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!

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.

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:

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:

It is good to be back home again after the long flights home from AmiWest 2014. 

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:

Being able to radically change the look and feel has always been something I loved about the Amiga systems. No wonder, since Workbench 3.0 didn’t look pretty at all when you compared it to Windows 3.0:

Yes, yes, my dear friends: we are very close now! This is the final countdown indeed: the last beta before the final release of 1.0.

Are you excited? I bet you are. In the meanwhile download and enjoy the new beta:

It didn’t take long after writing my latest blog post before some nice reader showed me a better way to create a costum volume adjuster. If you havn’t already read that post and don’t want to, the premise is that there are no keys on the keyboard that adjust volume on MorphOS compatible computers (except Ibooks and Powerbooks). Therefore you need to create them yourself (unless you are OK with changing volume all the time with the mouse).
