I managed to get it working. I uninstalled amiberry, cleared the /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry folder. Reinstalled from sources, recopied various bios roms and ended up with this rom working:

kick40068.A1200 -> /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/kickstarts/Kickstart - 391773-01 (USA, Europe) (v3.1 Rev 40.068) (A1200).rom

I also ensured 755 permissions on the kickstart roms - they were 744 before. Not sure which of these steps actually fixed the issue though.

If interested, I can also raise another PR at some point regarding my post above, where I have custom launching scripts for A500, A600, A1200, and CD32 and a modified emulators.cfg to suit. Maybe you can take a look at it and see if you are happy to add it in. I know it's x86 only and probably not a priority but I think it improves on the defaults for those who use it.

I think the case looks pretty neat, but the $80 is way too much for me to ever even think about purchasing one. I actually own one of those joysticks with the built-in fpga C64 in it that I bought for $3 at a thrift store, and while not quite as functional as the C64 mini without modification, it's served me well enough, and I plan on modding it when I get a change.

Thanks for the reply i'll post a log tonight.
i'll try fs-uae too :)

@dirty_monkee This issue may be of interest regarding the “Volume DH0 is write protected” error.

The best chance of success is to use RetroPlay's WHDLoads as this is what the Amiberry WHDLoad Booter has been designed for. The name of the WHDLoad I am using for SWOS is SensibleWorldOfSoccer9697_v1.7_0842.lha.

I wouldn't recommend using floppies - check the page for Loading from Disks (ADF) at the Amiberry wiki.

@dudleydes
AMAZING!

It seemed using the correct .lha file did the trick!

Thank you a million times.

@madrikxiv I dropped a whole paycheck on a used Blizzard 68060 card and a 128mb memory stick, so that wasn't an issue. That card is still alive and kicking despite other problems my 1200 has had. Without USB, I had to transfer files using a hard drive, or burn them on a CDRW disk. I'd love to plug my 4tb USB drive into the 1200 and see what happens. LOL...

One thing I've discovered since getting into this again is that there is such a thing as TOO MUCH tonnage on your team, especially trying to survive the Hard and Suicidal difficulties. If you have 800 tons of mechs, the enemy is going to have even more, and while efficient mech designs and play strategies can defeat them, they are likely to unload enough ordinance focus fired onto a single mech of yours that the engine explodes or the pilot is killed before even getting a chance to surrender, eject, eject ammo, etc. Keeping your team weight low can prevent the one-round kills because the enemy won't have enough firepower to wipe one mech out before you can do anything about it.

@windale interesting. I'll keep it in mind. thank you :)

@mitu I don't want to screw anything up that's why i ask really dumb questions man. Yeah that worked, appreciate the lesson Mitu. Thanks again for your time have a great day / weekend.

@cacrlhungus74 This is old and maybe you already resolved, but i found saving config file under Amiberry you could also save game-specific controller mapping.
Althought i can only achieved mapping some keyboards commands (like F1) on controller shoulder buttons, which seems reasonable considered frontal buttons are needed for Cd32 games.

UAE

Ahh didn't know UAE wasn't being updated anymore. Cheers.

Nice, 100% done. Thank you so much, that worked!

@ljm99 any luck mate I still can't crack it

@tuki_cat The only problem was that 33% of times it failed to boot a game. I can’t understand why it’s impossible now to run any game at decent speed. Everything is 2x too slow.

Yup, I’ve just reinstalled previous emulator. Now it doesn’t work. The emu itself is up, but games won’t boot.

I also noticed that I’ve been using uae4all this whole time. I was convinced it had been uae4arm. Anyway, all worked in most cases, arm and berry don’t. But now all doesn’t as well.

Please excuse my mistakes. I’m aware they’re silly, but I’m a bit lost.

@jetsetfrankie Scanlines are yet available in Amiberry, but I understand that they are not far off and will be added in a future release.
