A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS Updates
« Last post by amigakit on December 22, 2025, 08:47:33 PM »
The following software updates for the A600GS and  A1200NG have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system.  They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:

46.2.1367:

SystemV46:

AmiPDF NG 46.15:

A fast and feature rich PDF viewer for AmiBench / OS 3.x with the following features:
* Zune / MUI 68K GUI (compatible with OS 3.x)
* Fast PDF decoding and rendering via ArmPDFium library.
* Multiwindow support.
* X Y Scrolling with keyboard arrowkeys or scrollbars.
* Simple intuitive page navigation via toolbar / menu and keyboard arrow keys.
* Zoom gadget.
* Fast and simple search via main GUI, with support for backwards and forwards searching via menus and menu keyboard shortcuts (RAmiga F activate search. RAmiga A find next. RAmiga D find previous)
* Clickable internal link support.
* Clickable external URL support via OpenURL library.

DefIcons:

* def_PDF is now associated to PDF documents and opens AmiPDF application

AmiBrowser:
* Internal fix to improve interaction with AmiPDF.

A600GS/A1200NG: Add ArmPDFIum armlibrary to interface with libpdfium.so providing custom callbacks to invoke pdfium functionality from 68k space.

Damn that board looks well leaked. You should have led with pictures.

I don't think it's quite as bad as it initially looks, he did say "The green stuff on the PCB in pictures is solder mask applied with an artist brush", which you can see in the images.



Getting 0.1 ohm is not always, depending on meter, as you have to take into account the natral resistance of meter being used.

Yep, that would be the reason for my statement of "close to 0.1 Ohms", and not "exactly 0.1 Ohms displayed on the meter".  Of course the meter leads, probe contact surface, etc, all contain a low value of inherent resistance, which are added to the overall displayed measurement.  A good meter will have a 'delta' function to negate the ~0.2-0.5Ω typically seen across the meter probes.  Or you can simply touch the probes together, record the value seen, then subtract that value from the displayed in-circuit measurement to get something closer to the truth, though you'll struggle with the accuracy of most hobbyist/consumer instruments at this level of measurement; not that it's especially relevant in this case.

The exact conductivity of the track/via isn't important, as the digital signal is in the magnitude of mA or μA.  Suffice to say, if you measure continuity between contact areas of the same net (this is the name for a specific signal carried between one and more points on a PCB), and your multi-meter indicates something in the region of < 1Ω, then the conductive path on the PCB is working.

I have a Gotek floppy drive connected to a CD32 and 8MB of Fast RAM, so as soon as I manage to load the driver using LoadModule, I will be able to easily check for new versions

And i have been using Pobolycwm since the bulletin board days and as my first compuseve email adress in 1991

Mentioned it, as we are Welsh to, :).

And a message to the builders of this 600gs  I bloody love this system and although love this i am seriously considering the 1200nd next

Thankyou.

Ah, just noticed 46.2.1367

What's new with this one?

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

Amiga & Amiga CD32 joypad from ami64.com -> works

This has a standard DB9 connector, so of course it works.
Red and blue buttons are buttons 1 & 2, and being a CD32 replacement pad, the controller would likely work as a CD32 controller here too if the A600GS's firmware supported it.

What I like about this controller is that it has a number of different modes , accessed by button combinations, including rapid fire, and "Run & Jump" mode, where the two shoulder buttons are assigned to the dpad UP direction, allowing you to press the shoulder buttons to jump in platformers or accelerate in car racing games (no more thumb pain from holding up all the time!).

AROS Research Operating System / Re: New Portable AROS Distribution – Now Available!

Excellent! Thanks for posting this.

After I'd found my old mini tower PC the other day I planned to see if it's AROS compatible, and then have a tinker whilst on Christmas break, so perfect timing.

Cheers, found a site and loading whdload games 1 at a time as i remember games me and the missus played in the 90's. But atm we are still having too much fun with the lemmings games.

Hi,

Welcome, nice user name. Longest welsh drama if I recall. Remember seeing it on S4C as a kid, :).

No there is no way to load them all on at same time. Has to be done one by one, for obvious reasons.
You can however transfer a fully setup HDD image across, if you have one setup for running WHDLoad games.
Only issue with transfering large files, you have no progress bar, so you may think it has crashed.
