Commodore Amiga Section. This is one of the largest and most complete rom sets available. A500,A600,A1000,A1200,A2000,A3000,A4000 are all here. The Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. The first model, the A1000, was launched in 1985 and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking. Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 (1993)(Commodore)(A1200). For the best emulation experience, you should have copies of the original Kickstart ROMs for each of the Amiga model you want to use. Using the built-in replacement Kickstart is possible, but it is less compatible with Amiga software. Getting Kickstart ROMs via Amiga Forever. Akiko is a CD32 and CDTV emulator for Windows®. It runs with the help of a CD32/CDTV adapted version of WinUAE and with the help of the Install2001 system which was also used in the Amiga version of the CD32 Games Install Kit. The CD32 is a 32 bit game console which was manufactured and released by Commodore in late 1993.

The various operating system components which are included in Amiga Forever do not exist in a 'demo' version. For this reason, a demonstration version of Amiga Forever is not available. However, you can try Amiga Explorer, which is a part of Amiga Forever, and you can get an idea of the content of Amiga Forever by looking at the descriptions. This guide focuses on the Amiga Kickstart part only, and especially when used with the Amiga emulator WinUAE. Here you will find out which Amiga ROM version you need to emulate different Amiga computers (A500, A600, 1200 etc.). Amiga ROM files have been transferred from real Amiga computers and use the extension.ROM.

Amiberry is a fork of UAE4ARM with support for WHDLoad, which offers a better console-like experience.

Please refer to the official Amiberry wiki for a detailed step-by-step installation and config guide.

ROMS

For the optimal Amiberry experience, it is recommended that pre-installed WHDLoad packages are used. Amiberry has been designed to have compatibility with the 'Retroplay' WHDLoad packs. For more information on WHDLoad packages, see here.

Retroarch configs

Setting	Choices (default in bold)	Notes
Model	A500 / A600 / A1200	This setting predefines a range of other settings including CPU, memory, and which Kickstart BIOS to use.
Video standard	PAL / NTSC	Most software is PAL.
High resolution	true / false	If off, high-res Amiga screens will have their horizontal resolution halved (only every other horizontal pixel will be drawn). Most classic games employ low-resolution screens.
Crop overscan	true / false	Crops the overscan, which may result in clipped images in some games. A combination of NTSC and overscan settings will let you achieve all the possible resolutions for the Amiga screen; see the table under 'Rendering' in the docs.
Use analog	false / true
LEDs	standard / simplified / none	Shows drive activity and power LEDs at the bottom right.
CPU speed	real / max	'real' is recommended for games designed to run on an A500-class Amiga but which won't work on faster Amigas. This includes many classic Amiga games. If set to 'max', the CPU emulation will run at the maximum speed that the host CPU can achieve. lr-puae will spend as much time as it can emulating the 68000 CPU and will not wait at all per frame.
CPU compatible	false / true	If enabled, E-UAE will use a slower but more compatible version of the CPU false emulation. This may be necessary to run some some demos and games correctly.
Sound output	none / interrupts / normal / exact	* none - audio emulation is disabled. * interrupts - audio emulation is enabled but audio output is disabled. * normal - audio emulation is enabled and output enabled. * exact - audio emulation is enabled and exact output enabled.
Sound frequency	11025 / 22050 / 44100	The frequency of emulated audio output in Hertz. Typically, higher frequencies will require more work, but have better quality.
Sound channels	mono / stereo / mixed	The Amiga supports 4-voice stereo sound, with two channels output on the left channel and two on the right. mono - monophonic output; all Amiga voices are output on a single channel. stereo - stereo output; two Amiga voices are output on the left channel and two on the right. mixed - stereo output; the four Amiga voices are mixed and output on both left and right channels.
Sound interpolation	none / rh / crux / sinc	Interpolation is a technique which 'smoothes out' the audio. The three other choices are different algorithms for it which may give varying results and performance hits.
Floppy speed	100 / 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 / 600 / 700 / 800	Valid values are 1x to 8x the speed of a standard Amiga floppy drive. Values other than 100 may affect compatibility with Amiga software, especially the floppy-based copy-protection systems included with some games.
Immediate blit	true / false	If enabled then blits performed by the Amiga chipset emulation will be reported as finishing immediately. This may improve performance at the price of compatibility.
NTSC chipset	true / false	Set this to match the video system
Correct aspect ratio	true / false
Vertical centering	none / simple / smart	Used for centering the screen vertically within the emulator display (which is then positioned by the Retroarch display)
Horizontal centering	none / simple / smart	See above.

ROMS

Place your Amiga ROMs and configuration files in

extension	file description	requirements
.uae	text config file pointing to .hdf, .adf, or .ipf	needs to be created per ROM
.adf	disk image	loads directly
.adz	zipped disk image, seems rare	not supported
.dms	disk image, seems rare	loads directly
.fdi	disk image, seems rare	loads directly
.ipf	disk image	requires capsimg.so in retroarch directory
.hdf	hard disk image	requires WHDLoad set up
.hdz	zipped hard disk image	requires WHDLoad set up
.m3u	text config file	needs to be created for multidisk games
.zip	must contain an .adf, .hdf, or .ipf	unzip is handled by Retroarch
.lha	zipped hard disk image in an Amiga-specific compression format, not handled by lr-puae	unzip is handled within the emulator

One thing that Amiga enthusiasts seem to point out repeatedly is that although you may be able to expand an .lha file on Windows, you often shouldn't; the Amiga operating system and Windows don't always agree on paths and special characters, with the result that you can corrupt the file when unzipping it.

Disk images, WHDLoad and M3U support

You can pass a disk or hdd image (WHDLoad) as a rom.

Amiga Kickstart Roms Download Free Pc Windows

Supported format are :- .adf, .dms, .fdi, .ipf, .zip files for disk images. Note that .ipf files require additional files, see below.- .hdf, .hdz for hdd images. Note that hdd images require WHDLoad to be set up, see below.- .m3u for multiple disk images. Note that these have special requirements, see below.

Note that .lha files are not supported. If you want to use the 'RetroPlay' WHDLoad set, there is a conversion script here that can convert the roms into a format playable with lr-puae.

When passing a disk image, a hdd image or a m3u file as parameter the core will generate a temporary puae_libretro.uae configuration file in RetroArch saves directory and use it to automatically launch the game.

Configuration

To generate the temporary .uae configuration file the core will use the core options configured in RetroArch.

The most important option is the model.

Three models are provided (hardcoded configuration) :

Model	Description
A500	Simulate an Amiga 500 with OCS chipset, 1MB of RAM and 1.8MB of slow memory expansion (bogomem).
A600	Simulate an Amiga 600 with ECS chipset, 1MB of RAM and 4MB of fast memory expansion.
A1200	Simulate an Amiga 1200 with AGA chipset, 2MB of RAM and 8MB of fast memory expansion.

As the configuration file is only generated when launching a game you must restart RetroArch for the changes to take effects.

IPF Support

Most full-price commercial Amiga games had some form of custom disk format and/or copy protection on them. For this reason, most commercial Amiga games cannot be stored in ADF files unaltered, but there is an alternative called Interchangeable Preservation Format (IPF) which was specifically designed for this purpose.

IPF support is done through the CAPSIMG library. To enable it you have to put a dynamic library called capsimg.dll (Windows) or capsimg.so (Linux, macOS) in your retroarch root directory (where the retroarch executable is located; in a default install, this is /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/).

On linux system (x86 or x86_64) correct architecture library must copied into BIOS folder instead of retroarch/bin folder.

Compatible CAPSIMG libraries for Windows, macOS and Linux can be found at https://fs-uae.net/download#plugins

Please be aware that there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the library. Choose the one corresponding to your RetroArch executable.

As of July 1 2019, .ipf support may not work on Raspberry Pi, though it is apparently working on Windows.

M3U Support

When you have a multi disk game, you can use an .m3u file to specify each disk of the game and change them from the RetroArch Disk control interface.

An M3U file is a simple text file with one disk per line (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U).

Example :

Simpsons, The - Bart vs. The Space Mutants.m3u

Path can be absolute or relative to the location of the M3U file.

When a game asks for it, you can change the current disk in the RetroArch 'Disk Control' menu :- Eject the current disk with 'Disk Cycle Tray Status'.- Select the right disk index.- Insert the new disk with 'Disk Cycle Tray Status'.

Note : zip support is provided by RetroArch and is done before passing the game to the core. So, when using a m3u file, the specified disk image must be uncompressed (.adf, .dms, .fdi, .ipf file formats).

WHDLoad

To use WHDLoad games you'll need to have a prepared WHDLoad image named 'WHDLoad.hdf' in RetroArch system directory (~/RetroPie/BIOS).

In this WHDLoad image you must have the three kickstart roms (kick34005.A500, kick40063.A600, kick40068.A1200) in the 'Dev/Kickstart' directory.

To do this, you can consult the excellent tutorial made by Allan Lindqvist just jump to the 'Create WHDLoad.hdf' section.

The core only supports HDD image files format (hdf and hdz) and slave file must be named 'game.slave'.

Create a hdf file for a game

If you have a WHDLoad game in a zip or a directory, you will have to create an image file.

To do this you can use ADFOpus or amitools.

Example, to create a hdf file from a zipped WHDLoad game :- Extract files from the zip to a directory.- Go to the directory where files were extracted.- Rename the main slave file (ending with '.Slave') to 'game.Slave' (certain games have many slave files, guess which is the right one).- Pack the directory in a hdf file : - Using ADFOpus (see Allan Lindqvist's tutorial). - Using amitools.

The amitools command to use is :

Note the size of the HDF specified by SIZE_OF_HDF must be greater than size of the directory to store the additional filesystem informations (I use a 1.25 ratio).

Amiga Kickstart Rom 1.3

Many files out there have a directory structure that looks like this:

This will not work in lr-puae. You can use ADF Opus to create an HDF file that looks like this:

The two big changes:1. there isn't a folder at the top level. If your .slave file isn't at the top level of the .hdf, you will get a DOS window popup stating 'DOS Error #205 (object not found) on reading '.slave'.2. Instead of .slave, that file must be named game.slave. It doesn't matter (despite what you may see on the net) whether it's .Slave or .slave, based on my testing.

If you want to use the 'RetroPlay' WHDLoad set, there is a conversion script here that can do all the above on Raspberry Pi and convert the roms into a format playable with lr-puae.

Game that needs a specific Amiga model (AGA games for instance)

If a game needs a specific Amiga model (AGA games for instance), you can specify which amiga model to use.

To do this just add these strings to your adf, hdf or m3u filename :

• '(A500)' or '(OCS)' to use an Amiga 500 model.

• '(A600)' or '(ECS)' to use an Amiga 600 model.

• '(A1200)' or '(AGA)' to use an Amiga 1200 model.

Example : When launching 'Alien Breed 2 (AGA).hdf' file the core will use an Amiga 1200 model.

If no special string is found the core will use the model configured in core options.

.uae: Using a configuration file for your games

You can pass an '.uae' configuration file as a rom and the core will load the settings and start emulation without first showing the gui.

Look at the sample configuration file 'Lemmings.uae' for help (see below). You can use that sample as a starting point for making your own configuration files for each of your games.

You can find the whole documentation in configuration.txt.

lr-puae auto-generates a .uae file called /roms/amiga/puae_libretro.uae based on your Retroarch settings, but you can create them manually, pointing to the ADF and Kickstart ROM like this:

Files may be .hdf or .adf. Note that .m3u files are not supported.

Below is a sample to use as a template for creating your own .uae file. If you want to use more than one floppy disks, you need to activate them via floppy1type=0, floppy2type=0, etc.

Resolution and rendering

A said in P-UAE configuration.txt:

Three parameters control the output resolution of the core :

Name	Values	Default
Video standard	PAL, NTSC	PAL
High resolution	false, true	false
Crop overscan	false, true	false

With this settings all the standards resolutions of the amiga are available :* 360x284: PAL Low resolution with overscan* 320x256: PAL Low resolution cropped/clipped (without the 'borders')* 360x240: NTSC Low resolution with overscan* 320×200: NTSC Low resolution cropped/clipped (without the 'borders')* 720x568: PAL High resolution with overscan* 640×512: PAL High resolution cropped/clipped (without the 'borders')* 720x480: NTSC High resolution with overscan* 640×400: NTSC High resolution cropped/clipped (without the 'borders')

When using a high resolution mode, rendering will be doubled horizontally and vertically for low res games. It's compatible with High res games and the Workbench but scaling shaders (ex: scalefx) will look ugly.

When using a low resolution, scaling shaders (scalefx) look great but high res games and and the workbench are badly rendered (but still usable).

Known Bugs

• When load savestate, exiting GUI without reset. You have to re-enter GUI and do the reset.
• It's a debug release, so expect bugs.

Script for creating configuration files

Here you will find a script, and the necessary configuration files according to different version of UAE4arm, for creating game configuration file:

http://www.retropie-italia.it/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16

On EmulationStation, AMIGA, open '+Start UAE4Arm' and save a profile with random name then open the file and check the number in the parameter 'config_version'. Download the correct configuration file from previous link then rename it in 'config.uae' and copy it, together with 'AGCC.sh' (also download this from previous link), on Raspberry Pi. AGCC.sh uses the 'config.uae' file in order to create games configuration and (if you want) you can edit it. For default behavior emulator is searching for kickstart 2.04 in

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/amiga/

renamed in 'kick20.rom', so you have to rename your kickstart or edit 'config.uae'.

Also follow these steps:

sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

and edit the tag for 'amiga' emulator in this way:

<extension>.sh .uae .SH .UAE</extension>

Thensudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/emulators.cfg

and edit the line in this way:

uae4arm = 'pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/; ./uae4arm -f %ROM%'

Point attention to the floppy image extension (case-insensitive): .adf, .adz, .dms, .ipf, .zip

For game with multiple disks rename them in this way:

Game bla bla bla (Disk 1 of N).adf
Game bla bla bla (Disk 2 of N).adf
...
Game bla bla bla (Disk N of N).adf

in other words change ONLY the floppy identifier.

Note: The old script from Mark Dunning has a problem with games with more than 9 floppies (creates others wrong config files) and creates a config file with name like 'Game bla bla bla (Disk 1 of N).uae'. This new app create only 1 file for a multiple disk game with the exact name of the game, 'Game bla bla bla.uae'

Other solution

Alternatively, a native BASH script to perform the same steps directly on the RetroPie machine can be found here:https://github.com/Douggernaut/RetroPieAssistant/tree/master/Amiga

Tips and troubleshooting

• Stuttering? Amiga systems/games are PAL (50Hz), but modern TVs typically default to a 60Hz mode when connected to a Raspberry Pi. Enter the RunCommand menu for your Amiga emulator, and select a valid mode that uses a 50Hz refresh rate in order to match the original PAL rate, and thus, eliminate stuttering.

• Some games work better with the '512Kb Chip' + '512Kb Slow' memory configuration rather than the default A500 '1MB Chip'. If your game crashes or fails to load, change the memory settings in the 'CPU RAM' tab of the UAE4ALL2 GUI.

• Some games do not work properly if more than one floppy drive is in use. If your game crashes or fails to load try to use just DF0 (change disc image during game if required) and not use DF1, DF2 and DF3.

• For Raspberry Pi 1 users - make sure you overclock your device. Amiga emulation works much faster when overclocked to maximum. Without overclocking some games do not run at full speed.
