Launching amiga games form emulation station

Douggernaut

Thanks - I'll be sure to always update in the future before I feel the need to escalate.

@Dumell - I updated and verified that launching games directly from ES works again, but I had to change Amiga's default emulator to uae4arm first. Seems uae4all was made default in 3.8.

Hi, anybody able to scrape created .uae files using Sselphs Scraper? I've tried with -extra_ext=".uae" option with no success...
Just realized that Amiga is not one fo the supported systems. Any workaround?
The ES embedded scraper keeps freezing.

Thanks everyone! I upgraded to 3.8.1 and change the default emulator. Now it works.

Hi @ all =)

I got a problem with my controller config...I use my 2 usb gamepads (dev/input/js0, js1) for both inputs in my config file....when i manually start the .uae by UAE4ARM's GUI everything work fine but when I generate a template file input is always set to Nub for mouse :(

I've no idea what the problem is?!

@DYNANiK please check the sticky topic (see my Sig) and start a new thread.

There's already a way to do this using .uae and WHDLoad set ups.. there's a Facebook page dedicated to it and it works absolutely fantastic, only issue is you have to have an older uaearm v4.0 instead if 5.9 because there is a bug that wont apply the joysticks settings from a .uae file however v4 is perfect, I notified email writer but nothing come back as well.

Check the FB page out.

I have set my emulationstation to run amiga game directly, with instruction found in this post! that very nice!

Now the game start, but have to go in the menu and set "USB gamepad" to my port 1 EACH time i start a game to be able to use my joystick..

Is there any way to have my "USB gamepad" set to port 1 by default? (so i will not have to setup my joystick on port 1 EACH time 1 start a game)

Thanks!

I finally found the answer by myself (after searching all day long!).. So, i have modified the "template.uae" file before executing the python script and now every game start with my gamepad enabled.

@Ramses, that's nice. Can you post the changes you've made? That way others can learn from what you've done.

Sure!

First, i have follow the instruction from this link: [http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/launch-amiga-games-from-retropie-menu/](link url)

But i have modified the "template.uae" file, and added those line at the end of the file:

joyport1=joy1
joyport1autofire=none
joyport1mode=djoy
joyportfriendlyname1=Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver)
joyportname1=JOY1

Thats all!

After is modified just run the python script (adflist2uae) like is described in the link and all game will have the joystick enabled by default on port 1
