I tried scraping Batman The Movie individually today (using SELECT, not START) by manually inputting the title. It found the details for Batman The Movie on Amiga, including full description and box art.
9:04 easiest to scrape game by game hit select edit the games data rename it to something without the extra bit (it wont hurt the actual file, this is in regards to xml metadata) scroll down, scrape, pick the one you want if more than one comes up, hit save. rinse, repeat.
@@FishcatGames if it's an unwieldly naming style like underscores and periods separating words, i would for sure, as well as anything like '(PAL)' or bits denoting who cracked it etc.
If it does ask you for a username and password when connecting to your Pi from a Windows 10 machine try using: Pi as the user and raspberry for the password.
Thanks for this Mikey! Really appreciated. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have quite worked for me. I get the list of games but when I go to run one it'll bring up a WHD loader screen, think a bit and then it all goes black. Not even sure how to get back to the RetroPie screen without switching it off and on. Any tips or advice?
My games won't work either. When your screen goes black, you can press F12 key to get to the amiberry options, so the emulator is running. If you select the "+Start Amiberry" on the top of your gameslist, you can manually select your game in the "floppy drive" section, and then click start in the bottom right corner. Then the game starts, so i think it has something to do with a path-problem? But i haven't got it to work. It was the same problem with the UAE4ARM emulator.
This is a long shot im using amiberry to play a game called raffles and the game had a mixture of keyboard and joystick controls. How do I map that to a controller so I can play the game
I did exactly what the guide says and I get the list of games in Amiberry. When I try to start the game, I get the configuration menu. But whatever I do here, the screen goes black for a moment and I get back to the list of games… When I try to go in Amiberry + the same thing happens. I copied and pasted the exact same roms from Amiga Foreveer both to roms directory and roms---> amiga and NOTHING. Can you plz help? I bought pi400 just for this and now I can’t get it working :( I did exactly what the guide says, followed it down to the letter!
Hey Mikey. Great tutorial. But for some reason I cannot install amiberry. I’m running retropie on Linux mint on a laptop. I keep getting the x86 system error. Can you help with this?
Hi Chris, Amiberry is made for ARM based systems like Raspberry Pi so won't work on a laptop. I've had a look at the retropie docs and there is lr-puae which is under experimental in the retropie script. Worth trying out. If I have time I'll have a look at it and do a video.
What a nice and easy install you have there. Wish I could say the same! 😂 I followed your tutorial to the letter, but in my case when I try to start a game, or even just amiberry itself, it thinks about it for a while before simply returning to the Emulation Station screen. No error is displayed but it did say that errors could be found at /dev/shm/runcommand.log. So I enable ssh, log in remotely, and look in there. It says this: error while loading shared libraries: libserialport.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Alright, so it seems the installer for the Amiberry pre-compiled binary was kind enough to ommit certain dependancies. Thanks for that! But fortunately a quick scan of the amiberry github page shows how to install the dependencies yourself with the following command: sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0 libsdl2-image-2.0-0 flac mpg123 libmpeg2-4 libserialport0 So I do that, and now I can start Amiberry and I get the config screen. From there I can create a basic config, start it and get to the standard AMIGA boot screen. Progress! But, alas, starting any game results in it just sitting there. A cursor is displayed but it never progresses from that grey dialogue that states which game is being launched. And, this time, no errors are even logged at runcommand.log I think my version of Amiberry is a later version than yours. It seems on this version, things have got more complicated for running on retropie. That's as far as I've got for now, and not really sure how to proceed from here. I guess no AMIGA on retropie for me. 😐
Things have definately changed then. I knew about the libserialport0 issue when I did my last raspberry pi 400 video. I'm surprised that Retropie shipped the version without the dependancies needed. It shows that I need to do a new video on this setting it up again. I'll add it to my list. :-)
@@svenkarlsen2702 Thanks for the reply. Appreciate the slower loading but I’m looking to build an old skool authentic Amiga experience, including the loading times, and would prefer using IPF’s rather than cracked ADF’s which can be unreliable. Not sure the best way to go about it though
@@svenkarlsen2702 ok no probs, thanks for the response. I know IPF’s are supported in fs-uae but not sure how to build an amiga emulation box with a nice front end using fs-uae. I’ll have to continue researching
@@Stevieboy74 I don't know about the main FS-UAE executable, but the FS-UAE launcher probably requires more GUI libs and a display server to run. I'd use an old x86_64 box with a lightweight Debian or Ubuntu install for a dedicated FS-UAE box

I know this has been a while, so not sure if anyone said anything about the scrapper, the problem is how the games are named, all those numbers "."s and "_"s are the main problem, rename the games to their proper full names, and any version numbers or identifiers need to be in "()"
Yo Mikey, have you considered doing a review of Pimiga 1.5? Chris has pretty much included everything with the kitchen sink and then some! I chat to the creator/founder original dev regularly. He's planning on doing an OFFICIAL update later in the year, so I know he'd be glad of the feedback.
Hi, i cant for the life of me find single file .lha files anywhere. can find plenty of files with lots of other bunce inside but nothing like you have!
@@MikeyGRetro I did. And found it. I also realised the issue. When I downloaded a file it was saved as winrar file and I couldn't see the extension so I just unzipped it expecting the .lha file to be inside. Hence the confusion.
Black screen with a cursor. Sometimes I can hit escape and it goes through, sometimes it just locks. Also source is a newer version, so I would never reccomend binary unless you know the version matches. Amiberry does NOT create those binaries, it's Retropie who does.

9:04 easiest to scrape game by game

edit the games data

scroll down, scrape, pick the one you want if more than one comes up, hit save. rinse, repeat.
to save time, could I rename the file before adding it in the roms/amiga folder? or does it need to be changed in RetroPie?

What about .adf files? Can they be used in order to man more titles ?
are they useble?
Only the white screen is turned on when starting games. Do you know why?
Same case by here :(

Can you use IPF files rather than LHA?
Those are floppy images, not a packaged HD installed game.
They may work, but if they do, they will load slower and often require a manual config.
