      @dalek2000 Can you try updating the RetroPie setup script and then install Amiberry from source? If this doesn't work, then can you try uninstalling Amiberry and then installing from source?

      If neither of these work, then I suggest opening a new topic, providing all of the information requested here.

      Please also include the build log from when you attempted to build Amiberry from source. The log can be found inside a gzip file in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs which you should be able to access using STFP/WinSCP. You should post the log at a site like pastebin.com.

      The binary install should shortly be updated to v2.21 that fixes the bug so you can wait until this happens if you prefer.

        @dudleydes I updated RetroPie-Setup script, then updated amiberry from source.

        Now Select+Start exits the game which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much for all your help.

          Is there any way I can assign mouse buttons to my controller?

          A lot of games can't start because I don't have a mouse plugged in. I think some require either a left or right mouse click.

            @dalek2000 Which game are you having trouble with? Could you give the file name so I can test?

              Pang on the Amiga, comes up with a load of scrolling text and some music, I don't know how to skip the intro and start the game.

                @dalek2000 You should be able to just use the fire button.

                I have tested Pang_v2.2_0929.lha and the fire button allowed to bypass the title screens and start playing.

                  @dudleydes Thanks for that, the one you mentioned works.

                    Pang_v2.2_0929.lha won't run any more, have no idea what is going on.

                    It ran the first time, I played if for a while, then I quit. Now when I run it the screen stays black.

                      Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where the joypad config for amigaberry is located?

                      I really want to map 'F1' key and '1' key as those are required for some games.

                        @jumpingjack It's possible to create game-specific customised controls within the Amiberry UI. More info: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Customised-Controls

                          Hi

                          I'm running Retropie w/attract mode on a PiZero. Reading the above and various other threads I suspect there are performance issues with Amiga emulation but I also worry that screen resolution / refresh rate will have a bearing on performance.

                          Can anyone shed some light on performance and compatibility? Also, I cannot figure out how to calculate performance, I don't see a flag / switch to overlap fps, MHz other other metrics.

                          I can see significant performance issues (slow, choppy sound) in AGA games but I also see issues in games like Speedball II.

                          Does anyone have any tips / suggestions in helping me understand this?

                            Hi everyone,
                            I'm enjoying the Amiberry emulator but can't seem to get certain games to run. One example is North and South. I'm using the 'NorthAndSouth_v1.7_Files_0194' file.
                            All I get is a black screen. This happens to more games but some do run without problems. Is it that these games just won't work with Amiberry or is there something else I need to do/set? Thanks in advance!

                              If a game doesn't work you could try and locate the adf disk image versions, and try those. If they work, then it could be the whload version has a problem. Perhaps try the whload version on a PC with winuae.
                              One thing to remember with the Amiga is that quite a few games, especially the older Amiga 500 era games, were quite picky when it came to the Amiga hardware configuration. Some games didn't work with a second floppy drive attached, some didn't like 512k extra memory installed. Some didn't like a newer kickstart, newer than 1.3 (for example).

                              Try a very strict, specific Amiga config. North and South, was a fairly early Amiga 500 title, so perhaps aim for a Amiga 500, no extra floppy drive, no extra memory, v1.2 or v1.3 Kickstart.

                                  @ John_RM_70 Thanks, I'll try it with the adf version.

                                  @dudleydes Can you point me in the right direction to find the autoboot file talked about by Midwan? I may be in over my head a little.
                                  "You can probably manully fix this by changing DATA="whdloadgame:NorthAndSouthImage/ to DATA="whdloadgame:NorthAndSouthImage/data on the WHDLoad execution line in the north and south autoboot file. (NorthAndSouthImage.auto-startup)"

                                    Wow! I found the auto-startup file and the fix worked!! Thanks!!
                                    Would the same fix work for other games that are stuck at the black screen?

                                      @Apekop123 Glad to hear you got it fixed. As for other games, I cannot say. I believe Jaguar XJ200 has the issue as North and South. For others, check the issues, including closed ones, at the Amiberry github: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues.

                                      If you can't find a solution for a game, then it may be worth opening a new issue.

                                        Noticed today is available a new version of Amiberry, called 2.24b4. You can install from source. There's any changelog for this?

                                          Why can't there ever be a binary ?
                                          I'm getting fed up with hours and hours of compiling, with most failing - such as Mame2003Plus. Hours of wasted time.

                                            John_RM_70 Maybe is also available from binary, just check is 2.24b4.
                                            However it not take so long from source, way less than Mame2003 Plus.
