Welcome to Amiga Game Selector v2.2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** This is a full release that contains new drive images and folder structure so you must format the USB drive and will therefore lose any data that hasn't been backed up. Please follow the backup process below if you wish to keep your data. ** Requirements ============ The A500 Mini Computer, Controller & Mouse A 2.5a to 3a USB Power Supply A 32GB USB Flash Drive USB Keyboard (Recommended) Installation ============ 1. Make any backups before continuing! See below for details. 2. Format your USB drive as FAT32. 3. Open the archive and extract the two folders onto your flash drive. 4. Read the 'Needed Kickstarts.txt' file to install the required kickstart rom images. 5. Plug the flash drive into your A500 Mini computer and turn it on. Backing Up Your Save Games ========================== 1. To back up your save games, you will need to copy the 'Savegames' folder to your computer first. The folder is located here... (v1.0 to v1.2) - USB Drive -> THEA500 -> whdboot -> save-data -> Savegames (v1.3 to v1.4) - USB Drive -> SHARED -> Savegames (v1.5 to v2.1) - USB Drive -> AGS -> SHARED -> Savegames 2. Saves from non WHDLoad games and other programs will need to be backed up onto the USB drive and then onto your computer before updating using the process above.

The folder is located here... (v1.0 to v1.2) - USB Drive -> THEA500 -> whdboot -> save-data -> Transfer (v1.3 to v1.4) - USB Drive -> SHARED (v1.5 to v2.1) - USB Drive -> AGS -> SHARED Restoring Your Save Games & Other Content ========================================= 1. Copy the SHARED folder on your computer back onto the USB drive into the AGS folder. It doesn't matter if it overwrites anything. 2. WHDLoad save games will now work but you will need to manually copy back the other content into the relevant folders with Directory Opus. Backing Up Your AGS Favourites ============================== Please note that the old favourites will work with the AGS v2.0 but may give errors as the scripts on some games have changed. If possible, please re-create your favourites. 1. Open the '+ Favourites' menu in AGS 2. Select [Backup Favourites] 3. Wait for the process to complete and quit AGS. 4. Back up as above as it will automatically be in the SHARED folder. Restoring Your AGS Favourites ============================= 1. Copy the 'SHARED' folder back onto the USB Drive as above. 2. Run AGS and open the '+ Favourites' menu. 3. Select [Restore Favourites] and wait for the archive to extract.
