A600GS and A1200NG: AmiBrowser V46.20 (Pre Release 2)
AmigaKit has released Pre Release 2 of its AmiBrowser for its emulation-based systems A600GS and A1200NG. Changes:
- Add support for downloading files: currently supports downloading to drawer based and true disks only. RAM: and hardfile based disks will not work, but will fail silently. Hopefully this will be resolved at the next prerelease stage.
- Adds a simple downloads manager window: files downloaded in any given AmiBrowser session are listed, along with full file path and current status. Double click on file entry will open the AmiBench window containing the download.

8-/16-Bit emulator for macOS: Clock Signal V2025-09-14
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. Amiga emulation is included as well. Changes of the latest version:
- corrects palette selection in 1bpp modes and improves timing slightly, while also bringing it into the club of machines that automatically reload tapes/disks/etc if they change outside of the emulator on macOS;
- makes various minor improvements to PC emulation;
- corrects an error with automatic typing into the ZX80 and ZX81.

DiagROM 2.0 Beta
DiagROM is a diagnostic software that is burned into an EPROM by the user and then replaces the regular Kickstart ROM of an Amiga. After alpha version 2.0, now beta version 2.0 is available. Changes:
- 2025-08-30: Improved NTSC Support. Now should print statusline and keep text within NSTC borders during NTSC mode.
New RTC Test function. We now have TWO highly experimental RTC tests. the old one will soon be removed.
Added a experimental way of timing time between seconds in RTC. not sure if useful yet :) requires working CIA.
Some changes in CIA test routine. working on finding a way to detect the TOD bug. do NOT rely on that at the moment.
more cleaning up in source. planning to open up the source in time (VIEWING only!) hopefully quite soon
Decided to go to BETA stage. There are most likly still small bugs in this convertingstage! as always PLEASE report!
- 2025-08-05: More changes to the new CIA test. First fixed my small "oopsie" of naming ODD/EVEN CIAs incorrect. fixed now.
Added test for the TOD (Time of Day) ALARM Function. This requires INT2/6 to work aswell (from CIA)
Also added support for 60Hz screenmode in the test so now machines that are not able to switch to PAL will show if a CIA is OK
IF You have a NTSC machine reporting CIAs as not ok even if they are, please send me a screenshot.
old CIA test will soon be removed when this test shown reliable!. more improvements will come soon.
- 2025-07-05: ok sorry for being messy! Changed back baudrate to 9600 is I felt menus etc more unresponsive on slower machines. what do you think?
Send me a report if you want me to go back to 19200.
Added a new CIA test that I am still working on will be way more in depth now. can find if a CIA cannot trigger IRQs.
something several youtubers have found missing but NOT REPORTING IT!.
to those I would like to send you a VERY VERY deep THANK YOU for NOT REPORTING!. as why would you?
That would make me find out things and improve the software. right?
anyway enough nagging!
also more internally swapped out VBCC to GCC as C Compiler as VBCC simply did not cut it.
- 2025-03-19: Fixed bug that if there was no ram at beginning it did not scan for more ram. not finding working ram later in block if there was any.
Fixed bug that if there was no ram at all it actually halts system and try to show biterrors on screen with rastertricks
