Three questions about A600GS
« on: August 10, 2026, 01:03:59 PM »
Hej all! I'm evaluating to buy a A600GS. Next year I will have more free time I hope, but for the coming months my life will be busy as in the past years. With this scenario in mind I'm postponing the purchase of a modern Amiga like A1222. Still I would have fun with a classic compatible machine like A600GS and play some titles I have in my hearth and also remove the rust from my Amiga knowledge. So I have few questions for you users and maybe AmigaKit staff:
1) Is AmigaOS 3.2 working ok with A600GS? I would love to install it alongside Amibench.
2) I would love to buy a second gamepad, any change to buy a second A600GS or a similar/identical gamepad?
3) Does anyone have tried The Shadow of the Third Moon on A600GS? In that case have you tried the "060 1.5 patch"?

I really would love to play TSotTM on A600GS but I fear it could be hard since it requires the CD inserted for CDDA tracks.

Thanks!

Hey, I can maybe try that third question for you. If you could send me over a HDF or something.

As for 3.2, I'm pretty sure that'd be possible, although I haven't tried it myself. I've added my own 3.1, 2.0 and 1.3 setups on a HDF via FS-UAE, then loaded them on the A600GS without issue.

You can get a DE9 connector pad from this guy - https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=85056. Probably other USB options out there too.

Hope that sort of helps! Cheers

Thanks! Yeah I've discovered that gamepad during my searches in the past weeks. I will keep an eye on it. I found it quite strange that Amigakit doesn't sell additional Gamepads.

About the HDF I will let you know.

I have successfully used a Hyperkin Scout controller with my A600GS.  It comes with an extra-long cord.  https://www.hyperkinstore.com/products/scout-premium-usb-controller-hyperkin

Works with the AmigaOne A1222+, too,
