I'll try this as soon as I can, thank you!

@Warshi This puzzled me for a long while as well! Where are those games!? I'm glad you mentioned this here.

@HPK-de said in UAE/Amiga alternative?:

For me Dosbox is way easier, hardly any probem getting games up and running.

It's an amazing emulator for sure. One of the most impressive out there. You also raise a good point about the particular time frame in question as far as port quality is concerned.

Why is it not possible to get an emulator where you just have to throw a amiga-file at?

I've been using the same kickstart rom for years now and after it's set, I don't have any issues loading games myself. Loading the game's disk image and pressing reset is all that is needed most times. I do seem to remember that finding a kickstart rom that would perform well was a bit of a search though.

In case anyone is interested I created a module for it and submitted a pull request to @zerojay's retropie extra repository:

https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/pull/184

I only tested on my pc but it should work on the pi too.

I know this is an old thread, but just starting to look into Amiga emulation on my Pi3 and it looks to me like UAE4ARM is now officially part of libretro (https://github.com/libretro/uae4arm-libretro). Any chance this could get added to the setup script, or has anyone had any experience with it to advise any reason not to try it?

I installed libretro-puaue recently and it seems to work OK for the few games I have tested, but I found it has a big drop in frame rate when running many games as .hdf files instead of .adf files. Not sure if it's entirely due to my game config file settings or if uae4arm is more optimized but wanted to give it a shot.

Great work :)

Someone familiar with this system should take a look at your changes and see if they are worthwhile for retropie as a whole.

@xFlesk Really appreciate the detailed instructions, will give it a shot!

@vincedj I have tried the config updates and is fine but wanted it with minimal loading times. Savestates are perfect on most systems but doesn't look possible to launch directly into one here.
