Raspberry Pi Amiga emulation

I’m looking to get a Pi setup behind my big living room tv for Amiga emulation. It’s been a while since I looked in to the state of Amiga emulators on the Pi, so is there a way to get it running without a keyboard?

I have my PS3 controller working with it at the minute, so I suppose I need an emulator with a virtual on screen keyboard for disk swapping, pressing required keys etc. Are there any emulators that can do that?

I want to be able to just leave the Pi behind the tv untouched and when I want to play, grab the controller and relax on the sofa.

RetroPie + WHDLoad should work fine without keyboard as long as game does not require one. (like DesertStrike or Flashback who have F1/F10 key for certain options, or Pinball games for game start.

I find those logitech keyboard with touchpad working well for my home setup with RPi.

So there are no emulators with an on screen keyboard option?

My C64 emulator has one and one for the Amiga would be perfect.

Desert Strike, Flashback or Slam Tilt WHDLoad versions are fixed for full CD32 pad controls btw.

I guess since I always have keyboard around, I never even tried to use more buttons.

Thank you for info Retro-Nerd.
