      Ok, i've done it, it reports following codes

      Kickstart 1.3: f6290043
      Kickstart 3.1: fc24ae0d

      I don't know what i'm doing, lol, but i suspect those files are corrupted?

        @darishzone OK, your kickstart roms are not valid and will not work with Amiberry.

        Your 3.1 kickstart rom may be fine as the symlink is there and you say some games work. Does Cannon Fodder work?

        You will need to find 1.3 kickstart rom. Look for the TOSEC archive.

            My suggestion:

            Delete all symlink files
            Add all kickstarts to bios/ folder
            Load Amiberry straight to the menu with Amiberry.sh
            Select the paths panel
            Reset the kickstarts path to the bios/ folder
            Press “scan paths”
            Enter emulation.
            Go back to the menu
            Quit Amiberry

            Relaunch a game with WHDLoad (.lha file)
            Symlinks should be fixed

                Symlinking for th WHDLoad booter doesn’t care what file names you have.

                It hadn’t occurred to me to add a check for “broken” symlinks, but I will look into that

                    What you mean about Bios/folder? I have an Amiga folder on Bios, roms are there, is that right?

                      Command line

                      cd /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/save-data/Kickstarts/
                      rm *.rom

                      Should do it tbh.

                        You can either put the kickstarts in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

                        OR

                        /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/Amiga

                        But whichever you use, you will need to select the same folder in the Amiberry menu (paths panel) and press “scan”

                            Its the right way open for every game the GUI and under INPUT TAB set MOUSE and KEY AS JOY, to map the controls in game?
                            I cant see any SAVE AS DEFAULT button.

                            Thank yoy again!

                              @marcoqwerty After setting your controls in the Input tab, if you navigate to the Configurations tab, check that the Name field matches the filename of your game and then click on Save. This will create a .uae config file for your game in the folder /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf.

                                  Sorry for the topic...but there is a way to load a DEFAULT configuration (.uae file) after have been crete it in amiberry GUI?

                                  Only to avoid to create tons of .uae files for each games.

                                  I need only the config file pick the controller settings.

                                  I tried to put "default.uae" (in the .lha folder) but didnt works.

                                  My default config file (i trow away all the unneeded lines)

                                    Hi,
                                    thanks to the developers of this great emulator!
                                    After re-installing retropie it's all almost perfect and i'm enjoing again the games I used to play when I was an adolescente.

                                    However, some of these games (e.g. Banshee, Hollywood Poker Pro, ...) don't display correctely: please take a look at the attached picture.
                                    0_1528468203602_20180608_162321.jpg
                                    I'm almost certain there's a configuration issue somewhere, but even playing around I couldn't find a solution.

                                    Does somebody how to fix it?
                                    Thank you

                                      Wonder why is Amiberry not listed on Retropie github, i mean adf is just like stone age compared to whdload autobooting, and the emulator is also on optional installs. Hope the page will get updated.

                                        @HoraceAndSpider I have been using your excellent UAE config maker for months on my pi 3B, with the amiga-data folder and the games extracted into their own folders.

                                        I have now got a 3B+ and have installed Amiberry from scratch using the WHDBooter method, tested a lha file and it worked no problems, my question is, is there anyway to get my old games that are extracted into individual folders to work with the new method or is it a case of having to find and download an lha version please?

                                        thanks for the help and the amazing work

                                          I have been trying to figure out what is going on with Bubble Bobble. It loads fine but the game plays at turbo speed. All other games I have tried work flawlessly. I have tried editing the uae to use a different chip (68000 instead of 68020), but it makes no difference.

                                          Presently I can only slow it down to normal by F12 and selecting a difference cpu. But it does not save that state and Im not sure if the uae overwrites the selections I have made.

                                          Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

                                            @dudleydes Yes but for the default configuration? there is a special naming convention of the .uae file?

                                            Hello all,
                                            I also wondering is there a mean to have a "default" uae file for all games ?
                                            it is possible to fill the conf. folder with thousands of automatically generated .uae files, but its a bit "complicated" ?
