Solved Amiga on Recalbox PC / USB
-
Hello, I have been searching the Forum, did find a few other people with a similar problem, but no solution:
trying to run Amiga Games on Recalbox 6.1.1 on my PC via USB Stick.
Two USB Sticks, one for the Recalbox-Boot-Program and another one for all the Bios and ROMs.
So far, all Systems are running, Emulation of Amstrad, SNES etc no problem.
BUT: Amiga600 Games ONLY start when using adf (= Disk) Files. LHA Files won't start - they show up in the list but I get kicked back to the menu screen as soon as I try to start a game.
Are LHA Files maybe only working on raspberry?
All the Bios and Roms are named correctly, MD5 checked and in the right directory.
Any idea what else I could try out?
Thanks very much in advance! -
@Juvava hi
all my .lha packed whdl roms work fine.
Are all your bioses ok ? Are you sure that your .lha roms are ok ? -
@Scavy Thanks for your answer and offer to help.
Thing is, I can't check my Bios with Recalbox Manager, as I don't get a Wlan connection...
But I am 99% sure, that they are all ok - I checked all the MD5's...
Only possibility is that I am missing one particular ROM that is needed for LHA.
But why would afd work then?
Strange and a bit frustrating. -
are there any messages in the recalbox log?
use this command right after trying to launch a gametail /recalbox/share/system/logs/recalbox.log
And also
tail /recalbox/share/system/logs/es_launch_stderr.log

puae does support .lha on pc (as amiberry is only available on rpi), but I haven't had the time to test it in the latest version (available on the next release). On 6.1.1 I believe it is a bit more complex to make it work... some stuff has been changed on the core lately which should make everything a bit simpler. You I'd just wait for the next release.

@paradadf said in Amiga on Recalbox PC / USB:
puae does support .lha on pc
@Zaphod woouups, i had in mind you were on a Pi, and you are on a PC, so it's normal as paradadf says...
-
@paradadf Just to make it clear for me: you are saying that it could be the case that lha on PC does not work with 6.1.1?
That's ok with me, at least I know I don't have to look any further.
Hopefully the problem will get solved in a new release.
Thanks! -
@Juvava RCB uses P-uae on PC x64, and uses Amiberry (default emultor) on RPI3.
P-uae does not support .lha, Amiberry supports this format. -
@Scavy Thanks Mate, that helps a lot. Would have saved me hours, had I found out in advance
