  1. Linux front-end for Amiga games: First beta version of FloppyCase

    As the developer explains, "Getting classic Amiga games to work on Linux can be a complicated and techincally advanced process involving installing and configuring several libraries." With FloppyCase, this tedious work has already been done: once the application has been installed, all you need to do is add your games and purchased Amiga ROMs and you’re ready to go.

  2. Spielestarter: Pocket Launcher

    Der Pocket Launcher von José Manera, dem Autor des Macumba-Editors, dient ähnlich wie iGame dem Starten von WHDLoad-Spielen, welche neben dem Listeneintrag auch anhand ihres Titelbildes ausgewählt werden. Das Besondere: Es werden keine externen Bibliotheken, kein MUI, keine Datatypes oder andere Abhängigkeiten benötigt. Der Pocket Launcher läuft bereits auf einem Amiga 500, vorausgesetzt wird lediglich AmigaOS 2.x.

  3. Game launcher: Pocket Launcher

    Pocket Launcher by José Manera, the author of the MacumbaEditor, works similarly to iGame to launch WHDLoad games, which can be selected not only by their list entry but also by their cover art. What makes it special: It requires no external libraries, no MUI, no datatypes or any other dependencies. Pocket Launcher runs already on an Amiga 500 - the only requirement is AmigaOS 2.x.

  4. Moving my emulation setup into #Romm ... currently doing the first scan.

    Tried launching an #amiga title in the browser (one of the appeals of Romm) and it fails after decompressing the LHA for a #whdload format game. Hopefully it's a trivial debug, but it was not a confidence instilling beginning.

  5. Es ist halb 6 früh morgens. Ich installier mir grad mal kurz - nur schnell zum Testen - das neue WHDLoad Paket von "Lost Vikings" v2.1 auf Amiga OS 3.2. Ich sollte eigentlich gleich los ins Büro aber ...jaaaaa, gleich! 😜 ... Funktioniert!

  7. WHDLoad frontend: iGame 2.6.1 for AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS

    iGame is a MUI-based frontend for launching WHDLoad titles. George 'walkero' Sokianos has again made some changes to the open source program and released version 2.6.1:

  8. Oh, cool! Es gibt eine neue Version von iGame für die Amiga Workbench und WHDLoad! Muss ich nachher gleich mal testen! Ich find's ja mega cool, dass da auch noch im Jahre 2026 aktiv dran entwickelt wird!

  9. Just updated AmigaOS 3.2 to the latest WHDLoad v20.0 ... and tested it briefly with the all time classic "Beneath a Steel Sky". Looks like everything's still working perfectly! I'm running this on WinUAE 6.0.3. 😃

  10. WHDLoad: Version 20.0

    WHDLoad allows games, scene demos, and intros from cracker groups - which were originally intended for floppy disk use - to be installed on the hard drive. Changes in version 20:

  12. Oh crap! I just realized... being shocked really!.. I am a little behind on the latest WHDLoad release. Looks like I completely missed updating my WinUAE installation to version 19.2. Fortunately, this mistake can be corrected fairly quickly!

  13. Well this is a fun discovery! Someone called Stephen wrote a very nice #Gemini / #Gopher / etc client for #Amiga OS.

    I discovered this installed on the excellent
    #caffieneOS pre-configured system which I have started using instead of #Amikit for the speed and the pre-installed #WHDLoad games and demos.

    Neat Stuff!
