- Continuing our look at Amiga Game Selector 2.5.
We look at how to setup AGS on the A500 Mini and retro console that originally gives you 25 classic Amiga games but we will be increase that number into the 1000's
You need a empty 32gb+ USB memory stick. Formatted FAT32.
No additional kickstart roms are required as they are already licenced on the A500 mini.
A500 mini pandory allow you to go into Workbench and get even more performace out of your A500 Mini.

Sir, my Amiga500 is on the way, will download the files while i wait and will purchase a 32gb card tmw, thank u for this very informative, well made and easy to follow video, u sir are a gentleman and a scholar.
I got an A500 Mini for xmas and have been enjoying the built-in games. but I can't wait to give this a go! There goes my weekend
So as stated previously it worked perfectly. I originally had Pandory installed on the drive. Out of curiosity I replaced (after making a backup) the Pandory folder from the previous install onto the pandory folder created by AGS which worked. Now have both AGS 2.51 installed along with my previousl Pandory installation and the config and roms from that previous install.
Great Video! Will have to dig out my Mini now! -Mark.
12:10 Very nice.
nice. greetings from poland (wb1.2)
Great video! Thank you.
Thanx very much for this.
Thank you very much!
Finally, I get it worked!
But I cant go out of a Game, because Menu Button dont Show up a Tastatur...
Great video, I just wish you had shown us a couple more games.
For the A500 Maxi fund !!!😉
Thanks for video. on RPi400 works perfectly
Will be looking at that setup soon. The bonus is you have a fully working keyboard so more like an Amiga computer rather than a CD32 console which The A500 mini can be seen as.
@@MikeyGRetro biggest bonus - other emulators on the same SD and machine (rpi): Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, ScummVM, Sega Genesis, Sega masterSystem, Zx spectrum !! WITH Games!
Will definitely give this a go. I have had mixed results with Amiga games on stock Pandory. I.E. Can not get Warlords to run on it. So I am assuming the Kickstart roms are inplace.
That's really cool! For me is AGS the best and easiest collection out there.
Better as ClassicWB or similar systems(which I also like).
Is there something similar available for c64?
A pre-configured collection of games easy to use?
Ive recently got AGS on my mini and works great however through the Amiberry settings im trying to see if i can get the USB Competition Pro Joystick working as I wondered whats the prefered button config as im struggling to set a button for the Virtual Keyboard to appear or disappear as i cant do much other than set one of the fire buttons up. Any chance of a video in future for this?
hi will this version of pandory run other consoles ie ps1/n64 etc thx for great video
I've got the 500 mini and ags.. I've not played with it that much yet, though is it possible to savestate or save a game running ?
So I already have the pandory and a500 folders. Do I just need to drag over the AGS folder or do I need them all?
Hi Mike,
I found that it might not be possible to copy autorun.inf prom extracted the extracted downloaded file to usb. But I have found a simple workaround. 1) open autorun. Inf file in notepad 2) save a txt file 3) copy txt file to usb and 4) rename back to .inf file. I found this will work
Did you try to play 2 player games like Chaos Engine with two Dualshocks? Does it work for you?
Hi Mike,
I have tried tried many times to download the Amiga AGS and have used Rufus 4.4p as suggested. I think most files copy to the brand new ScanDisk 32gb usb 2 & 32gb usb 3 neither will allow me to copy auto run.inf file. I have done everything I could find online, but nothing stops the error message that I have to have permission on folder.. and I have tried to run ags , using Windows 10, but nothing works on my A500 mini, can you suggest any help?…thanks
What could be the reason that after starting AGS and Pandory, only the Workbench floppy disk logo appears? Does it require an update after Amiga 500 1.2.1?
I have the same problem
Supposed error found. So, my AGS2 also comes from well-known sources. I'm not saying it's incorrectly packed. I've tried it 6 times. It was always the same. Now I've copied all files from the backup.lha and overwritten them with the others, and behold, now it works.
Good call. Antman, i used 3amp power supply. It did go to a black screen once when i tried loading it up as i mention in the video and just tried it again and it worked.
FIXED. Have had similar problems and also glitches when using AGS. Firstly DO NOT press the menu button in the usb screen, this seems to mess up the configuration files. If you do then try the restore button or copy over the original config files again. Secondly make sure your A500 mini is getting 2.5 to 3 amp power supply as AGS can be glitchy and cause errors without it. Hope this helps.
Have downloaded the 13g file what's best program to extract it? Thx..
7zip
😀
Can I just copy this vid without having to mod my mini?
No mod required. 100% USB.
So basically all of everything Amiga extracts to 26GB, I'm not sure if I'm impressed or upset. Probably both.
Why? Go and have a listen to 'Hey Hey 16k', that will cheer you up :)
@@mariomini haha yeah that was a pretty funny track I didn't know existed. It has made me conclude I am happy all of Amiga fits into 26GB, what a quality 26GB that was and is. Thanks for the nudge 😉
