Lite XL – Lightweight and Powerful Text-Editing – Version 2.1.8r1 for AmigaOS 4.1 Released!

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂

A new version of the lightweight and powerful text-editor Lite XL has been released for AmigaOS 4.1. This time it is version 2.1.68r1.

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 the hold of the new version, it can be freely download from OS4Depot via the link below:

Best regards,

Puni

OpenJazz – Jazz Jackrabbit – Released for AmigaOS 4

Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂

When I visited OS4Depot today, I noticed that George Sokianos a.k.a. Walkero had released a new game port for AmigaOS 4. This time he brought over Jazz Jackrabbit to the platform! This is a fun and entertaining platform game series that was created and started by Epic Megagames back in 1994. After the first game, others in the series followed such as Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and Jazz Jackrabbit 3. You can read more about this on Wikipedia.

Walkero writes in the documentation:

This is the port of openjazz to AmigaOS 4.

OpenJazz is a free, open-source version of the classic Jazz Jackrabbit(TM)
games.

To play, you will need the files from one of the original games.

With the demise of DOS-based operating systems, it has become necessary to use
emulators to play old DOS games. Jazz Jackrabbit(TM) deserves more – and would
benefit greatly from new features.

Jazz Jackrabbit(TM) is a PC platform game. Produced by Epic Games (then Epic
MegaGames), it was first released in 1994. The fast-paced, colourful gameplay
proved popular, and the game won PC Format’s Arcade Game of the Year award.
Many people still fondly recall the shareware versions.

If you want to download the AmigaOS 4 port, please head over to OS4Depot by clicking here.

Keep in mind that you’ll need the data files. Walkero has tested the port with the data files from the games from GOG (Good Old Games). They currently have a -84% discount on the Jazz Jackrabbit Collection right now if you are interested. 🙂

New Version of Lite XL for AmigaOS 4.1 Released

Hi,

Thank you for visiting the Old School Game Blog.

A new version of the lightweight text-editor Lite XL has been released for AmigaOS 4.1. This time it is version 2.1.6R1.

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.

We can read the following news at Amigans.net:

“Today I released a new version of Lite XL, the code editor I have ported and maintained for more than 3 years now, for both AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. I love this editor, and I use it for coding on my Amigas all the time. That’s why I keep it up to date with the upstream changes done by the original team for other operating systems.

It was compiled with the latest SDL2 2.30.9 as well, and updated to the latest 2.1.6 upstream code.

As always, the new version is available from my personal Git repository, OS4Depot and the AmiUpdate.

More information and a way to donate, if you find this application useful, can be found at https://ko-fi.com/Post/Lite-XL-2-1-6r1-R6R616ZEC8“

Lite XL is also available for MorphOS. You can find it on the MorphOS Storage website.

That was all for now. Thank you for visiting my blog and for reading. Wish you all a great day! 🙂
