Re: A1200NG motherboard appears at AmigaKit
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


The following software updates for the A600GS and A1200NG have been uploaded through the in-built live update system. They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:

46.2.1402 (13.02.2026):


A600GS/A1200NG System Menu:

* Expand information in System/General Tab

* Add Motherboard memory options to Customise Memory settings, allows up to 64MB extra FAST memory without the conflict with extended amounts of CHIP memory. Useful for customs systems or games that might be more demanding on resources.

* Update built in ROMS to version 51.51 build date 2026-01-28

AmiBench:

* Add SYS:Documentation drawer icon. Put this drawer in browser mode to facilitate descending into sub-drawers without leaving excessive windows open.

* Fix bug with Browser mode updates, that could result in wrong fonts and backgrounds being used when navigating the history.

* The built-in datatype image class now caches images in memory and uses the DTST_MEMORY source type, this avoids clutter in T: whilst still allowing dynamic update of theme imagery.

SystemV46:

* Update regina.library to latest versions as of 2026-01-29 (no version number changes) fixes by the AROS team enhance compatibility and STDIO handling. SAY now writes to the shell window as do runtime errors.

* Update ASL.library to 50.10 (01/12/2026)

* Update ZUNE muimaster.library and classes.

* Update filesysbox.library to 54.8

* Add example SSHFS mount file in SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers. Copy this file into DEVS:DIOSDrivers and edit for easy secure file exchange via sftp backend.

* Add EditPad - a rapidly developing simple text editor.

* Add S:InstallLHA S:Install7z and S:InstallNDK32 helper scripts to assist in installing some useful software via the web.

AmiPDF 46.16:

* Add Menu->Projects->Iconify and minimal ARexx port (QUIT only supported at present more to come)

AmiBrowser 46.37:

* Add Navigation menu with Back Forward and Home, Projects->Iconify menu.
* Add Privacy->Delete All Cookies menu item to clear all cookies.
* Add ARexx port with support for QUIT, OPEN, GET and GO functions.

GO TARGET/K,N/N,BACK/S,FORWARD/S,HOME/S
OPEN URL/A,TARGET/K,RELOAD/S,POST/K,SMART/S
GET ITEM/A,TARGET/K
TARGET is the ID number of a Window, may later be a frame name too.

GET ITEM supports URL and WINDOWID (which can then be used as target)

RELOAD,POST and SMART are not yet implemented but planned soon.

* When closing AmiBench from the AmiBench menu it will attempt to shutdown any instances of YAM, AmiBrowser and AmiPDF before exiting, to help ensure data security.

Programs:

* Add VBCC distribution by kind permission of the authors. By default it is setup for compiling std c library programs but by installing ether 3.5 3.9. 3.2 SDKs in Programs:Programming/NDK it will automatically enable compiling for AmigaOS 3.xx

* The provided helper script S:InstallNDK32 will fetch and install the 3.2 NDK from Aminet.

Re: X5000 Uboot variable for displaying different boot partitions
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


@LyleHaze

Okay, so this is on X1000. Above we were discussing X5000.

But on my X1000, I have this:

MENU_1_COMMAND=boot -fs=amigafs ide0.0:amigaboot.of

This does show me the selection list of volumes to boot from (created by AmigaBoot).

I don't use the "setenv os4_bootdevice auto" bit on my X1000, because there I have one big Kicklayout file with multiple configs, each corresponding to its own subdir in the Kickstart dir, and with a BootDevice module in each config to tell it from which volume to boot WB.

So essentially I have the same as yours, and it works here.

Best regards,

Niels

Re: X5000 Uboot variable for displaying different boot partitions
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


This is all right on target for me.
Affected machine is X1000, I could no longer select the boot volume.

And I'm not quite fixed yet.

Here's what I have now:
8.WB:> nvgetvar MENU_3_LABEL
Boot Select Menu
8.WB:> nvgetvar MENU_3_COMMAND
setenv os4_bootdevice auto; boot -fs=amigafs ide0.1:amigaboot.of

This goes off to a boot select screen that never shows a menu, just a short delay before telling me that I get my default boot volume, which is presumably ide0.1

Yes, I'm too clumsy today, I'm not anxious to break my primary machine. So what should my MENU_3_COMMAND look like to get the selection menu?

And yes, I think this was broken by an update, I'm not sure which one.


Many Thanks for a helpful community,
Lyle

The developer has dropped a major bombshell in his latest update report. Despite Neo Geo having been the lead development system since the very beginning, the Steam (PC) version will actually be released a few months earlier than the Neo Geo version! To learn more about the reasons why, click the link below to read that surprising report.

That report also talks about content completion, and gives fantastic news about the development of the Mega Drive / Genesis version.

Please back the campaign if you're interested in the game. 820 backers are on board, and there's less than £700 left to go to meet the final stretch goal that gives us the six mini-bosses. The developer has publicly signaled the upcoming closure of the campaign, so don't be left out in the cold!

Re: tbimages: missing - how to get to them?

@rjd324

It should be there in the default S:User-Startup, just after the MUI section (BTW MUI and AISS have nothing to do with each other).

If it isn't, just load S:User-Startup into NotePad and add the line

assign tbimages: SYS:Prefs/Presets/tbimages

- just after the MUI section.

That path is where the system should have the (fewer) images installed by the standard OS install, and also where the full AISS install should end up, if you install it.

Best regards,

Niels

@johnfante

Not sure what has happened, but maybe you had some vars set which got overwritten by the UBoot update. (Tip: I always try to do an "NVGetVar > dated_file" in a Shell before messing with UBoot. I even print them off from time to time.)

Anyway, I have the following set which may or may not be relevant:

amigaboot_quiet=n
boot_config=(label of the config I want to be booted as default from the AmigaBoot menu)
bootable_only=y
os4_bootdevice=auto (only relevant if you're not using the BootDevice module in your Kicklayout, but doesn't harm, I think )
preboot=amigabootmenu

Plus what walkero said: Make sure the volumes you want to see are set to bootable (and automount, of course) in Media Toolbox.

Best regards,

Niels

After full AOS 4.1 re-installation with Update 3 and RadeonRX drivers ONLY from ES 2.2 I have stable X5000 and A1222. I do not use any other parts from ES 2.2 at all, also installed everything manually and edited Kicklayout file.

Does anyone know what package it is that inserts this assign into the startup script? I didn't install aiss on my X5 and it is assigned with many files, on my X1 the MUI section is there, but different, and does not do the assign. Both were recent fresh installs of AmigaOS4up12hf3. Both have MUI 5. My X1 does have tbimages in prefs, but, as I say, that MUI section is different.

No feedback so far about Version 1.1 (#25)...is there anybody who tested Version 1.1?

14th Feb 26: Found a bug concerning "Steps"... seems like I am the only one testing this...will be fixed in upcoming RC2

However, the Android Version is WIP, took me a few hours to hunt down a bug, which occured on my mobile only. We are getting there:

@walkero

I have two partitions set as bootable. Primary and test. Normally they show up (defined in kickstart layout file) so I can choose, but after updating Uboot they do not show up anymore. It just boots the primary. My guess is that the variable was changed.

I am not sure if there is a command in uboot. This is picked based on what partitions you have set as bootable in the hard disk setup.
