A600GS Updates

[champmanager]

i fully understand thanks

[amigakit]

A new update to Amibench is imminent for the A600GS.   It contains our new Type command and updates to Dir and List commands.  Further commands are being developed.



The new Type command has all standard options including MULTI handle multi-assigns if a patch like TrueMultiAssigns isn’t running.  The WIDTH option if given 0 as a parameter will use the entire width of the console window for hex output.  Our developer has also added the HEADER option to improve the output when printing the contents of multiple files.

For me this is not working with the update to .806. When i click an option it reboots directly without doing anything. I'm not able to press the (greyed out) bar below.

I want to start fresh again.

The following software updates for the A600GS have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system.  They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:


46.1.815 (06.09.2024):

ArmGfxLibrary:
Implement line drawing functionality accelerating graphics rendering on Amibench and other applications.

ROM:
Patch p96gfx_hidd to use the above accelerated linedrawing


A600GS:
The update confirmation requester could get locked into disabled state after usage in previous session. Now always creates a fresh requester object at the start of each update session

Rename "DB9 Left Joystick" as "DB9 Joystick 1" and "DB9 Right Joystick" as "DB Joystick 2" for greater clarity and consistency with labelling on casing.

Fix some edit window undo bugs.

AmiBerry:
If AmiBerry had not been run the post install script would fail when it attempted to copy to the Amiberry home directory.  Now checks for directory before copying.

Our in house developer has spent the last 10 days working on porting YAM email client to the A600GS.

There were some lockup bugs in Zune and YAM itself with timers that took some days to diagnose and fix.  These are now resolved and YAM is working well.

The latest 2.10 version for the A600GS supports AmiSSL 5.17 - which is preinstalled in AmiBench.

This week our developer is working on AmiBench enhancements.  The antialiased text will be rendered through the Arm Graphics Library instead of slower 68k code.   We hope to progressively convert more 68k functions across to native ARM code to boost AmiBench graphics performance.
