    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.

    Thanks for the useful update @rkoster, I wasn't aware of those changes.
    The .lha files run under Retroarch for windows as well without problems!

    @rkoster
    I'd like to thank you for your effort in producing this guide and tool. I successfully managed to configure RetroPIe/Emulation/RetroArch/PR-UAE to run the converted LHA files. However, I have noticed a bizarre bug/issue and found a workaround for it which I will detail below:

    I have two laptops of similar specification. This is the process I followed:

    Clean install of Kubuntu Install RetroPie, basic installation and PR-UAE from optional packagaes Copy kickstart bios roms to RetroPie/BIOS folder Copy LHA files to /RetroPie/roms/amiga folder Followed the above guide and used the script to convert LHA files Ran a few games to test

    This process worked perfectly on one laptop, so I decided to try on another, however, when I tried to run some games from retropie/emulationstation, the games would not load ( I tried the same games that I played on the previous laptop), and I was taken back to the amiga games list in emulation station.
    I looked in the /dev/shm/runcommand.log but did not see anything different to the logs on the first laptop.

    I thought that maybe the PR-UAE installation/configuration was the issue so decided to test with an ADF file and the game loaded confirming that PR-UAE worked.
    Out of curiosity I tried another converted LHA and to my surprise it loaded successfully.
    I tried another converted LHA file but it didn't work.
    I loaded the same ADF again successfully, then tried the converted LHA from the previous step and it loaded.

    So for some reason on this laptop, in order to successfully load a converted LHA, I must first load an ADF - this is tedious for 60+ games, but once the LHA has loaded once, it will load again without having to run an ADF first.

    Anyway, this was my experience. I have no idea why this happened, but I thought I would share just in case other people would benefit from it.

    Thanks again for creating this guide and tool!
