Because there were so many different Amiga systems released, and different software versions over the years, games aren’t fully compatible with just one Kickstart file. The main hurdle in getting Amiga games to work is properly configuring the BIOS (“Kickstart”) files. So my recommendation is to try the default emulator on your device, then switch to another one if you’re having issues with a particular game. I didn’t test it personally but I have heard that it has good performance, too. Setting your default emulator to PUAE in ArkOS is very easy, and I show you how to do that in the video above.Īdditionally, 351ELEC has support for the standalone uae4arm core, which plays both Amiga 500 and CD32 games. That being said Amiberry tends to load games more quickly than the PUAE core. ArkOS FAQ pageĪlso bear in mind that PUAE will suffer the same graphical issues as other RetroArch cores, so be sure to enable RGA scaling ( more info here) to smooth out the text. This will save this configuration as the default configuration for that particular game when it’s loaded. Then hit left and scroll up to configuration.Ħ Hit right and scroll down to the Save button and hit the A button. Set Port 1 to Mouse and leave Default as defaultĥ. Hit right and set Port 0 to OpenSimHardware OSH PB Controller and change Default to MouseĤ. On the left side of the screen, scroll down to Input.ģ. Launch a game then go to the Amiberry Menu by pressing Select + XĢ. If you need to be able to use a mouse for a particular game, do the following:ġ. To set mouse functions using Amiberry, here is the note from the ArkOS developer: You may need to switch between emulators for certain games for example, Amiberry doesn’t have mouse controls configured, but the PUAE RetroArch core does.
In general, I have found that the PUAE RetroArch core has greater flexibility and performance with running Amiga 500 games, especially because you have easy access to RetroArch settings (like for button mapping, for example). Amiberry doesn’t support CD32 games, so the PUAE Amiga RetroArch core is used instead. FirmwareĪmiberry is a standalone Amiga emulator, and is the default emulator for Amiga 500 games on the stock and ArkOS firmwares. I’ll try to keep this as a standard guide to get you started with each firmware’s default emulators, but you are welcome to try the different emulators that are available for each firmware.
The Amiga 500 came out in the late 1980s as a competitor to the Atari ST, while the CD32 was a CD-based system in the early 1990s with improved graphics and sound.īecause things are never simple, you’ll have to bear in mind that there are multiple firmwares available for the RG351 devices and they each have multiple ways of playing Amiga games.
