Amiberry 5.6.3 on rpi3 (Buster) will not function
-
Describe the bug
Hi Guys, I hope this is an acceptable place to log this issue. I am having issues running Amiberrry v5.6.3 on a RPI3 using a clean 4.8.5 (Buster) image from the Retropie website. I have flashed the image a few times, installed Amiberry from binary and also source but am unable to get it to run. All kickstarts are correct with MD5 checked, deployment guide followed to the letter. When I launch a game (any game) (WHDLoad) it hangs on a black screen with a cursor in the top left corner. If I try to launch ./amiberry from command line, the GUI opens then immediately closes. I have tried everything from cleaning out .cfg files to imaging fresh over and over, but the same issues persist. I have an older build on a different SD card (stretch based), which works perfectly on the exact same hardware and controllers, but the latest build will not run.To Reproduce
This is easily reproduced by writing a fresh image, installing Amiberry then trying to run it, same issue everytime. I have tried using the same kickstart roms as my old build and also refreshed with new ones, all MD5 checked. I tried installing [r-puae2021] using the same kickstart and games rims on the same hardware and it works fine.
Expected behavior
I would expect the emulator to function normally aligned with documentation and previous experience of using the emulatorScreenshots

Additional context
While not an expert on linux I have been using Retropie and Amiberry for a long time, this is a new issue for me and I am uncertain why it is happening. I have tried disconnecting the controllers from the pi, no impact. I am using a ControlBlock to operate the controllers so that driver is installed and runningLove Amiberry?

Yes, not much in the log. I'll take a look when I get to my Pi to see what's not working in this version. Could be a regression.
-
@mitu ok thanks very much! :)

Looks like a regression after 5.6.1. Even though there was a report a couple of days ago with a similar configuration (RetroPie system), it doesn't seem that the fix applied works on a Pi3 setup.

@mitu am I best to hang fire while the code is reviewed or shall i try another clean build, then "just" install amiberry? or will i need to regress to v 5.6.1 if that is functional?
-
@manix You can install 5.6.1 if you wish to revert to the previous version, should work. I'll try to find the regression and see what solutions we have to fix it.

@mitu Hello! I'm happy to assist yet I have to confess I haven't had the time to test the latest releases (5.6.2/3 and the upcoming 5.6.4) as I usually do. Please let me know if you find anything.

@mitu thanks a lot. 5.6.4 has been released with many fixes indeed!
