Of course there's actually so MUCH more in the magazine.

Needless to say you will often get other versions of software, some of which were commercially available, as well as some of the latest try-outs or freely released software applications and games for, hopefully, every Amiga variant of Operating system, so that's Amiga 'Classic', OS4, MorphOS, and AROS, including some PD software for these systems, all on the Readers' cover CD.

A detailed description of the varied content and excerpts of our current issue can be found at: https://www.amigafuture.de/app.php/kb/index?c=13

The Amiga Future magazine is available both as an English and German printed magazine - each issue is printed in FULL COLOUR - directly available from our magazine editorial office and from various other Amiga dealers.

Anyone found a version Christmas Fire & Ice that doesn't have the music stutter?

Sometimes multi-layer ceramic capacitors can go resistive if they've been subject to physical stress (cracking) or contamination such as corrosion damage from capacitor electrolyte.  It's not uncommon for this kind of fault.  If the capacitor appears damaged/corroded or it there's any sign of heating, it should be replaced.

The valid clue here is that the 'insert disk' animation is getting screwed up.  The fact that the rest of the graphics mainly appear to be drawn OK suggest that the graphics output hardware (U4, U12, etc) is likely OK.

I'm not sure exactly how the disk animation works at the software level, but in hardware it relies on the level 3 interrupt (_INT3 on the schematic).  This is generated by U2/Agnus, which gets passed to the interrupt handler U3/Paula; presumably the software is relying on the interrupt to move the disk image data between different areas of memory to create the animation, not sure.  Based on the clues in the screen photo, something about this interrupt is broken.

While viewing the 'insert disk' screen, monitor what's happening with _INT3.  The line should be inactive all the time (high), and only strobes active (low) while the disk is 'moving', with an active duration of around 200nSec.  Make sure this signal is arriving at U3/Paula pin 20.  If that appears to be OK, there's possibly something broken with the interrupt priority level lines from U3/Paula and the 68000, so check continuity of the three IPL lines between U1 and U3.

Got the 600gs yesterday, loving it already as i dont have the space for a full sized amiga. Does ayone know of a quick way to load a  lot of games oto the system at once

Hi! Thanks for the fast reply.
About the ceramic caps I noticed that one under the board was very hot. I removed and tested it in Ohm and returned me about 33Ohm. But one ceramic cap in short or nearly can happens. The strange fact is that other two caps on that line where also like this (60ohm, 100ohm, etc). Also the one on the Paula alimentation (after the big 1R resistor) had trouble so he messed with the tension partitor for the 2.4V.
I removed them all and tested and about 4-5 of them where faulty (this is REALLY strange).

I'll check where you suggested and report you asap. Thanks!
