ZGloom - open source Gloom engine for Windows and Linux
ZGloom is a reimplementation of the Gloom engine for Windows and Linux which seems to be compatible to all the level data of the series. So far only a very early version is available and currently the program has to be compiled by yourself. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Free Gotek clone: OpenFlops emulates classic disk drives
OpenFlops is a hardware-based floppy emulator, similar to the Gotek drives. In comparision to them, OpenFlops is available under a free licence and therefore can be built by everybody. As firmware the free FlashFloppy is used which originally should be also used for Gotek.

Improvements of OpenFlops compared to Gotek:
  • Can be installed on many different platforms
  • Directly supports a wide range of image formats
  • Flexible track layout for Raw Sector Images
  • Extremely configurable
  • Supports AutoSwap for games with a large number of disks
  • Easily accessible pin headers for connection of a i2c display (either OLED or LCD), rotary encoder (including power)
  • Built-in amplified speaker, or easily-accessible pin header for an external one
  • USB connector can either be soldered on the board or connected to a pin header
  • Connected Motor signal
  • Emulates two drives at the same time (Not yet supported by the firmware, but it will come)
  • Has additional 3.3V, 5V and GND power pins
  • And hey, it's Open Hardware!
According to the developer "all of this comes in the same form factor (and mounting holes) as the board installed in the original Gotek, hence it can be easily installed in any shell or enclosure designed for it." (cg) (Translation: dr)

New Amiga emulator for MacOS in progress: vAmiga
Dirk Hoffmann's "vAmiga" is supposed to become a new, "user-friendly" Amiga emulator for MacOS computers which can emulate an A500, A1000 or A2000. According the developer the programming has been started 12 months ago - and the basic features of the emulator implemented yet. Now he is concentrating on improving the compatibility. So far official releases are not available but new alpha versions are regularly released on Github. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Free hardware: 1 MB Chip RAM expansion for Amiga 500+
On Github you can find documents for a 1 MB chip RAM expansion for the Amiga 500+ "using only a 40 pin (2x20) female 2.54mm connector. The remaining pins are for the RTC which is on-board the A500+, so they are unecessary for RAM expansion. This makes it possible to use a 40 pin connector, which is cheaper and easier to find."
