Emulator of an optical drive with CD³² support
Felix Lazarev has announced that his "Phøde Universal Optical Drive Emulator" will also support the Amiga CD³² among other systems. An "Optical Drive Emulator" (short: ODE) replaces an optical drive with a board that reads CD images from e.g. an SD card instead of using real CDs. This is much more robust, since no mechanics and no laser are used anymore.
Pre-orders are currently underway, and production is planned for the end of September, with delivery starting at the end of October.

AmigaOS 4: Script for adjusting Browservice usage by Odyssey
In order to be able to visit more modern websites on AmigaOS 4 with the Odyssey web browser, Browservice can be used (amiga-news.de reported). However, it happens that lateral scroll bars constantly appear and disappear again.
George Sokianos has now provided a Javascript file at the title link which solves this problem by generating the images supplied by Browservice a few pixels narrower so that the scroll bars do not appear at all. Before importing the file into Odyssey, one does only have to adjust the IP address in line 12 using a text editor.

Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.2
The "Scorpion Engine" by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.
New features in version 2023.2 include an optional sliced blitting mode for the Amiga, which greatly reduces the memory consumption of animations.

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.14
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

Frogger clone: RANA
Already two years ago, Lorenzo Di Gaetano from the group Phaze101 wrote his Frogger clone RANA (Reckless Amphibian New Adventures) for the "Retroprogrammers Inside Gamedev Challenge" and published the source code on GitHub.
Since there was no finished binary so far, the idea arose in a forum discussion on Amiga-News.de to create one and make it available to the general public. With the kind permission of the author and the final implementation by Josef Wegner, the game is now available on Aminet (YouTube video).
