A600GS Updates

[amigakit.com]

A restructure of Programs partition on the AmiBench on the A600GS:



Games drawer added for games that can start from AmiBench, such as WHDLOAD / JST games packs.

Office drawer icon added. This is for applications such as Final Writer.




Time Prefs updated to v46.21 which adjusts the tab corners to rounded edges.

Looking nice...

The following software updates for the A600GS have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system. They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:


46.1.776 (26.07.2024):


AmiBerry:
Merge with latest AmiBerry release, retaining the threaded SDL rendering for performance.
A couple of small fixes for valgrind.
The Status bar was overwriting the end of the SDL surface by 1 line, causing crashes when the Surfaces were freed. FIXED.
Add a custom RTG screen mode to support "Future Attractions"
A600GS:
Add improved error handling and reporting to the update process.
Fix up left over GUI locks after update failures (and occasionally success!)

The GPIOCtrl object could be disposed off uninitialised if the application exited very soon after startup, typically when passed an incorrect command-line arg, that only happens in testing. FIXED

Improve handling of incorrect arguments, catching the correct exception in the on_cmd() signal handler.

Build script tweaks
Wrong flag was tested for reinstalling programs

When the start button on gamepad was pressed as the "any key to start" the joystick handler would switch modes, leaving a trailing key down event that would trigger autorepeat. FIXED.

Update archive unpacking errors now throw exceptions, for error reporting through the previously fixed mechanism

SystemV46:
Add SYS:Prefs/Time and SYS:System/TimeGuard to allow time setting independent of the host machine.
Setup InstallerNG
Some config changes to support "Future Attractions"

Programs:
Add Games directory to support "Future Attractions"

We have plans for internet linked Amiga games on our roadmap

We will investigate the Composite output.

A mouse/keyboard bundle will be coming in future.

Excellent news! As for the CVBS out... I would be happy to look into this if you want to send out a test machine

We are gradually getting there- our in house developer has been putting many hours of work in the last few weeks. Over the coming months we have so many other features and ideas to push to A600GS users through the Amisphere Updates.

Ok

Something like this would bring new life to old games!
