Have any of you come across and tried this project yet? It's a curated collection of Amiga games, demos etc packages to work from a frontend. I started using it when I get my A500 mini recently just for a hassle free way to have a pre setup usb stick image I could just download, copy over and use. It contains every whdload game to date, plus lots more and works perfectly.

It also has a lot more included. Versions have been released for every real and emulated hardware version. I know of people running AGS on real Amigas, the A500 Mini, Rasperry Pi, Steam Deck, other handheld consoles, PC, UAE, WinUAE etc.

This is the perfect project now for us to point anyone looking to relive their Amiga days, but with limited knowhow on what to do. It removed all the hassle we have had for years hunting for and downloading games and other files.

Latest release details - version 2.5 has only just been released start of December:

Amiga Game Selector v2.5 Released!

@everyone the latest version of Amiga Game Selector is available to download. I can't believe that the last full release was in July!

This is a milestone for the emulated versions as I've enabled network and internet access and added several web apps. Version 2.5 also brings all the different formats of AGS back in sync with each other. There's even an up to date version for Raspberry Pi users!

Also the Pandory version on the A500 mini has... wait for it... SAVE STATE SUPPORT! This is done through the Amiberry interface.

The other thing with all the installs is that there is no need to install any extra files to get them going. AGS is now completely plug and play!

UPDATE v2.5.1 FOR Pi4/400, WinUAE & A500 Mini
AGS v2.5.1 has been uploaded which has a few bug fixes for the WHDLoad quit key and random themes scripts. Nothing else has changed. Check the group file section and mirror links for the files.

VERSIONS AVAILABLE
A500 Mini
The original AGS install. The mother of all the other versions. The A500 mini version has config files for normal mode or Pandory mode which has internet access via a USB to Ethernet adaptor. The normal mode is recommended for playing games as it runs a bit faster and is more compatible. The Pandory version is best for Workbench use as it has proper RTG scaling, no slow sound issues, save state support and full web access. A huge thank you to TEAM PANDORY for making this version possible.
A list of USB to ethernet adaptors can be found here. A general rule of thumb is that if the adaptor support linux, it should work. https://www.retro32.com/a500-mini/31...s-aminmiga-faq
This is the adaptor I bought which works fine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ethernet-Ad...06&sr=8-3&th=1
WinUAE
Works on pretty much all Windows PC's and is now bundled with a fully portable, self contained WinUAE install and launcher. The archive also includes a zipped up portable FS-UAE install as an alternative to WinUAE.
Raspberry Pi
Yes, it's back and just as troublesome! No, honestly this is one of the best versions of AGS. The only limitation is that JIT is disabled as it crashes out Amiberry if you reboot with it turned on. Amiberry has been updated to the latest version (v5.6.4) and DietPi is now running Debian Bookworm.
AGA Real Hardware
Since it's release this version has become a fan favourite as it works amazingly on A1200's and A4000's. There are two versions available; the image version can be written onto a CF/SD card to go inside your real Amiga and the HDF version that can be used in lower powered emulators such as UAE4All and RetroArch/PUAE.
