Isn't AGS multiple HDF files? It won't let you import multiple HDFs. I guess you'd need to use the custom option for importing?

Ah ok, so I found that Real Amiga version, which is one giant img file. I copied that into ~/games as AGA and tried launching it on the A600GS.

The result was a prompt for ENV: to be inserted, then pressing cancel resulted in no further progress.

Changing Kick ROM and launching again leaves with just the Kickstart prompt, whether that's using 3.1 or AROS.

It's a start I suppose.

Hmmm. Trying to add it again, I just get the kick start screen.

Not sure how to get it to kick in.

Latest update changes all of that!!

Edit: or maybe it doesn't. After the reboot, it let me boot it. Second attempt it didn't.

After another GS reboot, it lets you load it once, then it afterwards it just does the kickstart screen.

Odd.

So, the trick with this is:

- Download the real Amiga AGA AGS version .img file
- Rename it as a .hdf
- Add it via USB or by mounting the SD card (the file is too large for FAT32, so it'll need to be ext4 or some other supported filesystem)
- I used the A4000 model with 3.1 ROM, plus using the maximum memory options available
- Then when it does boot, get a Save State
- Each time you load it from a Save State, it'll throw up some PFS3 errors, so just Reset from the start menu
- Then it boots up!

As said before, it won't launch every time, so it's either reboot the whole GS system or just reboot virtually from within a Save State AGS session.

Is there a way to add more memory to a config?
