Shane’s Chess Information Database (or Scid) is a popular free UNIX, Windows, Linux, and Mac database application for viewing and maintaining databases of chess games. Scid development has been resumed after it ceased in 2004. There is at least one other project making use of Scid code – ChessDB.

Scid supports portable game notation and its own Scid database format. It can be used with chess engines with support for Winboard such as Crafty and GNU chess, and with UCI such as Fruit, Rybka and Shredder to play chess against or to analyse games. Scid can use up to five piece endgame tablebases. Photographs of players may be stored in the database, so they are shown when a game is played.

OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage) is an open source engine to play Beats of Rage.

Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and moddable game engine made by Senile Team ( http://www.senileteam.com/beatsofrage.html ) and inspired by Sega’s classic Streets of Rage series. The term “moddable” means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-’em-up game, which is then called a “mod”.

Beats of Rage was first made available for download November 2003. It was not advertised in any way other than by word of mouth, yet it soon gained enormous popularity.

openPirates is a fan game inspired by the classic game ‘Sid Meier’s Pirates!’ and ‘Pirates! Gold’ by Microprose. The purpose of this project is to capture the original feeling of the original, but while doing so try to improve and refine gameplay. openPirates is also designed to be cross-platform and run on any system (any system that support SDL libraries). The project is also being designed to make game data user configurable, meaning users can create entirly different worlds.

Hooka updated his initial port!

Hey guys, just to let you know I did a little mucking around with Meritous today (read as I changed the code back to how it used to be and with hotfix 3 it worked perfect ) and I’ve got a glorious new beta for you…

You can get it here! http://hooka.gp2x.de/meritous.pnd
…and the source here! http://hoka.gp2x.de/meritous_v12_src-PandoraPort.tar.gz

Just changed to make the sounds all back to awesome, it’s still underrunning the buffer slightly, BUT it isn’t skipping or chugging as far as I could tell (if anybody experiences some chug, please let me know and I’ll look into seeing if I can figure something out!)

Also fixed up the analog control a little bit as it was being a bit bitchy…

Straight port of SDLMAME to the Pandora. Supports more scaling options than the regular MAME package but due to 100% software rendering this is slow. Even simple games may require overclocking to achieve full speed. Consider this an experimental release and DO NOT EXPECT GOOD PERFORMANCE.

Released according to MAME license (see licence.txt in package). Source/makefile patch is also included.
