`21.Jul.2020`	WarpOS port of Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (update) Raven Software's Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is a 3D action game released in 2002. Its source code was released in 2013. The WarpOS port requires the level files of the commercial release. The developer warns against several bugs which still have not been fixed. Update: (22.07.20, 21:30, cg) In the German comment area a reader has pointed out that the game is not suitable for the original accelerator boards produced by Phase 5 due to the hardware requirements - it might be meant for G3/G4 based PCI cards in a Mediator-PCI busboard which are integrated by the sonnet.library into the system.

`21.Jul.2020`	Self-made project: Connecting USB keyboards, mice and joysticks with USB2Amiga USB2Amiga uses an Arduino Pro Mini and an USB Host Shield as well as a Level-Shifter (3,3V to 5V) in order to provide an adapter for connecting USB devices to any Amigas. Main target platform is the CDTV: Mice and keyboards are working yet, joysticks still have not been tested. For any additional device (mouse, joystick, keyboard ) another USB2Amiga adapter is required. Implementing a Hub is not planned for this would complicate the code of Arduino. Step by step all Amiga models will be supported, only connecting external keyboards to an A600 or A1200 will not be possible due to the different keyboard protocols of these computers. USB2Amiga will be released under the GPL, the Git archive of the archive will be mirrored also on Github. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 21.

`16.Jul.2020` Amiga Future (Webseite)	The 100% useless AROS distribution version 0.2 By releasing version 0.2 according to the author Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow his AROS distribution "it's only 99% useless". His version is based on AROS64 before SMP was added. The author wrote: "I added some more programs, (not only my own) the FP-IDE does work, but sadly the compilation still crash, so you have to use the shell to compile. I even got the network to work and MUIMapparium shows the map nicely and search also works". (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 16.
