A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS Updates

@amigakit

You’ve fixed the issue with booting from RDB partitions, too — thank you very much for that.
And thanks as well for the improvements to AREXX. It’s still not enough to run all AREXX scripts, but it’s a significant step forward.

If you have time, it would be great to improve IMP3 support. Playing a module currently disrupts AmiBench’s timers: double‑clicking stops working, and the system clock begins jumping forward in 5‑second steps.

This behaviour does not occur when I boot a full AmigaOS 3.2.3 installation and run IMP3 there.

This isn't a physical accelerator, but rather software-based CPU overclocking. To unlock this feature, you need to purchase a license code from the AmiKit store. The code comes bundled with an aluminum heatsink that needs to be installed. If AmiKit doesn't offer the option to buy the code without the heatsink, I’ll end up with two, as I already bought one a while ago. It’s a standard accessory for the Orange Pi Zero 3.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600gs Amibench change Screenmode

Yes it did work. Both in Amibench and on the A600gs main menu (albeit the main menu is slightly off-screen rather than scaled to fit)

This is "normal" for 3.1 API based workbenches.

On later OS variants, like AmigaOS4 and probably MorphOS too, intuition message the apps to close (if they are based on window class and similar ) and so the problem only occurs for rarer programs that might have a stray lock on the Workbench screen.

Given time AmiBench will do the same, but just at the moment I haven't had tie to deal with this.

1280x1024 should work OK once saved though, it did on my test a while back.

The behaviour is indeed Workbench standard; usually these small Commodities are supposed to respond to the notification of screen change automaticly. some just don't.

A600GS & A1200NG / A600gs Amibench change Screenmode
« Last post by alexh on February 15, 2026, 03:41:46 PM »
I tried using Amibench on my A600gs this afternoon.

I almost fell at the first hurdle. I wanted to change the screen mode from the default 1920x768 to 1280x1024 This is to match my monitor native resolution.

But when I tried it, it just opened a dialogue window that said"Intuition is attempting to reset the screen. Please close all windows except wanderers ones."

I eventually worked out that you need to close the calendar, clock, dock and the logo in the bottom RHS to make it change resolution.

Did anyone else struggle with this? Or am I really very rusty about how Workbench/Amibench works?

I appreciate I could/should have just saved the new resolution, ignored the warning message and reboot Amibench?

The following software updates for the A600GS and  A1200NG have been uploaded through the in-built live update system.  They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:

46.2.1402 (13.02.2026):


A600GS/A1200NG System Menu:

* Expand information in System/General Tab

* Add Motherboard memory options to Customise Memory settings, allows up to 64MB extra FAST memory without the conflict with extended amounts of CHIP memory. Useful for customs systems or games that might be more demanding on resources.

* Update built in ROMS to version 51.51 build date 2026-01-28

AmiBench:
 
* Add SYS:Documentation drawer icon.  Put this drawer in browser mode to facilitate descending into sub-drawers without leaving excessive windows open.

* Fix bug with Browser mode updates, that could result in wrong fonts and backgrounds being used when navigating the history.

* The built-in datatype image class now caches images in memory and uses the DTST_MEMORY source type, this avoids  clutter in T: whilst still allowing dynamic update of theme imagery.

SystemV46:

* Update regina.library to latest versions as of  2026-01-29 (no version number changes) fixes by the AROS team enhance compatibility and STDIO handling. SAY now writes to the shell window as do runtime errors.

* Update ASL.library to 50.10 (01/12/2026)

* Update ZUNE muimaster.library and classes.

* Update filesysbox.library to 54.8

* Add example SSHFS mount file in SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers.  Copy this file into DEVS:DIOSDrivers and edit for easy secure file exchange via sftp backend.

* Add EditPad - a rapidly developing simple text editor.

* Add S:InstallLHA  S:Install7z and S:InstallNDK32 helper scripts to assist in installing some useful software via the web.

AmiPDF 46.16

* Add Menu->Projects->Iconify and minimal ARexx port (QUIT only supported at present more to come)

AmiBrowser 46.37:

* Add Navigation menu with Back Forward and Home, Projects->Iconify menu.
* Add Privacy->Delete All Cookies menu item to clear all cookies.
* Add ARexx port with support for QUIT, OPEN, GET and GO functions.

GO TARGET/K,N/N,BACK/S,FORWARD/S,HOME/S
OPEN URL/A,TARGET/K,RELOAD/S,POST/K,SMART/S
GET ITEM/A,TARGET/K
TARGET is the ID number of a Window, may later be a frame name too.

GET ITEM supports URL and WINDOWID (which can then be used as target)

RELOAD,POST and SMART are not yet implemented but planned soon.

* When closing AmiBench from the AmiBench menu it will attempt to shutdown any instances of YAM, AmiBrowser and AmiPDF before exiting, to help ensure data security.

Programs:

* Add VBCC distribution by kind permission of the authors.  By default it is setup for compiling std c library programs but by installing ether 3.5 3.9. 3.2 SDKs in Programs:Programming/NDK it will automatically enable compiling for AmigaOS 3.xx

* The provided helper script S:InstallNDK32 will fetch and install the 3.2 NDK from Aminet.

What's new with 46.2.1402?
I noticed that AmiBrowser got some more menu items. Nice. What else?

I am interested in this CPU boost kit for my A600GS, but I have two questions:

1. Is there any soldering required or does it simply plug in to one of the internal connections?

2. When will this be added to AmiKit store? I notice it is available as an add-on to new A600GS units but there is no option to purchase it separately.
