Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine
The "Scorpion Engine" developed by Erik 'earok' Hogan is supposed to simplify developing games, which run on an A500 with a screen refresh rate of 50 Hz. If a game requires more power then the rate can be set to 25 Hz. The editor runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for creating levels the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations the Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.

Free motherboard design: Rämixx500 reproduces Amiga 500+
Thanks to open source projects the mainboards of the A1200, A3000 and of the A4000 can be produced by everyone having corresponding skills and tools. Thanks to "Rämixx500" now it is also possible to reproduce an A500+, Revision 8A.1. Only two functional changes are mentioned: Instead of a battery which is soldered a fastener for button cells is used. Secondly, both audio channels are automatically mixed if only one channel is connected to an audio device.

The Register: Ideas for explaining an Amiga mystery wanted
A strange case the "The Register" has reported under the title link: an Amiga 4000 only then were transfered files from an external SCSI harddrive if the clock program was running - with a certain window size and placed on the top right-hand side of the Workbench.
The editor, Richard Speed, himself has given a possible explanation: "I suspect the issue was a weird DMA conflict between the DMA-based SCSI controller and the rest of the system with the clock application rendering adjusting the timings just enough for it to work." But he has enrouraged the readers to give similar theories in the comment section.
