A600GS & A1200NG / Re: List of working/not working Joypads (wired and BT)

PSX2DB9 from ami64.com -> works

This is a cable that allows you to connect a Playstation 1/2 controller to any computer or console with a DB9 port - even an Atari 2600!

On the A600GS, it shows up simply as the standard "DB9 controller".
You can configure it as a single button controller, with X as fire, two button controller, with X and O as buttons 1 and 2, or a CD32 controller, with all face buttons along with L1/R1 and Start button.
For dual shock controllers, both analog sticks also function for controlling direction as well as the dpad.
It also allows you to clone any direction or action button (not just up) to another button and has options for auto-fire as well, and you can save your own custom configurations for later use.

There are also other functions, such as mouse emulation, that are beyond the scope of usage for the A600GS, so I will not go into other functions.

It took a while, but it's finally here.

WHDLoad versions of DR Dangerous and Phantom Leap are now available.

The WHDLoad versions are available as a download for both the boxed and digital versions of the games in our online shop.

How do I get the WHDLoad version if I've already purchased the game?

Go to https://www.amigashop.org
Click on "YOUR ACCOUNT" or "MY ACCOUNT" and log in.

Then, in your personal area under Downloads, simply download the archive again.

The archive contains all digital files, including updates, and also the WHDLoad version.

What do I do if I didn't buy the game directly from amigashop.org (e.g., from a retailer or at a trade fair)?

If you don't already have an account on amigashop.org, please create one.

Send us an email with your account information and a photo of the game.

We will then activate your account in the shop for updates.

Hello,
Thank you very much for the update and clarification.
I appreciate your transparency and the hard work your team is putting into this project.
I am really looking forward to using the system and exploring whether I can do some development and creative work on this machine myself.
I have also read your private message,thank you for the update. I’ve set the title as fixed.

A600GS & A1200NG / AmiChess on AmiBench
« Last post by amigakit on February 26, 2026, 04:42:52 PM »
AmiChess has been recompiled with VBCC.  It has been bug fixed and now runs without problem on AmiBench.   The window layout has been reorganised.

Expect it in the Games drawer on the next free AmiBench update for your A600GS or the A1200 NG

Further. I tested the RGB port with a meter. +5v and +12v are present plus +3v on H-sync and +.9v on V-sync. According to AI this means the F1 and F2 resistors are ok.

I tested the D.K. Products Video Crisper RGB buffer for shorts and that's all ok too.

I've made use of the time out and imaged the CF card from the A1200 with Win32 Imager to use in WinUAE. Tested the image and the CF is still good.

As far as AI can suggest, a logic error in Lisa created by current mismatch can create the symptoms mentioned in OP.
