@Lolonois Thank you very much for your feedback. I'll look into your suggestions :).

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.

@lovemehate said in No matter what image i use on RP3+ controllers wont get detected:

is this the same one that comes with Raspberry pi imager ?

Yes, Raspberry Pi Imager downloads the same images.

Hey!

Many thanks to both of you for your feedback!

In the end, it was the Raspberry Pi Imager tool that got the job done - excellent!

Unfortunately, the weekly builds link didn't work for me, the same problem continued. I also, out of curiosity, tried Firefox (as was trying Safari and Chrome) and pressed the resume function every time the download failed along the way - that method completed the download.

Anyway, thanks again for your help re the Raspberry Pi Imager help! :)

@retronewbie-0 said in RetroPie runs different game than on pc?:

Unfortunately I don't know what is checksum so I don't know how to check it?

A checksum is unique number/string for a file that's calculated based on the file's contents. This is a method to ensure you have the a correct file, regardless of filename.

Use 7zip to get a CRC/SHA checksum of the file - https://www.blogsolute.com/7-less-known-features-of-7zip/26665/. Compare it to the official SMB ROM checksum from Tosec/No-Intro - if it's not a match, you have a hacked/modified ROM file and that's the reason the emulators behave differently.

Thanks for your help, I will give it a try.

Thanks again

@silk You're using a very old RetroPie version. Use the latest image from retropie.org.uk/download.

Can you add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

@ULTRA-MAGNUSS I found a solution to Cobra Command on my own. Use cobram3.zip as your rom. cobra.zip and cobraab doesn't seem to work. Create a cobram3.daphne folder with the frame file, video files, and sound file in the daphe folder. If you already have .dat files in your cobram3.daphne folder, delete just the .dat files. Once you try to run the game it should parse your video and then should be ready to play. I'm so happy I got it working. Now I gotta figure out how to remap the controls.
