@Jimi007 Yeah the zero is too slow for Amiga, it also struggled with 32X.

I found that out the hard way after setting up a "MicroMiggy" using one and only realised at the end that its too slow.

Thank you for your quick response, on this subject, after watching a ETA on youtube, he changed the platform to PI3 not sure of the constant name, as I'm on my PC writing this.

I thought there may be ways around it, but after looking at the forums a bit, I see it looks like I newish architecture for the PI4 over the previous models, pitty I like RetroPie, tried DietPi, and got lost, and just started eating :).

Anyways if it's not possible than thank you

It can be made playable but not displayed correctly. If you try same game on lha files they display perfect.

Similar bin, cue, wav

This isn't foolproof, some games don't like the change. Pinball Illusions, Pinball Fantasies, Fire & Ice and Skidmarks 2 all work fine. So long as the CUE file has CD32 at the end of the filename they boot and auto setup the CD32 pad.

Seek and Destroy and Alien Breed 3D will not boot in this format, instead they bring up the 'Cats Eyes' BIOS screen. I'm totally lost as to why as the other four CD32 games work fine so the BIOS clearly cannot be the issue.

Right, so after many hours of fiddling around with Amiberry, reading docs, etc., I have figured things out on my own.

As a little bit of help to others who might be scratching their heads when little more than a terminal is loaded instead of a game I'd highly recommend double checking the settings. Amiga (Amiberry) emulation is no where nearly as straight forward as other plug-and-play systems. While I figured I could simply make global changes and have things run easily I quickly (that is lie....way too much time if I am truly honest) came to realize that each and every game has to be setup and configured before they are booted.

With that said, setting up for the proper BIOS, ram, etc. and saving the configurations are key.

@Dwarfboysim
Any specific reasons to use RetroPie for that? If you are only interested in Amiga Emulation, maybe this Project: Amibian could be a suitable alternative for you.

Otherwise, maybe a modification of the scripts mentioned in this topic: Autostart last played game could be used ?

As an update I installed the Pixel desktop and started Amiberry from there. I created a hardfile and installed WB3.1 on there and installed whdload. When I run AGA games from the Worbench OS, I do not have this issue where the AGA games are bigger than the LCD. So there must be some setting when running whdload directly from the amiberry emulator in retropie that is causing this. Still looking for a solution.

from the gamelist which file is loaded?
the .lha archive?

And is the .whd in the same folder as the whdload_db.xml
located possibly at
/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/whdboot/

@BuZz Thanks you are right. It was under Main and not optional packages. Many thanks!

@Efriim I’ve now logged an issue at github so will see if anyone responds

@jackyracer thanks for the info! I had already sarted to play with individual UAE config files and looking in the XML file. I still couldn't get it to work and the controller randomly changed to parallel port 2!?!. So I deleted all the config files I had created or had been playing with and it started working! Port 0 was the mouse and port 1 was joystick and recognised on games 👍

Now I've noticed an issue, only tested Turrican but when I hit any button the game pause's then carries on when I press again, anyone seen this?

same here,, i have to set my mouse an every single game :/

Hm, it seems that uae4all is also not available on x86/PC systems - for the PC it's lr-puae or fs-uae that are candidates for installation.

@HoraceAndSpider

By all means, thank you very much for taking a look. The links are these (I think these are ok here, as they are fan remakes, but let me know otherwise):

ftp://ftp:any@grandis.nu/~Uploads/Aladin/WHDLOAD generic/RoadAvengerAGA-WHDL.lzx

I had to convert them from LZX to LHA (unless I shouldn't have?), and it might also certainly be an issue on my end as, as I mentioned, I have little familiarity with the Amiga ecosystem.

Apologies for the trouble, and thank you for your time and dropping by. By the way, thank you for your GitHub repository - it was tremendously helpful in getting this set up :)

EDIT: if it helps, I'm happy to share the created config files for WHDLoad for these in my setup. Maybe it's just something absurdly obvious. Thank you and let me know how I can help.

Whdload should be automatic. There is a thread on the forum though with lots of info. Search for whdload and sort by date.

@George-Spiggott thank you

the xml entry is the same for me

i don't know what is the problem
