PC OpenSystems LLC: Distribution agreement with Cloanto for Amiga Forever
PC OpenSystems LLC announces that the company has acquired a licence to distribute the emulator FS-UAE as well as Cloanto's AmigaOS-package Amiga Forever together with its own Operating System.
These applications can now be purchased for a surcharge of 55 US-Dollar in addition to OS4 OpenLinux. Delivery will start next Tuesday.
Update: (15.07.2013, 21:45, cg)
Michael Battilana from Cloanto told us that there was an "initial contact" with Roberto Dohnert from PC OpenSystems, but that there is no contract between both parties. He assumes that PC OpenSystems is simply selling Amiga Forever licenses it purchased from other resellers. According to Battilana, that would also explain the higher prices Dohnert asks for Amiga Forever. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Windows: Kickstarter-Project for Bone and Sprite Integration System
BASIS, the Bone and Sprite Integration System, is a Windows application for creating sprites for 2D-animations.
Under the title link now a Kickstarter-project was established to accelerate the development of the software. Why it is interesting for Amiga-users? Although the program only is available for Windows and most likely it will be only ported to Linux and Mac OS X, there is a Hollywood-plugin. That means that all created sprites can be also used for Amiga games.

For registered customers and purchasers via eBay, a third beta version of Pascal Papara's Debian-Linux-hosted AROS-distribution AEROS for Raspberry Pi is available (video). For all other users, the free beta version 1 is available.
According to Pascal Papara, AEROS works with 40 MB RAM: Debian and AROS requires 68 MB, 32 MB are kept free for AROS. But only 4 MB actually are used by AROS in the basic state.
Some new app with Icons and icons for already installed apps as follows have been added:
- Gimp 2.8
- Audaciuos (Winamp like audio player)
- LibreOffice
- Dillo (brower which starts instantly and is ok for Amiga releated websites)
- Netsurf (better compatibility and somewhere between Dillo and Midori in terms of performance)
- Midori
- VLC (don't expect wonders! Remember to buy codecs from the raspberry guys on raspberry.org)
- DOSBOX (feels like on ATOM systems)
- E-UAE (yes but no AROS68k yet - will follow with next version together with PUAE)
- Leafpad (Text Editor, lightweight)
- SCUMMVM + Beneath a stell sky + Flight of the Amazon queen

Bill McEwen founded and sold "Amiga Games Inc."
On June 20th, 2013 a company called "Amiga Games Inc." founded by Bill McEwen, was included in the register of companies. The company has its headquarters in Maple Valley, Washington. There is also a website, but so far it only presents a HTML implementation of the BoingBall demo.
In a press release (see below) the "Writer's Group Film Corp." has announced that it acquired the company from McEwen and is going to sell more than 300 classic Amiga games for smartphones and tablets. Amiga Games Inc. was purchased with Writers' Group common stock and cash valued at approximately $500,000. The Writers Group seems to be a publicly traded company. The current price for one of the 923 millions stock options is 0,0006 USD.
Writers' Group Film Corp. Announces Execution of Definitive Term Sheet for New Acquisition of Amiga Games Inc.
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 8, 2013) - Writers' Group Film Corp. (OTCQB: WRIT) a Los Angeles-based content distribution company, announced that it has signed a binding definitive term sheet for the acquisition of Amiga Games Inc. ("AGI"), a company which licenses classic video game libraries and re-publishes the most popular titles for smartphones, modern game consoles, PCs, and tablets. Leveraging the intellectual property of Amiga Inc., AGI builds on the "Amiga" brand and technology to create new revenue from publisher's dormant game libraries. AGI resurrects classic Amiga games and other classic titles, by giving them new life on today's gaming platforms: smartphones, PCs, consoles, and tablets. Older gamers can replay favorites from the past, while a new generation of gamers can experience these excellent titles as fresh content.
The Amiga Games Inc. transaction consists of the acquisition of 100% of the common stock in Amiga Games Inc. in exchange for Writers' Group common stock and cash valued at approximately $500,000. The 300+ gaming titles to be distributed by Amiga Games are available to the company under existing licensing agreements with various intellectual property owners. Writers' Group will be making additional announcements over the next several weeks regarding Amiga Games' new and existing distribution arrangements with the best-selling smartphone, tablet and other device manufacturers.
Eric Mitchell, Chairman and CEO of Writers' Group commented, "We are pleased to be working with this well-managed game developer and distributor, and we are excited that we are participating in their growth story through this acquisition. We believe Amiga Games has an established value proposition that can enhance both revenues and returns to our bottom line."
