Happy to share the new release of canaryusb; right now apart of sending a mail via #canaryToken powered by @ThinkstCanary the new feature deauth_devices (on config file or on cli argument `-d`) allows to de-authorize a USB device attached that does is not on the trust devices list.
https://github.com/carvilsi/canaryusb/releases/tag/v5.1.0
The de-authorize thingy based on https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.15/usb/authorization.html#usage
Of course this new feature requires to execute it as root user (all the thing explained on README if you want to run it as a service)
Also fixed a bug related with cli args parsing ;)

One correction: according to a forum discussion, Stream Deck *can* run shell scripts but they have to have a platform specific extension, like *.sh on Linux and Mac. #WTF
BUT: It will not run shell scripts with cli arguments/parameters. So you maybe will have to create a wrapper script wich calls the real script with preset parameters. #badum

#hsml now has the ability to read a file from the command line and create an HTML file from it 🥳
At the current stage 🚧 of the project, I don't want to release the crate just yet, so you'll need to clone the repo if you want to try it
Then just run e.g. `cargo run -- example.hsml` and an `example.html` will be written (or panic 😜)
*The #cli arguments are subject to change at any time before an official release*
*It uses #clap under the hoo*d

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – July 2025
Greetings,
Welcome to a new post here on the Old School Game Blog!
Today, it is time for another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, where we will be looking into what has been happening in the community during July.
Even though it is summer time in the Northern hemisphere, there has been a surprisingly large amount of activity on several fronts.
I don’t want to spoil any news here in the introduction, so let’s get cracking with the roundup!
Software News
July started off with version 5.21 of AmiSSL being released. As mentioned in earlier editions of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, the AmiSSL project is a collaborative effort to develop a port of OpenSSL in a shared library for Amiga-based systems. The download is available here. If you are interested in the SDK, it can be found here. It is a must-have if you use AmigaOS 4 to browse the web!

Those of you enjoying pixel art will probably be thrilled to read that version 2.9 WIP of GrafX2 is available for download from OS4Depot, thanks to the work by Kas1e and smarkusg.
I did write about this version last month, but a new one appeared on the depot some time later, so I believe there have been some changes. Either way, I highly recommend downloading and checking it out; it is a great program.

Version 2.5 of Avalanche, a GUI for xadmaster.library using the ReAction gadget set, has been released by Chris Young. An overview of the changes since the last version can be found on OS4Depot. For full history, see documentation inside the archive.

A new version of the lightweight and powerful text editor Lite XL has been released for AmigaOS 4.1. This time it is version 2.1.8r1.
The port is being maintained by George Sokianos, a.k.a Walkero. The program itself was created by Francesco Abbate and the Lite XL team.
George Sokianos writes as follows about the new release on his Ko-fi page:
This new version is the first one that uses SDL3, the latest version of the SDL framework that powers it. Unfortunately, with that, there comes some slowdown in the editor that is visible with an increased CPU usage and having the scrolling and animations being slower. I put great effort the past 3 weeks profiling the code and providing all the necessary information to the original Lite XL team, as well as Capehill who is responsible for the SDL3 port to AmigaOS 4, and BeWorld who does the same for MorphOS.
If you’re interested in getting hold of the new version, it can be freely downloaded from OS4Depot via the link below:

Quite some time ago, I published the article OS4Depot Adventure – Part 2, where I looked into random games on OS4Depot. Here I made the discovery of an interesting game… It was part of a small bundle called Crap Games Vol. 8. Spot from Up Rough! has released 21 such compilations of software he has ported to AmigaOS 4. As it turns out, not all games included in the bundles are bad, since there are some gems in between! Hence, PC Maziacs. Due to the game itself being quite good (in my opinion), I felt it needed its own upload to become more visible and accessible. On Amigans.net, I received Spot’s permission to do this, so here it is, repackaged and with a new icon, hehe. 😀
PC Maziacs is a remake created by S. Romero for Windows and Linux in 2002.
Please click on the link below to visit the webpage of the project:
https://www.sromero.org/wiki/spectrum/proyectos/pcmaziacs
New modeBeing a remake, the game has an old-school mode where you can play the game like it was back in the day. It also has a modern mode with updated graphics.
Old-school modeThe game takes place in a randomly generated maze. Your goal is to find gold and then exit the level. To find the route to the gold, you can lean on specific icons of human prisoners in the maze, and then parts of the route will light up for a limited time. You can also find food that increases health, as well as swords. Beware, though, there are monsters everywhere, and if you lose the fight, you are dead. If you are uncertain where you are (it is a maze after all), you can press M to see a map.

SQLite is a Self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine. For information about SQLite, see the main README or check the site here: http://www.sqlite.org
This is small update to sqlite-3.34.0-amiga with a fix for obtaining the current date and time. The previous version was off by 8 years which is the difference between AmigaDos function DateStamp and Unix gettimeofday. Now ‘select CURRENT_TIMESRAMP’ returns the correct value.

On July 25th, DRIDI released version 9.0Final of the Arabic Console Device.
(version 9.0Final) “Version education&legacy” finished (for me) – CTRL_P for Parallel, launch a CLI[ArabicLauncher]. Don’t use RUN command and if changing the priority do that for the CLI process before launching the command. No more use “ArabicLauncher ARABCONX:” with a parameter, because CTRL_P do that. For changing the priority of the editor: “ChangeTaskPri 1 process=8” and in process 8 do: “Stevie/src/stevie” (put it in C: if you prefer).
Furthermore:
Add additional entries (duplicate lines) in L/mountlista i.e ARABCON4: to ARABCON9: are allowed.

Picture lent from GOG – https://www.gog.com/en/game/doom_64Now for some exciting gaming news… Doom 64 has been ported to AmigaOS 4! This is a special version of Doom developed and published by Midway Games for the Nintendo 64 back in the 1990s. According to Wikipedia, it is “(…) the second spin-off in id Software’s Doom series after Final Doom (1996), and the fourth game in the series overall.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_64).
Doom 64 EX+ is a community-driven continuation of Samuel “Kaiser” Villarreal’s original Doom 64 EX project. The primary goal of Doom 64 EX+ is to faithfully recreate the classic Nintendo 64 experience while incorporating modern features, extensive modding capabilities, and performance enhancements.
OS4Depot lists the author of the port and game to AOS4 fans from Mars… hehe.. 😀

BOING, a 10th Anniversary Issue
Boing Attitude never does things halfway, and this time, it’s going even bigger! You’ll get a 104-page issue, instead of the usual 52… And BOING is not only in French, but also in English! Oh my gosh! No, you’re not dreaming: you’ll have 104 pages all about the Amiga in every possible form to read. Why? Because a tenth anniversary is something to celebrate, but also, and especially, because in 2025, the Amiga turns forty!
In this issue, you’ll find an exclusive interview with Timothy De Groote, the new head of Hyperion Entertainment. This is his first public statement since taking over as head of the publisher of AmigaOS 3.2 and 4.1, and we asked him all the questions—even the tough ones (justice, THE A1200…). There’s also a feature on Mirari, the new PowerPC motherboard designed for AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 3.20. We’ve also tested the A600GS and even compared it to the THEA500 Mini. Hot off the press, we’ve also played the brand-new Krogharr. And of course, the demo scene is not forgotten with an interview with the Batman Group and the legendary Moby… El Mobo!
Of course, there are tons of other articles to read in what is the largest print magazine fully dedicated to the Amiga in at least twenty years. So, what are you waiting for to join us?!
BOING is a magazine dedicated to the Amiga computer, whether original (“classic”) or new generation. It deals with all its variations or rather variants ;): AmigaOS (1.x, 2.x, 3.x), AmigaOS 4.1, MorphOS, AROS, and ApolloOS.
BOING, the Amiga in all its variants!

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – July 2025
Greetings,
Welcome to a new post here on the Old School Game Blog!
Today, it is time for another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, where we will be looking into what has been happening in the community during July.
Even though it is summer time in the Northern hemisphere, there has been a surprisingly large amount of activity on several fronts.
I don’t want to spoil any news here in the introduction, so let’s get cracking with the roundup!
Software News
July started off with version 5.21 of AmiSSL being released. As mentioned in earlier editions of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, the AmiSSL project is a collaborative effort to develop a port of OpenSSL in a shared library for Amiga-based systems. The download is available here. If you are interested in the SDK, it can be found here. It is a must-have if you use AmigaOS 4 to browse the web!

Those of you enjoying pixel art will probably be thrilled to read that version 2.9 WIP of GrafX2 is available for download from OS4Depot, thanks to the work by Kas1e and smarkusg.
I did write about this version last month, but a new one appeared on the depot some time later, so I believe there have been some changes. Either way, I highly recommend downloading and checking it out; it is a great program.

AmiUpdate V2.58 has been released! A new full archive is available from the official downloads page.

An updated version, 3.5, of the YouTube URL Extractor Script by Michael Trebilcock was released on July 4th. YT.rexx is a script for providing direct video and audio links from YouTube URLs. Changes from the previous version include:
3.5 – 4th Jul 2025:
- Compatibility fixes.

A new version of the lightweight and powerful text editor Lite XL has been released for AmigaOS 4.1. This time it is version 2.1.8r1.
The port is being maintained by George Sokianos, a.k.a Walkero. The program itself was created by Francesco Abbate and the Lite XL team.
George Sokianos writes as follows about the new release on his Ko-fi page:
This new version is the first one that uses SDL3, the latest version of the SDL framework that powers it. Unfortunately, with that, there comes some slowdown in the editor that is visible with an increased CPU usage and having the scrolling and animations being slower. I put great effort the past 3 weeks profiling the code and providing all the necessary information to the original Lite XL team, as well as Capehill who is responsible for the SDL3 port to AmigaOS 4, and BeWorld who does the same for MorphOS.
If you’re interested in getting hold of the new version, it can be freely downloaded from OS4Depot via the link below:
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=utility/text/edit/litexl2.lha
Quite some time ago, I published the article OS4Depot Adventure – Part 2, where I looked into random games on OS4Depot. Here I made the discovery of an interesting game… It was part of a small bundle called Crap Games Vol. 8. Spot from Up Rough! has released 21 such compilations of software he has ported to AmigaOS 4. As it turns out, not all games included in the bundles are bad, since there are some gems in between! Hence, PC Maziacs. Due to the game itself being quite good (in my opinion), I felt it needed its own upload to become more visible and accessible. On Amigans.net, I received Spot’s permission to do this, so here it is, repackaged and with a new icon, hehe. 😀
PC Maziacs is a remake created by S. Romero for Windows and Linux in 2002.
Please click on the link below to visit the webpage of the project:
https://www.sromero.org/wiki/spectrum/proyectos/pcmaziacs
New modeBeing a remake, the game has an old-school mode where you can play the game like it was back in the day. It also has a modern mode with updated graphics.
Old-school modeThe game takes place in a randomly generated maze. Your goal is to find gold and then exit the level. To find the route to the gold, you can lean on specific icons of human prisoners in the maze, and then parts of the route will light up for a limited time. You can also find food that increases health, as well as swords. Beware, though, there are monsters everywhere, and if you lose the fight, you are dead. If you are uncertain where you are (it is a maze after all), you can press M to see a map.

On July 25th, DRIDI released version 9.0Final of the Arabic Console Device.
(version 9.0Final) “Version education&legacy” finished (for me) – CTRL_P for Parallel, launch a CLI[ArabicLauncher]. Don’t use RUN command and if changing the priority do that for the CLI process before launching the command. No more use “ArabicLauncher ARABCONX:” with a parameter, because CTRL_P do that. For changing the priority of the editor: “ChangeTaskPri 1 process=8” and in process 8 do: “Stevie/src/stevie” (put it in C: if you prefer).
Furthermore:
Add additional entries (duplicate lines) in L/mountlista i.e ARABCON4: to ARABCON9: are allowed.

BOING, a 10th Anniversary Issue
Boing Attitude never does things halfway, and this time, it’s going even bigger! You’ll get a 104-page issue, instead of the usual 52… And BOING is not only in French, but also in English! Oh my gosh! No, you’re not dreaming: you’ll have 104 pages all about the Amiga in every possible form to read. Why? Because a tenth anniversary is something to celebrate, but also, and especially, because in 2025, the Amiga turns forty!
In this issue, you’ll find an exclusive interview with Timothy De Groote, the new head of Hyperion Entertainment. This is his first public statement since taking over as head of the publisher of AmigaOS 3.2 and 4.1, and we asked him all the questions—even the tough ones (justice, THE A1200…). There’s also a feature on Mirari, the new PowerPC motherboard designed for AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 3.20. We’ve also tested the A600GS and even compared it to the THEA500 Mini. Hot off the press, we’ve also played the brand-new Krogharr. And of course, the demo scene is not forgotten with an interview with the Batman Group and the legendary Moby… El Mobo!
Of course, there are tons of other articles to read in what is the largest print magazine fully dedicated to the Amiga in at least twenty years. So, what are you waiting for to join us?!
BOING is a magazine dedicated to the Amiga computer, whether original (“classic”) or new generation. It deals with all its variations or rather variants ;): AmigaOS (1.x, 2.x, 3.x), AmigaOS 4.1, MorphOS, AROS, and ApolloOS.

AmigaOS 4 News – November 2024
Hi,
December 1st is here and it is (finally) time for a new post on this blog.
Thank you for visiting the Old School Game Blog and checking out this month’s AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup.
Some of you have noticed that I haven’t released any roundups for several months. There are many reasons, personal, health, and work-related, but now I’m back and ready to continue where I left off (almost). I’ve got less hardware than before, but I’m looking for a new, affordable setup to remedy the situation.
Now, let us have a look at the news. 🙂
Software News
First up in November was version 0.40 of the PDF generator Compression. This tool is being developed by Achim Pankalla. The goal is to make a PDF generator that is complete with WYSIWYG. Progress has been made since the last version and many errors have been fixed. You can download it here.
