best solution for a desktop for Pistorm A600

[cugar124]

Hi Guys,
OK I have OS3.2 installed on my Pistorm 600 but its very dull and P96 is fighting with my Monitor so trying to figure that out. Has anyone done a step by step step of how they got a good setup. Caffeine seems to be like Coffin OS and is no good as to much pirate stuff is there another OS setup to try?

Hi,

I haven't try a clean AOS installation so far (lack of time sucks), was playing with Caffeine only.

There is a new, legal and paid Workbench distribution tailored for PiStorm -> https://www.amikit.amiga.sk/pistorm

Going back to the clean OS setup, have you followed any of the guides below?

HI Silk,
I have 3.2 just starting from scratch.

I recommend the retro32.com setup as I use it myself. It's very well written and easy to follow.

Keep in mind that you may find a few software titles that refuse to work with the PiStorm under WHDLoad but will happily work from floppy disk. You can always adjust the WHDload options (tooltypes) and then see if they work. In my experience it's worth trying this first as I think I have about 90% of games and demo's working via WHDLoad now.

Of course, the stubborn ones (mostly demo's) are just being ... well, P.I.T.A's

HI Silk,

Yes this is what you wrote "OK I have OS3.2", I was wondering if you have followed any of the guidelines available when setting things up.

What are the issues with the monitor you've mentioned?

Hey bud, I did a PiStorm OS3.2 setup originally for my A500, let me see if I've got a backup of it, that might give you a good base to customise as you wish. I've actually gone back to Classic Workbench on my PiStorm now, I just find Classic WB3.9 to be tue sweet spot for me.

I have OS 3.9 got to admit I agree 3.9 was just finished better than 3.2. But before I get burned I know 3.2.2 is a different beast LOL. I am trying the Retro32 setup now.
