ASM Magazine Issue 2025 Published |

ASM Magazine Issue 2025 Published
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:

Cameron Armstrong has developed a chat program called AmigaGPT, which is based on ChatGPT. The software supports the latest OpenAI models including the o1 family and runs on AmigaOS 3.1 and above (including 4.1) and on MorphOS. The source code of the tool can be downloaded separately.
The new version 2.12.0 has been now released. Changes:
Add "verse" OpenAI voice
Add ability for ARexx command "SPEAKTEXT" to save audio to file of various audio formats
The say.rexx script now asks if you want to play the audio or save to a file with audio format selection
Improve display of Text To Speech errors
Most ARexx parameters now use sensible defaults instead of reading from AmigaGPT config
Fix bug where conversation titles and ARexx SENDMESSAGE responses were enclosed in quotes
Download: AmigaGPT.lha (4,3 MB) (dr)

Hi all!
Have you ever found yourself installing the same program over and over again, on your different Amigas? You can now automate this process, even remotely, with TINAPAMA! 
TINAPAMA (TINAPAMA is Not A Package Manager) brings automated program installation to Classic Amigas. It differs from AmiUpdate on AmigaOS 4 and Easy2Install on MorphOS by providing a simple command line and decentralised program descriptions. TINAPAMA allows updating programs individually or in groups, physically or remotely.
A typical use of TINAPAMA would be to execute the following command to update AmiModRadio:
1.C:> TINAPAMA Utilitaires:Musique/Divers/AmiModRadio/AmiModRadio.tinapama
and TINAPAMA would parse the description file AmiModRadio.tinapama, download, unarchive, and copy the new files into Utilitaires:Musique/Divers/AmiModRadio, only if the local version is outdated.

Hello everyone!
I'm really happy to share with the Amiga community a playable demo of my game called "The Gate", it's around 1.5 hours of gaming if the player checks everything!
Quote:
The game is set in a dystopian future not too far from our own.
The player takes on the role of a private detective named Kal Debris, the owner of an agency struggling due to debt.
One day, he receives a job offer from a doctor at a famous research institute to investigate the disappearance of her friend and colleague.
The game is heavily inspired by "Mission Impossible" and "Project Firestart," but with my own ideas, gameplay mechanics, and an engaging story. |
You can enjoy the demo with your real Amiga or using an emulator, it should work fine with every Amiga that can handle EHB mode and is equipped with some fast memory.
An user has reported to have played the demo on his expanded A500+ @7 MHz without any issue, but I cannot guarantee that this speed is enough for some more complex levels that are in the late game.
The free public post is on Patreon with the download, as well as with some more details about the current development state. 
Please have the time to read the post and the included readme.txt file to better enjoy the game demo, I explain how you have to expect, the controls, how the saves work, and many other useful information.
Patreon public post
Let me know if there are problems, bugs, errors, typos, etc... so I can fix them.
It would be great if you could tell me what actual hardware you tested the game on.

Hi all!
Have you ever found yourself installing the same program over and over again, on your different Amigas? You can now automate this process, even remotely, with TINAPAMA!
TINAPAMA (TINAPAMA is Not A Package Manager) brings automated program installation to Classic Amigas. It differs from AmiUpdate on AmigaOS 4 and Easy2Install on MorphOS by providing a simple command line and decentralised program descriptions. TINAPAMA allows updating programs individually or in groups, physically or remotely.
A typical use of TINAPAMA would be to execute the following command to update AmiModRadio:
1.C:> TINAPAMA Utilitaires:Musique/Divers/AmiModRadio/AmiModRadio.tinapama
and TINAPAMA would parse the description file AmiModRadio.tinapama, download, unarchive, and copy the new files into Utilitaires:Musique/Divers/AmiModRadio, only if the local version is outdated.
TINAPAMA uses a description file to locate the remote version of a program and compare its version with the version in the local drawer. You can use ready-made description files or create your own. The drawer being updated is the drawer in which the description file, typically ending with .tinapama (e.g., AmiModRadio.tinapama above), is located. In addition to any file updated by TINAPAMA, a new file called TINAPAMA.data will be created/updated in the drawer to contain local version information.
TINAPAMA works, of course  , with Aminet packages: with or without the Version: field in their READMEs, with or without top drawers in their archives. It also works with packages in GitHub and should work all the same with packages in BitBucket, codeBerg, or SourceForge! It is open source.
Get it here:
- First public release, which implements all the options that have been useful to update more than 100 programs on my A4000!
- Read-made description files for hundreds of programs!
More info. here. All questions, comments, and bug reports are welcome! 
Full disclosure: I intend to submit TINAPAMA to the Amiga 40 Tools Jam 2025!
Cheers!
