The Arrival of the A1200NG – Unboxing, Installation and Usage
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂 In this post we’ll have a look at my new A1200NG, a replacement board for the Amiga 1200.
About the A1200NG
Some of you may remember that I published a review of the A600GS in December 2024. I’ve been pleased with this little computer and have used it for everything from productivity to gaming.
The A600GS next to the Amiga 1200When AmigaKit came out with the news that they were going to release a replacement board for the Amiga 1200 called A1200NG, I was intrigued. Since I already had an A600GS, I was on the fence for a while.
In the meantime, my original Amiga 1200, which I bought decades ago, started to get more and more unreliable. In its last days, it was a gamble whether it would turn on or not. I then decided to jump on the pre-order train and get the A1200NG to replace the motherboard.
I’m most likely getting the original board repaired in the future, but for the coming years, it is good to have something new and stable that will (hopefully) work without problems for a long time.
The price, including shipping for the pre-order, was EUR 188.
Fast forward to May 2025, I received a message saying that a package had arrived at the local Post i butikk (post office in a grocery store). It was from AmigaKit and contained the brand new A1200NG motherboard, as well as accessories (set for connecting the original floppy disk drive from my A1200, labels, and more)!
The package from AmigaKit.Before we look at some photos of the unboxing, here is some general information about the A1200NG:
It is very similar in operation to the A600GS, since it has the same built-in menu and launcher for games, applications, and demos, as well as AmiBench.
- Compatibility: Fits into original Commodore Amiga 1200, Escom, and reproduction desktop cases.
- Operating System: Supports multiple OS installations with direct boot options.
- Display: HDMI-compatible 1080p output.
- Connectivity: Wireless internet, Bluetooth audio output, RS232 serial port (DB25).
- Storage: 64GB or 128GB micro SD card, with internal/external USB headers for additional storage options. (I went for the 128GB one, as it is nice to have some extra space)
- Memory: 4GB system RAM, with 1GB Fast Memory allocated for AmiBench.
- Ports: Dual 9-pin joystick ports, 34-pin floppy header, USB ports, Compact Flash reader, and audio RCA outputs.
- Software: Pre-installed with AmiBench, Personal Paint, OctaMED, Directory Opus, Final Writer, YAM email client, and various games.
The current price is approximately. EUR 191. There are optional add-ons that increases the price, as well as opting for more storage space.
Please have a look at the official webpage on the website of AmigaKit for more information about what is included and so forth.
https://www.amigakit.com/a1200ng-motherboard-p-91333.html
Now let us move onto the unboxing. 🙂
Unboxing
First, here are the photos of the unboxing.
The items were well protected! The A1200NG insulation layer on top, the two boxes below. Two nice boxes appears! Accessories Here you can see the new motherboard, as well as the backplate, HDMI-cable and the manual. The PSU and the floppy disk connection setInstallation
As previously mentioned, I had decided to use my old Amiga 1200 case for this project. The A1200NG allowed me to use the old floppy disk drive and keyboard as well, but also the CF HD I had connected to the IDE port. It also has the standard mouse/joystick port we all know from the classic Amiga’s, so you can use your old (or new) mouse as well. I prefer a wireless one, so inserted the adapter from Logitech and the mouse started working at once.
The case is quite worn. It has been with me since I was a student many, many years ago. Every time I’ve moved since then, I’ve had it with me. I’m sure some readers who have visited this site many times over the years will recognize it from older posts. 😉 It has been the home of several different turbo-cards, upgrades, hard drives, and so forth. It has even been to an Amiga demoparty! Now it will house the A1200NG. So please don’t mind the cracks and dents of it, it’s seen a lot during the years. 😉 Keep in mind the case actually looks better on the photos than in real life.
The old case My Amiga 1200 motherboard The new motherboard! Floppy disk drive installed. Keyboard installed. A1200NG inside! New badge! Serial 58. 🙂 First boot! It works! 🙂 The First Start Wizard appears. The menu is up and running! Updating to the latest firmware. The first launch of AmiBench!After the installation, it was time to get it configured software wise.
Here you can see I have installed several custom system setups. I have transferred the files from my old Amiga 1200 CF harddrive to the Work partition on the A1200NG, so that I can access it on all my setups. Downloads are available. Here you will find games such as Deluxe Galaga and Santatron. The sidebar menu. Time to add a game in ADF format. You can also add WHD-Load packages for example. Gloom Deluxe running! Here you can see different options when it comes to adding software. More options! Adding the racing game Nitro. Configuring the game. It is working! 🙂The installation went fine and everything works as it should, even the old floppy drive is still ticking along. 😉
I will not do a write-up of how to install the system in this post, but have noted some helpful pointers below that I hope will help.
For how to install, I recommend the manual, but most of all the videos made by Iowtheme.
Here is one from him of how to install the A1200NG in a case:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6YxyAYxRVc
Here is another with the First Time Wizard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNXDDHl523M
Now, there are a few things which are important to remember when setting up the A1200NG (just like with the A600GS):
- INTERNET: Connection to the Internet is done with the Network option in the sidebar menu. Wireless works out of the box, so you can insert the name of your home network and password, and then get online straight away. There is also a port for Ethernet connection on the board if you don’t have wireless where you are.
- AMISPHERE: Log into AMISPHERE straight away to get the firmware updated to the latest version. If you do not have an AMISPHERE account, I highly recommend getting it straight away. The firmware is often updated and bugs fixed. It is vital to keep the system updated!
- KICKSTART ROMS: Have some Kickstart ROM’s ready on a USB stick. Many games and demos requires an original Kickstart (not AROS) to work properly. In the First Start Wizard you are prompted to import Kickstart ROM’s, so it is handy to have them all ready. If you are not sure where to get these from, I recommend getting them from Cloanto through Amiga Forever.
- USB-HUB: The A1200NG has two USB ports on the back – this is not enough if you want to have a wireless mouse, a USB stick, a game controller hooked up. I recommend getting an USB hub first thing. You will also make life easier for the USB port it is plugged into if you often swap devices.
- MENU SHORTCUT: Make a good key combination for bringing up the A1200NG menu when you are in a game, system, demo or something else. I use L-ALT and HELP. On the A600GS you could use the controller, but that one is not included with the A1200NG.
Summary
All in all, I’m very happy with the A1200NG. Using it is very much like the A600GS, except that I get the feeling I’m still using my old Amiga 1200. Having the original keyboard, the floppy drive, the same case, makes for a a very nice experience.
As of now, I’m customizing and setting up various systems (one for Workbench 3.1 with 68030, another for a more faster classic experience, configuring AmiBench, adding games and demos, and more..). I’m looking forward to experiment more with it in the coming months! 🙂
Hope you’ve enjoyed this post, and that you will come back and check out some other content here on the Old School Game Blog!
Thanks for reading and have a great day! 🙂
Best regards,
Puni

A Review of the A600GS from AmigaKit
Hi everyone,
Back in the summer, I put in an order for the then upcoming A600GS from AmigaKit. Sadly, I have not been very active since then. Various circumstances also put a stop to blogging. Recently, I’ve had more time and energy to look into this little machine.
The A600GS and the Amiga 1200 – Photo by PuniThought I’d do a quick write-up about how it has worked for me so far. I hope you’ll find it helpful if you are in the market for one, or of interest if you are just curious about it in general. 🙂
About the A600GS
The A600GS is a new games and computer system created by AmigaKit. It has an inbuilt menu and launcher for games, applications and demos. Beside this it has its own operative system called AmiBench.
Specifications:
- Orange Pi Zero 3
- All Winner H618 Quad-Core Cortex-A53 ARM 1.5 Ghz
- 4 GB RAM
- 64 GB of storage capacity
- 3 x USB 2, 2 x ports for old Amiga mouse and joysticks, Micro-HDMI, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5 audio port
According to the website of AmigaNG, the board is slightly faster than a Raspberry Pi 3. It is also faster than THEA500 Mini. Still, it is not as fast as a Raspberry Pi 4.
The software is being run through an emulator called Amiberry. Work is on-going on drivers to make AmiBench use the hardware natively.
Modern keyboards and mouse, either wired or wireless, can easily be connected to it. Devices can also be connected with Bluetooth. You can connect to the Internet for updates and downloads through Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Also, which may be surprising to some, is that it has 880K Floppy Drive Support, and can read and write to real 880K floppy disks through DrawBridge USB floppy drives (hardware additional purchase).
The Content
I received it during summer/early autumn. Keep in mind that I did not take many photos of it then. The ones below are new ones taken recently. 🙂 My impressions are also from the last days when I’ve spent time with it. Now, let us have a look at what the package contained.
Here is the box itself:
The box – Photo by PuniInside the box was the A600GS computer, a gamepad, power-lead with on/off-button, manual, and a micro HDMI-cable.
The unit – Photo by Puni The gamepad – Photo by Puni Manual – Photo by Puni Inside the manual – It is in full color and looks very professional – Photo by PuniInstallation
Setting up the A600GS was quite straightforward. First, I hooked up the unit to an old Philips I90TW 19″ TV with the included micro-HDMI to HDMI cable. For sound I prefer using a headset, so I connected that to the 3.5 inline audio port. I then plugged in the USB-transmitter for my wireless keyboard and mouse combo from Logitech. I also plugged the included gamepad into another USB-port.
Photo by PuniWith that set, I was ready to do the first boot. The manual includes all the information you need on how to do this.
Internet and AmiSphere
Upon first boot, I highly recommend getting the computer registered through AmiSphere. To do this, you need to set up an Internet connection. A very easy (and quick) way is to share Internet from your phone and let the A600GS connect to that. There is a menu tab called Network on the left hand side of the screen. Click on it. Then make a new Wifi connection. Connect to this one and you are all set.
To create an AmiSphere account, click on the Create Account in the menu. Fill in all the details. Select the other tab called Register Product to get the computer registered.
Once Online and with an AmiSphere account, you’ll get access to downloads and updates. These include the newly included game, Santatron 2024 from Nivrig Games (and a lot more). 🙂
AmigaKit is regularly putting up new software, so it is worth checking in from time to time. For AmigaOS 4 users, I can report that all my purchases from AMIStore showed up in the list of downloads.
AmiBench
One of the major features of the A600GS is AmiBench. This is an OS developed by AmigaKit. Users of Enhancer on AmigaOS 4 will recognize a lot of its contents from there. I have not tested AmiBench much myself yet. I am looking forward to investigating it further. I am especially interested in using it with software like Hollywood from Airsoft Softwair.
Screenshot of the A600GS WikiAmiBench is partly built upon AROS and contains datatypes, commands and so forth from AmigaKit and A-EON Technology. You’ll get a high resolution desktop with modern looking icons. It looks similar to a spiced up Workbench. There are many included applications ready to go, like Hippoplayer, Directory Opus, OctaMED, Personal Paint, Final Writer and more.
If you want to add more programs and games, you can for example put those on an USB stick and copy them over to the A600GS and use them in AmiBench.
Keep in mind though, that not all software is compatible. The only way to find out it is to try and see. You can also visit a thread on Amiga.org created by SkulleateR which lists working and non-working software. The information provided there comes from A600GS users.
The Launcher
As mentioned earlier, the A600GS has an in-built launcher and menu system. Here you can configure everything from resolution, audio, network and so forth. More importantly, it is here you add games, programs and demos and launch them through the menu.
Here you can select which software to import – Photo by PuniSoftware can be added as ADF, WHDLoad or HDF. Each title can be configured to use the Kickstart version of your choice, be it the integrated A600GS one, Kickstart 1.3 or Kickstart 3.1 (and others).
Please note, however, that only the A600GS Kickstart is included! You will need to add the other ones yourself due to licensing issues. Fortunately, these are easily available through Cloanto’s Amiga Forever package for example.
HDF is the format you’ll need to use to bring a Classic Amiga harddrive setup over to the A600GS. You can create this in WinUAE on the PC. I set one up quickly with 850 MB. Installed Workbench 3.1 to it and added my development folders for Void (Blitz Basic, AMOS etc.). I then copied it over the computer and added it as an HDF using Kickstart 3.1 and Amiga 1200 “mode” and it booted fine. It was then like using the Amiga 1200, but with different hardware of course.
WHDLoad and ADF are excellent for games and demos. With WHDLoad you don’t have to worry much about compatibility and setting the right system up, as well as not needing to change disks while playing.
With ADF you must have a little bit of knowledge about whether the software works on the Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200 for example to set it up correctly. There are many demos and games that does not have WHDLoad support and these will be in the ADF format.
Here you can see the thumbnails of the different entries – Photo by PuniEach piece of software can be edited in the menu to contain a thumbnail. You can make your own by taking a screenshot while running the software and save it as a thumb.
Select “Save Screen Shot To Thumb” to do exactly this – Photo by PuniYou can also add information about the publisher and so forth. Very nice! I like configuring stuff like this, and it makes the menu of the launcher look great! 😉
Another feature, which you can see from the screenshot above, is that you can save your progress in games by using “Save State”. Many games on the Amiga does not contain a save game feature, but here you can save whenever you feel like it. Image playing Pinball Dreams for 25 minutes and you are on the roll with a superb score, but then you suddenly have to leave… Now you can save the game and come back later to improve the score even more. 😉 Very handy I think!
As for compatibility, you’ll just have to try and see what works and what doesn’t. The A600GS is still new in the market and people have not tested everything yet. The machine gets updates regularly, with fixes and improvements, so if something didn’t work two months ago, it might work now. 🙂
More Information
The go-to place for the A600GS is Amiga.org. Here you can participate in discussions, report bugs, get technical help and so forth.
Another place to visit is the official A600GS Wiki:
https://wiki.amiga.org/index.php/A600GS
It is filled with helpful information on everything from AmiBench to explanation of the different buttons on the controller and what they do.
The product page on the website of AmigaKit can be found here.
My Experience
My opinion of the A600GS is very positive so far. Although I have not used AmiBench much yet, I have tested many games and demos through the launcher. Most of what I’ve tried so far works great!
Greetro by Void – Photo by Puni Wrong Way Driver by Abyss – Photo by PuniThis includes several productions from Void, including the Absolute Dølle music-disk and the demo Greetro from Space released at MountainBytes 2024, as well as many games like Wrong Way Driver by Abyss and Deluxe Galaga (available as a download). The racing game Nitro runs well too! For other activities, I have used the Workbench 3.1 HD setup (the HDF file I mentioned earlier) and that one also runs nicely.
Another aspect that I think is important, is that it was very easy to hook up a keyboard and a mouse to the unit. Maybe I was lucky, but this worked flawlessly. No need to fiddle with any settings at all. In my case it only takes up one USB-slot. 🙂
One of the most important things is that the A600GS is regularly updated. New games are added, bugs are taken care off and drivers for AmiBench are either improved or added. This is big advantage compared to THEA500 Mini, which does not have this level of active on-going development behind it.
All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m looking forward spending a lot of time with it the coming year.
Thanks for reading my review of the A600GS. Hope it was of interest. See you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog!
PS: Any other A600GS out there? If yes, what are your experiences with it? Are you happy with it? Hope to hear from you in the comments.

Recently, I’ve seen AmigaKit putting out small teases about this product. I quickly visited their webstore to check it out. Here is the link:

Anyone of you interested in this one?
Personally, I already own the A600GS and I’m enjoying it a lot these days, but it would be fun to build this into an A1200 case for sure.
That was all for now. Thanks for reading! See you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog. 🙂
