Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.16.3
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)

The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.16.3 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
  • FDI: Fix import of FDI image files
  • gw read, write: --dd option renamed to --densel
    • --dd remains valid for now
  • gw write: Option --gen-tg43 generates 8-inch /TG43 signal on pin 2

SFX-Engine: Audio Mixer 3.6
Jeroen Knoester's Audio Mixer (YouTube video of version 2.0) allows real time mixing several samples onto a single channel (up to 4 samples on one channel), while maintaining high performance (3.7% CPU time for 4 samples mixed @ 11KHz on an standard 1MB A500) (amiga-news.de reported). Version 3.6 has several new features, such as a high quality mixing option that exchanges CPU time for higher quality sound, a plugin system so that effects can be added to samples that are being played (such as pitch changes), the ability to loop from any point in the sample rather than only the start and more.
