AcidBoutique - A new music tool for the Commodore Amiga, a 303 bassline synth and a 808 drum machine!

On the topic of music and not retro gaming, here's a new piece of software called AcidBoutique, a  music production tool for the Commodore Amiga created by solo developer wintermute303. Built in the developer's spare time with the help of AI, this software squeezes the authentic sound and feel of two iconic electronic instruments—the TB-303 bassline synthesiser and the TR-808 drum machine—onto a classic 40-year-old Amiga 500 with just 1 MB of RAM or more. Instead of relying on rough approximations, the software is the result of reverse-engineering, running the genuine logic of the original hardware in real time on the Amiga's Motorola 68000 processor so that every slide, accent, and drum hit behaves just like the real deal.

RGB2RTG v0.5 - Redirect your AMIGA 1200 RGB image to RTG display

What looks to be an incredible piece of homebrew software has arrived on Itch.io that could change the game for Amiga 1200 PiStorm owners. Developed by Astair86, RGB2RTG is an unofficial Emu68 fork  designed to redirect the Amiga's native RGB video signal directly into the Raspberry Pi’s RTG HDMI display output. For years, PiStorm users have had to juggle multiple cables, switch inputs, or wait on upcoming hardware solutions like the "Frame Thrower" just to display native Amiga games and demos on the same modern screen as their RTG desktop. This experimental new utility apparently bypasses the need for extra hardware entirely, offering a software-driven bridge that seamlessly swaps between the RTG desktop and native screens on a single monitor.

South Park VR - See South Park through your own eyes via Oculus Rift


Developed by a small group of superfans at Tool, comes a South Park experience unlike any other, a software release that some would class as the most immersive South Park visual experience yet. Taking inspirations from other renditions of the city of South Park, such as the recent game "Stick of Truth" and the season 17 show intro you'll be able to walk around the area of South Park viewed through your eyes using an Oculus Rift.
