thatman84 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Good you are progressing. As its been a while I started to build a new setup for uae4arm from scratch. 1st stop was amiga forever plus pack..got to test those kicks out as there was comments that they dont work with uae4arm which would suck but needs confirming. Also refreshed my memory on the config maker using python aswell. I think that project could still be valid. The more people that submit uae file changes to Horaceandthespider (Dom Creswell) the better that resource will become. He did add some android paths switching and there is ability to run it with custom paths afaik. Not yet moved everything over to the shield as transfering the existing data to laptop for backup errored out. Run out of internet handles! Hopefully i will get that sorted and then reinstall uae4arm and start fesh. Will be a while until im loading games again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouteur Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hi guys.

sanchezmike01 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 So someone successfully launched cd32 from the wheel finally?....i still haven't started on cd32 yet...currently changing my game plan and going thru each wheel 1by1 making sure everything is good....currently working on super famicom and that project will take about a week 2 complete...basically making 3d boxart for the games to fill up empty space on the right of the default theme....after that I am getting motivated to start back up on amiga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouteur Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks Honosuseri will try with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .uae files load and play fine in the emulator BUT not when I try launching them from the HyperSpin wheel. Odd, as it's basically the same method which is working for my Amiga 500/1200 Wheel. Launch intent has only recently been added so perhaps it needs more work? I am a "beta tester" for the uae4arm app so I should have the latest version. The CD32 only had about 10 games exclusive to it. I think I'll just make .uae files for those games, so I can load them to play. I need to finish making all the .uae files for my Amiga wheel, hopefully as the emulator matures I can use the CD32 .uae files with HyperSpin.

Pouteur Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ok did you add the cue and bin extension on your amiga cd32.ini for hyperspin, cause if you don't games won't start from your wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought HyperSpin only needs to see the .uae files, so it can load uae4arm with the preset we want for a particular game. I've added cue and bin now to the .ini, it makes no difference as I thought...uae4arm doesn't load the preset. Hopefully you can now at least emulate the system. Hopefully we can get these .uae files launched in the near future via HyperSpin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouteur Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ok, how do you change the path for system roms on uae4arm cause when i click on ... only folder i get are blankdisks, conf, data, savestates, screenshot, can't get storage/emulated/0/hyperspin/roms/amiga-data/ks-roms Edit, it's ok know just made a new installation of the apk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You needed to set the data installation location (I use SDcard Storage). Managed to get the CD32 games running in HyperSpin now. Will gradually add more when I have some spare time.

I recall having some CDTV games as WHDload, they will need testing with that Bootloader. Purists are going to want to use CD images I suppose. If I have any CDTV images I'll see if they play nice with the CD32 Kickstart. The CDTV was based on the A500 the CD32 the A1200, I think some of the CD games played on either system. I'll do my best to get "the trinity" working, then go back to fleshing out the three wheels with games when I have more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no worries, It seems to have spurred a few people to revisit the Amiga for their setups. The config maker looks great, I'm assuming it names the .uae after the WHDload game folder by default. I think they are renaming these folders (& so the .uae) to help online scrapers pickup what the game is. That's great but the .uae files won't match our database (& artwork) plus their WHDload collection is lacking to what I have...so I've resorted to doing things the hardway/manually. I'm getting overly tired so am starting to make silly mistakes...I do need a break. It's great to see people interested in the Amiga systems though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Sounds like solid reasoning. They also cut out all countries in their set also. i know we can't talk roms but my goal is not only get a noce Amiga set on my shield but to override the way for someone later down the road. I am aiming to put a solid guide together step by step, with database and artwork released here. but it seems it all needs to revolve around a romset. The current PC based sets are no good so the UA one seems the best option. otherwise it could still be unachievable for beginners to setup properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current PC based sets are no good so the UA one seems the best option. otherwise it could still be unachievable for beginners to setup properly That would be very helpful. We definitely should settle on a folder structure "standard" so a .uae set can be shared to help out others. If the "game romset" UA uses is ever changing that doesn't really help us. We don't need to scrape online for artwork we have our own already...which wants to be named the same as the Database. We will no doubt end up with a custom.xml which will be for our HyperSpin Android Amiga .uae & artwork collection So we need a "static game romset" we can say is highly compatible. I'm not suggesting we share it or link to it but we can name it surely? Plenty of people talk about "no-intro", "Tosec" etc etc. I think you're correct in that the traditional PC WHDload zip files are "no good", as I struggled using them with the UA Bootloader once extracted (in Workbench). I had another WHDload collection which is .lha instead of .zip which I extracted in windows...I had good results after testing a few (these were those CDTV games) with the Bootloader method. Considering the emulator itself is still in beta for us to do all this...I think we are doing well so far. Exciting stuff ahead no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Agreed let's see if we can work that out in this thread then maybe make a clean thread with reference to this one when the plan is sorted. I guess rompath and kickstart path controls games folders (I like the retropie setup) Games_WHDLoad etc then it's the naming and renaming to figure out once a reference romset/naming convention is decided also who do I talk to about the beta app. Mine doesn't have the QuickStart menu option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Basic info on kickstarts from the guides.

Can't remember how I signed up now, it was a similar process to when I signed up to Kodi. I'm sure you'll figure it out with our friend Google. That Quickstart feature was very recently added, saw it when I made those videos for you all. It only shows floppy drives to mount but you can mount folders or a CD image through the other menu options. I tried some CDTV images (Turrican and something else) they don't boot. They don't list support for CDTV so I'm not complaining, any game shared with the consoles would be covered by CD32 anway I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honosuseri Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 C'est mon plaisir! Tres bien mon ami You provided lots of help much earlier in the thread for Amiga via Retroarch. Although I never used your "assets" (as I wanted to use UAE4ARM), I was happy to assist you (& others) so we can get to the ultimate goal.

thatman84 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I got the beta app now. Still having a hell of a time understanding how to get this sorted simply though! Also getting zero time on the shield aa its the main TV. Wifey is hogging it lately. @Honosuseri did you have any ideas on a reference romset for config naming? My 1st step would be to create a spreadsheet for tracking tested games I understand with 2000+ games its going to be a long standing project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
