Pegasos: CD32-Live-CD Released via BitTorrent
Marcel 'Frostwork' Unbehaun has released Pegasos software for making your own CD32-Live-CDs. This may be downloaded from pegasos.org via BitTorrent.
The archive only needs a CD32 ISO image of your choice named "cd32.iso" as well as a CD32 Kickstart ROM image named "cd32.rom" in the main directory and then burn it all to CD.
On top of that the CD contains the 3D-Ego-Shooter Aleph One and several emulators (inc. MAME, Sega, Nintendo, and C64). Aleph One requires some additional files that are available by clicking on the previous "Aleph One" link. The emulators require the desired games as well as the BIOS or Kickstart image corresponding to the system.
More information may be found in the instructions in the archive as well as the related MorphZone thread.
The CD32-Live-CD has only been tested on Pegasos II computers so far, the results on Pegasos I are not yet available.

Current state of DKG II and SN-Archiv homepage
The SN-Archiv homepage is now accessable via the short URL sn-archiv.de, too.
Of SN-EuroArchiv is version 1.95 under development. Image support for the HTML support for course coins sets was added that will be available in the future for special coins, too. Additionally, some bugs were removed that concerned the HTML support. An example for the new ccs generating can be found here (needs some loading time because of the images).
Steffen Nitz also decided to create an images gallery for SN-EuroArchiv. The page is still under construction and can be accessed via this URL.
There are thoughts to create a similar gallery for "Die Kleine Gilde II" to show the scope of the game. DKG II v0.70 is almost finished but the author has had not found the time to do the last adaptions to release this version. Things like town fires, burglary and sabotages like setting fires or placing bombs at competitiors buildings were added. You can now place things in buildings that are quite helpful, e.g. against fire and burglary.
