Demo reel...
I have just discovered that hostcove compiled a nice video of lots of demos running on Amiga X1000.
I was too lazy for a power demonstration like this one, so I kindly borrow his work... Enjoy!
(No, it is not Rickrolling, I promise! ;))
Big thanks to hostcove for his efforts!
DAPlayer
DAPlayer (Digital Audio Player) is a MUI based music player by Thomas Rapp who released version 1.12 a while ago. Unlike Jukebox (but like Aminet Radio) it can play Audio CD and a variety of Amiga music files, like MOD:s. As we shall see, this player still needs some work done before being able to compete with other players.
First you need to download the player from here. Extract it to where ever you like:

AMIStore released and new Applications for X1000
Today AMIStore App Store was released on AmigaOS4.1 - regular blog readers will know I have already tried out a sneak preview of AMIStore, but now I can run the released version, purchase and try out some of the new applications, drivers and utilities on my X1000!
Icaros Desktop 2.0 on Acer AspireOne ZG5 Netbook
This past week we finally see released the new Icaros Desktop 2.0 upgrade (AROS), so I was keen to try it out on my existing Icaros 1.5.4 installed netbook (I showed this at AmiWest 2014) - the Acer AspireOne ZG5.
Migration of this blog to Amiga X1000 Blog
After feedback from Amiga people at AmiWest 2014 regarding having two separate Amiga blogs, I have decided to maintain one Amiga blog moving forward covering all Amiga related topics, Next Generation and Classic Amiga.
To this end I have already migrated all the Classic Amiga blog entries (and comments, etc) to the main Amiga X1000 blog.
Please use the Amiga X1000 Blog from now on as no further blog entries will be posted on this Classic Amiga blog.
The single address to go to is:

Me And My Shadow on X1000
After watching Tekmage's games presentation at AmiWest 2014, I found one game that I hadn't tried out yet on my X1000! The game is called Me and My Shadow.

As it seems the Devil was in the Machine indeed:
somehow I managed to upload the Beta#4 archive renamed to Beta#5 for the AmigaOS4 package.
The file is corrected on SourceForge, please download it again from the Beta#5 folder:
CANDI Poster and Amiga.org stuff from AmiWest 2014
It is good to be back home again after the long flights home from AmiWest 2014.
Updated Prices from Acube: New motherboards even cheaper than reported
Okay, so the early numbers showed that a new SAM460cr (not sure of the speed at the time) was being listed at 620 Euros (nearly $800USD).
Now, the link to the Shop page on Acube’s website shows the updated pricing to be even better than before:
