Title: A600GS 4:3 support
Post by: normanlove on December 28, 2025, 10:15:03 AM
Hi, i was wondering if you plan on adding support for a 1024x768 resolution screen? I have one that iwould like to use with my a600GS and while its capable of selecting the resolution, everything is too big and is mostly cut off by the endges of the screen.

Perhaps check your Overscan settings (in the OS and in the Monitor settings).

I have the same problem. The menu is unreadable in 4:3, the icons are too large. Amibench does not load and freezes immediately after starting. 4:3 is the natural aspect ratio for the Amiga environment, so it would be good if it worked properly.

For running games yes. For workbench, I think not.

Besides I would expect it to crash. If you have not set amibench prefs to 5:3 resolution. (not talking about GS main system resolution).

What do you mean by 4:3 ? That an aspect ration not  a resolution, 640x480 is certainly not going to work well  but 1600x1200 should be fine, albeit you will have to scroll the menu to see some entries.

AmiBench was demonstrated on a 4:3 monitor at kickstart in Nottingham last year, so there should be no issues with a 1600x1200 mode , you won't get it working on a PAL MODE though ! You may well need to save the screen prefs mode change, rather than USE it to test as a some apps don't yet autoclose with the intuition reset.

I have just run AmiBench in both 1600x1200x32 and 1028x768x32 resolutions and neither crashed for me.
