There is no such thing as "The RetroPie".

Raspberry Pi is the hardware; RetroPie is the software operating system that is installed onto it.

The easiest and best way to play Amiga games on RetroPie OS is to make sure the P-UAE core is installed. I don't recommend installing experimental packages or standalone emulators over just installing the Libretro cores themselves, because the cores allow you to use the Libretro shaders and by using Libretro cores, it means you can manage your preferred settings globally across all cores.

EDIT: i maybe didn't test enough -- the "remaining values are filled" in the .conf, only when run the +Start Amiberry.sh. When launch by one of the .lha roms instead, no values are filled, but the game still seem to work. They load and play anyway, did not test saving. But it's late and I've shut down for the night. Will test saving tomorrow.

Yes, saving works:

pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry $ cat conf/amiberry.conf rom_path=/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/amiga floppy_path=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga harddrive_path=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga cdrom_path=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga lha_path=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry $ ls -l whdboot/save-data/Savegames/ItCameFromTheDesert/ total 16 -rwxr----- 1 pi pi 12444 Dec 20 11:36 ICFTD pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry $ file whdboot/save-data/Savegames/ItCameFromTheDesert/ICFTD whdboot/save-data/Savegames/ItCameFromTheDesert/ICFTD: data

...save file exist, and I can quit and restart amiberry, then re-load the save in-game.

It's the same with either github/retropie version binary: no values are written (and file NOT created) when loading from .lha rom, saves still work at default location. Values are written (and file is created, with github version) when launch from +Start Amiberry.sh.

Edit: Launch from .lha rom, then open amiberry config and change eg. Rom path: all values are written to file (for both RP version with minimal conf, or github version with no conf.) But, if open config then quit with no change == no write values.

Are you playing it under NTSC or PAL settings? If the former, maybe try under PAL.

Hi @KingZambo

Amiberry did have an issue and has just been fixed in v5.6.4 that was released yesterday. I'm updating as we speak and will hopefully be back on track.

For puae-2021, I amended the gamelist.xml and added an entry that points to my .hdf file. After I realised my kick roms were named wrong (I had to remove the .rom extension.... Doh!) then puae-2021 is now working.

That was it. I had to install Amiberry. Now it appears and should work. Thanks!

@mitu I transferred the file but the error is still here, then i moved it to the BIOS folder and the error message didn't appear again. But the games don't run, they are stuck to the boot screen (hand with the blue disk). Thanks for your time !! I will change my roms with .lha or i will use amiberry.

Ok, i tested with .lha and everything is working fine. Maybe the first roms wasn't so good.

I finally got the Amiga emulation to work! This is how I did it.

Since I had Amiberry already installed, I removed it and its config file from /opt/retropie/configs/amiga (all .cfg files in that folder). I installed kick13.rom, kick20.rom, and kick31.rom with the correct CRC in bios/amiga. I used the wiki to get this information. I then installed Amiberry from source. I did it by launching Retropie Setup from Retropie. I selected Manage Packages->Optional Packages. I selected Amiberry and chose to install from source. Back in Retropie, I restarted Emulation Station.

I selected Deluxe Galaga (which, of course, was stored in roms/amiga) and it worked! I was having a problem with it not saving the high scores. However, I discovered that if I pressed ESC from within the game, it exited to DOS and then would save the high scores.

@mitu Merged! =)

Did the op get this fixed? This happened to me and it was (doh) because I'd just moved everything over to a new flash drive but I'd forgotten to copy the kickstarts across...

This does sound like a kickstart issue - either the required files aren't there or they're named wrong.

@George-Spiggott I switched up some of the games to the new Amiberry. Wow, it's a lot better now and very easy to use.

It's been a while since I used it, and the last time I had a lot of issues with controllers being properly recognized. Now, no interaction required. One-click, and I'm playing.

I also did some performance tests between the two with A-10 Tank Killer, Knights of the Sky, Bonanza Bros, and PowerMonger.

Nearly the same performance between the two, Bonanza Bros definitely ran a little better on Amiberry Angina 500+ setting.

But other than that, they're equal. That was with overlay and shaders active on lr-puae-2021.

Ok, I solved the issue by running setup on all the packages. This installed lr-puae2021 package as well.

@mitu said in impossible to build lr-PUAE on Intel NUC:

Upstream project will fix their build on newer distros with a recent glibc, you'll have to wait until they do so to use lr-puae. Use an older Ubuntu LTS version or one of the other Amiga emulators available (lr-puae-2021, fs-uae) in the mean time.

mmmm.. using a old version of lts it's not best idea for me. For absurd i have installed OS recently on this miniPC :)
Try to consider fs-aue but reading this guide quickly:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18409/guide-getting-emulationstation-to-work-with-fs-uae
Need to re-read whit more accurancy and know if it's on my knowledge :)

You're probably low on RAM - on an 64bit PC I thin you need at least 8Gb (if not more) to compile current MAME.

mmmm also here.... my actually miniPC as only 4GB of ram DDR3. i can limit the usage of build in some mode (problably on future i can't build future version or update thru retropie-setup but but it's better than nothing) ?

@Thorr69 OK good to know. I'm just surprised because when I select amiberry 500 via runcommand, I get "Unknown command FAILAT" with every game. And if I use Amiberry 1200 most of the games are working, that I tried yet. Do you know what this error message means?

@nemo93 I haven't upgraded to the latest Amiberry because LR-PUAE has worked well for me. It's very quick to load games and game speed and sound are on par. So I haven't seen a reason/need to try it.

@Rinusch thanks again for rephrasing despite my clear lack of understanding. You did right by raising a ticket directly. Somehow I'm still convinced your issue is related to the one I've mentioned earlier about the custom controls. Anyhow thanks for your patience.
