If anyone is wondering, all the mods for the A500 mini work fine on the new update like Pandory, AGS and Aminimiga if anyone was holding out just in case of updating issues

[@dj_dazzy]

Thanks

[@jamesbarker5535]

I had forgotten how to update the firmware myself, so thanks for showing us 👍
The A500 Mini has been my go to system for a while now. Even got my 10 and 7 year old boys into The Settlers, they absolutely love it 😀

[@YouveBeenGamed]

Me too! Thankfully as I went along it all came back to me!

[@cliveevans6852]

Thank you for the reminder, greatly appreciated 👍

[@YouveBeenGamed]

No worries! I needed the reminder myself!

[@SteMan1971]

Really appreciate this

[@YouveBeenGamed]

No problem, happy to help! Thanks for watching

[@geribaldi2]

JUST got it, unboxed (first place going too is here) ^_^

[@YouveBeenGamed]

Very kind, hope it helps! Have fun!

[@AnimatedAF]

Quite a few games that didn't work for me before are now working: for example the audio was mostly missing on Gobliins 2 but is now perfect afaik. Looking forward to testing more games when I can!

[@YouveBeenGamed]

That's awesome to hear. I haven't had time to test many what with making these videos but I'm hearing good things!

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

Great.I hear Pandory won't break this upgrade path.

[@njj1]

I need to dig my system out again as haven't played it for along time. Don't think I've ever updated it. Excited to see what's changed

[@YouveBeenGamed]

I'll admit I hadn't played mine for a while. It was nice to get back into it

[@RalphAstley]

Thanks - successful update though everything froze for several minutes but seems fine now. I'm hoping some games that didn't work before will work now. Not sure about Time Bandit - might give it a miss!

[@DuckManMascot]

im currently updating to 1.2.1 so far i am waiting a long time for the installation to be complete... ill updute you all on how long it actually takes..

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

Still want to see a carousel editor, like what's available for the C64 mini.

[@djennewa1]

With the new firmware i am trying to load pandory and am just getting the workbench splash screen. Any ideas?

[@TRONMAGNUM2099]

Thanks! I actually want to try that game just to see if there is a way to beat it.

[@YouveBeenGamed]

You couldn't do any worse than I did!

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

Be mindful the WHDLOAD PACKAGE may be deleted. It was overwritten on my usb stick, I got the barcode message, albeit Pandory still loaded. Luckily I'd put the Amiga roms in another directory. I unzipped the whdload package from Retro Games again. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.
Hopefully that's the only issue I'll get. Speccy emulator still doing nothing with my 2 gamepads.
Anybody else have issues with Speccy? Oh and Atari ST not working. I have added the boot TOS. No go.

[@SensibleChuckle]

I want to follow along but I can't understand what you're saying with music drowning you out. 😢
