Did a clean install of retropie and PS3 controller works now! I just can't get disk swapping to work now;)

Sorry :)

I was a little inaccurate formulating the question!
In fact I think that any that has wanted in the past to configure a gamepad on uae4arm has encountered a similar problem...

Pi Model: 2+
RetroPie Version Used: 4.1 downloaded from the website
USB Devices connected: Generic usb keyboard
Controller used: FC30 8bitdo

I saw another thread with a similar problem.

Unfortunatelly, after a lot of trying to replace uae4arm binary, it crashed whatever I pass the curson on input configuration tab, inside uae4arm.

Someone has some advice to configure a gamepad/keyboard on this emulator?

Hi,

I've had similar problems when trying to run an Amiga emulator. I've found the process of using the emulators somewhat clunky through RetroPi/EmulationStation.

A few pointers to try:

Use UAE4All instead of UEA4Arm as I've found UAE4All to load most games without a black screen. I usually use an A500 kick start.

Try another copy of the game, some Amiga ADF files have been cracked and don't work well. Look for some clean Amiga roms, they aren't so easy to find online.

I've struggled getting multi disk games to load reliably.

Another issue is mapping USB SNES joypad a real pain to do on UAE4Arm, just wouldn't like the mappings or save them. UAE4All seems to save the configuration with some luck.

Overall, my experience hasn't been that great using the Amiga emulator. Using the older defunked UAE4All frontend seems to be more reliable.

If anyone has anymore pointers and tips please share.

@BondenSpey you can use a Joystick or Gamepad as using a Mouse.

hey there ! this is a beutiful theme ! thanks for it !

i use it on my batocera

is it possible to activate buttons for add games to favorites ?

i dont know how to edit the xml

thanks

@PiE81 Joymap is a strange one. I found that version 0.4 didn't work with my PS3 controller so I ended up sticking with version 0.3 whereas other users reported the reverse. You could experiment with different versions and see if there are any that work for you.

Hi,
I've installer UAE4ARM and it works great!!!!
Thank you.

@guitarbloke Take a look at this alternative setup to recreate the Amiga:

With UAE4ARM it works. Thanks

Alternatively, in uae4arm you could use xboxdrv and map Start as KEY_F12 and Select as KEY_Q, which would give you the desired effect.

@Pyjamarama
Sadly the scraper currently does not support Amiga:

An auto-scraper for EmulationStation written in Go using hashes. This currently works with NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GBA, MD, SMS, 32X, GG, PCE, A2600, LNX, MAME/FBA(see below), Dreamcast(bin/gdi), PSX(bin/cue), ScummVM, SegaCD ROMs.

I would love to use it for Amiga games also :(

@Bytechanger they don't show in the menu. Launch from the emulator.

OK this is solved by this way and by adding kickroms files in the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS :)

Thank you for your help!

Thanks a lot!
I've installed the ua4all emulator (<Retropie Setup / Manage Packages / Manage Optional Packages / ua4all / install from binaries ) and it works!

@EVEGames said in Which Amiga emulator are you using?:

@mediamogul
Sir you are a scholar and a gentleman!

You should hear my singing voice.

Many thanks for your advice!

@BuZz

You sir, are a prince among the less princely.

Thanks.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I can confirm that the Mayflash Genesis / Mega Drive adapter does indeed work with Retropie / UAE4ARM for Amiga emulation. I haven't had a chance to play with it too much but I was able to play Datastorm in simultaneous two player mode with two original Konix Speedking joysticks. I could move around happily and fire my guns - cool! I didn't have time to try out any other games or joysticks, but initial results are good. The Mayflash adapter is way cheaper than any other 9 pin adapter I could find (especially dual) so this was a real win.

Couple of things to mention though...

-Configuring the input confused me for while because I wanted to set the fire button to B. However I discovered that you can't skip button A during setup. I therefore set fire to A and assumed I would need to edit it manually in the config file afterwards. However when I launched the game, the fire button worked just fine, so no need to change. Button settings are below.

-Bizarrely even though I had configured the input, pushing the joystick right in the Emulation Station screen, opens up the EmulationStation menu, as though I have pressed Start/Select. Works fine in the game though. This is not really a problem as I can use the keyboard to navigate or just cycle left though the menu!

-In UAE4ARM you will need load the rp-a500 config and set input Port 1 & Port 2 to the Mayflash and save.

D-pad Up - Button 12
D-pad Down - Button 14
D-pad Left - Button 15
D-pad Right - Button 13
A / Fire - Button 0
(Oddly these mappings differ to what is shown on the Mayflash packaging)
