Ok, I already shared some of my experience over at EAB but I thought I put it here since this is the "official" A600GS forum ... please be aware that I am not trying to make things look bad, I really like the A600GS and I really want to use it, but at this point it is not really possible
Ok, some thoughts before I get into the list, the A600GS is a neat device and AmiBench is a real good step in bringing the Workbench feeling to a "kind of" modern Desktop environment. The problem is : you cannot really use it the way it is meant to be and that would be a Workbench replacement.
- there is no way to use my normal keyboard layout, doesn´t matter what I choose in the GS menu, it will always be UK
- you got JPG/PNG Datatypes, but you cannot display those formats, you only get a black image in MultiView
- OctaMedPlayer won't load any module (wrong format) but I will say I won´t know if that one needs a special OctaMed format
- HippoPlayer crashes (" There is a Problem with the Player group" )
- Eagleplayer loads the module but plays way too fast and when it is finished I get a Recoverable Alert crashing AmiBench
- no chance of playing back mp3 with e.g. AmigaAmp ... this stutters as hell
- choosing the timezone or getting the time from the net crashes AmiBench so the time is always wrong
- no chance getting a browser to work, always moaning about MUI mcc files, I even copied them over from my A1200 and set the assigns, still nothing
- SysInfo crashes AmiBench
- how can I use DF1: ? it´s in the list but I cannot put an ADF into it ...
On the positive side is ADF and WHDLoad adding to the menu is really nice, but that´s something the A500 Mini can do as good as the A600GS ...
