Mirkus

I did but It still I have this option "S Install from source" "Z Clean source folder" "H Package help".

@Mirkus You're probably using an the older dev branch - how exactly did you install RetroPie ? What version do you have now ?

Mirkus

I update the script right now and this is the output:

Fetched the latest version of the Retropie Setup script. Then click <OK>

"You are running on the dev fkms_rpi4 branch which is now merged into master and will be deleted soon. you should switch bnack to master branch."

How can I proceed ?

How can I proceed ?

Do as the message says - switch to the master branch.

cd $HOME/RetroPie-Setup
git reset --hard
git checkout master

Mirkus

Git checkout master ---> "master" did not match any files know to git

Remove the setup folder, then clone it again without specifying the branch

cd
rm -fr RetroPie-Setup
git clone https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup

I've downloaded the ROM file (Bios) for amiga and from I've understood now I've to download data Games fils into WHD format. @Mitu : Do you know if there is any particular setting to apply into AMIberry bios file ?

@Mirkus Sorry, I have no experience with Amiga emulation, but from what I know amiberry prefers games in .lha format - https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Using-Amiberry-WHDBooter-with-RetroPie-(Step-3).
If you have any issues with games not running, please give more details and describe the error you're encountering.

Hi Mitu,
I loaded AmiBerry UI and I configured the followed Paths

System Roms : /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/ ----> here I copied some ROMS files as indicated in some internet info
Confg files: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/ ---> here I copied some games (roms.lha files)
Controlles files : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/
Reotroarch conf file : /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/conf/retroarch.cfg

then I selected Rescan path.
From Retropie when I select an Amiga game I receive a message that cant' load 0 Whdfiles slave identified.
