Workbench Builds.
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: https://www.amigasys.net/ Amikit is not more free: https://www.amikit.amiga.sk/store |

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? |

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.
https://www.amigagameselector.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/share/dfKx4kYjr6KTvg2f/ ![]() It comes with a very comprehensive WHDLoad game launcher as well. ![]() |

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.

26Gb seems quite big for an installation of Workbench. Even ClassicWB with all the Whdload games installed doesn't come to more than 8Gb on my system so not sure what would make Amiga Game Selector so big.

This is the extra stuff you get...
5162 WHDload games and demos with screen, title and cover images. 530 hand picked non WHDLoad games including PD, AGA and RTG games. 52 Premium Games 3266 ROM's and Disk/Tape images for the included emulators. 29 Workbench Games 120 Office, Rendering, Art, Design, Fractal, Music, Programming and Web apps. 11,000 IFF sound samples 1,500 Instruments 57,000 SID tunes 36,000 MOD's. 40 Animations. 1,500 Amiga images. This is why it's so big. The ECS version is only 8gb as it doesn't have any of the extra stuff. |

i downloaded and yes the final size are 52 GB (26 GB is zip archive). Actually i think it is the best Amiga games compilation around. Maybe for some aspect could be not the more complete, but about games is better than any other solutions that seem obsolete compared to this one.
Very good job for the author of this great compilation! |

Does have a lot to it but for someone who doesn't have an interest in SID tunes, Instruments, Animation, Images, Office or Emulation on the Amiga it's a big download. Would be better if there was a bare bones Workbench version and each other part was a separate download for those who want them or so you can choose what you add to it.

This project aims to include every single game from years 1985-1995. There is no Workbench, for copyright reasons but it's rather simple to build one using ClassicWB or the like. Then you can mount the supplied HDD images with WHDL installs, and the included adfs cover the rest. |
