AROS: Aros Vision X86 1.0
As announced, there are now different versions of Olaf Schönweiß' AROS/68k-distribution "Aros Vision". Aros Vision X86 is based on the Windows-hosted version of AROS, that means it can be started as application under Windows without using VMware or having some special hardware (screenshot). The disadvantage: So far sound or network are not supported.
The distribution is based on Magellan featuring some major improvements, supports Mesa/Gallium and includes the game engine Antiryad (a debug-requester will appear but it does work), Free Pascal, many emulators, some games and many applications like AmiFIG or Lunapaint.

amiga-news.de: our policy regarding app stores
With Amigakit's Amistore and Pascal Papara's indieGO!, app stores have entered the Amiga scene. As news items about new or updated titles exclusively available in an app store always equal advertisement for the actual store, it is in the vendors' interest to generate many small updates to achieve as much coverage on news sites as possible - which would result in software from app stores getting more coverage on amiga-news.de than applications distributed through other means.
