A600gs Problems

[F0LLETT]

I received my A600gs yesterday, I really like it, but there are a number of problems with it.

Backup/Restore:
Restore to Inbuilt Defaults non-functional

I will report this.

Menu System:
Dialog '\n' not working, showing 'N'

It doesn't allow certain characters.

Amibench:
Copying files/data from USB does not work - 0 byte files.
Cannot change screen resolution
Cannot resize/change fonts - unable to restart Amibench, requiring restore from my user backup.

0kb files, we are aware of, being debugged.
Will report other 2 issues.

These are with firmware 46.1.751, my system says there is an update today - 46.1.762 however, I cannot update:

Says there is an update, click and nothing happens.
Try again and buttons greyed out, unable to do anything. Forced reboot required.


I'm sure these are all teething problems that will be fixed.

Your a bit to quick, it was being uploaded, hence you could not update.

Lastly SysInfo crashes the emulator and goes back to the disk selection menu!

Not sure on this, will have to ask.

To add to that,

I just updated my own and it updated fine.

Since restoring to inbuilt defaults doesn't work on mine.  I've restored everything from the user backup I did when I first got it.  I then rebooted and tried the update again.

It downloaded a number of files, maybe 9 or more and said it would soft boot after.  Then the dialog vanished, the Amisphere Profile screen is showing, everything else is greyed out and it's not doing anything.

Short of cutting the power I don't know what to do now.

You have no option but to pull power. When you try again, first select something in GS games menu, like octamed. Then go to update, if it gets stuck. Press Start on joypad.
This is a little trick to get out of it. It will launch the last thing you had selected. You can then use pause menu to get back to GS main menu.
We are aware of this issue and its being looked into. I get this myself, however its generally, when a new update is currently being uploaded.

Doesn't help that this forum is offline most time I try and I guess AmigaKit are closed at weekends.

Its not offline most of the time. Someone or something is causing the database server to crash. Its being looked into.
Yes, we are closed weekends.

I did try Octamed from the game launcher, again it did fail.
Also I did try the restore to inbuilt defaults, they still do not do anything.

Both issues have been reported.
