COVID-19 "Corona" virus hampers Chinese economy, may stall Amiga Tabor launch |
| hardware OS4 posted by Petah on 24-Feb-2020 21:04:05 (637 reads) |
In a lenghty blog update posted by A-EON CEO Trevor Dickinson on Monday, February 24th, it is stated that production of the upcoming Amiga Tabor may get stalled because of the COVID-19 virus. Reported by various news sources, the pathogen has hampered the electronics business throughout southeast Asia. As reported by Dickinson, the low cost PowerPC-based Amiga manufacturing may also be affected by the virus, potentially pushing the production of the early edition pre-orders from this spring to the third quarter. Meanwhile, the 100 customers that have already bought AmigaKit's sold-out "AAA Bundle" are said to get the opportunity to sign up for pre-ordering the Tabor Early Edition sometime next week.
As no firm launch date has been announced yet, it remains to be seen if the Tabor Early Edition customers on the waiting list will have their new Amigas by this summer or at a later date. On a side note, it may be speculated that A-EON's ExecSG software team will use any additional time to further improve on AmigaOS before the Amiga Tabor's Early Adopter Program takes off.

Cloanto licenses Commodore 65 ROM to Mega 65 - Amiga licenses on the horizon? |
| Announcement posted by Petah on 22-Feb-2020 19:25:37 (431 reads) |
In a surprising announcement on Friday, February 21st, Cloanto - famous for its long running range of Amiga emulators - and the Mega65 Project announced that the two parties have come to an agreement regarding licensing official Commodore 65 ROM code for the upcoming Mega 65 8-bit computer, that fully clones the Commodore 65 using FPGA-hardware with a slew of enhancements such as Ethernet and HDMI connectivity. In a following comment, a Mega 65 spokesperson stated that preorders for the highly anticipated little brother of the Amiga 1000 is only weeks away.
This move may suggest that the Cloanto, currently involved with a legal battle with other parties claming ownership of the Amiga trademarks, will be open to similar deals concerning Amiga intellectual property once the ongoing court proceedings are finalized.

Good morning all Amigans,
After a short moment of absence, here I am back with some small updates and some new features (others will come as I spare).
I thank all of the people who have supported me despite my lack of activity lately, and also a big thank you for your patience to all.
Update of the EGL_Wrap Library:
First of all, it is strongly advised to update the EGL_Wrap library in its new version which brings a lot of fixes and improvements for your games.
All my old games (MiniGL) will go to EGL_Wrap library for your enjoyment, just be patient because there is integration work.
The game GISH can be seen in EGL_Wrap library, this allows you to work in higher resolutions without loss of FPS and better graphic quality just for your eyes.
Pacman-Arena game updates with the latest version of EGLSDL_Wrap library
The PINGUS game is seen in EGL_Wrap library, this allows you to work in higher resolutions without loss of FPS and better graphic quality just for your eyes.
Reborn to castle Wolfenstein updates with the latest version of the EGL_Wrap library for your enjoyment.
Return to castle wolfenstein updates with the latest version of the EGL_Wrap library for your enjoyment.
The game ZAZ is seen passing in EGL_Wrap, that allows you to work in higher resolutions without losses of FPS and a better graphic quality just for your eyes.
A new game to add to your list: the SOULFU game makes its appearance thanks to the latest version of the EGL_Wrap library.
I wish you all a great time with all these games.

Interest in the Amiga Tabor surges as AmigaKit sells out A-EON's AAA bundle |
| hardware OS4 posted by Petah on 23-Jan-2020 13:48:18 (1565 reads) |
Hot on the heels of 10+ Minute Amiga Cast's highly anticipated interview with A-EON's head honcho Trevor Dickinson, the UK-based Amiga retailer AmigaKit has announced that the A-EON AAA bundle completely sold out on January, 22nd. While the bundle includes both some basic hardware (such as an Amiga.org branded mouse) and software (like ImageFX and the Enhancer 2.0 software suite), it is essentially meant to serve as a way of letting interested Amiga users get first dibs on A-EON's upcoming Amiga Tabor - a brand new, PowerPC-based Amiga meant to serve as a cost reduced way of getting onboard the next generation of Amiga computers.
In an updated FAQ entry, it is stated that every single owner of the AAA bundle will get the chance to sign up for a Tabor motherboard as part of the Early Adopter Program. Early adopters are promised a "special introductory offer price" that is yet to be announced. Shipping of the ~100 units that are part of the AAA bundle offer will, according to the launch plan, start in Q2, 2020. After an undisclosed period of time thereafter, the Amiga Tabor is expected to be available to the general public.
