On July 19 2025, a massive Icon Theme Pack
by JTDigitalDesigns (Jari Tuovinen) is released, it is called Infinite Icons Theme Pack.

It features nearly 6,000 brand-new DualPNG icons, primarily designed for AmigaOS 4,
but also perfect for AmiKit users and other platforms that support this icon format.

See more about what it's all about and order for yourself here:

These look damn fine, :).
Already paid, ;) and downloading.

VIDEO > Amiga 40th Anniversary: A Celebration with Friends!

Join me as I attend the Amiga 40th Anniversary Event at the Centre For Computing History, in Cambridge UK. RJ Mical was to attend, along with famous game devs of the era. Even better, the venue would be stacked with vintage electronics and amazing vintage computers, from Mini Computers, to games consoles. Lets have fun on my computer history museum tour!

Sounds cool. Just to understand correctly. Are you saying RJ was going to attend, but is not now?

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: Battery Powered Amiga ..

Yes, it is technically possible to power an Amiga A1200 using rechargeable dry cell batteries, though it’s not common due to power limitations. The A1200 requires stable 5V (around 2A) and 12V (around 500mA), which can be achieved using battery packs with step-up/down voltage regulators. While AA NiMH cells can be used, they are bulky and may not supply enough current for reliable operation. Li-ion batteries (like 18650 cells) are a better choice, often used by hobbyists to create portable Amiga setups with custom voltage regulation. These projects have been done before and shared on forums and YouTube. However, care must be taken to provide clean, sufficient power and ensure battery safety.

Why have you revived a 13 year old thread.

How do you get the 12v and -12v for audio circuit / floppy?
Would be a pointless exercise, considering all the messing around to get extra voltages.

Far easier to use an emulation solution, running on a SoC. I have powered my SoC emulated Amiga enviroment and 14" monitor off a 20,000whr battery for over 5 hours.

There's also a new card, AmiGUS, that's close to being finished. Alinea has it listed but not avaliable yet. So yes, there are alternatives.

Hi,

I'm Gustavo, a ScummVM developer working on the freescape engine reimplementation. I recently fixed a number of bugs in the Driller (also called "Space Station Oblivion" in the US) release for Amiga (and the AtariST as well, since they share a lot of features) and I'm looking for testers to play the game, and report issues (either here, the bug tracker: https://bugs.scummvm.org/ or directly to me)

Before starting, make sure you follow the steps to extract the game files from your original discs: https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Driller#Amiga_releases

If you don't know own the game, but still want to play, there is a demo available that you can try: https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/freescape/driller-amiga-demo.zip (to make the demo playable, check the box called "disable demo mode" in the game settings, otherwise the original one is non-interactive).

Very important: please use the latest revision from the daily build https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds (ScummVM latest Branch master). You can also compile the code yourself from the git repository.

Finally, I have attached a couple of screenshots of how it looks right now (running in 4K/60FPS using OpenGL).


Happy drilling!

You can order them from the builder - 8Bitdreams on Amibay. Dont think he sells them via other channels like eBay - least Ive never seen them on there. Need to be a member of Amibay, though.
