  1. Hyperion Entertainment y Amiga Corporation ponen fin a todos sus litigios legales

    Hyperion Entertainment BV y Amiga Corporation han anunciado la firma de un nuevo acuerdo que pone fin a las disputas legales que ambas compañías mantenían abiertas desde hace años. El pacto, alcanzado tras varios meses de intensas negociaciones, cierra definitivamente los procedimientos judiciales en curso y abre una nueva etapa para el desarrollo del ecosistema Amiga.

    La noticia supone un importante cambio de rumbo para una comunidad que, durante décadas, ha seguido con preocupación los enfrentamientos legales relacionados con la propiedad intelectual, los derechos de explotación y el futuro de AmigaOS. Los litigios entre ambas entidades habían generado una considerable incertidumbre en torno al desarrollo del sistema operativo y al papel que cada compañía desempeñaría en los próximos años.

    Timothy De Groote, director de Hyperion Entertainment BV, ha explicado que uno de los principales objetivos de la empresa desde el inicio de su actual dirección ha sido poner fin a unos conflictos que, según sus palabras, han consumido demasiados recursos y energía, dificultando el avance de AmigaOS.

    «Desde el principio de nuestra gestión hemos tenido un objetivo claro: poner fin a las demandas que, durante demasiado tiempo, han drenado energía y recursos del desarrollo de AmigaOS», afirmó De Groote. El directivo añadió que la compañía espera ahora completar el desarrollo de AmigaOS 3.3 y AmigaOS 4.2, con la intención de devolver el protagonismo a los usuarios y al sistema operativo.

    Aunque no se han dado a conocer los detalles concretos del acuerdo alcanzado entre Hyperion Entertainment y Amiga Corporation, ambas partes han confirmado que todas las disputas legales existentes han quedado resueltas. La resolución de estos conflictos podría facilitar una mayor estabilidad para los desarrolladores y para la comunidad de usuarios, que lleva años esperando avances significativos en las distintas ramas del sistema operativo.

    Con el nuevo escenario legal despejado, Hyperion ha manifestado su intención de centrar todos sus esfuerzos en la evolución de AmigaOS 3.3 y AmigaOS 4.2, dos versiones especialmente esperadas por los aficionados a la plataforma clásica de Commodore. La compañía confía en que el final de las disputas permita acelerar el trabajo técnico y recuperar el impulso de un proyecto que continúa contando con una comunidad activa en todo el mundo.

  2. AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Pegasos 2 – Now available digitally!

    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for visiting my blog! This morning while browsing through recent Amiga news, I was happy to discover that Hyperion Entertainment finally have made AmigaOS 4.1 FE for Pegasos 2 available digitally!

    This is excellent news, especially for those interested in running AmigaOS 4 through QEMU as a Pegasos 2 setup. 🙂

    According to Hyperion, more AmigaOS 4 versions will follow as physical stock runs out in stores. A price adjustment has also been made.

    Please read on for the press release published on their website:

    Brussels – September 9., 2025

    Over the past few months, we have seen a massive increase in demand for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Pegasos 2. Since all physical copies are sold out, we have decided to make the ISO available for digital purchase.

    The ISO can be purchased via 2Checkout. Once you have purchased your copy, you will receive a serial number that can be used to register at www.hyperion-entertainment.com.

    As stock of the other versions of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition runs out, they will also be made available for digital download.

    The price of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition has not been adjusted for almost 20 years, even though inflation and rising production costs have increased considerably. Therefore, the price of the digital download version of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Pegasos 2 is €39.95 including VAT.

    The price of the digital version of AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for Classic has also been adjusted to €39.95 including VAT.

    Thank you for your continued support of AmigaOS.

    That was all for now. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

After Hyperion Entertainment initially continued to be managed by a court-appointed administrator, the current register entry at the title link now lists Timothy De Groote again as director of the company. Anyway insolvency lawyer Bart De Moor remains responsible for Hyperion as the court-appointed liquidator:
