      @Kryomaani have the roms and games all got full read/write permissions? This is something I've had to do in the past to get them working.

        @BadFurDay As far as I cant tell, yes. I'll check again...
        .ADF files run perfectly, direct from Emulation Station... so I don't think is a permissions issue. Anyway, double-checking.

          I have the exact same problem and when I try to start a LHA file via "Quickstart" in Amiberry it works correctly with the A1200.

          Could it be a problem with Emulationstation passing the LHA file and the configuration to open to Amiberry?

          I have the Raspberry Pi 3b+, RetroPie 4.6 and Amiberry installed via source.

              I use Attract Mode on the Pi 4 with no issues, if it is a problem with Emulationstation then my suggestion won't be of any help.

                Works fine here. If you updated just amiberry without updating RetroPie-Setup you may have issues due to command line argument changes.

                That's the only thing I can think of.

                  You mean that we need to update RetroPie-Setup via "Update RetroPie-Setup script" and then run the "Update (from source)" for Amiberry?

                  I have the lastest version of RetroPie, 4.6, burned few days ago to a blank SD with the official image.

                  emulator.cfg says:

                  amiberry = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh auto %ROM%"
                  default = "amiberry"
                  amiberry-a500 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a500.uae %ROM%"
                  amiberry-a1200 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh rp-a1200.uae %ROM%"
                  

                  Edit: Running the two commands above right now.
                  Done. It works!

                      Usually it's best to use the full update from RetroPie-Setup. If you want to update a single emulator it's always a good idea to update the script first, else you can end up with a binary that doesn't match the helper scripts etc. In this case the launch script that passes the parameters.

                        @BuZz thank you.

                        BuZz can you also take a look at the "general" thread of Amiberry?
                        I'm finding that games runs a little faster then normal, I made a video about that. If you want I can make more of them. Thanks.
