Hi,

Yes and no. For some reason the fsuae launcher is not part of the mint packaging system. fsuae is, but without any way of configuring it I am somewhat stuck.

I have no idea why it was removed as it was part of previous versions.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A1200NG Accelerator and A4000NG Announced at AmiWest 2025

That answer doesnt make sense logically or semantically.

Logically
If it were true then you could just get a faster Orange PI since the headers would be compatible, it wouldnt need a new accellerator card to be designed. There is a range of Orange PI's with 26 pin headers and another with 40 pin - i dont know which the NG uses at the moment, worst case scenario you'd need a ribbon cable  - if there was a size/shape constraint for example.

Semantically
A new Orange Pi is a New single board computer not an accelerator.

While the they are pin for pin. The board needs to be reversed on more powerful boards (to fit in trapdoor) and some pins are missing. So a carrier board would be needed to make up for location and missing pins, etc etc.
I have already prototyped a carrier board, which works. So technically, it could be classed as a sort of accelerator.

Hi everyone,

At AmiWest 2025, Trevor Dickinson announced an A1200NG accelerator boosting its performance... The A4000NG was also mentioned. You can watch the stream here:

https://www.youtube.com/live/fOFAhcV2dxg?si=f98sQxdrORApooeT&t=2000

It will take a few minutes to reach the news about the A1200NG accelerator, but you can skip forward. :)

Shame the audio is missing, it runs flawless with no stuttering or frameskip.

I suspect he means it will connect to the headers where the orange pi is at the moment.

Correct.

Hi,

Have you tried fsuae?

That's great :)

How much do you want for the manual on the left?

Did you request your code?

No, I wasn't aware I had to. Email to support @amigakit "hamster upgrade" plox  8)

Hello,

I used to have a towered Amiga, sadly that died some ago so I now have an A1200 with compact flash hd. However I still have the spinning rust drives from the tower. I have also found a drive that is probably Amiga based but may not be.  :-\

I would like to try and recover the data of these drives, but am running into some issues.

I'm using a Linux (mint 21.3) with an usb adaptor to pull the data off the drives. Linux has Affs baked into its kernel (the OS' guts) and you can use a command to grab the raw data of a hard drive into a file. Sometimes the image produced behave nicely and you get

Code: [Select]
sudo parted 3gb1.img
GNU Parted 3.4
Using 3gb1.img
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) p                                                               
Model:  (file)
Disk 3gb1.img: 1622MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: loop
Disk Flags:

Number  Start  End     Size    File system  Flags
 1      0.00B  1622MB  1622MB  affs1

This can be mounted in Linux and read.

However often I am getting
Code: [Select]
NU Parted 3.4
Using AmigaDisk.img
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) p                                                               
Model:  (file)
Disk AmigaDisk.img: 40.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: amiga
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name  Flags
 1      1280kB  8591MB  8590MB               DH40  boot
 2      8591MB  17.2GB  8590MB               DH41
 3      17.2GB  25.8GB  8590MB               DH42
 4      25.8GB  34.4GB  8590MB               DH43
 5      34.4GB  40.0GB  5638MB               DH43

Which cannot as Linux cannot recognise the file system.

I have been trying, without any success, to get the above AmigaDisk.img recognised by Amiberry - a fork of UAE - as I am guessing that the fs is either Smart File System. Professional File System or maybe fro  OS 3.9 - which might not be compatible with the kernel. It could also be Affs, but patched using ide-fix97

If I just use the image as a hard drive on Amiberry I get 4 drives displayed, but they are just garbage.

So any suggestions as to how I might be able to recover this drive?

Thanks in advance.

A600GS & A1200NG / No "Cpu Boost" Option in menu system

Basically as the title says

https://wiki.amiga.org/images/d/db/A1200ng_cpu_boost.jpg

Image from wiki, but I don't have the selectable option.  I Paid for the boost kit and my orange pi has the heat-sink on it.

Also explains why I'm "only" getting 211 Mips with Sysinfo  ;D
