[EMULATION] Amiga4Recalbox v0.8999999999, install in one click (or so)

[benjo2000]

Hi, first of all, thank you for this great enhancement, you filled the only gap in recalbox.
I've managed to get amiga4recalbox running with the help of the instructions in readme.md. Unfortunately, all the games i've tried so far (not much, to be honest) are running a bit too fast with crackling sound. I've tried several settings (cpu type, cpu speed, JIT, ...) in the uae menu but couldn't see any difference.

Games i've tried: Sensible Soccer (adf and WHLD), Bobo (adf), Speedball 2 (adf), Shadow of the Beast (adf)

Systems/Kickstarts: 13 (600) and 31 (1200)

My System: RPi2, latest stable Recalbox, latest Amiga4Recalbox (pulled from GitHub yesterday)

If someone has an idea what could be the cause for this, this would be great. If you need more information, let me know.
Thanks for your help!

@benjo2000 Did you put your games in the "Amiga 1200" system ? If yes for the ones that are too fast try to put them on the "Amiga 600" system.Some games (like twinworld for example) has some cracking sounds but when I put the game in the Amiga 600 folder its fine:)

[mrseguin]

By the way do we need absolutely to erase the .info of the whdload game unzipped ? Can't we not just rename it with the uae extension ?Will be easier to just rename all with a program like antrenammer.....

@mrseguin You can do that but I wouldn't recommand it too much.

And you can use the genUae script to generate your uae files

@voljega said in [EMULATION] Amiga4Recalbox v0.8999999999, install in one click (or so):

genUae

Euh ca connait pas:( ou on le trouve ce script et comment ca marche?

[benjo2000]

@mrseguin I tried all my games with in A600 folder and Sensible Soccer WHDL with A1200. I generated the uae file with the mentioned script. This was way too fast, unplayable. With A600 kickstart, it's playable, only a bit too fast (Compared it with my original A1200 and my copies of Sensible / Shadow of the beast). I'll try the game you mentioned, when i can find it. Do you know any other game which is working fine?
And does someone give me a hint where i can find the syntax and list of possible options/values for uae settings files? Searched for it, but couldn't find it.
Thanks

@benjo2000 check the two files in /recalbox/share/emulateurs which are good examples.

I wouldn't recommend to modify them too much, your problem clearly lies somewhere else, I have tested more than thousands games and I didn't have the issues you mentioned I think, only with a few games and they were all resolved by playng them with a600 instead of a1200

[benjo2000]

@voljega
I just tested my games on an dietpi+amiberry installation. everything is working fine there. Strange. I'm thankful for every idea that could help me getting amiga emulation to work on recalbox. Maybe i'll do a complete reinstallation of recalbox and your plugin around the holydays.

[mrseguin]

@benjo2000 Is it maybe a problem with the Pi2 ? If someone has a Pi2 and installed amiga4recalbox would it been nice to hear from.Anyway always doublecheck the bios crc and naming.I know we can overclocked the pi3 and the 2 maybe.So if your pi is overclocked maybe it can interfere with amiga for recalbox(just a suposition of an ignorant...).As Voljega said I think the problem is somewhere else....

[voljega]

@benjo2000 strange indeed ! Anyway it is true that amiberry is lacking for now cycle exact emulation so these problems can happen I guess

It is not the pi2 I tested a lot on it ....

[mrseguin]

@voljega nice to know its not related to pi2 No cycle exact ah .From my recollection for some games its mandatory

Great stuff.

I install lastest version Amiga4Recalbox compatible with recalbox 4.1 2017.12.02 but I can't run on my raspberry pi 2
I try coping all the neccesary BIOS files in /recalbox/share/bios and /recalbox/share/bios/amiga but when I select a game always returns to menu (some of them ran in previous version of your addon for recalbox 4.1 beta).

Log:
/recalbox/share/system/logs/es_launch_stderr.log
Traceback (most recent call last):

[voljega]

@pillabichos unless you don't have any controller connected, I don't know how to resolve that

[pillabichos]

@voljega I connect a joystick and runs ok!
In previous versions I can use just the keyboard ???

[voljega]

@pillabichos you mean in the old batch version ?

Hi Voljega,

i puted 5 roms checked with MD5 like on GitHub written in the folder /recalbox/share/bios
but nothing changed. I klick on one adf file Blues Brothers, California Games but after the screen is getting dark and the sound stoped everything comes back to the main menu...
Is there something special I have to check in the settings? Am I have to reinstall everything?
I only want to play Amiga games right now so I don´t have any other roms for the other systems.. should I check and try?

[voljega]

@marco-rizzo-scheible No nothing special to check, if you installed through the script...

Do you have a controller connected and configured through EmulationStation when launching the game ?

[Marco Rizzo-Scheible]

right now I use the keyboard.. I think i have configured a PS3 Controller

[voljega]

@marco-rizzo-scheible try with controller connected
