A new version of VICE has been released today! Version 1.21 is now available for download from the AROS Archives and from the VICE web site. Both PPC and x86 versions are available. Blacky Stardust has worked on the AROS port. He works on almost every port of VICE. Currently he maintains the MSDOS, QNX, Solaris(Intel/Sparc), BEos (Intel/PPC), Zeta, AmigaOS3 / AmigaOS4 / MorphOS / AROS(x86/ppc) / WOS/PUP, Minix, OS/2 and GP2x ports. Blacky states that the main work on VICE for Amiga based systems was done by Mathias (amidog)Roslund. He says Amidog created the version for AmigaOS4. Then Blacky ported Amidog's port to AmigaOS3, MorphOS and AROS, and improved his port and added missing UI elements. He says in a way, Amidog and him both maintain the Amiga ports. Blacky has been responsible for most of the hardware emulation additions too, like (MMC64, Digimax, PET REU, SID Cart for PET/Plus4/VIC20).

Another recent addition to AROS is Matthias "Mazze" Rustler's AROS Archives Download Tool. He took advantage of his port of Wget and wrote an AmiLua script so you can easily download files from the AROS Archives.
