Amiga folders do not exist in uae4arm

kaneelschep

Hi all.
I tried to find an answer, but the only thing i found was this topic.
That solution did not help for me since uae4arm was allready installed through retropie.
I installed it from source though. I thought that was the way to do it.
I deinstalled and installed from binaries. It didnt make a change.
The rest mostly talks about starting games from emulatorstation. Wich i dont want. I like uae and know it well on pc.
Whwm in uae4arm i cannot find any rom or game folder.
Wich i made like it sais here.

I am not a linux guru. Dont know wich version. I installed it from the 4.1 image.

Thanks a lot!

I don't think the ROMs show up and you should just see "uae4arm" under the Amiga menu in EmulationStation.

Here's how you can add the ROMs manually so you can then launch them automatically
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Amiga#launching-games-directly-from-emulationstation

Look in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and see if you have <name>amiga</name> in there.

Also if you are instead using /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and it doesn't have "amiga" and /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg has "amiga". Then you need to copy it over.

I am talking about in the uae4arm program.
In it i went through all the directories but cant find the roms or the bios (kick.rom) files.

I dont care about the emulatorstation list.
You are right it only sais uae4arm start.

I copied roms and bios (kick.rom) to retropie/roms/amiga and bios/amiga as it said on the page i linked.

I copied roms and bios (kick.rom) to retropie/roms/amiga and bios/amiga as it said on the page i linked.

Well the BIOS files kick13.rom, kick20.rom and kick31.rom go into the /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/ directory and the
.adf diskette images go into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/ directory. If your games are zipped up, then you'll need to extract them.

I know. Again... I followed the directions on the explanation page.
Some pages also mention the kick going into bios/amiga. So i put it in both bios. And bios/amiga.
Games are not zipped. Plain adf and some hdf

Load up the uae4all emulator and when you're on the "Floppy Drv" tab and you click the "DF0" button take a picture of what you see and just drag-n-drop that picture into your reply before you Submit it.

You don't have to unzip ADFs. UAE4Arm can load ZIP, ADF, DMS, EXE, ADZ and RP9 formats in the floppy drives.

kaneelschep

Thats it.

As extra info:
In uae4arm there is only an empty folder called data.

windale

You're in the wrong folder. You should not be in the 'opt/retropie' section, you should be in the 'home/pi/retropie/ROMs/amiga' structure.

Yorkie

You need to click on the two dots you have highlighted there ".." to go "up" the directory structure. After a couple of clicks you'll see home in the main window. Click on home and then pi and retropie

kaneelschep

... You are correct. I saw the retropie folder and thought no further. I feel stupid now.
Thanks a lot!

I have updated the wiki to reflect this.
