A600GS Updates

[alexh]

I think they are angling for the ability to overwrite the entire FW with something else and then restore it at some time in the future like you can with some other android/linux based mini consoles.

I thought RGL had already moved on to other things anyway, like Atari console. They are not really interested in the Amiga, only what ever mini consoles generate a quick revenue stream.

RGL are about to release the Amiga Maxi as you know, so hardware and software development from them is far from dead! The RGL Carousel doesn't have internet compatibility and hence firmware updates just add new features which you can take or leave really. The soft mods which includes internet functionality are being constantly updated. I started using Pandory V3 last month and it's great!

Here is another A600GS video showing how easy it is to change disks and save states of games for instant playback at that point. In this case the game is Alien Breed. We hope you enjoy the video!

The comment: "everything is cracked these days isn't it" lol - given the game isn't included due to licencing, would you not fall foul of promoting a video on official channel that is circumventing such licences (cracked version evidently used)?...

Other than that, looks pretty slick! Nice work!

The files will still be available since everyone can download them and store them, so just up to someone to share it (like any other device without operating owner).

Amiga Maxi is coming soon, so they are totally interested in Amiga, very weird comment!

The point being you have to softmod it. Why have they not updated Amiberry or included features people want like internet. I would love to be able to edit carousel and add games I want, instead of messing with a USB stick. Yes, I am an actual user of A500 Mini. I have to use pandory, just to be able to use my Floppy Drawbridge.

You missed my point completely, I remember a patch for a kickstart that was done around 2010 and it was never uploaded for a very long time. Proberly cause main site that housed it went down not long after its release.

Lets wait and see, what approach they take. Every one moaned about lack of mini features and stuff. They still haven't addressed alot of what people want on Mini.
