Workbench Builds.

[Bazzietuk]

Does anyone have a complete list of workbench builds people have done for emulators? Complete workbenches with add-ons etc (to add bling) or make it look and feel more like windows for instance without needing too high level of resources. Preferably running on a stock A1200 emulated on WinUAE.

I've tried a few but would like a complete list of other builds to try in HDF images or using ADF to install to a virual hard drive file on WinUAE.

I've tried most of the ClassicWB ones and ones through a usergroup on Facebook by Zebs build (which is quite good), just wondering if there's better ones out there using true colour icons/backgrounds etc.

Please list and link to the images to try and add a screenshot if possible.

on stock A1200 it runs only Workbench 3.0/3.1 with very few add-ons. To see nice workbench you need RTG system, much Fast RAM and fast processors (68040/68060)
you can try AmigaSYS 4 or Amikit, but as said to have very good satisfaction you must have very fast Amiga or very fast emulated Amiga.

Amigasys4 is totally free:

Amikit is not more free:

Got Amigasys4 working quite impressed with a lot of it and it works fine after updating WHDLoad to the latest version.

Seems to work quicker than the Zebs one I was using before even on the same spec emulated Amiga as that one.

Any others to add to the list?

Wasn't aware of that, thanks ...

Tried AIAB and ClassicWB. Wasn't too impressed with them personally but thank you for mentioning those

You could try Amiga Game Selector. It's available for WinUAE, A500 Mini, Raspberry Pi, Retroarch/Mister, Amiga A1200/4000 and PiStorm32. An ECS/OCS version will be out in a few weeks as well.

It comes with a very comprehensive WHDLoad game launcher as well.

Wow, I hadn't heard of Amiga Game Selector. Pretty neat. Thanks for sharing.

I have heard of AGS but actually i haven't understood what it is about. I thought it was something like booting directly in a game selection menu.
But it is in real a whole workbench?

Actually both. You can get a game selection menu. But also boot into a Workbench. Quite nice actually.
