I`ll try that, the only thing left to do I suppose.

Lets try and get this back on topic, as last few posts are comparing ARM SoC to a Full PC SoC. Pointless to compare that way.

Anyway, I tried LionHeart, screen and scrolling perfect here, only issue I did notice, was sound very slightly choppy.
We have'nt even gone into tweaking settings as yet. We are planning to.

I ordered one two months ago and haven't seen any change in the status on AmigaKit's website other than "Pending".

On the plus side it must mean that sales have been good and exceeded expectations? A robust and healthy Amiga market in 2024?

Could always email or PM me here. So I can check where you are. We are making them as fast as we can.

Hm... I'm still waiting for my A600GS :/

Glad to hear, FOL!

I hope that "all" 68k will work without problems in the near future.

I also hope that you can get crt filters working some time soon!

Was VRR turn on for your TV? Your experience was wildly different from mine. I wasn't experiencing a few frames dropped here and there, the emulator was clearly struggling with lot's of consistent drops (1st Stage), the only time the scrolling returned to a consistent frame rate was the 2nd stage inside the cave, minus all the parallax and copper gradients giving the emulator some breathing space.

Sorry to harp on about this, just trying to give some feedback.

As mentioned before your reply. Pm me.

@FOL. Variable Refresh Rate. It can smooth out inconsistences with fluctuating frame rates. Some modern TV's have this feature, along with other motion smoothing modes, my current display had them on by default until I turned them off.

Explains that, I turn all that rubbish off personal.

1) The A600GS SoC, Allwinner H616, does not support VRR. It only has a HDMI 2.0a

2) FOL is too cheap to own a 120Hz TV

I'm still wondering was anyone else disappointed with a600gs?

The A600GS SOC is the later H618 (not a H616) which maybe HDMI 2.1

Nope ....

Pretty standard in some Android TV Boxes and so on ... still HDMI 2.0 only ...
