Ahhhh, so if I had the .adf files I could just zip them all up and they should work, is that right?

Thanks for pointing out the simple mistake and putting me on the right path.

My suggestion would be to use the RetroPie image directly and not through BerryBoot.

@yserra thanks for your help I sorted this.

That didn't work when I typed what you put. It kept saying no directory etc.

Anyways I deleted the duplicate games.. Put the correct paths in and did the games again and now only one appears in emulation list and it works great.

Thanks again

@nemo93 Technically neither have I. It runs as a CD32 game if you rename the .CUE file. I've been running it like this for a while but 3.3 (or maybe an earlier version) seems to have broken it,

I'll wait to see what 3.4 brings.

@chris3535 Great!, thanks for feedback :)

@dreamcastkid opppsss !!! sorry lol

you're pretty close .. you forgot the "p" in Raspberry

but at least it's better than the 1st typo ;)

@sirhenrythe5th

That's got it!

Nice one thanks

@amook11

I had the same problem and with my pi in the network and under

\\retropie\configs\amiga\amiberry\conf\

I opened and edited this file:
rp-a500.uae
it has a line:

kickstart_rom_file

there goes the exact name of your 1.3 rom in the bios folder.
of course you can also rename your existing rom to name that's already there.

same procedure needs to be done for the 3.1 kickstart I 've just noticed..

for people unsure about the correct roms: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Kickstart-ROMs-(BIOS) there you can find information about the versions needed including a crc check code, to see if you've got the right file.

@officerdibble

I found that by editing the config.txt file that corrects it.

I used sudo nano /boot/config.txt and removed the # in front of disable_overscan=1 to enable it.

Some zips work perfectly, others have to be disk swapped, and some don't work at all.

So just stick to WHD load .lha games that contain the full set of disk files.

@tomassi said in Amiberry not autobooting lha files:

In the summer I bought a 'retro-frenzy' game console which is essentially a raspberry pi with thousands of games on it.

We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones sold with ROMs and Retropie. Use the image from retropie.org.uk/forum and if you still have an issue, then open a separate topic and post the details of your system - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

In general, I have no idea what it was, but ... I once again updated the retropie setup script, and once again uninstalled and installed amiberry from the sources. And (magic) everything finally worked as it should ... amazing (sarcasm)

@idemiq hello. Apologize for reopening that thread but I like when solutions are found whenever possible! CD32 is a bit tricky to get working but the good news is that it works!

Can you try renaming your .CUE that way and give it another try? Do not modify the .bin file or any other file(s) referenced inside that .cue.

AlienBreedTowerAssault_v1.2_CD32.CUE

Your Kickstart roms appear to be correct. Yet I do see that you put these inside BIOS/amiga folder. I'd recommend to just go with BIOS instead. Therefore move any KS file up to the BIOS folder of Retropie and delete the BIOS/amiga folder for now. To be sure.

Also after you renamed the .CUE and moved the KS roms as mentioned above, please ensure to delete any .uae you have generated (back them up somewhere else if you want).

If the above works then you'll have to rename the .cue the same way the games are being referenced in the whdload_db.xml file (search for CD32). Which you could find under <Retropie>configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/game-data.

Hope this helps.

@BuZz thank you.

BuZz can you also take a look at the "general" thread of Amiberry?
I'm finding that games runs a little faster then normal, I made a video about that. If you want I can make more of them. Thanks.

Can you add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
Amiberry should read and understand RetroArch's auto-configuration files, so Hotkey + Start should exit. You need to use a - relatively - recent of version of Amiberry for that. See more details on the Amiberry Input documentation page.

I just noticed the lha I am using is only 58k and could no way contain a game. It wasn't a problem with the Kickstarts, it was the lha. I switched to a good lha and the game is loading!

Could someone explain to me why amiberry is seen as more plug and play compared to puae, and is the recommended emulator here? Everything I've thrown at puae (lha and hdf) seems to work, I get access to the lovely CRT shaders, and I'm probably going to have to mess about with config on a per game basis for either anyway? Amiberry seems way more of a pain in the arse on several levels, to me - and that's not even considering the strange resolution switching issue I'm getting.
I'm considering just binning it off and going with puae; am I going to regret that for some reason I've yet to experience?
