Amiga Software News / Re: RNOEffects 2.1 released for all Amiga compatibles
« Last post by pVC on January 17, 2026, 10:08:02 AM »
RNOEffects 2.1 released:

- Added a new view mode to display images at their actual resolution in a scrollable window area
- Graphical displays are hidden during window resizing, which improves speed and flexibility on systems that resize windows with full contents
- Added the "Palette editor" tool for modifying, setting, or removing palettes
- Whole directories can be added into the batch conversion list with the Add button or just drag'n'drop from OS windows
- Batch resizing can keep the aspect ratio of an original image
- Added an option to disable redrawing during a batch conversion to speed up the process on lower end setups
- Added a progress gauge in the batch conversion window
- Zoom level can be changed in the Pixel Editor
- Pixels can't be drawn "out-of-bounds" in the Pixel Editor window
- Palette images are converted to RGB images only when needed or requested
- Added a setting to reload saved images back into the editor to reflect changes caused by any image conversion process during saving
- Added an option to convert RGB images to palette images with Quantize effect
- Window title indicates if an image is an (A)RGB or Palette image
- Almost all effects work with palette images now, though some options may not work exactly as with RGB images
- The Clear option detects the image colour format
- The Color Picker tool shows the palette pen alongside the RGB values
- Brush and text drawing can be locked to borders/corners/centre, which makes it easier to add watermarks, etc. to varying image dimensions
- Setting co-ordinates for the Draw effect by mouse over the image can be constrained vertically or horizontally by pressing Shift or Ctrl keys
- The "j" key swaps main and buffer images (as used in DPaint and PPaint)
- Added presets for Amiga WB 1.x, 2.x, Rebel, and PeterK/IconLib palettes
- Added presets for resolutions on Resize and Crop windows, the last applied resolution is shown as the first item in the preset list
- Width and height values can be swapped in Resize and Crop windows
- A cropped image can be copied to the internal buffer instead of applying the effect to the current image
- Buffer changes are refreshed on effects that use the buffer image
- Color Picker and Area Selector tools broke some effects like elliptical crop
- Transparency level can be set on the Background effect
- Improved error handling
- Other minor fixes and changes

A600GS & A1200NG / A600GS firmware update help
« Last post by TorontoDave on January 17, 2026, 02:51:35 AM »
Hi folks,

I have an A600GS that i haven’t played with much.

I finally wanted to spend some serious time with it, but have not been able to get the firmware updated.

I am trying to go from 46.1.805 to the currently available 46.2.1367.

I am using the Check Update and Install Update buttons on the A600GS AmiSphere Profile menu page.

The updater runs, and at different times gives me different errors.

Errors I have seen so far include:

- At Step 6 (fetching scummvm.deb):
An error occurred: Error fetching file scummvm.deb
Expected 127017448 bytes got 36 bytes.

- At Step 5 (fetching libcef.deb):
An error occurred: std::bad_alloc

- At Step 4 (fetching avcodec.lhapps):
An error occurred: basic_string::_M_create

- At Step 3 (fetching programs.lhapps):
An error occurred: basic_string::M_create
or
An error occured: Error fetching file programs.lhapps, expected 75038581 bytes, got 36 bytesz

I have run the updater dozens of times. Sometimes powering off in between tries. On different days. Every time it seems to fail at a different spot.

Email support suggest I use “Advanced” updater and go one step at a time. But my firmware version does not have an Advanced item or option anywhere in the A600GS interface or in AmiBench.

I am at a loss. Any suggestions welcome.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Amiga 1200 hardware and Advice

Hello Amiga Friends!

I just got this Beauty on eBay as is. I am waiting on a new PSU (few more days till it arrives). I see I need to recap it. I know I can do it, but where do you get the caps? Just any electronics supply store? Also, I need a hard drive solution. Do you recommend a gotec? What else can I do to make it magical? I want midi. Any suggestions on a midi interface?

I still think it would be beneficial if the manual was more clear on that.

They are both marked Game for that reason. However I do agree, why not just say DB9 ports ONLY work with joysticks.

Why doesn't this manual even mention AROS? Did you really write the operating system yourselves?

Let the programmer who did it come forward and say, “Yes, I wrote the operating system.” I wonder who will have the nerve to do so.

This is not just a violation of the AROS license. It's spitting in the face of all AROS developers over the years.

You being serious.
Why are you starting for, you do realise bug fixes are fedback to AROS. So are you saying its like spitting in the face of AROS devs when bugs are being fixed and fedback.
Yeh right, thats a logical sttement.

Besides, where does it state its not using AROS?

Real CDROM with CDDA is not supported in Amiberry as yet (only ISO with CDDA).
I have mentioned it previously. Just waiting for it to be implemented.

I asked for the CDDA header. As I mainly prefer the CD32, so having real CD32 cd's run is a must for me, :).
