Here's a working CD32 config file for Amiberry

SpudsMcToole

After an incredible amount of hunting and endless trial and error, I've managed to put together a template .UAE file that loads CD32 games in the form of CUE/ISO files directly from the Emulation Station menu.

It also includes a couple of customisations, namely setting the second fire button to replicate Up on the joystick - great for platformers and Thrust/Asteroids-type games - and the other three to CD32 fire buttons, setting Delete on a USB keyboard to instant quit, and adjusting the display dimensions to fill the screen.

(You may want to adjust any or all of those to suit yourself depending on preference and which game you're playing. If a game needs the Blue firebutton, change joyport1_amiberry_custom_none_north=Joy2 Up to joyport1_amiberry_custom_none_north=Joy2 CD32 Blue)

You'll need to have CD32KICK31.ROM and CD32EXT.ROM in your BIOS folder, and your CUE and ISO files in the ROMS folder, along with this .UAE file saved under the same name as your game.

(So if it's SENSIBLESOCCER.ISO, you'll want to save the text below as SENSIBLESOCCER.ISO.UAE in the same folder.)

Here's the file:

Why use custom controls for CD32 controls when it’s one of the available controller modes?

Hi
Thanks for the config file. For some reason, it loads a pair of eyes against a black screen, and waits for something to be loaded. I have copied your instructions (same filename as ISO, in right folder, correct kickstarts in bios). I noticed you had 'flyharder' referenced in the config file so changed this for my filename also. Is there anything else I need to change to get this to work?

@willbox

The pair of eyes is the free alternative kickstart file (AROS)
So you don’t have your bios files correctly set or scanned

@SpudsMcToole I’m new to Amiga emulation... Have been trying this but it doesn’t load as seems unable to load the right rom
