AROS: 3D-Shooter Cube 2 ported
Krzysztof 'deadwood' Smiechowicz has ported the 3D-Shooter Cube 2: Sauerbraten to AROS/x86. It is the first game that truly uses the advanced capabilities and features of AROS 3D sub-system (Video).
By utilizing those capabilities, Cube 2 provides level of 3D effects not seen before on AROS but for best graphic output requires graphic board with 512 MB VRAM.
The AROS-port includes the programm file as well as a configuration programm. The data files of the game have to be downloaded. The game requires updates of some of the AROS-components. You can obtain further information from the Readme-file.
Download: cube2-20100719.i386-aros.zip (2 MB)

Floppy-Controller: Kryoflux archives and copies protected disks
The USB-Floppy-Controller Kryoflux can read diverse disk formats of classic computers. In this way complete images of the disk are created which include all information of the disks - inclusive the copy protection.
Meanwhile the free firmware was developed further so it also is possible to write back such disk-images to real disks.
In a short Youtube-video the developers show how to write a disk and announce that the new firmware will be available soon.

AROS: Port of Scalos in progress
Few days ago Matthias 'Mazze' Rustler has accepted the bounty project to port the Workbench replacement Scalos to AROS. A screenshot of the "about"-window ist available yet.
But this software is not open-source: It only was allowed to transfer binary files to the AROS-archive as well as distributions. According to the developer of the port it may become open source later on.

iBatch: Slideshow Builder / Addslideshow-Plugin
Gero Birkenfeld wrote: With Slideshow Builder you can create slideshows for any picture direcdtory. Slideshow Builder works as programm (standalone) as well as plugin for iBatch from version 1.1 (Screenshot).
The wizard.library is requzired und therefore I recommend to download all files via the iBatch-website under the title link.
Example for AmigaOS 4 or Winodws: Unpack the archive and start the programm "slideshow" in directory SSBuilder/Example.
Quickstart for your slideshow:
0) Possibly install wizard.library
1) Unpack the archive and start the programm "addslideshow-plugin" in directory SSBuilder/SlideshowBuilder
2) Choose your directory of pictures (e.g. SSBuilder/Example)
3) In listview choose e.g. "staticshow"
4) Choose your solution, e.g. 640x480
5) Choose your destination system(s)
6) Confirm the requester with OK
7) Go to the destination directory and start the Slideshow-progamm
