Daikatana draws its blade on MorphOS

papiosaur — 2026-07-31T09:57:53+00:00

BeWorld brings Daikatana (version 1.3 beta) to MorphOS, a FPS with role-playing elements released by John Romero and Ion Storm in 2000. Four time periods to travel through, a legendary blade to retrieve and two sidekicks to keep alive: the most awaited — then most mocked — title of its era gets a second life on our machines. The port builds on the source code revived by maraakate.

On the MorphOS side: built with GCC 9 and the latest SDK 3.20 through cross-compilation, fixed paths and system-specific parts, a lot of endian fixes, multi-language support back in working order, a resizable window that keeps its custom resolution and SDL_OpenURL support. It all relies on alure, FLAC, Vorbis, Ogg, mpg123, OpenAL, SDL2, minizip and jansson. Network play, however, is disabled.

Mind that this is an unofficial beta build, use it at your own risk. The game data is not included: you need the GOG, Steam or CD version (patched to 1.2). Requires MorphOS 3.20, the SDL2 library (2.32.11, available on MorphOS Storage) and a 3D graphics card.

Fish Fillets NG dives into MorphOS

papiosaur — 2026-07-30T09:33:07+00:00

Papiosaur brings a native MorphOS port of Fish Fillets - Next Generation (version 1.0.1), the free remake of ALTAR interactive's underwater puzzle game (1998): two fish, one big and one small, must clear the objects out of each room to escape without being crushed. 70 levels, hand-drawn artwork, original music and spoken dialogues. This game was ported by HAK in SDL1 version some years ago.

The port builds on Toast442's SDL2 fork of the engine; only the port layer and the audio were reworked. Engine under the GPL v2, game data free. Requires MorphOS 3.20 or later, SDL2 and around 180 MB of free disk space, voices included.

Telegram Amiga polishes its file transfers

papiosaur — 2026-07-30T08:21:56+00:00

Michele Dipace releases Telegram Amiga (version 0.0.7), his native Telegram chat client that speaks Telegram's own MTProto protocol directly, with no gateway and no proxy service. This release goes after big files first and foremost: large uploads and downloads — 152 MB tested — with a live percentage, automatic retry of lost chunks, and cancelling straight from the close gadget.

Typing comfort improves too: an Edit menu brings clipboard copy / cut / paste along with text selection by mouse or with Shift+arrow keys, and a double-click on a message replies to it. Messages edited on another device update live, even while you are typing, and the online search now finds accented names.

The text client TelegramAmiga-TUI has not been forgotten: it too handles sending and downloading files, plus drag-and-drop from Workbench. A TUI_MODE icon tooltype lets packagers pick the interface at startup. Everything remains free of external dependencies — no MUI, no ixemul.library, no AmiSSL — under the MIT licence, and requires MorphOS 3.x with its TCP/IP stack.

IPP-Scan 1.8 available

papiosaur — 2026-07-29T18:35:21+00:00

Papiosaur has updated IPP-Scan (version 1.8) on MorphOS Storage. The interface has been rethought: the settings sit in four tabs (Scanner, Scan, Capture settings, Result), the preview takes the full height of the window and the log folds away behind a checkbox.

IPP-Scan is a native application that scans from an eSCL/AirScan-compatible network scanner, without any driver: mDNS/Bonjour discovery, device capability detection, live preview, multi-page scanning, cropping, and output as JPEG, PDF, searchable PDF or plain text. Interface in 15 languages, MorphOS 3.20 or later; registration is shared with IPP-Print, and saving is reserved for registered users.

pt2-clone 1.92: ProTracker 2 just like the first day

papiosaur — 2026-07-29T08:45:52+00:00

BeWorld has updated his port of pt2-clone (version 1.92) on MorphOS Storage.

Written by Olav Sørensen (8bitbubsy), pt2-clone aims to be a highly accurate clone of ProTracker 2.3D, the emblematic Amiga tracker. Beyond the original interface, it works hard to reproduce its sound: carefully tuned audio filters and mixer, a toggle between A500 and A1200 output (F12 key), VU-meters, adjustable stereo separation, CIA or vblank timing, and a fullscreen mode.

Upstream, version 1.92 now fully ignores the Bxx (position jump) and Dxx (pattern break) effects during row step-play, and fixes the song playback counter that kept ticking in that mode. On the MorphOS side, this port fixes a byte-order problem in MOD2WAV as well as hardware cursor positioning. It requires MorphOS 3.20 and at least the SDL 2.32.11 library.

Voxelspace 1.0 flies over the landscapes of Comanche

papiosaur — 2026-07-29T08:34:10+00:00

André Geisler offers voxelspace (version 1.0), a little technical demo of a voxelspace renderer written in C99, now available on MorphOS Storage.

The technique is the one made famous by NovaLogic's Comanche series in the early 1990s: 2.5D terrain rendering built from a height map and a colour map, without a single polygon. The demo even reuses five landscapes from the original game — pyramid, desert, winter, canyon and rocky — and ships several executables for different hardware configurations, along with a demo mode and a windowed mode.

Navigation is done with the keyboard (W/A/S/D or the cursor keys), F1 shows the frames-per-second counter, F2 changes the level of detail, F4 and F5 adjust the render distance, and ESC quits. On MorphOS, a 640x480x8 screen mode is all that is needed (the author tested it on a Mac mini G4 running MorphOS 3.19); an m68k-amigaos build (3.1.4 or newer) is provided as well, in 320x240x8 or 320x256x8, with a graphics card or on AGA through c2p.library.

The program is one of the examples from exdev-gfx, the cross-platform 2D/3D graphics engine the author develops as a personal project (GitHub repository).

HTTP Streamer 2.1: Hollywood reads remote files as if they were local

papiosaur — 2026-07-29T08:27:09+00:00

Andreas Falkenhahn has released HTTP Streamer (version 2.1), a plugin for Hollywood, now available on MorphOS Storage.

The idea is straightforward: once the plugin is loaded, Hollywood can open and stream files hosted on an HTTP server as if they were stored on a local drive, with no special code — the usual file functions simply work. The design is multi-threaded, with each HTTP connection handled by its own dedicated thread, and the streaming APIs introduced in Hollywood 6.0 are supported, so audio and video can be streamed as well, in particular through the avcodec.hwp plugin.

Version 2.1 brings an important fix that only concerns AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4 and AROS; on other systems it is identical to version 2.0. The plugin is provided for the m68k-amigaos, ppc-amigaos, ppc-morphos and i386-aros architectures.

Astral Game 4.20 consults the stars and the moon

papiosaur — 2026-07-29T08:18:11+00:00

J.C. Herran Martin updates Astral Game (version 4.21), an esoteric program for MorphOS written with Hollywood. It works out astral, Chinese, Mayan (haab and tzolkin) and Celtic zodiac signs, your personal magic number, the moon phases — handy for seed germination —, the Celtic-Wiccan holidays or sabbats, plus various events such as Christmas or the change of seasons.

Version 4.21 is compiled with Hollywood 11 and brings new graphics along with new background music; the intro cover has been reworked, its alpha transparency having caused trouble below 32-bit display settings.

The program comes in five languages (Spanish, English, French, German and Italian) and requires charsets.library. Two shortcuts: ESC to quit, space bar to hide the window.

MorphUAE, Amiga emulation in a MUI suit

papiosaur — 2026-07-27T12:02:19+00:00

Stefan Blixth (OnyxSoft) has just released of MorphUAE (version 1.0) to MorphOS Storage, a variant of E-UAE from Fabien Coeurjoly for MorphOS with a MUI interface and a few additional features. A way to get back to your floppies and Amiga classics from a window that belongs to the system, without going through command-line configuration files.

More software for MorphOS and AmigaOS is available on the author's website, onyxsoft.se.

Pragtical, the lightweight code editor arrives on MorphOS

papiosaur — 2026-07-27T10:54:33+00:00

George Sokianos brings Pragtical (version 3.8.7) to MorphOS, a cross-platform code editor that describes itself as "practical and pragmatic". It comes from the Lite and Lite XL editor lineage and keeps their principle: a compact core in C, an interface drawn with SDL, and everything else scriptable in Lua.

On the menu: syntax highlighting, multiple cursors, settings reachable graphically rather than through a configuration file, LSP support for code assistance, and extensibility through Lua plugins. The project claims a modest footprint — around 50 MB of memory and 10 MB of disk space — which makes it interesting on machines that are no longer young. All of it is released under the MIT licence, with no telemetry.
