Amiberry vs Lr-puae

Drdave79

Running a Retropie cabinet with R4. Amiberry worked fine for most Amiga 500 games, however, while messing around with my set up to try to get Amiga 1200 to work, I found lr-puae to run better, albiet faster. But now I have two problems. 1) I screwed something up and now Amiberry won't work. Games freeze on load. I even restored the amiga folder in bios and config folders and removed and reinstalled the emulator. 2) lr-puae games run a bit too fast.

My questions to the community is:

Is lr-puae superior all around and there's no reason to use amiberry?
Is it possible to control the speed of games running lr-puae?

Thank you all!

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

Yes. From my experience, I installed Amiberry years ago using WHLoad format (.lha based files)... and I could never get it specific to every game. Some worked well, others not so much. The GUI of Amiberry was good, but cumbersome compared to the "one click" format of the Libretro series of emulators and the options are right there in the rgui setup in lr-puae. So easy now.
You can save a profile for each game. In the Quick Menu --> Options open that and look at the CPU speed and all that. Open all the Advanced settings as well. You can tweak the crap out of stuff. Set it to Auto or 1200 as it will be most compatible with everything. Then save it for the game only in the save menu. So if you want to slow a game down, use the option in the list to do so. Play around with it to get it right. I found leaving the CPU on Auto and messing around with the setting per game to work well for me.

You won't go back, of the 400+ games I have in my Amiga list.. I think 4 or 5 I had issues with.

Hope that helps.
