Not sure for how long, but all the old Amiga Toaster Flyer forums from NewTek are still online, just buried at Vizrt's site. Download them while you can!

I know current Amibrowser is just a preview, but I noticed a few things not working or not yet implemented:

    • No Preferences (yet?)
There is a text preferences file at least for the favorites button bar, not sure if this is the way forward.

General chat about Amiga topics / Re: Hero members from the old Amiga.org site

I would like to make a statement just to Thank some of the old-hands who were active from 2016 on the previous Amiga.org site.

They were and are Hero members that helped me get into the Amiga again after a long layoff. AllocVec, Chucky and OldsmobileMike to name a few.
Hey, thanks for the shout-out.  Just randomly pulled up my Amiga.org tab and saw your post.  Glad I was able to help you back then.  Boy do I miss my Amiga's.  I finally brought them home from storage at my old office last month and put them in my garage (a climate-controlled space, for whatever that's worth).  Just don't have anywhere near close to the amount of time I'd need to get back into the hobby.

I did get really sad to see the 40th anniversary celebration out in Cali.  Had such a great time at the 30th.  Skimming through their website, it was great to see the group photo from the 30th event.  At this point it feels like a thousand lifetimes ago.  😢

Glad to see the community is still going.  And if I bite it before having a chance to get my stuff out again, I hope one of y'all on this forum will track down my estate sale and grab everything.  😁

---------------------

Also, unrelated, but if any of you are on Quora website you should follow Dave Haynie on there.  His posts are as educational and interesting as ever.  Even when they're not Amiga-related.  🤣

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Feature Requests
« Last post by broadblues on September 08, 2025, 09:48:58 AM »
Request:


1) a forced re-scan of monitor properties to use. the moment i change the display to something different, the settings grey out not being accessible anymore and stick to 1024x768.

Is that in the main menu or AmiBench?  Te oly button that should grye out in the ain menu is the Apply Display Mode button? Have you hot a screen shot?

Quote
2) make the left vertical menu scrollable. it is unusable the moment the display's resolution gets smaller. you can't even reach the reset option anymore. plain stupid.
This is on my todo list. It's not quite a trivial as it ought to be, to do with how focus handling is dealt with and how the sizes collapse / expand when space is not constrained.
Quote
3) scaling of the menu is bad. even at full HD the tiles of the apps do not quite fit horizontally, needing a scrollbar. this is annoying.

They fit perfectly here, but are you using a language other than english?  The width of the left panel can expand when translations using more letters per word are used, like German for instance :-) I derstand that this is not ideal.

I had asked that my previous profile [guest20923] be merged with todays account but hasn't happened yet...

Thanks again to all I've encountered here too.  ;D 8)

I have gone through members, guest20923 doesn't exist. I will a look in the database, merging is not that simple, as it means will have to manually alter database.

There is also no reference to guest20923 under users or any post / thread. Only this one.
100% not to be found any where (manually checked database). You sure on username?

Funny thing years ago Jaca mentioned that offloading like Amibrowser was going to be the future of Wayfarer and many were complaining that they wanted it natively handled.

Perhaps he was ahead his time?   :)

Always nice to see new browsers and options.

I must say I am impressed with the speed of the browser and compatibility with my favorite pages & youtube! :o It seems to run snappier than Wayfarer on my MorphOS G5. Not magnitudes snappier, but noticeably nonetheless. I would not have expected that. Guess that's working in-browser JavascripJIT in Amibrowser vs. no JIT on Wayfarer... Youtube video playback itself is faster on my G5 though.

I know current Amibrowser is just a preview, but I noticed a few things not working or not yet implemented:
  • PageUp/PageDown for scrolling text do not work.
  • No Tabs (yet?)
  • No Fullscreen mode (yet?)
  • No in-browser pull down menues with right- or middle-klick (yet?)
  • No Preferences (yet?)

You're welcome, great that you got it working. I might give it a try myself with a completely new SD card and adapter. I’ll need to go shopping for those early next week.

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A600GS Updates

So after my post a few days ago AmiKit contacted me directly with a link to the latest image file, which I downloaded (although it took a few tries as the download kept stopping, finally after disabling my VPN and copying the file to my personal Dropbox space it finally downloaded), and the Win32DiskImager refused to work on two computers, one with Windows 11 and another with Windows 10 (which it is supposed to work with), so I found another (thanks @janikosk78) called BalenaEtcher which worked perfectly.

I decided to buy a new SD card in case I completely fouled things up with the new card, and was able to buy the exact same model and size of MicroSD card that was inside my A600. The image writing process took only a few minutes, and the wait on the initial boot up on the 600 was only a few minutes as well. After a false start trying to set my wifi up (which required a reboot, that pregnant pause between the booting bar screen and the startup tune playing every time still leaves me wondering, will it, won't it...) I got everything working and did the update, which was another few minutes, and now here I am.

I finally got to try the video player and I've got to echo the comments of others before in saying that it is simply amazing to see an mp4 file play, in 720p no less, on an Amiga style system. If only this could be done back in the day on a classic Amiga. I copied an mp4 file over from my Windoze box to try to which also played flawlessly. I notice it's only a bare bones system, but at least I can use the left and right arrows to jump forward and backward a few seconds at a time (that's a bare necessity). The ability to show the time elapsed (like in VLC) would be nice too, but I'm very happy with what I'm seeing for now, and will most likely use it from time to time instead of watching mp4s on my PC, just for the novelty of being able to.

I also tried out the new AmiBrowser, once again, simply stunning. I haven't tried loading a YouTube video, will try that next, but my first stop had to be here. I really can't believe I'm typing this post for this forum on my A600GS, that's quite a buzz.
Again I notice it's pretty bare bones at the moment, hopefully things like bookmarks and the ability to download will be added in due time, also tabbed browsing (if possible). But still stunning what has been achieved so far.
EDIT: tried YouTube, guess that's not gonna tear me away from watching vids on my PC (and f*** you Google I'm never turning adblocker off), but once again it's an amazing achievement that it's playing, even if it is slightly choppy even at 480/360p.

Thanks to the guys & gals at AmiKit for your help, and also shout out to @janikosk78 for your comments via email.
Not gonna tear me away from using my Turbo Chameleon cart just to play some games (game speed on some games still below par, and WHDload game support spotty at best), but I'm loving what I have seen in AmiBench at least already.
