I have a USB stick, and have put it in before running AmiBench.

It is a Toshiba USB2.0 32GB stick. Formatted to FAT32

The A600 knows its there, as I can install games from the menu but when I load AmiBench I do not see it on the desktop.

What is the designation (as in DF0: for disk drives etc)?
The drive is formatted as FAT32, is that OK or does it need to be something else?

Try NTFS.

I tried NTFS - the A600 didn't recognise it in either the menu or AmiBench.
Also tried ExFat, which worked in the menu, but again, didn't show in AmiBench.

Is the NTFS supposed to be a certain version? AFAIK different versions of Windows used different versions of NTFS, and I'm formatting it in Windows 10, which (I think) uses NTFS 5.1

EDIT: just thought of allocation size, does that need to be set to a specific size?
Just trying to think of everything I can

I get it now.

Either Follet wasn't saying it right or I wasn't reading it right.

With USB stick, insert it before running amibench.

That makes it sound to me like you can insert a USB while the A600 is turned on, then start AmiBench and it will work.

I've just found the USB has to be inserted BEFORE TURNING THE A600 ON. If it's inserted while on, even before running AmiBench, then AmiBench won't recognise it.

Just tested with a Verbatim USB 3.0 stick as well as the aforementioned Toshiba drive, both FAT32 - both are recognised in AmiBench if I insert it before turning the A600 on.

It works fine if inserted after switch on, it just needs time to mount. If you click add game, it should list it there in drives list.

But that's exactly what I was doing - I would insert the USB drive, click add game and verify that the drive was mounted, after which I would launch AmiBench. But it wasn't working that way. The drive icon was not appearing in AmiBench when done that way.

It only worked for me when I inserted the drive with the A600 off, then switched it on and went into AmiBench afer it booted.
