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: https://github.com/midwan/amiga-lw-plugin

The Amiga meets AI. 🤝

Amiberry now has an MCP server — meaning AI tools that support the Model Context Protocol can talk directly to your emulator. Manage configs, inspect state, and build automations around the emulator you love.

We've been pushing Amiberry further than ever this year — Android, ARM64 JIT, Windows, SDL3, and now this. The Amiga lives on! 💾
