@Thomas

Thanks for all the great software! It would be nice with not just version numbers, but also a column with release dates on the download page, makes it easier to spot new releases.

Btw - I have WBDock 2.912, but on the support page there's now just 2.907 - did you do a rollback?

New User Introductions / Long time Amiga user, returning home

« Last post by pfontaine2 on January 20, 2026, 04:58:46 PM »

Hi everyone. I was a long-time Amiga user and long-standing Westchester Amiga User's Group member, run by Bill Winters.

I owned an Amiga 500 until it stopped working after a few years, just in time to purchase an Amiga 1200 and take advantage of the increased color space for my 2D and 3D animation work. I worked as an animator for a company that made CD-ROM edutainment titles in the 1990s. While the office was using Autodesk Animator, the Amiga 1200 allowed me to work on files at home when needed insuring compatibility with all the VGA files I was creating. That company eventually closed in the late 1990s and I went on to do design work for other companies.

My Amiga was put away and eventually donated to Bill Winters (who still has it to this day). I've always remained interested and sought out various emulation solutions, eventually getting a lot of satisfaction running Aminimiga on my A500 Mini. I hope to reacquaint myself with DeluxePaint and other pieces of software I used when the Amiga was at its prime. Thanks for letting me into this community!

Hi there

Couldn't you create an image of that CD and tell Amiberry to include it?

I don't know Amiberry that well, but I'm sure it is possible to do that with FS-UAE e.g..

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS firmware update help

« Last post by NickLM71 on January 20, 2026, 03:51:53 PM »

Hi,

Is there anyway I can download an image for my a600gs? I've just tried to download the latest update, it displayed an error message regarding scummv, then went to a black screen. Now it's not booting at all, the red boot progress bar takes ages to fill, then it just sits there!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick.

Aladdin 4D General Discussion / Running Aladdin4D on an emulated Amiga

« Last post by pfontaine2 on January 20, 2026, 01:58:44 PM »

As a long-time owner of Aladdin4D, I've been trying to find a way to install and run Aladdin4D on Aminimiga on my A500Mini. I own a CD installation that I got from Discreet many years ago but no longer have an external CD-ROM to install. Even if I did, I'm not certain I could interface it correctly with Amiberry and my A500Mini. I found some installation ADFs online for version 3.0 which installed correctly. Unfortunately, the software refuses to run because it's looking for a copy protection dongle that the software required.

I really enjoy Aminimiga given all the amazing software that comes with it. I've been able to install a fair amount of software as well (all software I once owned) and would really love to be able to run Aladdin4D. Any thoughts about how to make this happen? I'm not certain if DiscreetFX is around anymore but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Have not tried it myself but NewMeter has the ability to display variables from ENV:

AK sensors are already configured in the default config of NewMeter.
There might be a newer version at https://thomas-rapp.hier-im-netz.de/download.html

If you have time - is there a way to fix the AK_Sensors_Display program so that it remembers where it was last positioned please? At the moment, it always opens in the top left, over the top of my disk icons.

AK_Sensors_Display was originally intended as a demo of how to read and display the values that AK_Sensors writes to ENV: hence it's fairly simple. I don't think there's a way for Intuition to remember the program window location in the way MUI 'snapshot' does, but it's probably possible for it to draw the window at a user defined X/Y location specified in icon tooltypes (which you can't do at the moment). I'll have a look in the weekend if I have some spare time.

Have not tried it myself but NewMeter has the ability to display variables from ENV: (and much more) so you could try that as a replacement for AK_Sensors_Display.

Look at the ENVGAUGE tooltype options. I don't know if it'll update the program window when the variables in ENV are dynamically updated or not, you'll need to try it and see.

G'day - For some reason your forum update did not show up for me until your second post - weird!?

But, I am very pleased to report that the update works, and I am now using your v1.3 rather than my hack - and I have purchased another RTC+Sensor module and two of your sensor cables as a result! Thank you very much!! This was a really critical fix IMO, and really makes a difference!

Love your work, and thanks again!

Impatient with no update with an option to set the base address

I sent an update within 12 hours which included a new build of the driver and documentation to include exactly that feature, for free. Were you expecting something sooner?

The code only contains the base address address in one place, so if hacking the binary works, then this new version that allows an optional user defined address should work as well. Can you confirm that works as expected?

Hello All,

Impatient with no update with an option to set the base address, I downloaded "Hex Fiend" for Mac OSX, did a search for D80001, and replaced the single instance at offset 1632 (overwrote) with EE0001 (the address of my clockport on my Zorrology card) - Sensor now works in my Amiga 2000 with my Zorrology card, yay! (Note - no RTC with this solution, just Sensors), the Zorrology card expliclty states it will not work for RTC, and thats ok by me)!

I don't see why this would not work for anyone as long as you know the address of your clockport. Tempted to buy another for my A1200 again now....
