A600GS Updates

What deals do you have in place to sell other peoples' software on the AmiStore? Will we be able to buy PixelGlass/BitBeamCannon products like Worthy and the upcoming Metro Siege through the store? What about Cecconoid or ReShoot Proxima III? I like Fred Fish Collection PD games as much as the next man but let's just cut to the chase and ask whether the wider Amiga publishers are on board?

Good stuff! Please get Metro Siege on your AmiStore when it releases and get 2-player network co-op play working!

It would be great if you could show what has already been downloaded in the download section. At the moment I see the games and the option to install but can’t see any indication of the ones already downloaded.

Yes that would be nice.

That's on my todo list to have available version and locally downloaded version, and then offer update and redownload options.

Thanks! Now 'Reshoot Proxima 3 runs at least with decent speed. JIT + Faster Chipset needs to be enabled. 1st Lvl runs 100 %ok, 2nd Lvl stills runs at lower framerate (probably ~20fps) than a M68K A1200/4000/CD32.

Looks like the A600GS may lack some CPU power for modern chipset demanding AGA games? Perhaps building Amiberry with more aggressive CFLAGS on the arm side could improve this a bit?

* Refactor internal floppy drive settings setup to allow configuring multiple drives.

I hoped this change would have allowed to use DF1 per default. At least the changelog reads this way. But it seems that's not the case... still only DF0 enabled.
