A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Disappointed - no help at Amigakit

Thanks for the info.

Forgot to ask, do you by any chance get a loading sound (the start-up jingle) or a mouse pointer on the black screen?

Hi AmigaOldskooler

Thanks for your dedicated reply. Much appreciated.

The unit worked well until the update, where the new AmiBrowser got the download feature. Then it started to have very long boots for the included configurations - not my own.

I've not really used it for a months time, since I wanted to wait for an update, hoping this boot issue would be automatically resolved - only to experience the screen / monitor won't work now. Discovered it yesterday, when I switched on the A600GS.
So I guess it's something HDMI out.

I've tried :

- Two different screens
- Two different HDMI cables
- Three different chargers
- Three different power cabels
- Three different HDMI inputs (have a HDMI hub)

The unit switches on, cause I can see first the red - then green light inside the machine. And the unit also has USB out, as my USB-hub lights up.
It has serial number 460 if that helps in any way.

Again, thanks for your attention to this issue.
To me, it means a lot.

1. Often my phone gets there first, preventing proper connection, even if "paired" so make sure any other devices that you have used them with are not stealing the connection, can be fiddly with devices without GUI of some kind.

2. Occasionally connection needs cycling on and off a couple of times. Less often I need to start from a fresh session on the A600GS.

The final ting to check is that the attached and working device is selected in the audio setting section, this *should* happen automatically for new connections, but might need manually setting if settings have been edited by you at some point.

I really appreciate the detailed reply but unfortunately nothing has helped. I knew point 1 wasn't an issue for me as these headphones were only previously paired to my iPad, and always disable Bluetooth on my iPad while trying to get the headphones working - it definitely wasn't connecting there.

As to point 2, no amount of pairing/unpairing/connecting/disconnecting/rebooting has helped.

You mention it should be selected in the audio settings, but it has never appeared there. The only 2 things I have are for the rear output port or HDMI. I have never edited any settings (other than toggling between the two options).

Thanks for the advice but that all sounds a bit complicated lol are there any beginnerish friendly tutorials available to do just what you suggested ?

I don't currently own legacy hardware so my only options are the A600 Gs and on my pc I have FSUAE im guessing I could do it through that?
I also forgot to add the original Xenon to that list it loads and runs but is terribly glitchy and unplayable

Cheers

I recommend getting the ADF versions of the games and demos you're having issues with.

For example, Mega-Lo-Mania is a one-disk game, so no need for WHD-Load. Use standard Amiga 500, Kickstart 1.3 setup in the launcher, use the ADF file, and it should work great!

Indiana Jones has a ton of disks, so here a custom Workbench setup / HDF is the best, but you could download the ADF's and run it that way too.

Alien Breed and Bass-o-Matic should do well with ADF files. Use standard Amiga 1200 setup with Kickstart 3.1 in the launcher for Tower Assault. Amiga 500, Kickstart 1.3 for Bass-o-Matic music-disk.

If something does not work with the ADF's, you can experiment with the settings, but a lot works with a standard Amiga 500, Kickstart 1.3 config.

Hope this was of help, and happy gaming!

Hi Jake360,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your A600GS.

I assume it has been working fine until now, or have you had output problems before? Can you please describe what happens when you turn on the GS - any messages on the screen from the TV itself for example?

Also, have you tried connecting it to a different screen to see if it works there?

Hopefully we can get the unit up and running properly again.

I felt like the luckiest man last February, when I got my A600GS.
I've seen it evolve and had become amazing ... though, my unit has ... issues.
At first booting a configuration took forever and now .. now, no HMDI out.

I think my unit is faulty, but how do I get help?
Does anyone have a magic key for AmigaKit. No reply to emails, no-one picks up the phone in Luxenbourg or Cardiff, my message are read on WhatsApp, though no reply.
I'm starting to feel ... helpless.

Can anyone help?

Hi ,

I have also had a few issues with games not working mainly by trying to add whdload archives to the main menu
Crusaders Bass O Matic demo seems to work for a bit then crashes
Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis doesnt work as other people have mentioned
Megalomania doesn't want to run either just goes to a blck screen and stays there
Alien Breed tower Assualt AGA crashes back to main menu of A600 GS

Any ideas whats causing these issues bit of a novice really for every install ive used 2mb chip 8mb fast cpu boost off and faster chipset unchecked but nearly everything else seems to work ok using this setup

Thanks for any help

Most problems with WHD games imported directly are due to the WHDLoad Replacement the A600GS uses (JST), it does not have all the WHDLoad features ...

Your best guess is using a custom workbench install and use the real whdload with those installs. If you have some more free time, you could make a self booting HDF on WinUAE with a minimal Workbench and whdload install, put the game on there, modify your startup-sequence so the game boots at start and import the HDF to the A600GS
