Re: Welcome to the A600GS forum

Probably my questions in the other thread got overlooked, so I dare to ask them again here.  ;)

I suppose A600GS currently runs Amiberry 5.6.x as underlying core. Will there be an upgrade path to Amiberry 6.x which is currently in development (available as preview)?

Which leads to the next question whether the A600GS hardware is capable of running Amiberry 6.x at full speed? Upstream says the 6.x branch needs reasonably more CPU resources compared to 5.x branch.

This is rather important as staying with Amiberry 5.x also means staying with an older WinUAE core.

A600GS? That could be done 20 years ago and do you agree or disagree?
Definitively not.

2004 were no affordable SBCs around capable of running UAE at decent speed. The first Raspberry Pi was released in 2012 (1st Amiberry release 2017). So around 2004 the most affordable way to get a decent "A600 Gaming System" probably was to buy a 2nd hand A600 and put a '020-accelerator card in.
