Something is cooking in #amiberry-land...

ZZ9000 SDK update: - zz9k.library done. - JPEG decoder done, including Datatype. - PNG decoder mostly done, including Datatype (transparent ones are not showing correctly yet). - mpega.library drop-in replacement done. - archive support (extraction-only for now) done, including CLI tool - […]

Now that we have stable FW/Drivers for the ZZ9000, it's time to start working on the most interesting part: native library to accelerate common operations using the second ARM core. Datatypes, mp3 players, C2P operations, are just some of the things that can benefit from this. #Amiga

ZZ9000 Drivers v2.1.0 is out for AmigaOS. New ZZFwUpdate tool, RTG/P96 improvements, Poseidon USB fixes, expanded ZZTop diagnostics, zznetstats firmware RX counters, and refreshed installer/docs. github.com/BlitterStudi...

ZZ9000 firmware v2.1.0 is tagged. Faster RTG paths, Ethernet and USB fixes, FWUP updates from AmigaOS, videocap fixes, FSBL safety checks, and rebuilt variants incl. ns-pal. github.com/BlitterStudi...

Directory Opus 5.101 is out: SFTP and UTF-8 FTP improvements, new OS3 68000 and AROS i386/x86_64 packages, LNFS/PFS fixes, OS3 titlebar/UI fixes, and `print.module` hardening. Downloads: github.com/BlitterStudi...

Amiberry v8.1.6 is out: Windows ARM64/JIT stability work, RTG zero-copy by default, cleaner libretro paths, Android input fixes, and config cleanup. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #RetroComputing

First successful connection of #DOpus5 using SFTP on #Amiga #OS3 - yay!

#Amiga Directory Opus 5.100 is now released: github.com/midwan/dopus... This version brings FTPS support and XADOpus module bugfixes

Want the ultimate Amiga gaming and demo scene handheld device? Mr. @simondick.bsky.social shows off our new emulator scaling — the 5×PAL scaling for the game GODS, and the 16:9 scaling for the demo EON from @h0ffman.bsky.social & crew — on the 1080p OLED Retroid Pocket Flip 2. Absolutely gorgeous!

Amiberry Host Tools v2.1 is out: new host-path, reveal, notify, edit, clip and info tools, plus safer quoting, URL handling and long-path checks. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... Support: ko-fi.com/midwan #Amiga #Amiberry

I've been working on a few #Amiga related side-projects lately... ko-fi.com/post/A-few-s...

Amiberry 8.1.5 is out 🎉 ✨ 80-bit Softfloat FPU (optional) ⌨️ New ImGui on-screen keyboard 🎚️ Adaptive VSync 🗂️ Per-config filter settings 🍎 macOS full-window fixes 📱 Android controller + UX fixes 📱 iOS groundwork 🔄 WinUAE 6100b1 sync github.com/BlitterStudi...

Sometimes, you just want to push that old piece of software to the limits, and beyond... This is from that same old 1990s-era Lightwave 3D 5.0, on the #Amiga (which a bit of modern plugin magic on top)

Current mode: #Amiga hardware debugging

amiga-lw-plugin v0.7.0 is out for LightWave 5.x on AmigaOS: Fresnel/PBR scene-save fixes, LensFlare now supports up to 50 flare sources, and ObjSwap is faster on large sets. Before/after renders below. github.com/midwan/amiga-lw-plugin

Scanline support for the ZZ9000 is done

Working on the #ZZ9000 #Amiga #RTG card next. Time to optimize that performance a bit, since there hasn't been any new firmware or driver updates in quite a while! #OpenSource

I’ve released LightWave 3D 5.x plugins for AmigaOS: ObjSwap, Fresnel, PBR-lite shading, and LensFlare, built with a GCC m68k-AmigaOS toolchain. Latest v0.6.7 improves LensFlare for dense specular/reflection scenes. github.com/midwan/amiga...

I sat down with a friend today, and we decided to have an Amiga hackathon day. A few hours later, a new Lightwave 5.x plugin was born: github.com/midwan/amiga... #Amiga #RetroComputing #OpenSource #Lightwave #Raytracing

Amiberry v8.1.4 is out. Fixes the macOS Intel JIT startup crash, improves KMSDRM startup, and adds Vulkan multi-threaded rendering plus Android UX polish. github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #Emulation #Amiberry

Amiberry v8.1.3 is out: restored Themes panel, improved Vulkan rendering, added JSON game database support, and fixed input scaling, audio, and fullscreen issues. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #Emulation #RetroComputing

A new #Amiberry backers-only update is out: ko-fi.com/post/Backers...

And now for something completely different...

🎮 Amiberry v8.1.2 is out! Lower input latency, portable mode toggle, mouse capture hotkey, audio and crash fixes, and more. Download: github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga #Emulation #RetroComputing

Amiberry + MCP server = your AI assistant can now talk to your Amiga emulator 🤯 Query state, manage configs, automate workflows — all through any MCP-compatible client. Open source. Free. Because the Amiga deserves the future. 🚀 👉 github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry-mcp-server #Amiga #Amiberry

#Amiberry v8.1.1! JIT fix (x86-64), HiDPI scaling, macOS/Windows updater fixes, crash fix, intl filename support, CRT shader fix, disk swapper fix. New: Vulkan renderer Phase 2, LoongArch64, SDL3 in Bookworm .debs. Android polish + 71 tests. github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/releases/tag/v8.1.1

Amiberry now has a formal corporate sponsorship program 🎉 Companies shipping products built on Amiberry can now officially support the project — with logo placement, early release access, and a Certified Partner badge. amiberry.com/#sponsors #Amiga #OpenSource #RetroComputing

#Amiberry v8.1.0 is out! Highlights: - Multi-monitor RTG — use a second display for Picasso96 - .uaem sidecar filesystem metadata - Multi-mouse support via SDL3 - Native OS file dialogs - HiDPI text rendering - Improved autocrop + integer scaling - 20+ bug fixes github.com/BlitterStudi... #Amiga

Also included in the next #Amiberry update: Native filesystem dialogs, where possible (with fallback to the current internal one).

Who wants to play Lemmings with 2-players? #Amiberry just got support for multiple mice, on Linux and Windows (macOS doesn't support things unfortunately). This will be part of the upcoming v8.0.1 release, coming soon!

Did you know that #Amiberry now supports shaders and custom bezels?

For the new #Amiberry GUI, I needed a lightweight, efficient and flexible library that would be easily portable. Dear Imgui worked perfectly for this! I added a theme that resembles that AmigaOS retro feeling and colors. And even a Dark theme option is there! @ocornut.bsky.social

#Amiberry v8.0.0 is out! 400+ changes: SDL3 migration, Windows/Android/Haiku support, auto-updater, Linux package repos, JIT on ARM64+x86-64, OpenGL CRT shaders, networking rewrite, SIMD display pipeline, Libretro core, ImGui GUI. Full details: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr...

Almost done with the changes for the upcoming #Amiberry v8 release. I'm considering also merging the upgrade to SDL3 in there, so far I haven't noticed any regressions with it. Meanwhile, how about some SIMD optimizations to sweeten the deal? :)

#Amiberry now runs on Haiku as well! I bet you didn't see this one coming! youtu.be/VuJDuM2Exho

@dietpi.com So, do we have OpenClaw in DietPi yet? Or is it in the TODO list?

New #Amiberry project update, for the project supporters: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr...

Just a little reminder! If you enjoy what I create, you can support me at ko-fi.com/midwan

#Amiberry just got support for custom bezels as well, now.

The upcoming #Amiberry v8 release is getting closer and closer... Additionally, JIT for ARM64 has been updated to support 64-bit addressing, among other things. This makes it possible to have macOS and Android support, for the first time.

#Amiberry project February update: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr...

After 5 days if intense debugging, it looks like I may have finally gotten JIT for ARM64 to work on the latest #Amiberry codebase! At least, my tests all pass without a crash :) This next release will be epic! PS: next goal: make it work on macOS also

Roguecraft DX got released! thalamusdigital.itch.io/roguecraft-d... Since it comes in WHDLoad format, there needs to be an update in #Amiberry's XML to recognize it. Until that happens, here's the relevant snippet if you want to add it to your XML file yourself: github.com/HoraceAndThe...

I may have ported #Amiberry to Android...

The #amiberry project, January 2026 update has dropped: ko-fi.com/post/Amiberr... Don't miss it! :)

I've posted a new update, regarding the latest changes in the #Amiberry project: ko-fi.com/post/Recent-...

I did something... ko-fi.com/post/Host-To...

Who wants an #Amidon v2, written in C, for maximum performance, smaller size and even more retro power? #Amiga client only, for now. I don't have any MorphOS or PPC hardware, so it would target good old 68k and OS 3.x with MUI 5.x for starters.
