RetroPie 4.2 & Amiga - disappointing experience
-
What's up with the RetroPie Amiga support?
UAE4ARM is not installing correctly. Amiberry does not recognize my gamepads.
The Wiki only mentions UAE4ALL and UAE4ARM, but nothing about Amiberry.
Why are the RetroPie/EmulationStation gamepad settings not used by Amiberry?
I wonder if RetroPie is still actively maintained, no updates for 6 months now.
Thanks

RetroPie is constantly updated.

amiberry is just a fork of uae4all or uae4arm (can't remember which one) that has some minor advantages.
It is not a retroarch system, that's why it doesn't support controllers out of the box. The most used way is to use xboxdrv to map your controller, but i must say that it is not perfect if you want to play games that require different input methods.And just because there isn't a new image download for 6 months, that doesn't mean that there are no updates. That's what the online update option is for.

When I run "Install/Update all core packages" I just get a bunch of error messages, it doesn't matter if its "from binary" or "from source". Same when trying to install "UAE4ARM". That's why I have a feeling that's it's not maintained anymore.
Tried it with latest 4.2 SD image for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
