Mirari: PowerPC alive in 2025?

It looks like a new, affordable PowerPC mainboard for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS (and Linux) is in development, nearing public release.

The beginning of project "Mirari" dates back to around May 2024. The first tangible news appeared a couple of weeks ago, at the end of April 2025, when "Mirari" specifications were announced on the "Hardware" channel of the Amigans Discord server, which got mentioned on long-running Amiga news website amiga-news.de.

Gemdalus - new game by RETREAM

Simone "RETREAM" Bevilacqua, who has released a nice round of great games, has just announced his latest creation.

"Gemdalus", very much like all other RETREAM games, looks stylish and polished, and has a nice soundtrack. The gameplay can be described as a blend of Pac-Man and Snake, with hints of Bomb-Jack and some remote Tetris-clone thrown it. In other words, it's a fast paced, easily accessible arcade style game, with an element of strategy. 

A very dirty Amiga 2500

Wow, that's a very dirty Amiga 2500.

Decades of dust and insects' body fluids (and probably some bodies, too) have settled on this Amiga 2500 case. If you want clean such a thing, make sure to not apply much rubbing and cleaning fluid to the label. It's basically paper with only a very thin layer of color coating, that comes off quite easily.

Update 3 for AmigaOS 3.2

The release contains a multitude of bugfixes and little enhancements, among which are updates to ReAction classes, TextEditor, DiskDoctor, HDToolbox, and some memory optimization that frees 12KB of ChipRAM.
