New User Introductions / New hello from France with an A1200 and A1200NG
« Last post by Rob_Hawk on December 29, 2025, 09:06:19 PM »
New on here and thanks for some help already, much appreciated.

I’m based in France and use an A1200 and just recently took delivery of a new A1200NG to future proof my set-up a little.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Amiga game selector

Thanks for sharing that.  I tried the same options, except with an a4000 3.1 kickstart rom.  It is working, even after a couple of shutdowns.  I’m not going to mess with any more settings for now!

Glad you've got it working consistently!

I'm continuing to tweak settings and Use Changes has been very helpful for that. I've bumped the CPU up to an 040 and reset Fast Memory back to zero so that Zorro 3 works properly. I may amend my earlier settings post once I've done some further testing.

Thanks. It was easy to compile and the import now works perfectly.

So I'd recommend this option for others looking...

Help hugely appreciated.

Hi Thanks very much.

Sorry for my silly question but what's AF?

** EDIT **(Okay sorry AMIGA FOREVER! I have purchased this but only used years ago to set up FS-UAE on my mac). I'll take a look this evening.

Help appreciated.

Thanks

Those Roms are encrypted and can not be used right away. This is indicated by the ROM.KEY in that directory and the roms also are too big, 524.288Bytes is the correct size.

You can a) install AF to a computer, your decrypted roms should be in a directory like C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\Shared\rom or b) use https://github.com/abcbarryn/decrypt-amigaforever but you have to compile it yourself

A600GS & A1200NG / Unable to import ROMS into A1200NG
« Last post by Rob_Hawk on December 29, 2025, 05:07:44 PM »
Hi,

Looking for a little help please.

I am unable to upload my purchased Cloanto ROMS. I skipped the step on the initial start up and now when I try to upload ROMS from a USB stick I am only presented with two out of the many in the directory. I have watched several YouTube videos and have seen others uploading the same ROMS that I am trying to so am not sure what I’m doing wrong?

You will see from the two images attached what I see in the ‘upload ROMS area’ and also what’s actually on the USB stick when I check in Directory Opus.

All help greatly appreciated.


Regards

Rob

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A1200NG - Help setting up Custom System with HDF file
« Last post by Rob_Hawk on December 29, 2025, 04:34:56 PM »
I have since tried again with uploading a new HDF file and this worked so thanks very much.

However this is not the end of the challenge. Like you I discovered that if you then make any changes to the custom system and 'save' them the system does not boot and just goes to the insert disk screen and then you have to upload again the new HDF file. I have discovered that if you just make a change to the custom system config and click 'use' this is okay but as soon as 'save' is clicked that's it you muse upload the HDF again.

I have emailed the always very helpful A1200NG team and supplied them with  three short YouTube videos showing the challenge. I am sure I will hear back after the Christmas holidays.

Thanks once again for your help.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: A600 glitches after recap
« Last post by F0LLETT on December 29, 2025, 12:39:57 PM »
the vias on the tracks don't look the best, especially the middle one, but if I were you I would check all of them under and around the integrated circuit

That that perticular track will be issue, as other halve is still connected to layer via.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS 4:3 support
« Last post by F0LLETT on December 29, 2025, 12:37:33 PM »
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).
