Have a look at this Topic, this might help:

I had the same problem and solved it the way you can see in the last 2 posts.

@Dwarfboysim Why don't you ask it here ?

I believe the problem is the same as

https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues/542

I have debugged it and described on the ticket how to fix it so you may not need the workaround soon I hope.

Getting the games to run with just a controller can be a pain. I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to get this working.

@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!

from the gamelist which file is loaded?
the .lha archive?

And is the .whd in the same folder as the whdload_db.xml
located possibly at
/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/whdboot/

I remember having an issue before with Amiberry and trying to reset the autoboots of my games. If I remember correctly I fixed it by going to:

/opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot/game-data

And deleting the whdload_db.xml file from there (or you could manually go through the entire list and remove the entries you wish to show the bootloader for again).

Obviously I would strongly suggest backing up the file first before deleting or editing it! I hope this helps!

Well... this seems to be the temporary fix... finally! Works good for me on the latest build. Just do what the user AnalogHero recommends at the bottom of the thread and it will load as it should.

@backstander

I don't think so. I'm looking for a file that would effect one game only. I suppose I could do it for all games at a push.

Have you got legit ROM files like from Amiga forever and include the rom.key file as well.

Also check your kickstart rom oath matches where your rims are and do a re-scan for Roms

@dudleydes Yes, best way for me to proceed is to remove all of the ADF files and replace them with WHDLoads. I experimented yesterday with some new WHDLoad games I found; they all work well. Very nice to see that no disk swapping is needed anymore when playing multi-disk games! That is really nice. Here and there I needed to tweak my controller settings a bit, but that was all easy to solve.

Thank you for your time and help and thanks to everybody who puts effort in making Amiberry & WHDLoad such a great experience.

@Stuffu

Guess that worked, sorry for all the posts, eager and stupid is a bad combo :)

@Dwarfboysim I believe you need to edit the hostprefs.conf file which you can find in /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/whdboot.

The following links at the Amiberry wiki should offer further guidance:

Host Specific Settings WHDLoad Booter FAQ

I have always used 'File Rename Turbo' by Kristanix Software.
It allows you to rename most of your files in batch mode easily.
Hope it helps!
