How can i start a specific amiberry configuration from Retropie Menu? (With HD config).

Turrican2k

I set up a new Retropie system and transferred the old configuration files from amiberry (to start HDFs) to the new system. Unfortunately that doesn't work anymore! In the relevant *.sh file, "-f conf/hd1200.uae" is appended after the start command, but it doesn't seem to start anymore. Why and how can I make it bootable again?

Newer versions of Amiberry may have different parameters or behavior. Which version do you have installed ? What RetroPie version do you have now ?

Which configuration files are you referring to ? It's not clear whether you created your own .sh script launching files or you modified the runcommand emulator entries.

The newest Version, Retropie 4.8.2 and Amiberry 5.5.1.

How can I launch a configuration I created in Amiberry in Retropie? The previous option of starting the configuration in an sh script no longer works.

The configuration SH file says:

#!bin/bin/bash
"opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry.sh" -f conf/hd1200.uae

the hd1200.uae is my configuration file, in older versions this configuration was started correctly and now it no longer works.

Try with

/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/amiberry -f conf/hd1200.uae

@Turrican2k I can run .uae configs straight from the frontend (eg. EmulationStation) using latest Retropie (4.8.2 ) and Amiberry (5.5.1). No need for additional .sh or whatever.

If you keep having issues it might be related to the .uae format itself as some options/parameters have been removed/added recently as @mitu mentioned.

If you could post the .uae content that would help. Additionally I'd like to recall that you can check logs under /dev/shm/runcommand.log. Also Amiberry can generate log on its own if you go to the GUI > Paths and tick the box next to logs (off top of my head hence might be at different location). Having those 2 logs would help a lot.

@nemo93 you can copy the *.uae files directly to the roms directory and it works for me 🙋🏼‍♂️ but how can I link these files? otherwise you cannot change and save them directly in the amiberry GUI.

@Turrican2k good news. You can always rely on some 'symlinking' yet I'd advice against that and stick to the manual way.

Load up your .uae and edit the various options/parameters from the GUI then save it (GUI > Configs). The .uae will be saved into your Retropie configs/amiga/amiberry/conf directory. You could then move it into the roms/amiga folder.

It's quite rare for the .uae structure to change hence you shouldn't be required to modify it every single day. I do not know your exact use case though.

@nemo93 Yes, the link works fine. Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, this worked better in older versions of amiberry.
