Michal's second daughter was just born about two week ago and he is in the final stages of submitting his Ph.D Thesis (he may have already done so very recently) and getting ready for his Ph.D final test so USB and AROS-64 developement has greatly slowed.  You can see the Next Generation AROS Developers here.

As for USB sticks are concerned, this bounty really needs to be completed first so AROS has fairly easy time porting existing "Amiga" file systems.

I´ve 2 questions according the native i386/x86 AROS OS.

1. Is it possible to play classic 68k Amiga games or PPC games in AROS?


Only via EUAE.  There is a bounty for initial/basic UAE integration into AROS which is the current target for TeamAROS-Benefactors' donations.

That doessn't allow running PPC games, though.


Truism.  Then again, there isn't enough PPC games to make it worth while to port a PPC emulator either.

I agree, but there are those who have been very numerous and vocal on wanting to run their 68K apps.  They-we have pulled together a fair amount of money (just got a new donation a few hours ago for $10 [minus PayPal fees so $9.xx]) for it, so it's of major interest within the AROS community.
