You have to change the Boardtype to A600GS on devs/monitors/uaegfx.info

A600GS & A1200NG / A600GS Workbench 3.2.2 Unable to enable RTG.
« Last post by NeilB on July 24, 2025, 05:19:43 PM »
Hi all,

  Setup

  I have updated the latest firmware for the A600GS.
  I have created a new 'system', added the correct kickstart rom, set Z3 to limit to 1G, enabled RTG.
  After installing 3.2 and updating to 3.2.2 - I installed the latest version of P96 (3.5).
 
  Issue

  P96Prefs is not recognizing any video support. I only have the basic screen modes.


  I note from the forum, this worked last year.  If anyone has set this up and been successful, please can you point in the right direction.

 Many thanks, Neil

The company I worked for back in the day (1993) built a laptop A1200, complete with hires 640x512 colour LCD and batteries. We made a wooden case which included the original 1200 keyboard. It was pretty big and got about an hour of use on the batteries.

I believe we sold three of them.

He connected remotely from what I heard.
....or maybe not? Hard to know when the Youtubers focus on the feelings of being let down rather than explaining what actually happened!  RetronautTech has a mini rant at 24:02

On July 19 2025, a massive Icon Theme Pack
by JTDigitalDesigns (Jari Tuovinen) is released, it is called Infinite Icons Theme Pack.

It features nearly 6,000 brand-new DualPNG icons, primarily designed for AmigaOS 4,
but also perfect for AmiKit users and other platforms that support this icon format.

See more about what it's all about and order for yourself here:
https://www.amikit.amiga.sk/infiniteicons

These look damn fine, :).
Already paid, ;) and downloading.

VIDEO > Amiga 40th Anniversary: A Celebration with Friends!

Join me as I attend the Amiga 40th Anniversary Event at the Centre For Computing History, in Cambridge UK. RJ Mical was to attend, along with famous game devs of the era. Even better, the venue would be stacked with vintage electronics and amazing vintage computers, from Mini Computers, to games consoles. Lets have fun on my computer history museum tour!

Sounds cool. Just to understand correctly. Are you saying RJ was going to attend, but is not now?

Yes, it is technically possible to power an Amiga A1200 using rechargeable dry cell batteries, though it’s not common due to power limitations. The A1200 requires stable 5V (around 2A) and 12V (around 500mA), which can be achieved using battery packs with step-up/down voltage regulators. While AA NiMH cells can be used, they are bulky and may not supply enough current for reliable operation. Li-ion batteries (like 18650 cells) are a better choice, often used by hobbyists to create portable Amiga setups with custom voltage regulation. These projects have been done before and shared on forums and YouTube. However, care must be taken to provide clean, sufficient power and ensure battery safety.

Why have you revived a 13 year old thread.

How do you get the 12v and -12v for audio circuit / floppy?
Would be a pointless exercise, considering all the messing around to get extra voltages.

Far easier to use an emulation solution, running on a SoC. I have powered my SoC emulated Amiga enviroment and 14" monitor off a 20,000whr battery for over 5 hours.
