Amibian Raspberry PI issues/questions
Hi first post. Hopefully you guys can help with some answers. And apologies if this has been asked before. And also apologies for the long intro
So instead of using my A600, I thought I'd give emulation ago. I used WinUAE years ago (version 1.2 I think). And recently stumbled across a YouTube video of someone using a Raspberry PI. Which I found appealing. So I bought a PI 3b+ and 16GB micro SD card. While waiting for this to turn up in the post I installed WinUAE 4.2 on my Windows machine and had a mess about with it. I basically followed this YouTube tutorial: [ Show youtube player ] And created an A4000 on WinUAE running OS 3.9 with all the boing bags and a UAE Zorro II graphics card allowing up to 1920 x 1080 32 bit colour and a 2GB HDD. All worked fine. So my Raspberry PI turned up, so I downloaded the latest Amibian version and imaged the card. And got it up and running. And this is where my questions start. The UAE in Amibian seems less rich than that of WinUAE and is missing many left hand menu options. - Is this normal/correct? For instance there is no Hardware --> RTG board option. There is also no Turbo mode for the floppy drive. Is it possible to get the UAE Zorro II on the Raspberry PI? Lastly I'm also having issues creating a Hardfile on the Raspberry PI. Or more specifically adding the HDD in AmigaOS. The Amibian UAE Add Hardfile option lacks some of the UI as WinUAE such as the button Full drive/RDB mode. Not sure if this makes any difference or not. But when I add a Hardfile in the same way, following these instructions here: [ Show youtube player ] Clicking the Read Configuration button on the Amiga results in an "Drive does not support the SCSI inquiry command" Any idea what I need to do in order to get around this? Thanks for your help. |

What are you trying to achieve? A fully emulated amiga experience, or just the games?
Personally, I use retropie with amiberry installed and launch games directly from lha. A full install of workbench is no longer needed for whdload games. As for configuration, the options are there but not much advanced stuff can be configured with the GUI. Most options from winuae can be used, so you should be able to create a uae file on windows and use that. You may need to play around with the hard disk type option in the config file: hard_drive_0_type = RDB (or similar, I can't remember the exact syntax right now). Alternatively, you can just use a folder as the hard drive instead of a file type of a hard disk and not have to mess around with changing types of drives. |

Although thinking on it, I did change the line on HDToolsBox from SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=scsi.device to SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=uaehf.device As this worked on Windows, but seems to give the error I reported on Amibian. |

Assuming it uses normal UAE config files, try setting all geometry values to zero manually. It should enable rdb mode (if it is supported).

Once you have retropie set up, follow the guide on the amiberry github page, it should be fairly straightforward: https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/w...tion-and-Setup |
