I did it this way:

copy the default RA-controller-config to another place of your choice (i.e.: "/home/AMIBERRY Inputs/") edit the button-mapping as you like in this copied file start AMIBERRY-GUI go to "paths", navigate the "inputs"-path to your new one. click on the button "rescan paths" There you go, the inputs are now as you like to have them global for all games ;)

@George-Spiggott Ok, I will try them out with other settings and see how it goes. One thought I have is that they actually are .lha format and maybe the files then are assumed to be WHDload when run and then it fails to load since they are not... Did that make any sense? :)

I haven't tried ISO yet but will give that a go if I can't get the .lha files to work.

To bring this thread to its full conclusion I finally got round to modifying my copy of Gloom Deluxe.

I made an HD floppy disk image file and used Workbench to copy the contents of both disks to this file. I then modified the s/startup-sequence file to boot straight into the game without loading the setup program. I used ED from the AmigaDOS Shell to do this.

I now have a single disk version of Gloom Deluxe that works perfectly.

On further investigation a number of CD32 game have this issue, sometimes requiring port 1 and sometimes port 0. Individual settings files looks like the solution.

Generally CD32 games like a CD32 pad in port 1. The following games are exceptions:

Fire + Ice CD32. Needs a joystick (not a pad) in port 1.
Seek and Destroy CD32. Needs a CD32 pad in port 0.

Scanlines can be enabled by setting default_line_mode=2

@sirhenrythe5th said in Amiberry screen position:

Done, works great!
Thanks again for supoort @davidgrohl

Great! I’m glad it helps.

@sirhenrythe5th I actually had another think about the key combination for select +x and realised this is a
hotkey + X.
My hotkey is set to the little button on the bottom right of the 8bitdo controller.
I pressed this button + X and boom into the GUI I go!

Thanks for leading me in the right direction

Got it solved.
I outsourced the config-files to "/home/AMIBERRY Inputs".
Now everything works, i learned that retroarch seems to browse also the subfolders within "opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconfig/" ;)

@Jimi007 Ok so I've answered my own question. It was right in front of me
Using the amiberry conf file the options are

default_horizontal_centering

You can use this option to enable Smart Horizontal Centering by default.

Possible values: yes/no

Default value: no

Example: default_horizontal_centering=yes
default_vertical_centering

You can use this option to enable Smart Vertical Centering by default.

Possible values: yes/no

Default value: no

Example: default_vertical_centering=yes

Added the lines and all good

You mean instead of starting EmulationStation on boot ? If so, then edit the /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh file and add your own command before the emulationstation #auto line.
To determine which is the correct command line, you can use either the advice from the Docs or just start your game, then open /dev/shm/runcommand.log and see the actual command line used to launch it.

@Stuffu

I’m sure there is an option to force the 4.3 ratio.

I think it’s under “display” in GUI, under the sliders to change the screen resolution.

Ok your were right not games work fine.
Now I'm having issues with controllers: I setted to port 0 my bluetooth keyboard with touchpad included, but when I go to custom controls on Input Device i see "Not a valid Input Controller for Joystick Emulation"

I believe the problem is the same as

https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues/542

I have debugged it and described on the ticket how to fix it so you may not need the workaround soon I hope.

@Simberg190 you can open an issue here https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues

It's already included (update). It's an optional install though so won't be pre-installed in the next image.

Getting the games to run with just a controller can be a pain. I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to get this working.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19302/tutorial-painless-amiga-emulation-using-amiberry/1

Some mouse-only games are still setup to use just controllers and not the attached mouse/keyboard when you use the WHDLoad version. Populous, for example. I don't know what i need to do to unset that, so I can't make any suggestion for you on this either (if it's the case).

My only other suggestion would be to disconnect your controllers before firing up an amiga game and/or switch USB ports so that your mouse and keyboard are on the lower port numbers (0 and 1).
