RetroPie: Amiga emulation with Amiberry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Overview of Amiberry, the great new Amiga emulator for the Raspberry Pi. It is an updated fork of uae4arm.
Tested in March 2017 on RetroPie 4.1.20.
Amiberry:
blitterstudio.c...
github.com/mid...
RetroPie:
retropie.org.uk/
the runcommand amiberry option automatically chooses a500 or a1200 config depending on filename. (uses a1200 if AGA or CD32 is in filename).
Wow - very cool! Thanks Jools.
I want to do a 1200. How did you get amiberry installed? Do I download it to the Pi?
I downloaded retropie but theres no run command. Where are you getting these things from and how come evryone but me knows where to put all these files?
Works perfectly! This is really awesome...after twenty plus years being able to play the best versions of some of my childhood games (Cannon fodder, Lemmings). Thanks for the video!
cheers for this, I was just setting my Retropie up for Amiga today when your vid popped up.
Thanks for taking the time to recod this video. Very well explained and very useful!
a tutorial video about how to load whdload games pre-configured via the main menu could be very interesting too !!! 😊
I'll have to check that out :)
Floob I know this is an old video but hopefully you can help me. I have a usb/wireless keyboard. Retropie recognises it and the amiga emulator recognises it but when I launch Lemmings, Cannon Fodder, Goblins etc that use a mouse the keyboard doesn't do anything neither does my controller so I have to exit out and unable to play them 😣 Is there a work around?
I have this issue with all Amiga games!
The extended rom file is for the Amiga CD32.
Ah - thanks very much for that :)
@Floob Actually, the extended ROM is for both the CDTV and CD32. On both machines, there were 2 ROM chips, a 256K Kickstart 1.3 for the CDTV, and a Kickstart 3.1 for the CD32. These were both prettty much a standard Kickstart ROM. The extended ROMs were in the other ROM chip, which provided the CD audio player, configuration options, and management of the NVRAM in the CD32 - basically, the Extended ROMs held everything that was available without a CD that wasn't available on the non-CD based Amiga models.
Having trouble with a game called raffles on amiberry. The controller doesn't recognise all the buttons I think it was a mixture of keyboard and joystick. How do I map those keys to my controller.
I'm trying to rotate the screen 90° because I also use my cabinet for pinballs. I added the "rotation_angle=90" as per the instructions on the support site but it's not doing anything (yes I restarted everything) - I'm not sure where to look next. I know Linux, on which this is running, is notorious for having many config files each superseding the other... but which one?
Really great video! I wanted to ask, have you managed to get .uae file formats to load? I can only get .adf working, but I’d prefer .UAE. Any help would be appreciated :)
Hi. I must be missing something, but I mimic the install Amiberry steps. Belief I have all the necessary Kickstarts, but when I hit start Amiberry I don't get the GUI. I just get dumped back to the ROM list. Any advice?
Did you work this out, i also need help
@@IzzyTye Yes. I haven't played for a while now, but if I recall you don't actually need to launch 'Start Amiberry'. You launch a game and then hit which every button it is to get into RetropIe options. AND THEN... you switched to either A500 or A1200.
@@Switch625xxx Thanks, it worked😉
Its really amazing what the Sound(card) of the Amiga was possible to do at this time in the 90s.(The Jesus LSD end of your Video shows)
I put adf roms into the amiga rom folder, but nothing show up? Also Amiberry dont save my settings it seems
I've got a pre-built 64g image with amiberry and Ive managed to find the roms for new zealand story, would i still need the kickroms to run it on my pi3? thanks.. great videos by the way
Does Amiberry support USB floppy drives? So that you can play physical Amiga 500 floppy disk games and play them in the emulator straight out of the disk?
Looks like you can since 4.1.5. facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4794613033885251&id=1404251112921477
New Amiberry video here: ua-cam.com/video/81bNAS19OFs/v-deo.html
Windows 32 DiskImager will not open. It asks permission to make changes to my computer which I give it, then a blue circle spins for ten seconds after which it gives up and shuts off. No way to flash software to an SDcard.
for some reason when I click on the floppy drives section my pull down menu is blank even though I have several games in emulation station. I can load some by clicking on them from there, but keyboard, mouse and joystick don't respond.
@Floob Did you ever resolve the Joypad exit issue?
Can add scanlines filters on amiberry emulator?
i cant change the auto start config file. the amiga emulator always starts a 1mb ram profile so half my games cant load. unless i go and change it every single time
Hey there, great vid thanks! Just checking how you did the screen recording of Retropie / Amiberry? Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks :)
I used an Elgato to capture the signal.
How do I save my settings for nubs and mouse settings and 16:9 aspect ratio because soon as I exit it changes back to default?
I've installed amiberry on the picade but the controls do nothing. Any ideas?
I tried to install it but got an error message saying it was unable too. Same thing for UAE4All. Really want to play amiga games on my retropie but cant seem to figure it out.
Great video Floob - Installed and already loving the fact you can use launch a game straight from Disk 1.
A couple of Qs when you have time. I am using a Pi3 Model B. I have all the official Kickstarts. Same Amiberry Settings you are walking through. I am using an 8BitDo controller
1 - None of my configs save. For example if I change my exit key to F12 or make Port 1 my 8BitDo controller it works for that once instance when I load the game from the GUI but not if I try another game straight from EmulationStation menu or go back into the GUI
2 - Any game I try, even Cannon Fodder or Sensible Soccer, take almost 5 times as long as yours to load with multiple flickers and blank black screens. Have you edited your video?
Cheers
When you make the change, do you go back to configurations and hit Save?
Yep, I have edited the video, but I guess it will load faster if you move the slider on the "Floppy Drives" menu.
Hi Floob - I was able to get the configs to save after updating the permissions on all of the files.
Changing the floppy drive speeds certainly helped with load times but as expected was less stable.
Regarding loading multiple disk games by launching from disk 1 adf are you sure it loads the subsequent disks as needed?
If you have it, try the original Batman the movie game. After completing level 1, it asks for disk 2 but it's impossible to load the second disk. If I launch from Amiberry GUI and mount both disks there are no issues.
Just seeing if you can test and confirm. Thank you
Me and Amiberry took different mushrooms. I can see the all the kick*.rom[s] in /RetroPie/BIOS. All Amiberry sees is AROS ROMs.
Many thanks fantastic advice
Great video thanks for uploading. I found out how to make multi disk games auto load, you need to name the files "Game name (Disk 1 of ?)". I tested this and it does work. HTH
@Floob Thanks for the video! Did you have more time to play with Amiberry? Wondering if github.com/Douggernaut/RetroPieAssistant/tree/master/Amiga can be used for multi-disks or does Amiberry take care of this now?
Yep - multi should work fine:
Multi disk zip support for Vice (C64 emulator), fs-uae, uae4arm and Amiberry (Amiga). You can now launch Amiga disk images directly from Emulation Station with uae4arm and Amiberry.
Hey mate do you know how to put say a 3 disk game in to work thanks
Anyone know what the setup would be to run Amiberry from Attract Mode?
I can get Amiberry GUI to launch, I just can't pass the ROM name to launch directly. Thanks
Installed amiberry and put the roms in the Amiga folder. When I go to enter disks in the drives the box comes up with a list of emulators instead of games and I can't find a way of changing it.... anyone have any idea what's going on with That?
I’m using retropie, how do you exit games ?
when i use Amiberry whith any Worbench and open CLI it will do rare things when i type the letter x like do execute return or shut the program i use. can some one help me whith this
Any idea when RetroPie 4.1.20 (4.20?) will be officially released? I haven't updated since last year (3 something) and I was going to update today but there's no point if a new version is on the horizon!
RetroPie 4.2 has been released on 20th March. Bear in mind thats just a line in the sand, there are updates almost every day.
I installed Amiberry OK, but no Amiga Games yet. When I go to the systems rom file it's empty. Where did you get those roms and how did you get them in the right directory?? I found some rp files, but apparently those aren't roms. I have Amiga Forever 2017. Are the right roms in there in my PC?
You have probably worked it out by now, but the ROMs are still under copyright so you need to own them e.g. own a real Amiga and rip the ROM to a file. Luckily, Cloanto (creators of Amiga Forever) still have distribution rights to the original ROMs and have ready-ripped software versions (*.rom files). Cheapest way to get the roms is via Cloantos app on Android Play/Apple store. Alternatively purchase their Amiga Forever download and install it e.g. on a PC. For the PC install of Amiga Forever, the ROMS are in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\Amiga Files\Shared
om directory. If you buy the Amiga Forever plus versions you will get ROMs for all Amigas, which is great, if you buy Amiga Forever basic or their Android/Apple app you will just get the A1200 Roms. Just copy the ROMs to your Raspberry Pi via USB drive or via SSH (e.g. WinScP, need to enable SSH in the Retropi advanced settings) and put in the Amiberry ROM directory for it to pick them up automatically. N.B. *.rp files are Amiga Forever bundles files but Amiga Emulators can read them.

Cant seem to get sensible world of soccer to load on this, does the whole insert disc and then black screen. It worked on the other emulators but I followed the video and now it doesnt work :\
Why does my wireless logitech m515 not work, I cant get the mouse to work at all
thank you very much for this video. worked with mit RetroPie 4.2 - really helpfull. But for some reasons my the naming of the roms "Romname(Disk 1 of 2)" and "…2 of 2)" does not seem to work. currently I go into the amiberry config and load the other floppies seperatly and save "config for current disk".
what could I do about it? I could not find a good online documentation on how the naming should be
you need to name the files "Game name (Disk 1 of ?)". I tested this and it does work. You do need a space between end of game name and the (
somehow i cant seem to get my xbox360 controller with this. my dream is to be able to run games off the retropie without a mouse or keyboard plugged in. but some games just dont recognize the controler inputs
good choice of games!
Just got my Pi, but ther's no RetroPie in it. Do I have to download that too? Nothing seems finished in the world of Aimiga.No longer a consumer oriented product!
A pi is just a small form computer. It can run all sorts of things. If you want it to run retropie then yes you would need to Install it.
Do you know how to play super famicom games? I know i can put them on the snes folder but I want it to be in a different folder so I can have it on the main interface
iirc you have to add the famicon bios to the famicom rom folders. Or maybe in the retropie bios folder...
Pika Chu I know how to play famicom games. I want to play SUPER famicom games
You can find info and guides here:
retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8401/separating-snes-super-famicom-games/35
Good luck
looks like retropie will only take controllers with triggers and shoulder buttons
Hey Floob nice video. I was wondering how you would be able to uninstall an emulator. I am using Lakka on a Orange PI PC and unfortunately the LUTRO emulator keeps crashing everything. Any advice would be helpful! :)
Anyone had any success with wireless xbox 360 joypads? They show up in the drop down menu but don't work on any game. :(
Also, mine doesn't seem to select the second disk of my games. Just a black screen. Gutted.
you need to name the files "Game name (Disk 1 of ?)". I tested this and it does work. HTH
Could you do a tutorial on Intellivision? Thanks in advance
I'll add it to my list :)
and I found just the game for it!
