      THIS. I get the same exact behavior when I try to use Amiberry with WHDLoad. Did the exact same steps, and I get the same screen, nothing loading...!!!
      This is the only post I could find about this. Can anyone help us?

        @Kryomaani have the roms and games all got full read/write permissions? This is something I've had to do in the past to get them working.

          @BadFurDay As far as I cant tell, yes. I'll check again...
          .ADF files run perfectly, direct from Emulation Station... so I don't think is a permissions issue. Anyway, double-checking.

            I have the exact same problem and when I try to start a LHA file via "Quickstart" in Amiberry it works correctly with the A1200.

            Could it be a problem with Emulationstation passing the LHA file and the configuration to open to Amiberry?

            I have the Raspberry Pi 3b+, RetroPie 4.6 and Amiberry installed via source.

                I use Attract Mode on the Pi 4 with no issues, if it is a problem with Emulationstation then my suggestion won't be of any help.

                  Works fine here. If you updated just amiberry without updating RetroPie-Setup you may have issues due to command line argument changes.

                  That's the only thing I can think of.

                    You mean that we need to update RetroPie-Setup via "Update RetroPie-Setup script" and then run the "Update (from source)" for Amiberry?

                    I have the lastest version of RetroPie, 4.6, burned few days ago to a blank SD with the official image.

                    emulator.cfg says:

                    amiberry = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh auto %ROM%"
                    default = "amiberry"
                    amiberry-a500 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a500.uae %ROM%"
                    amiberry-a1200 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a1200.uae %ROM%"
                    

                    Edit: Running the two commands above right now.
                    Done. It works!

                        Usually it's best to use the full update from RetroPie-Setup. If you want to update a single emulator it's always a good idea to update the script first, else you can end up with a binary that doesn't match the helper scripts etc. In this case the launch script that passes the parameters.

                          @BuZz thank you.

                          BuZz can you also take a look at the "general" thread of Amiberry?
                          I'm finding that games runs a little faster then normal, I made a video about that. If you want I can make more of them. Thanks.
