AmiBench help and suggestions

[E5150]

Hi!

I am a new member here. I have been using an Amiga 1200 (my first computer), but my knowledge is pretty basic regarding the original AmigaOSes and anything "power user" oriented.
I came back to Amiga scene recently and my A1200 is not working anymore, I decided to get into emulation with A600GS.

My interest is in AmiBench and what can I do with it?

Is anyone willing to explain what AmiBench really is, what can be installed to make it more usable (programs, games, tools, utilities...), share some screenshots of your custom AmiBench and what else is possible...

I am trying to understand and learn about A600GS and the Amiga emulation as a whole as much as I can, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanx for the links!

BTW, is there a way to disable automatic Backdrop change on every restart? In WBPatterrn there is a LIVE option but it does not save when disabled

Go to PREFS > AMIBENCH > PATTERN and just delete every backdrop you don´t want there and/or insert a new one of your choice

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone have any idea how to nicely line the desktop icons vertically? If I select clean up by column from the window menu it does nothing. Selecting clean up by name, date, size or type the icons line up horizontally right at the top of the screen (which makes selecting them awkward as the Amibench menu bar pops up over them a bit!).

(first world problems lol!).

Thanks,

Nick.

Add this line to your user-startup :

makelink RAM:Disk.info ENVARC:Sys/def_RAM.info soft

After that, just arrange the icons how you like them (drag them where you want) and do a SNAPSHOT ALL ...

Reset and you're done
