Absolute CARNAGE in Amiberry, or Why I Hate Updating Anything Ever

JimmyFromTheBay

Vastly against my better judgement, I recently updated Amiberry from version 3.3 to 5.7.1 while trying to get a CD32 game to work.

(NB If you're going to try this yourself, update from source, not binary. The binary is completely and utterly screwed and nothing will work.)

Now all my config files - hundreds and hundreds of them - are broken.

ADF games generally load, but all the settings are reset to defaults so the screen's the wrong size etc. This is probably mass-fixable with some analysis (either edits required to AMIBERRY.CONF, or to every individual config file but achieveable en masse via NotePad++), not too bad.
CD32 games now all try to boot as Amiga games and produce a Workbench screen. They all run once you jiggle the settings, so probably relatively easy to fix as above.
but now ALL of my WHDLoad hard-drive installs (which is most of my Amiga games), which already come as .LHA files with built-in presets to work perfectly, just dump to the grey Workbench command prompt.

This I have no idea how to fix. Does anyone have any tips as to what's actually changed in the config files before I sigh loudly, swear extensively and just go back to 3.3?

And yes, in hope rather than expectation I did try changing:

config_version=3.6.0

to

config_version=5.7.1

It did not, of course, help, except that instead of dumping to a Workbench 1.3 "insert disk" screen, the game now dumped to a Workbench 1.3 "insert disk" screen in the wrong aspect ratio.
