Hi guys, does the standard retropie 4.4 come with an amiga emulator? I've added some amiga roms but they are not showing up. I would also like to add st roms so I guess the same question for those.

Can I add emulators? is it diffuicult?

cheers guys

Both are supported. Have you added the ROMs to the correct folders?

@goobatroopa i'll double check thanks for letting me know

@goobatroopa

Ok I've checked and the roms are in the roms folder

retropie-mount/roms/amiga the files are .adf files

the st roms are in retropie-mount/roms/atarist the files are in .ipf files

I have other roms listed for example retropie-mount/roms/n64 and they run fine so the file path seems ok

The roms I got were from [removed]

@Waylander121 which Amiga emulator are you trying to use? Not all of them support .adf

@quicksilver isn't adf one of the default fileformats for amiga games? ipf are the ones that are not supported without a specific addon as far as i know.

@EctoOne according to the docs Amiberry and lr-puae do not support .adf

@Waylander121 please check the forum rules and don't list ROM sites.

@quicksilver said in Adding Amiga and ST support:

@EctoOne according to the docs Amiberry and lr-puae do not support .adf

I see that but that makes no sense. I would say it lists the extensions which are best for each emulator. That would be lha for WHDLoad games for Amiberry and UAE which is just a config file that has to point to the adf file for lr-puae.

In any case, EmulationStation should at least display the games if an Amiga emulator is installed. All relevant file extensions are included in the es_systems.cfg.

@BuZz can you confirm that some extensions are restricted to specific emulators or is that an error in the docs?

BuZz

@EctoOne extensions are per system. So it may display unsupported extensions depending on emulator used.

Amiberry supports adf fine btw

You will also need to purchase kickstart roms for the Amiga system
