AmigaOS 4: Jump'n Run Frogatto (alpha version)
The Jump'n Run Frogatto is a mix of an open-source engine with proprietary game data. For iOS and Blackberry a fee is required for the game, ports for desktop operating systems are available for free.
Hugues 'HunoPPC' Nouvel now has ported the game to AmigaOS 4. The author has invited everybody to carefully read the documentation: Probbaly it is still an alpha version which can have bugs. Frogatto requires the libboostyGfx.so library which was also developed by Nouvel. Due to a bug in Wazp3D, currently Warp3D is absolutely required.
According to Nouvel, Frogatto is right now his last OS4-port. The port has taken two months and in future he will neither have enough time nor motivation (he mentioned the very low feedback which he has got for all his previous projects) for similar projects.

Hollywood: APNG-Plugin
Press release: Airsoft Softwair has just released a new plugin for Hollywood 5: Infinity. This plugin enables all Hollywood scripts to load and SAVE animations in the APNG format (animated portable network graphics). The great advantage of the APNG format is that it allows you to import and create animations that use alpha channel transparency. Neither the IFF ANIM nor the GIF ANIM formats support alpha channel transparency. Furthermore, APNG can also handle true colour frame data. A rival format to APNG is the MNG format but APNG support was chosen because more applications support it.
You can download the plugin from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood 5's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (Classic), AmigaOS3 (FPU), AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (Intel), Linux (PowerPC), Linux (Intel), Mac OS (PowerPC), Mac OS (Intel), Windows and Google Android are provided.

Python-Script: S3Cmd 1.1
S3Cmd is a script for AmigaOS 4 for Python 2.5 which makes it possible to access the Amazon-online-storage S3 via the Shell.
Since for MorphOS and AROS there are also current Python versions available it should also work with them. Please remove the included, precompiled .pyc-files before. Because for AmigaOS 3.x only an alpha version 2.4.6 is available this could cause some problems.

DVD-Covers for Amiga and CD32 games
Originally old games were often delivered in cardboard boxes. And if they are damaged or maybe lost, they can be replaced by DVD-sleeves or Universal Video Game Cases.
The cover inlays often are created by fans and users. One of those websites which offer such "replacement-covers" is thecoverproject.net - there are DVD-covers for 56 CD32-games as well as for 4 Amiga-games.
