    Hi guys

    Got a weird issue, wondering if you could help please.

    I Install Amiberry and seteup from source, run a game (Sensi 97/98 in LHA format from Amiga Board and it boots great.

    Next time I run it or any game I just get a black screen. So basically I can play any game once then no other games even after a restart.

    I have even removed the autoboot config file and debug file and it still doesnt work

    zip's work fine still

    seen something about different controllers, tried 2 different controllers and its the same

    running retropie 4.4 on odroid xu4

    thanks in advance

      @horaceandspider Thanks Man, you made my Day. I tried before to open up the .auto-startup with Windows-Editor, but there was only Chinese Signs and so i thought that this is not the right File to edit. After your Post i opened it with WordPad, was able to read and alter the content, but after saving the File lost something and it doesnt work too. But now i use an Editor and everything works as expectet. This brings me to another Question: After trying out more Games, i found some not working. Is there a Thread for asking for Help and listing them or is this Thread the right?

        I would suggest using the GitHub support for Amiberry

        Ahh yes. Very silly of the slave author not to have the CUSTOM1=0 (default) work!

          Seem to be having trouble getting Amiberry to let me quit using my PS3 controller's PS button.

          Its working in all my retroarch based games,

          I have: input_exit_emulator_btn = "16"

          In my retroarch.cfg for amiberry and in my controller config and still no luck.

          Everything else about the controller works fine.

          Anyone have a suggestion?

            @wildkatct I don't believe the PS button is available as a hotkey in Amiberry. More info: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Customised-Controls#checking-for-available-retroarch-mapping

              You might try configuring whatever .uae file you're using manually. They're located at /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf/.

              Look for the line:

              button_for_quit=-1
              

              ...and try changing it to:

              button_for_quit=-16

                  Any button should be fine to use as a hotkey. Whatever button you set in the retroarch config (i.e. #16) should work fine.

                  However, input_exit_emulator_btn = "16" requires the PS button (16) to be pressed with the hotkey button (whatever you set this as)

                  @ WildkatCT what are you setting input_enable_hotkey_btn = to? Have you checked the input custom panel to see that amiberry is picking up your retroarch config? (it will be marked with an [R])

                    Possible iss here is setting to minus figures. button_for_quit=16 may still work.

                    This would work for a 'direct' quit button if the .uae file is being used for loading, but again, if only the a1200/a500 .uae files are changed this will only affect auto-laoding of ADF files. (It's not been said how @wildkatct is loading games)

                      Finally, after a long time I managed to get RetroPie+Amiberry+WHDLoad to work with .lha files (finally found out that I needed to compile form source instead of installing from binary, due to my RPi running Jessie).

                      Only problem now is the game "Barbarian" from Palace. Starting this game/installer goes straight back to Amiberry configuration window. All other games (tried around 100 games so far) works perfectly. Anybody managed to get this title up and running?

                      It's the "Barbarian_v1.1_Palace_1784.lha" file. The file is small (217 kb) compared to other games.

                      Thanks.

                        @andefeldt my betting is you need a kickstart 1.3 rom and yours is encrypted without a key or similar?

                          @horaceandspider I set input_enable_hotkey_btn = to 16 as well and that gave me a 1 key quit I was looking for, thanks.

                            @horaceandspider I don't think that's the case. How can I check this?

                            I have kickstart 1.3 and 3.1 (from my /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/ folder):
                            kick34005.A500.RTB
                            kick40068.A1200.RTB
                            Kickstart-v1.3-rev34.5-1987-Commodore-A500-A1000-A2000-CDTV.rom
                            Kickstart-v3.1-rev-40.68-1993-Commodore-A1200.rom

                            I checked the Kickstart files checksums and they were both correct. I tried adding the RTB files for both A1200 and A500 today, but that didn't help (don't really know what these file do). I created symlinks for the RTB files, but again it didn't help.

                            All other game I throw at it works like a charm. Barbarian doesn't even show the "Amiberry" logo, it just goes straight to the configuration.

                            All help is greatly appreciated.

                              @andefeldt It's worth checking the issues at Amiberry github page to see if the compatibility of a game is being or has already been discussed.

                              Here's a couple that may be relevant for Barbarian:

                                @dudleydes Thanks for the links.
                                I could see that the A600HD rom was mentioned, so I tried adding the Kickstart 2.05 rev. 37.500 to my /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/ folder.
                                Then the WHDLoader/"installer" launched and installed the game, but right after, it rebooted and presented me with the red "System failure, press left mouse to continue" box.
                                No symlinks was made in the /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/save-data/Kickstarts/. I tried creating the symlinks myself afterwards (named the symlink kick37500.A600HD), but that didn't help.
                                Any ideas?

                                  I have been adding CD32 games with some good success, but all my images are bin/cue with wav...is there any way I can convert the audio to MP3/OGG/FLAC to save space?

                                    Hi guys/girls,

                                    Got my Amiberry (2.18)+ WHDLoad up and running. What a great asset! Love it.
                                    Played some games (Moonstone what a great game) and also tried to play my all time favorite SWOS 96/97. But ….when I want to play a career and select my team, the game just crashes. Black screen but I can hear music. (I use A1200 kickstarter 3.1) What could it be?

                                    Other ‘problem’is my gamepad. It doesn’t select it as a default controller. So when I start a game I must hit F12 and then manual select the gamepad.

                                    But I really need some help with my SOWS game. Thanks!

                                      @rujar SWOS 96/97 in career mode using the fileSensibleWorldOfSoccer9697_v1.7_0842.lha works fine for me.

                                      Amiberry does produce debug reports that you can find in /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/save-data/Debugs/. Hopefully that should give some info why the game is crashing.

                                      Regards configuring your controller, could you try the following commands:

                                      cd RetroPie-Setup
                                      sudo ./retropie_packages.sh amiberry configure
                                      

                                      If this does not resolve this issue, then installing from source should work.

                                        Yes I'm using the same file. Will look in to the debug report.

                                        Thanks for the tips. Saves me a lot of time. It took me already hours to get my amiberry properly running.

                                          There is a debug file but is is empty 0kb.
                                          Weird. All works fine (friendly season etc) accept career mode.
