      I use VICE and it works nicely but it must be setup a lot to have a true fullscreen, no tearing result.

      Thanks for replying. How do you do that ^^? Also through GPIO solution?

      I had a feeling that maybe resolution from Vice is 384x271 (overscan) since it goes outside the screen, despite my hdmi timings being set to 320x240
      Could you advise how would I calculate hdmi timings for this (384) resolution? I saw your python script somewhere but not quite sure how to use it.

        I use RGB thru GPIO only.
        For Commodore Amiga 500/1200/CD32 50Hz i use :
        1920 282 49.920410 -10 6 11 48 192 240 5 15625 (for generating hdmitimings with my script)
        With configfile (.UAE) :
        gfx_width=704
        gfx_height=282
        gfx_width_windowed=704
        gfx_height_windowed=282
        gfx_width_fullscreen=704
        gfx_height_fullscreen=282
        (Only 2 lines are needed but can't remember wich)

        For Commodore 64 50Hz(Vice - Combian 64 edition) i use :
        hdmi_timings 336 1 10 18 46 288 1 5 6 6 0 0 0 50 0 6400000 1
        (so, 336x288)

        My hdmi timings generator only works with RGB/GPIO.

          Yes only the first two gfx lines are needed 🙂

            D**n...I was hoping it would work, but still no luck. Thanks though!
            May I ask what settings in Video in Vice do you use? I mean: Size Settings/ Fullscreen Mode/Custom Res/Res limit mode/Open GL
            Also, the Border: Full, Normal or None?

            My hdmi timings generator only works with RGB/GPIO.

            I use pi2scart, do you think it may require different settings from your setup? Also, I use Retropie...maybe the difference is in that Vice Combian 64 edition? I'm downloading it now, will try later.

              Thanks @voljega 🙂

              Sorry, it's an Amiga thread.

              Have a look to this C64 screens grabbed from my CRT
              Scanlines perfect (1920x288), 50fps perfect sync.

                Does AmigaCD32 addon run in new recalbox 4.1 stable?

                I ran this in beta but I can't in new stable version.

                  cOOL !
                  I also just install CD32 Emulation.
                  Is there a chance that this is part as one of the next Recalbox release ?

                    @dragu yes it should be sooner or later, but amiberry has a better support of a500/a1200 than cd32 for now

                      @dragu As @voljega made the hard part for configgen, we'll take a look sooner or later. Still got 1 bugfix release of 4.1 coming shortly, got some major internal work to do nefore adding new packages, then i'll go into amiga. I'm just now quite disappointed with 2 points :

                      • Amiberry is SDL1 for now ... It's more than time to move on to SDL2
                      • Amiberry is raspberry only (or am i wrong ?), leaving odroids and x86* on the side

                      Former dev - Please reply with @substring so that i am notified when you answer me
                      Ex dev - Merci de me répondre en utilisant @substring pour que je sois notifé

                        @substring yeah the second point is the more bothering clearly, but they're willing to make a version for odroid, for x86, not that much apparently or not in a near future :
                        https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues/143
                        https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues/131

                        And they are still working SDL2 version, but it looks like it will be released later than sooner 😉

                          Hello everybody and many thanks for this tuto. I'll try it ASAP. Can you tell me which version of cd32_base.rom and cd32_ext.rom I need (version # or CRC) ?
                          Thanks !

                                I tracked all the posts in this thread, made everything with the instructions, I even converted my cue/imgs to isos and made new cues for them, but still when I try to load something it always throw me back to recalbox. I edited start.th, made all the changes... It still doesn't work at all. Am I missing something?

                                Always read readme.txt 🙂

                                Official relased games work now (I mean that one that are .cue/.iso "originally" downloaded. Unofficial "collections" converted from .cue/.img to iso and with manual made .cues doesn't work for me. But I can now play Banshee! Thanks Ratte!

                                  @ejr It doesn't seem that Ratte is supporting his version too much anymore, and I can't help you with it.

                                  You can try mine if you want, but it doesn't support CD32, only Amiga 500/1200

                                    @voljega I have read Your whdload thread many times, I have huge collection of the whdloads in WinUAE, but I was afraid how it can be complicated in Recalbox (because of the policy to be user-friendly - I know - paradox). Its easy under WinUAE but it seems to be too complicated in Recalbox. ...or maybe I'm wrong?

                                      What I used, because seems that there are different versions
                                      Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom
                                      and
                                      CD32 Extended-ROM rev 40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom
                                      and after renaming to cd32_base.rom and cd32_ext.rom

                                        @dragu I used the same roms, like I wrote before - dumped originals (single games in cue/iso format) works. Unofficial compilations (200 Games for CD32 or CD32-444) doesn't work for me, maybe because I obtained those in cue/img format and made a mistake in converting those to cue/iso? Maybe someone knows how to do it properly?

                                          In the Amiga hardware description they write
                                          The CD32 features a double speed (330 kB/sec) top-loading CD-ROM drive. The supported CD formats are ISO-9660 CD-ROM, Audio CD, CD+G.
                                          With the addition of the FMV module CD-i Digital Video and Video CDs can be played.
                                          Perhaps you must just create the 9660 type of ISO ?

                                            @ejr my solution is pretty easy to use for whdload if you follow the instructions (just copy the whdload folder of the game and rename a standard uae with the name of the folder alongside it and that's it) and it will be even easier in the final version.
