AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup - October 2023

Hi there,

With November almost here, it is once again time for another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! Hope you'll enjoy it!

Have a nice day and thanks for reading!

Wow, this is a long list, seems a lot of things happened in October. Finally QEMU made it in your news too but it has no mention of my page on this:
http://zero.eik.bme.hu/~balaton/qemu/amiga/ (or "qmiga.osdn.io" for short while that still works). It will be 10 year anniversary next year that I've started working on running Amiga like OSes with QEMU so maybe I deserve to be mentioned.

@AmigaOldskooler

It's remarkable how well you put together the monthly reports. It gives people a good insight into what's happening around AmigaOs4.1 in terms of software and hardware.

If I didn't follow the news every day for a month, I wouldn't have to miss anything thanks to the monthly report and would still be up to date.

The Amiga trade fairs in October rounded things off a bit. Even if many things remained unanswered. I'm already looking forward to the November report. Regardless of the fact that I am mentioned in these reports.

Great job as always, thumbs up.

@all

Again briefly about PT2-Clone, it's a great SDL2 tracker and people seem to like it, the sources are public and freely available, maybe someone could re-port it as a bug-fix release?

Hi, and thanks for the positive feedback both of you! Glad you enjoyed reading the roundup!

@balaton

I have updated the post with information about your work (and link to the website). Definitely should have been mentioned in the first place. I don't know much about QEMU yet, but will read more about it.

@AmigaOldskooler

I just checked this out for the 1st time and must say, I am impressed how you have consolidated a month's worth of stuff all for easy viewing.

Thanks for this. I plan on checking them out moving forward.

In the near future, Qemu, like WinUae, will have a small existence. With the support of Virtio it will get even better and perhaps also give people outside the mainstream scene the opportunity to enjoy AmigaOs4.1 to its full extent.

Thanks for the updated Monthly Report

Thanks for the roundup!

@AmigaOldskooler

Thanks for another monthly roundup

Thanks for the report! More happening in the scene than we all sometimes realize.

@AmigaOldskooler

Can you enable the ActivityPub plugin on your blog?
https://wordpress.com/plugins/activitypub

You should then be visible on the Fediverse at @amigaos4gaming.wordpress.com@amigaos4gaming.wordpress.com (I think that's how it works)

@AmigaOldskooler

Thanks for amazing roundup, as always!

The news of the A1222+ is disappointing but what I sadly expected.

One tries to remain polite in a public discorse forum.

What I think is more along the lines of
"WTF!!! HOW MUCH???? DOES IT COME WITH WITH GOLD PLATING?"

@AmigaOldskooler

Thanks for another update!

Great reading, with a lot of news. Thank you on it - it is a massive job!

@Mikey_C

Actually it does. It will definitly have an ENIG PCB surface finish and some headers might have gold plating as well

@AmigaOldskooler

Nice reading this as always.

Thanks to all for the feedback and the kind words! It is much appreciated!

@Chris

I have now activated Fediverse on my blog. Thanks for the tip!

@AmigaOldskooler

Well, I can see it but it sticks on "follow requested".
