Amiga Kit attended Kickstart 02 show this weekend. The new A600GS was demonstrated and had a great reception. Thanks to all who came past our stand and chatted to us about the new computer.

Inflation in the U.K I’m afraid 🤷🏻‍♂️


A second price increase in mere weeks.  The price went from GBP 129.99 to GBP 132.99, and now to GBP 134.99 !

Is the central bank in your country not doing its job to keep inflation under control ?!

Unfortunately Mark Carney (The Canadian) who was the U.K Governor of the Bank of England is no longer in charge… 😉🤣

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:


46.1.739:


A600GS:
The yellow button was still mapped to RETURN during startup, so no longer started AmiBench as this had been changed to F12
In the joystick handler keep track of the last key press emitted and clear when released.
When the joystick handler switches to JOYSTICK_MODE_GAME_RUNNING and the above is set emit a release code for that key, to prevent the host OS initiating key repeat....
This fixes the instantly closing PAUSE MENU in some games.

Saving amisphere credentials would only work if credentials had previously been saved as the save credentials flag itself was not saved ...
The save flag is now saved separately to the credentials avoiding the catch 22
When save is not set any previously saved credentials are purged from disk when AmiSphereUser is destructed. (ie. at program exit and on user logout).

AmiBerry:
Minor changes to improve interaction with A600GS GUI

A interesting review of the A600GS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOU3gSKnAfY

When watching the video review, the reason that PPaint stalled was the icon was double clicked twice on the dock in AmiBench so two copies were launched together. We will fix the AmiBench dock to prevent that in future.

Wow, one can open and close programs?!

That was rather rudimentary, and frankly the system appears a bit sluggish.

Great review 👍🏻 A lot of neigh sayers in the comments. But as I see it, a lot of software updates being produced to fix the bugs. Any news on accessories such as a branded Keyboard and mouse?

Long drive, then there always seem to be traffic jams and roadworks. Especially on a Friday.
We got there even later this year, I had half hour to drop stuff at NCFC.

Finally...

Teardown video:

Looks good. Possibility of upgrading the Orange Pi there? Looks like a WiFi aerial antenna as well?
