amiberry directory

[mdx]

Amiberry in use: latest

I'd like to change the kickstart directory from /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS to /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/amiga AND make that change stays persistent across upgrades / reinstalls. Which RetroPie setup file do I patch for that?

This is a matter of consistency; all other emulators have their own rom directory under /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS. Even if the files are shared between emulators, using /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/amiga seems sensible. Dropping rom files straight to /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS leaves a messy unstructured bunch of files.

I've been previously able to use /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/Amiga. This doesn't work now:

# ls -ld ~/RetroPie/BIOS/amiga ~/RetroPie/BIOS/Amiga
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi    5 Jun  1  2018 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/amiga -> Amiga
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 3488 Jun 10  2018 /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/Amiga

In which script is this link being defined during amiberry installation?

# cd /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry
# ls -ld kickstarts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 22 May  5 17:28 kickstarts -> /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS

I don't see defined in the setup script:

# grep -i kick ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/amiberry.sh 
rp_module_help="ROM Extension: .adf .ipf .zip\n\nCopy your Amiga games to $romdir/amiga\n\nCopy the required BIOS files\nkick13.rom\nkick20.rom\nkick31.rom\nto $biosdir"

@mdx It doesn't look like you are running the latest RetroPie-Setup script as amiberry now uses $biosdir/amiga - I mentioned your version looked old in the other topic also.

@BuZz thank you for the extra pair of eyes. I'm on a version from a week ago, but indeed going over github commits the version changed recently from 3.3 to 5.1 in the meantime.
And indeed that commit includes the change:
"Move rom location for amiberry/uae4arm/uae4all to $biosdir/amiga".
