i use retropie 4.1, i added uae4arm from retropie / emulationstation

i added a simple games... name: James_Pond.adf in roms/amiga

i put KICK20.rom in folders /bios and /roms/amiga

i followed the guide https://github.com/Douggernaut/RetroPieAssistant/tree/master/Amiga

uae4arm... presents this:
1- uae4arm GUI with preset
2-if I try to push run with mouse... uae4arm waits for amiga workbench 1.3

who can help me? regards.

i just tried to save a CONFIG file from uae4arm...
i noticed that

use_gui=no
kickstart_rom_file=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/kick20.rom
kickstart_rom_file_id=C3BDB240,KS ROM v2.04 (A500+)
kickstart_ext_rom_file=
flash_file=
floppy0=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/James_Pond.adf
floppy0type=0
floppy1=
floppy1type=0
floppy2=

**is different...

like this:**

use_gui=no
kickstart_rom_file=$(FILE_PATH)/kick13.rom
kickstart_ext_rom_file=
flash_file=
floppy0=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/James_Pond.adf
floppy1=
floppy2=

but despite the row...

"use_gui=no"

uae4arm... continue to present me GUI

andrea_ita

i saw in two times that...
the row floppy drive DF0 in GUI is already empty...
so... i think uae4arm doesen't load in correct mode ".uae" file..

andrea_ita

try with another disk... Lotus.adf
generated configuration file... lotus.uae..

use_gui=no
kickstart_rom_file=$(FILE_PATH)/kick13.rom
kickstart_ext_rom_file=
flash_file=
floppy0=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/LOTUS.ADF
floppy1=
floppy1type=-1
floppy2=

same problem... uae4arm starts... i have to choose tab Configurations "lotus" and press Start...

uae file from configuration, not load DF0... the amiga's floppy disk

andrea_ita

pandora.floppy_path=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/LOTUS.ADF
