A600GS Updates

[Rusty Breadbin]

I don't want to sound unthankful for everything you're doing (because I am thankful), but you seem to be concentrating too much on huge things for the system while simple quality-of-life features like being able to select more than one HDD image when setting up a game/app or being able to use multiple floppy disk drives in setup/amibench go unresolved.

When are we going to get some of these simple things that have constantly been requested since release?

I just did the update today and afterwards it states

"Firmware update available
Installed 46.1.972 Available 46.1.974"

Clicking on install update after this does nothing....

EDIT: Also is multiple disk drives still not available from A600GS Setup? I'm trying to setup a game with two disks and can see no way to put each disk into a different drive (ie DF0 and DF1)

Update not updating should be fixed now.

In regards to multiple disk, you select all disks you want then select "add selected disks".

Thanks for the update, it's not showing a higher version number now 

With regards to multiple disk, I know how to add mutlple disks, I'm asking about the DRIVES.
I  select all the adfs in the game set, and they appear and I can select which one is the default disk for starting, but is there any way to select which virtual drive they go into, for example Disk 1 in DF0: and disk 2 in DF1: ?

THAT is what I can't see any ability to do here, and selecting "Insert new disk" from the F12 menu shows DF1, DF2 and DF3 all greyed out, unable to select.

In short, all I am asking is, is the ability to have multiple virtual disk DRIVES in use from the A600GS setup when setting up a game?

Just loaded the new firmware update, same as NickLM71 trying to update the avcodec.lhapps from the advanced update still just sits there for around 20 seconds before exiting, and trying to play mp4 file brings up the "unable to open armmpegfile library" message in AmiBench.

At least it doesn't try to update the codec every time it starts up now.

So still no change yet.

i want to do a factory reset after the install of the video codecs failed and all attempts to get it isntalled since just don't work, but all attempts to try to get information on how to do a factory reset just go ignored. Since then I dug out my Turbo Chameleon cartridge that I bought in 2014 (from AmiKit, coincidentally) and have been having an absolute blast on that using the Minimig core on it, while my A600GS sits mostly unused.

I thought the A600GS was the device that was really going to ignite a love for the Amiga that I knew had to be in me somewhere but had never really been tapped (being a massive C64 fan from the 1980s), but with all the problems the A600GS has had, and continues to have, it just was not the device to do so. Such a pity.
