This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast, Doug takes a deep dive into the brand-new A600GS from AmigaKit, showing viewers how to load up games and even full operating systems onto this compact emulation powerhouse.
The A600GS is a sleek, modern take on Amiga emulation, built around an Orange Pi with a custom expansion board. It delivers solid gaming performance, supports both USB and classic 9-pin joysticks, and includes Wi-Fi for added convenience. Amiga purists will appreciate its compatibility with official Amiga ROMs, while tinkerers can install full Workbench environments, access networked storage, and tweak their setups using HDF files.
Of course, no system is perfect—some high-end Amiga games push the limits and can show a bit of lag. The user interface has its quirks, too, but firmware updates are rolling out regularly, refining the experience. Despite these minor drawbacks, the A600GS is shaping up to be an affordable and flexible choice for Amiga fans, backed by an active development team that keeps improving it.
Tune in to see Doug’s full review and find out whether the A600GS is the next must-have for your retro computing collection!
