From Friday 29th till Sunday the 31th of July 2022 the Amiga Club Osnabrück and the Amiga Club Steinfurt are celebrating another hardware meeting.

Please note that, depending on the Corona situation at time, I may cancel the event on short term. Health has priority here. I ask for your understanding here.

Gather up to date information on MorphOS, get official support, see new software or just have fun talking with the developers and users.

As a new segment we added 3D printing and/or 3D modeling to the list of topics as this is getting more and more interest. We plan to have at least two 3D printers to make something useful. :D

If you want to bring in your hardware then please inform us as soon as possible, because the space for external users is limited. Of course you can just stop for a visit if you like.

I know a laptop running MorphOS takes no big space and is portable, but I still need to know about the number of attendees. So if you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible.

The participation is as always free of charge.

Update #1:

The webcam page is now available. This time we have four cameras to capture the action! Lets hope the WiFi stays stable when the number of devices is raising.

This is an important note on all support channels on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) related to geit.de and MorphOS related topics. The most important channels are probably: #morphos, #morphos-forum and #geit.de. Please note that beta tester channels and probably any other channel you used also moved away.

Do to circumstances not in our hands all previous mentioned and other official 3rd party IRC channels on the old servers are now obsolete, even so when stated otherwise in their topics. The channels did not move to a different named channel on the same network!

The new IRC network used is named "https://libera.chat/". To swap servers it is probably enough to replace the old server name by "irc.libera.chat". Most of your favorite IRC channels will already be waiting for you.

Please note that you need to register your nick at the new server to be able to speak. As rogue individuals try to attack the channels with SPAM and misinformation, this step was necessary. Instructions on how to do this can be found here. Make sure to use a new password. Of course this is always a mandatory step, but in this case your password may already be in the wrong hands.

If you used other IRC channels on the old network, check if and where they moved, too. It is likely you find them on Libera or some other well known network. The channels have probably already been relocated to a new location and are waiting there for you. Do not trust any information given from users or topics using your old setup. Check the related websites for valid information instead.

Feel free to share this information to help other people to find the official support channels for their products and hobbies again. Leave the old channels and servers to set a signal for other members: The ship is sinking. These channels won't be useful to obtain trustable information or proper help.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the matter is not in our hands.

It's so easy to wear a mask!

The serious changes in society are not easy for MorphOS and our small community either.

Events get canceled or can only be carried out with a very small number of participants, under strict conditions and at high costs.

Of course, this does not only apply to the Geit@Home meetings, which I have and had to cancel for an indefinite period of time. To wear a mask in public places is a small burden that everyone can and should contribute to the current situation, so that we can continue to act normally with one another and at our meetings in the future, being able to pursue our hobbies. The situation is far from over and that should not be forgotten despite the recent easing.

Hopefully we will all meet healthy in 2021 and have all the more to discuss.

RegisterISO is a little tool to inject your MorphOS keyfile into any MorphOS ISO file.

This allows you to boot from CD or the iso itself without dealing with the timeout, which is quite useful when restoring backups or using SFSDoctor to fix a partition.

Some say 2013 is the year of some guy called Luigi! Nah!

2013 is the year of Rockford!

Back in 1987 first steps were done to create the perfect BoulderD?sh game on a C64. Later first version got released by using bulletin board systems.

In the year 1996 the game did his first quantum leap. BoulderD?sh was released with a complete new GadTools GUI, a music player and a build in game editor with construction set.

2003 the next version jump brought with BoulderD?sh RTX another big jump in quality. Beside classic hardware, for the first the game time supported graphic and sound cards.

BoulderD?sh Shockwave pushed the game play even further. By using Playstation and other usb game pads supporting rumble, BoulderD?sh dragged the player even more into the cave. This fifth version was released in 2008.

Over the past years screens were getting bigger and the systems got better, faster and new technologies were supported, which could improve the game play. The small game window of the original game, or should I say the stamp size icon looked nice, but was simply to small to be played with on a FullHD screen.

In 2013, this will change! BoulderD?sh Resurrection is not just a simple update to increase the game resolution. Version 6 of the game got rewritten from scratch. Not a single line of the old source code was used in the new code. This is a total remake of BoulderD?sh with an already very impressive feature list:

• 16.8 million colors
• Unlimited resolution
• Unlimited number of animation phases.
• Unlimited number of graphic formats (Reggae support)
• Unlimited number of audio formats (Reggae support)
• Unlimited number of music formats (Reggae support)
• All elements are now animated (stones, earth, ...)
• No limitation of the play field
• No limitation of the number of players (Party mode, one by one)
• 100% system friendly
• Full screen and window mode
• 100% Magic User Interface (MUI)
• 100% localized
• Import of C64 and Atari construction kit files
• Import of old BoulderD?sh game files
• Import of old BoulderD?sh cave files
• Import of old BoulderD?sh solve files
• Import of old BoulderD?sh hi-score files
• Joystick/Gamepad/Keyboard support (Sensors support)
• MUI based game editor
• MUI based and fully animated cave editor
• Record and playback of cave solves.
• Build in music player
• Soundtrack with 5 Tracks composed by Ruben Monteiro. (+ a full Stereo remix of each track)

Since during development was focused on modern features without drawbacks, BoulderD?sh Resurrection will not run on classic hardware anymore.

Since the game files are still compatible and the classic version still works everywhere, BoulderD?sh V5 will stay available for download. Export functions (if needed) will allow backward compatibly with such systems, unless new features are required.

To be precise BoulderD?sh Resurrection will be released exclusively for MorphOS V3.3 or higher.

Yes, Grunch is available for more than one year. It turned into V1 a few days before the AmigaMeeting 2011 in Bad Bramstedt, where it was shown officially for the first time.

What happend since then? Grunch was very successful. Not only the database which grew up to more than 200 pakets, but also many developers, which use Grunch as a platform to promote their software products made it a winner. At least one developer will join with his database shortly, so be prepared for even more Software.



Beside some minor code issue in september, which was completely my fault, the non centralized database system worked like a charm and without any further problems.

Many people blasphemed, bitched and had no confidence Grunch will be accepted by the masses, but they were proofed wrong. Not only to keep a system up to date, Grunch provided a new unique way to inform all users about new software products without any delay using the simple linked database technique building a bridge between developers and users, which was accepted quite well.

Several developers decided to create own databases, which are pre linked in the internal database, to give the user direct access to their software pools. Several ideas and wishes came up during the last year and many of those wishes where implemented during the last 50 Grunch updates.

Thanks to all people supporting and using Grunch. You made it possible.

The participation is free of charge.

Update #1:

I everything works like expected MorphOS can be registered and paid on the meeting itself. So if you don?t want to use paypal, here is your chance. Please note that it will probably only be possible in the very late Saturday evening. Also limited MorphOS DVD/CD cases will be available.

Update #2:

A webcam is available here.

Update #3:

MorphOS goes iBook! MorphOS is shown on iBook G4 1.33 Ghz. It will be officially supported with MorphOS 3.2 release. As you can see below the demo iBook already is fully supported (excl. Wifi). This specific model is using an ADB keyboard and an ADB touchpad. Since this system is releated to the Mac mini G4 series, even 3D is already working.

The specific iBook versions supported by MorphOS 3.2, will be announced later.


Update #4:

Pictures are now available in the Hardware Meeting section.

NetPrinter allows printing using a printer connected to the network.

This driver supports RAW and LPR printing and provides a fully featured preferences utility, which allows an easy configuration. The MorphOS version contains a preferences module which appears in standard system preferences.

Since NetPrinter caused many confusion in the past: NetPrinter does not replace the printer driver! NetPrinter is just an additional transport protocol like usb and parallelport. If the printer rejects to work with usb, parallel or serial, it also won't work using NetPrinter.

Beside the normal Geit.de download, NetPrinter is also available via Grunch.

Changes since V1.14:

• The 68K preferences name has a different name.
• Multi printer support was broken in prior preferences tools.
• Added NETPAR mount script for classic system provided by Ernest Unrau. Thank you!
• Added proper NETPAR mount script for MorphOS as well.
• Many small changes and optimisations.

Posted by Geit Dec. 05th 2011 - 20:20

The current version contains several bug fixes, usability and detail changes to make using Grunch even more simple.

Previous problems with AmigaOS3 and AmigaOS4 should be resolved.

In addition to that several developers (Guillaume Roguez, Nicolas Sallin, Herbert Klackl, Thomas Igracki, Stefan Haubenthal) contributed own databases for their software, since Grunch V1 was released. These databases are prelinked and will be automatically, downloaded, installed and even updated by Grunch.



Grunch is a great way to maintain software on your system. For more information about checkout the brand new Grunch section and the manual that comes with the Grunch download.

Today Geit.de reached the first big magic number of more than 10000 visits.

Knowing that this number was generated in less than 15 month indicates that Geit.de is not only frequently used by MorphOS and AmigaOS users, but also that the relaunch at September 1st 2010 was a big success.

Thanks to all visitors and of course thanks to everyone who supported Geit.de in the past!

BBB? The Bad Bramstedt Bundle.

I got many requests and during previous presentations I got a clue about what is needed and where to go with this application. After some weeks of improving and adapting and the knowledge of people already waiting for this and I am pleased to announce that the new application Grunch is ready for download.



Grunch is a great way to maintain software on your MorphOS system. For more information about checkout the brand new Grunch section and the manual that comes with the Grunch download.

Since this is a bundle, there is even more!

MagicBeacon got released! MagicBeacon is a notification manager which catches system and application information and hands them over in an easy way, so the user can deal with them if he wants to.

Play sounds on disk insert or removal, open a cameras picture folder when a camera is connected or simply get notification bubbles, when new software is available. Let OWB or Transfer tell you about a finished file transfer using live ticker in the screen bar.



Checkout the new MagicBeacon section for additional information. There is also a detailed documentation included in the MagicBeacon Archive. Download and installation via Grunch packet manager.

We are not done yet! There is one more thing. It's quite small, but I hope you find use for it.

The name of this little helper is WirelessDesktop. It is a small commodity which allows you to use your iDevice (iPod, iPhone, iPad) and your Android Devices as a wireless keyboard/mouse. Using the big iPad screen as a gigant mouse pad is quite fun. Once again! For download and installation use Grunch.

Geit.de is back!

After more than 5 Years and several gaps where the page wasn't available, Geit.de was switched off in August this year.

Countless people asked about the reason and showed that this site is regular visited by the community.

Geit.de changed server and domain provider during the last month and was only available through a fall back home server.

This month without Geit.de was used constructively. It all started with a new logo and ended with a complete make over of all 100 (!!) Geit.de sub pages. Some sections were enhanced, reworked and improved. Thanks to the new look and design future changes and providing new content will be much easier.

Links pointing to Geit.de's sub pages should be checked. It was taken care about not breaking any links, but in some cases (mostly the meeting pages) it simply wasn't possible without overhead, so it was dropped for a clean restart. In addition to that, the new pages use CSS for the design. This provides an easy and flexible way of maintaining the pages. With non CSS compatible browsers the pages will still provide all information, but without all the decoration and eye candy.

Thanks anyone who supported Geit.de during the last years. You ensured this pages survival.
