After almost 3 years of development Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 11: Coderise. Hollywood is a programming language that can be used to create a wide variety of programs, ranging from games and GUI-based applications for desktop systems to mobile apps for Android and iOS. Hollywood's special feature is its support for retro platforms (e.g. AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS) and modern operating systems (e.g. Windows, macOS, Linux) alike. It comes with a library of over 1000 commands and its functionality can be extended further through over 30 plugins which are available for free download.
Hollywood 11: Coderise is a massive update with lots of new features, optimizations and bug fixes. The most important new feature is that Hollywood 11 finally introduces a modular build system which will only link the libraries actually required by a script to the compiled program. This can drastically reduce executable sizes and is especially important on Amiga systems where memory is often limited. Hollywood 11 finally makes it possible to compile programs that fit on a single 880kb disk and run on a vanilla A1200! The new modular build system is made possible by a brand-new subsystem called Miniwood which, in contrast to Hollywood, allows scripts to only link the libraries actually required by the script to the output executable. Using Miniwood doesn't only have advantages for Amiga users but also for users of other platforms: For example, if scripts don't decide to load the display library, the program will also work on systems without X11, e.g. on pure terminal servers which was previously impossible.
Of course, the introduction of Miniwood isn't the only new feature in Hollywood 11. There are many other exciting new things in Hollywood 11. Here are just a few of them:
- introduction of Miniwood to massively reduce executable sizes
- sound stream export is now possible
- lots of new AmigaOS 3.2 features now supported
- new AmigaOS-specific extensions like backdrop windows
- support for the Linux arm64 platform
- several improvements concerning layer grouping
- audio recording support in different formats
- samples can be extracted from music streams
- optimized for Hollywood Designer 7
- much more convenient capture of console output
- much more effective compressor for smaller executables
- lower memory consumption (important on classic AmigaOS)
- tray menu support
- monolithic compilation now supported for macOS arm64 systems
- console mode supported on macOS as well now
- GDK support on Linux
- great enhancements for Android (scoped storage and MediaStore support)
- implemented several new plugin interfaces
- ready for at least 3 new Hollywood 11-exclusive plugins
- over 100 new pages of PDF documentation, 1380 pages altogether!
- lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes
Hollywood 11 is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on CD and as a download version. Both versions include Hollywood for all supported platforms. Buying Hollywood gets you a single-user license for all 17 platforms supported by Hollywood. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version.
Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, macOS, and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android and iOS platforms. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86, x64), macOS (x86, x64, arm64, ppc), Linux (x86, x64, ppc, arm, arm64), and Android/iOS with optionally available add-ons. You don't even have to own these platforms in order to compile executables for them. It's enough to run Hollywood on one of the supported platforms and then compile programs for all the others! Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.
All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 11: Coderise now!
This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair - the hardest working men in code business.

Happy new year and an advice from ACube |
| hardware OS4 posted by elwood on 3-Jan-2026 19:46:20 (353 reads) |
Dear customers,
We would like to extend our warmest wishes for a joyful and prosperous New Year to everyone. May this 2026 bring us peace, happiness, and exciting news and developments for our beloved Amiga community.
It’s been over 19 years since the introduction of our first board, the Sam440ep. Throughout these years, this little board has proven to be one of the most stable platforms for running AmigaOS 4, and it’s still performing exceptionally well! However, some of its components are starting to show signs of age. In particular, the onboard M9 Graphic Chip may require some additional care due to its age. We strongly advise all our customers who still use the Sam440ep Mini ITX to add a fan to the M9 Graphic Chip as soon as possible. This will help the chip manage the high temperatures and ensure it continues to work without any issues.
We’ve found the perfect fan for this purpose. It’s a 30x30 fan that you can screw directly onto the M9 heatsink. As you can see in the picture below, connect the fan to connector J17. You’ll need to connect the red wire to pin 1 and the black wire to pin 4 (pins 2 and 3 should remain empty).
We all want this wonderful old board to continue to function well until the arrival of our new motherboard.
See the picture on our web page
The ACube Systems Team

Amigatronics: Interview with Petro Tyschtschenko |
| News posted by amigatronics on 3-Jan-2026 12:51:52 (340 reads) |
Step back into the history — and the present — of the Amiga world with this in-depth interview with Petro Tyschtschenko, one of the key figures behind Commodore and Amiga Technologies.
From the golden years of Commodore in the 1980s to the fall of the company in 1994, Petro shares first-hand memories of one of the most important eras in computing history. We talk about the rebirth of the Amiga under Escom, the development of the Amiga Walker, the famous Amiga 1200 NOS stock story, and the many challenges faced along the way.
But this interview doesn’t stay in the past. Petro also reflects on the current state of the Amiga community, new hardware and operating systems, and how the platform has survived thanks to the passion of its users. We also explore his present-day work and what Amiga continues to mean to him on a personal level.
Whether you’re an Amiga veteran or discovering this legendary computer for the first time, this conversation is full of stories, insight, and history from someone who lived it all from the inside.

Reminder: ASM Magazine Issue 2025 Published |
| News posted by AndreasM on 3-Jan-2026 11:37:11 (312 reads) |
New German Issue 9/25 of the cult magazine ASM "Aktueller Software Markt" Now Available
The legendary German computer and games magazine ASM - Aktueller Software Markt is back with a new issue. What made history in the 1980s and 1990s as the first German-language multi-format games magazine lives on today – with a mix of retro topics, current game reviews, and exclusive interviews.
The new issue once again spans the spectrum from "re-testing" classics to current titles for all popular and exotic systems of the time. Returning are the familiar sections such as "Action Games" and "Adventure Corner," as well as new sections such as "Book Corner" and "In Focus," which offer previews of upcoming hits. It also features interviews with contemporary witnesses such as Stefan Piasecki, programmers such as Andreas Mettler, and cult figures such as Zak McKracken. This time, the hardware retro section focuses on the Game Boy, while in the chess section, Psion Chess ST competes against the legendary Amiga chess game Battle Chess, and in the horror cabinet, a Stone Age creation lurks.
The new issue, featuring 100 pages, includes 70 game reviews in the original, chaotic ASM layout. Anyone looking for a truly retro experience can order the magazine for the usual price of €8 from:

Dr. Dangerous – The Download version of the popular action game is here |
| software Classic posted by AndreasM on 12-Dec-2025 13:22:26 (340 reads) |
Dr. Dangerous – The Download version of the popular action game is here
We are pleased to announce the release of the Download-Version.
A download version of Dr. Dangerous is now available in our online shop. And of course, Phantom Leap as well.
Original announcement regarding the boxed version:
The revised version of the floppy disk edition offers, among other things, new difficulty levels – Easy, Medium, and Hard – with adapted game mechanics for more variety. For the first time, checkpoints can be set at any time in Easy mode, making the game more accessible and convenient. At the same time, the classic appeal for pros is fully preserved in Hard mode.
Four brand-new levels expand the adventure and provide additional fun. The music has also been reworked: none other than Barry Leitch (known for his work on Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others) and ZEKAVEO, who already made a name for himself with the soundtrack to the Android game The Mystical Quest, are responsible for the new soundscape, giving the game a dense, atmospheric soundscape.
Minor visual adjustments have been made to make certain sections more coherent, and loading times have also been significantly improved.
Another highlight is the multilingual localization: In addition to English, the game is now also available in German, French, and Spanish.
The boxed version also features a new title screen, a retro-style printed manual, and other thoughtful details that make the physical release a special experience.
