:
Introducing AMISearch
AMISearch is a Google Custom Search I have built to search websites relating to AmigaOS 4 and the AmigaONE platform.
I decided to create this search engine to make it easier for AmigaOS 4 users to find information they need.
It is early days still but please feel free to try it out at www.amisearch.com and let me know your suggestions for websites and categories to add to the search. Thanks!

Results of the 2014 Amiga Games Award
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.
HottiesView on X1000
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.
Hyperion Says: “The news of our demise is greatly exaggerated”
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:
