Amiberry won't run any games
-
First of all thank you for your support and help. Understand everything you do is friendly help.
On the other hand I got hooked following bolt statements of Retropie making it to run old AMIGA games plug and play and to spend quite some money on purchasing Raspberry Pi400, joysticks, supporting Amiga Forewer with premium package to obtain ROMs, SD card etc. Really sad now nothing is as easy as promised and not able to run ANY Amiga games no matter what I try.
Were I am. Retropie starts with Amiga Forever option. There I can see my games copied in LHA, ADF, ADZ... format. When I start any, small windows pops out saying I can press a button to configure, then dissapears and black screen remains. I can open Amiberry windows by pressing F12, make changes in the configuration but that doesn't help. Only two LHA games from what I tried gets stuck with a white screen instead of a black one. But that's it.
Respecting the guidelines. This is my setup:
Pi Model or other hardware: Pi 400
Power Supply used: Samsung fast charger 5V 3A, but tried even stronger DELL Notebook charger
RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.8 - 6e83a7d5
Built From: Selecting as option in the Raspberry Pi Imager
USB Devices connected: Mouse, Competition Pro USB joystick
Controller used: Competition Pro USB joystick
Error messages received: none
Verbose log (if relevant): ?
Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide) official guide from github, youtube videos, forums
File: ?
Emulator: amiberry build from source, ROMs obtained from Amiga Forever Premium package
Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)
How to replicate the problem: ?Appreciate any help or advice. Really desperate and demotivated.

Problem solved. For the record and for the others facing similar issue.
ROMs delivered in the AMIGAforever pack have to be extracted using the provided ROM Toolbox. Simple copy of the source file located on the supplied disk won't work.
