      How to replicate the problem: Start a game from amiberry

      Hi

      Just having an issue starting Amiga games through Amiberry.
      I understand I am using a retropie beta version and amiberry beta version so there's bound to be some bugs.

      I basically downloaded and installed the retropie 4 image from the website. Then installed Amiberry from source.
      Moved over the kickstart roms and a few games.
      Everything was working perfectly. Games were running ok

      I have then ran an update from the retropie menu and updated Retropie to 4.6.4 and updated Amiberry also.
      Now when I go to start an Amiga game from Amiberry I receive a black screen with a mouse pointer.
      No error message occurs.
      I have recreated the symlinks and updated the whdload.xml file and I have removed the amiberry config folder uninstalled and reinstalled amiberry.

      Any help appreciated, I will likely install retropie from scratch again

      Regards

      Jimi

        There could be an issue with the new Amiberry version - but you can try installing the emulator from binary, instead of using the source version.

          @mitu I actually just tried that :) and it is working ok.

          Do you know if there is a difference with the pre-compiled and source version?

          Now when I run Amiberry directly from the retropie menu I have to press a button to enter the GUI and when I escape to exit it
          goes to an Amiga workbench screen. No real issue with it just curious as to why it may do this.
          Games are running fine.

          Regards

          Jimi

            Yes, the binary is built from a different (earlier) version of Amiberry. The binaries are not automatically updated for each new upstream change.
