I figured it...
Firstly configure the new machine withing AmiBerry and save the config as whatever you like - in my case to set up a compatible Amiga to run a game which the default configs do not run.

Next hop over to RetroPie Configuration Editor from the main menu and choose option 2 - Advanced Configuration.
Then option 4 - Manually edit non RetroArch configurations.
Scroll down to option 26 - amiga/emulators.cfg and copy any of the standard existing default "rp-xxx" lines and replace with your own new filename from AmiBerry which you just saved.

When you next boot press a key to enter runcommand as the info window for runcommand pops up during the booting of the game.
Change the option no 2 - Select default emulator for ROM and select the emulator you saved.
Press x to launch.
That's it. From now on your game will load with the emulator you configured to work with the game and is launch able from ES directly.

Hope this helps to make someone elses' life a bit easier.

Happy xmas.

Cheers.

Rob.

Suffering from similar issues. I will try deleting all the .uae and see if that helps me.

If no luck I plan to raise this in Github. Thanks again to @dudleydes for his efforts.

@xFlesk said in Amiberry. how to disable those awful scanlines ?:

i dont know what happend with this amazing emulator, but since some update it plays games with those disgusting scanlines which are completly gamebreaking for me. is there any way to turn this shitty scanlines off ? i cant see any option related to it in F12 menu.
thank you in advance

Assuming we're talking about the same visual affect, turning off Line Doubling in the Display section removed those scanlines for me.

@Stuffu

Guess that worked, sorry for all the posts, eager and stupid is a bad combo :)

*Temporary Fix *

Well I finally got to the bottom of this. Amiberry does not register when button 15 (select) or 16 (xbox) are pressed on an Xbox One 2016 Bluetooth pad (maybe some other Xbox pads as well). The short term solution is to assign the Hotkey to another button that is not used in Amiga emulation e.g. 14 (right analogue press).

Is it possible to make a dedicated Amiberry joypad config file in Retorarch that only Amiberry will pick up on. While I'm at it could I do the same for other emulators such as LR PCSX Rearmed?

Thanks to Horaceandthespider at Github for help in resolving this.

@Dwarfboysim I believe you need to edit the hostprefs.conf file which you can find in /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot.

The following links at the Amiberry wiki should offer further guidance:

Thanks! This solved the issue for me - I had to copy rom.key file together with all the roms as indicated in one of the replies from above thread, then it started to work...

I managed to get it working. I uninstalled amiberry, cleared the /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry folder. Reinstalled from sources, recopied various bios roms and ended up with this rom working:

kick40068.A1200 -> /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/kickstarts/Kickstart - 391773-01 (USA, Europe) (v3.1 Rev 40.068) (A1200).rom

I also ensured 755 permissions on the kickstart roms - they were 744 before. Not sure which of these steps actually fixed the issue though.

Would like to know this as well... I use a trackball as the mouse and can't figure out how to make any button presses on my joystick (or keyboard/ultimarc mini-pac controller buttons) work. I ended up just plugging in a normal usb mouse to continue but would like to not use it.

Hi! Updating to 2.21 (update via source) solved the problem -- thanks! I could even delete the "custom" configurations for the games I tried before, Amiberry now sets port 0 to mouse and port 1 to joystick all the time -- thank you!

Now, everything in Amiberry works fine for me, there's no lag in games, the graphics look good, the loading times are fine... Just one thing is broken -- the sound, see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19528/broken-amiberry-sound . Maybe someone can help me out there, too?=

Thanks!

@dudleydes thank you , i have solve the problem by download Rom Set of .uae .

@madrikxiv I dropped a whole paycheck on a used Blizzard 68060 card and a 128mb memory stick, so that wasn't an issue. That card is still alive and kicking despite other problems my 1200 has had. Without USB, I had to transfer files using a hard drive, or burn them on a CDRW disk. I'd love to plug my 4tb USB drive into the 1200 and see what happens. LOL...

Re: Starting Amiberry lha files results in black screen

Hello, I have attempt to launch Amiberry with LHA and BIOS taken from working device. However I get black screen after Amiberry logo, and can see no logs are created when looking via WinSCP. I attempt to follow instruction to check broken symbolic links from above thread but no results are returned.
I have most all BIOS files in place, and have told Amiberry to rescan paths previously. Since it's not writing to Debugs folder could this be some permissions issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have always used 'File Rename Turbo' by Kristanix Software.
It allows you to rename most of your files in batch mode easily.
Hope it helps!

Try PowerArchiver

https://filehippo.com/download_powerarchiver/

Its shareware, but free trial. Might be enough to do what you want

I used it years ago and it did exactly what I needed to convert archives. Just installed this version and it will easily convert ZIP to LHA and also as a batch queue
