YouTuber Retrocengo reviews AGS v2.7, the newest Amiga Game Selector image created for ECS systems. This release supports Amiga models including the 500, 600, 1000, 2000, 3000, and CDTV. It appeals to users who prefer authentic hardware over emulators.
Real Hardware Performance
Using an Amiga 2000 with a Spitfire 2000 accelerator, Retrocengo tests AGS v2.7 in several configurations. It runs smoothly between 14 and 50 MHz, with 1MB of Chip RAM and 8MB of Fast RAM giving the best balance.
He loads WHDLoad titles, uses Deluxe Paint, and runs HippoPlayer to demonstrate the image’s flexibility. These tests show that AGS v2.7 performs well on ECS hardware, including the Amiga 500.
Hardware Highlights
The Spitfire 2000 accelerator proves its strength throughout the review. Retrocengo shows how it loads ROMs, disables the onboard CPU, and bypasses the motherboard Kickstart ROM. Its versatility gives Amiga fans more control over their setups.
Final Thoughts
Retrocengo keeps the focus on real hardware rather than emulation. His gameplay demos highlight both the fun and technical polish of AGS v2.7. He ends by recommending ACA500+ users try the new release, praising its balance of speed and stability on classic machines.
