Help Booting Amiga Games
-
Bit of an Amiga noob here but I am having trouble loading a good number of amiga games via amiberry built through the RetroPie installation package manager. Some games seem to boot just fine but other seem to want to boot and launch an Aros shell and do little else. I have tried various commands but all I get back is: "object not found."
Does this sound familiar to any of you Amiga fans out there?

OK, been playing around for a while and it seems to be an issue with the kickstarter rom. For whatever reason it keeps reverting back to the rp-a500 bios.
This seems like rather odd behavior as other elements in the amiberry setup (Paths, etc.) manage to keep their states after having been edited.

Right, so after many hours of fiddling around with Amiberry, reading docs, etc., I have figured things out on my own.
As a little bit of help to others who might be scratching their heads when little more than a terminal is loaded instead of a game I'd highly recommend double checking the settings. Amiga (Amiberry) emulation is no where nearly as straight forward as other plug-and-play systems. While I figured I could simply make global changes and have things run easily I quickly (that is lie....way too much time if I am truly honest) came to realize that each and every game has to be setup and configured before they are booted.
With that said, setting up for the proper BIOS, ram, etc. and saving the configurations are key.
