General Internet News / Re: Looks like Commodore will have a new owner…

Very interesting. An ensemble of previous Commodore execs as advisors (no Hynie by the sounds of it) and a desire to bring the separate bits of the old Commodore back including Amiga. How does that work - Amiga OS is owned by who (never been clear to me with all the courtcases - Hyperion?) And the Amiga brand - A-Eon / Amiga Kit - so many questions.

A600GS & A1200NG / AmiBench help and suggestions
« Last post by E5150 on June 30, 2025, 06:01:23 AM »
Hi!

I am a new member here. I have been using an Amiga 1200 (my first computer), but my knowledge is pretty basic regarding the original AmigaOSes and anything "power user" oriented.
I came back to Amiga scene recently and my A1200 is not working anymore, I decided to get into emulation with A600GS.

My interest is in AmiBench and what can I do with it?

Is anyone willing to explain what AmiBench really is, what can be installed to make it more usable (programs, games, tools, utilities...), share some screenshots of your custom AmiBench and what else is possible...

I am trying to understand and learn about A600GS and the Amiga emulation as a whole as much as I can, so any help would be appreciated.

Amiga 68020+ V0.6 and downloads works fine here, even on my phone  ???

I had to download Firefox to download it :) Brave and Edge would not let me, I dont' know why.

Anyway, thank you very much for suggesting AmiFox. Works great!

I can't download any version of AmiFox. I click on download links below and nothing happens. I tried using many different browsers and disabled all blockers etc.

Also, what version of AmiFox is for AmiBench if I somehow manage  to make it download?

Thanx

A600GS & A1200NG / Sound troubles if Boot Jingle is switched off
« Last post by mike-taws on June 29, 2025, 11:57:17 AM »
Hi there

I'm having a bit of a strange behaviour with my A600GS:
If I switch off the Boot Jingle, sound starts to be weird. But let me define "weird":

- playing an MP3 or video file on AmiBench: they both play at double speed and pitch
- playing a MOD file with HippoPlayer using the UAE AHI mode: plays at double speed and pitch
- playing a MOD file with HippoPlayer using a PAULA AHI mode: plays at normal speed but double pitch
- playing any games (no matter if directly from the main menu or through AmiBench): sound at normal speed but double pitch

Switching the Boot Jingle on solves all this.

My current firmware version is 46.2.1135. I'm using the external audio out, as HDMI audio has never worked for any of my monitors (or my TV, a default Sony Bravia) sadly. But I think that last one is a known issue, right?

Is it just me or can anybody confirm this behaviour?

Cheers,
Michael

Also, maybe a speedier way to load save states, rather than exiting the game to load them.

Unless I'm missing an menu option?

Yes, I'd like to second that. Also, the following features I find very useful on the A500 mini and would love to see with the A600/1200 GS as well:

  • Ability to crop away black borders and zoom the actual game area to fullscreen (saved individually per game, of course, it makes quite a difference to play games like R-Type fullscreen or with the black borders you're normally getting). It would be perfect to be able to do this while the on-screen-menu is showing and the games is paused. Then you'd have all the time to adjust the image to your liking. This would make it even better than the A500 mini feature where it's a bit of a trial-and-error thing to do.
  • Access to the AmiBerry menu: I know this has been mentioned before, but I'd like to second this once more. I'm sure quite some games could be tweaked to perform better that way.
  • Ability to map buttons to your liking. Ideally from the F12 on-screen-menu, without having to quit the current game.

And some things not in comparision with the A500 mini:
  • I'd like to second AmigaBill's request for the F12 menu to wrap around (jump the the top item when pressing Down on the last item in vice versa). Although it's such a small thing, I find myself still getting irritated by it.
  • Another one he already mentioned and I'd like to second: the main icons of the main menu jumping around when moving the mouse to its area. They really should be positioned at the same location no matter if the menu is opened or closed. I wouldn't mind the gaps between them. Even after several months of using the A600GS by now I still find myself moving the mouse to an icon and being annoyed be the fact that said icon is then lo longer where it just was.
  • Now with the ARM improved MP3 playback ability (which is great!): an MHI device that could be used with HippoPlayer (and others) to route MP3 playback would seem like the next logic step, right?

Sorry if any of this sounds too negative, it should not. In general I am greatly enjoying the A600GS and especially that it's in very active development and we're getting updates all the time. Keep up the good work, you're doing great!

Cheers,
Michael

I guess with that, adding extra memory for HDF, ADF setups too, loads of extra ZorRAM and the like.
