Amiberry - Unknown command runme.exe

[stevecrawf0rd]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a complete n00b with EVERYTHING Pi.

I've just installed and running Retropie and the latest from source Amiberry on a 400. I've downloaded a ton of Amiga kickstart versions with the hope that one sticks and according to Amiberry's github page I have the correct Kickstart files to add to the BIOS folder.

Thing is, the majority of games I have (.lha and .zip files... mainly zip) don't seem to run. I'm often sent to an AmigaDos screen with the 'Unknown command runme.exe ' message appearing. Some run but go to a blank black screen and that's all. Few work fine

Any idea on what I should try or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steve

PS. In case it matters, I don't have a Windows computer just a Mac (hence me not going down the Amiga Forever Rom route)

@stevecrawf0rd sounds like you got the wrong games archives.

You need floppy images in .adf format, eventually compressed in .zip format, or (hard disks) whdload games in .lha format.

The zip that are saying "Unknown command runme.exe" are whdload games recompressed in .zip for WinUAE only (to run them directly on Windows, without launching the WinUAE GUI). If you put them in the roms/amiga folder of RetroPie, you are basically trying to insert a hard drive into a floppy drive.

If you have .lha files too, but they don't run, maybe these are not floppy images. LHA used to be the standard archive format for the Workbench applications, the desktop of the Amiga.

Ahhhh, so if I had the .adf files I could just zip them all up and they should work, is that right?

Thanks for pointing out the simple mistake and putting me on the right path.
