It wouldn't be a bad idea to copy the entire contents, including configurations and theme, and make a fresh system. And install all the emulators. For starters, I would try copying the contents of the boot partition before expanding the partition and then overwriting. The two sensitive files tend to be fixup4.dat and start4.elf.

I've just installed this in my arcade cabinet and it's such a great image. Thanks for building it. In case you still check the comments here I have one question: since I use joysticks on my cabinet I can't get some Amiga games to work which need a mouse such as Lemmings or Populous. Is there a way to tell these games that I want my joystick to move the mouse pointer?
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad you like it. The mouse is assigned to analog sticks and real mouse. If you want to control the mouse, you have to build a track ball into your arcade cabinet. Or the way to go is to enter the Retroarch settings and set the digital arrows to mouse for certain games.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 Thanks for replying! I do have two PS2 style controllers also connected, and they have the two analog thumbsticks. However these thumbsticks don't move the mouse cursor in-game either. But they are working because they behave the same as the d-pad when navigating the interface, selecting games etc.). Do you have any advice for me to get the thumb sticks to work as mouse in-game? I appreciate you taking the time to reply!
@@robmatthews5924 Did you configure your joypad, or did you just plug it in? I originally made this for a PS4 controller, but if I do the input configuration, even the cheapest joypad with sticks works.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 I configured one of them, and didn't configure the second. They both behave the same. I've got an idea though. I'll reflash your image to my SD card so it's fresh. Then I'll start up the Pi without the joysticks connected, just the wireless controllers. Let's see what happens! Thanks for your help so far 👍
I'm having issues with this image. It seems it won't install into a regular 64gb sd card, both Pi Imager and Win32DiskImager say I need a bigger sd. How so? It's true W11 detects both cards I have as slightly less than 64 gb, but that's usually the case with all sd cards/usb drives. Any advice?
@@hachadorada I don't know what version you're downloading, if it's the "Only comps" version it can be combined with the content from the 64 GB version 1.1, but you'll have to do it via Linux. The Amiga content is the same, it's the other platforms content that's different. As I wrote the 64 GB version 1.1 should be able to be written to any SD card with no problem. (I recommend Samsung btw)
Hey. Hey. I have no experience with this unfortunately, but I found this video that might help:ruclips.net/video/1eOFcYNfQMo/видео.html The guy in the video enters mode 3 for rotation, you have to enter mode 2. Also these instructions should help: Step 1 - Edit Config.txt Start by editing the config.txt file ether via the sd or with: sudo nano /boot/config.txt Add one of the following lines to the bottom of the file : display_rotate=0 display_rotate=1 display_rotate=2 display_rotate=3 0 is the normal configuration. 1 is 90 degrees. 2 is 180 degress. 3 is 270 degrees.
I can't seem to unzip the complete image file out of all the zipfiles. Dunno if I'm doing something wrong? First I tried renaming all the files, removing the numbering at the end of the files (001...014), leaving the .zip at the end. Now when I try to unrar the first file (001), I get the "unexpected end of archive" notice, other files won't even open in winrar and result in a "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged" notice. Can this be fixed on my end?
The zip was somehow corrupted, so I made a new link, but it's a whole file: www.dropbox.com/t/ZSIc5BgJXnHX013o Eventually there will be a torrent. Good luck.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 got it to work today, cheers! Is looking great :) . A 64 gb card didn't work, it was considered to small in balena etcher, so I ended up buying a 128 gb card which got the job done. Any chance you ever end up doing another solely Amiga image? But besides games also include demo's and perhaps utilities (like trackers and/or visual software). Would be cool to use a PI400 for protracker! Thanks for the hard work anyway!
@@plugexpert Thanks a lot. I'm glad it's finally working. I'll be releasing a version soon that will have the flaws fixed and fit on a smaller card, I'm also planning on releasing a standalone Amiga again. There's already an older 32GB version. I'd like to add a demos and Workbench too, but no these are better masters like the PiMiga project, or Paul Vince's AGS.
Does this support something like the Monster Joysticks Deluxe Arcade Controller Kit for Raspberry Pi, which connects with GPIO and uses /is compatible with SNESDEV drivers?
Hi, this looks like a great image. Im new to this, so probably a silly question, but how do you get this up and running?

Hi Tomás, which version of RetroPie is the image based on? I just bought a new Raspberry Pi 4 B (board version 1.5) and I'm getting an error on the boot screen: "start4.elf is not compatible. This board requires newer software". It seems this might be because a newer version of Raspberry Pi OS is required, but as far as I can tell it should be fixed in RetroPie 4.8 or maybe earlier.
Hello.) It's based on an older version, people with newer models have a problem with it. Usually this is solved by replacing files on the boot partition: fixup4.dat and start4.elf. . In my older version of Tomato Amiga Retropie 1.0 these files are already there. In the newer version 1.1 they are not. Here is the download link: www.dropbox.com/t/Fn22eaLnQ8LNoGDr
Noob question here, does this work on the steam deck? Been trying to get Amiga games working for a while now, no luck. Have used Amiga games selector 2 on other devices before, but had no luck with that on the steam deck either.
This doesn't work on Steamdeck, but I'm working on a version for Retrobat for PC, which might work on Streamdeck. By the way, I saw that they ran AGS on Streamdeck and mobile. It's not hard to do. Usually there is a problem with paths and kicckstarts. Just specify the correct HDF path in the *.uae" configuration file. Then change the emulator of Emulation station DE to Winuae, which works better for AGS. Winuae is not part of ES-DE, it has to be downloaded.
n00b question perhaps, but is there a way to password protect all configuration options? So if I ever set up a pi400 with this image at a family party, impatient button mashing can't potentially ruin the original settings? :)
Hi:) That's a good question in the settings is called Kiosk mode. Which is the mode for these occasions. Then again it has to be unlocked with a certain key combination. retropie.org.uk/docs/Child-friendly-EmulationStation/#ui-modes
Hi.) There are basic instructions in the description on the RUclips video below. It depends on what kind of joypad you have and if you configured the home button like on PS4, if so Exit is "Home button" + "Option"(select). If you don't and you have another regular controller Exit is "Start" + "Select".
Hi Tomas, awesome work thank you. FYI Some of the ScummVM games are a little broken, eg Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis doesn't work, saying "could not find any engine capable of running the selected game". The other indy shows a small picture but you can mitigate that by selecting openGL. Any idea how we fix fate of atlantis?
OKAY. Here's a quick fix: when the error appears, click OK. Then select "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (CD DOS)" from the list. and click "Remove Game". Then "Add Game", find the game "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (CD DOS)" in the list. Confirm "Choose", then click "Start". And that's it :) I also discovered that the game Loom doesn't work, just missing the game directory, here is the download link: www.dropbox.com/t/VdBjFFQ1B1DWuPyP Extract the archive and the folder "Loom (CD DOS VGA)" copy it into the folder: \\Retropie oms\scummvm\ Enjoy!:)
Thanks! I downloaded and installed v1.1. I see menus but not games ("0 games available"), even though i can see all the roms in the /roms folder on the pi4... any suggestions?
Unfortunately this version doesn't work on Rpi3b+, but I would like to do one more update and then move on to Rpi5. Right now I'm making a version for Retrobat on PC. It might be nice to stick a flash drive in the PC during a break at work and play Space taxi or Worms:)
Can confirm it doesn’t work on a Pi3. But can the new games be copied over to the previous Pi3 version? Guessing it would struggle with PSP, etc…but the Amiga games?
Can someone please help me and explain how to start the arcade game "COMMANDO"? It stops at the screen where it explains the keys, makes me insert the coins to play, then, even if I press START as indicated, nothing happens. Obviously I also pressed key combinations, but the game still doesn't start. If anyone has tried it, I would be grateful if you could tell me how to get it started, thank you very much :)
Hi, when i try to boot this image on my pi4b it says start4.elf not compatible. this board is not compatible. I'm wondering does that mean you made this image on older hardware, or that you had older firmware from oct. 2020? Both Amiga images of yours gives the same error on boot.
Yeah. I know about that, take this quick patch: www.dropbox.com/t/hqy5mkXkIweWIkGD And overwrite those files on the boot partition of the SD card, you can do that on a PC. I didn't put it in right away because it was acting up. So if anyone has a problem, just download this fix.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 didn't work. i tried the files listed on github too.. doesn't work. had to update the start.elf file too. This rasp pi stuff is irritating. I can't get any wolfanoz images to work either. It's a pi4b, 1 year old.. firmware updated.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to copy the entire contents, including configurations and theme, and make a fresh system. And install all the emulators. For starters, I would try copying the contents of the boot partition before expanding the partition and then overwriting. The two sensitive files tend to be fixup4.dat and start4.elf.
Tomas, this is wonderful, thank you.

Switch the hdmi to the other one.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 switch which hdmi? Wait...I'm confused 🤔
@@superduperman7202 I was just wondering what the second HDMI output shows. Forget it. Does it say something about an error message?
Have you had any other images on that card before you wrote a new one without reformatting?
Also, maybe you have a newer motherboard and need the boot files, which is also in there somewhere under the link.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 I get the retropie command screen. I did get instructed to change the password, which i did. I get background music too for some reason. It doesn't go any further than that. I left it for 30 minutes. I can use commands to get into setup menus but I cannot see any issues. I have used this card before. I wiped it with SD formatter and write the image with win32diskimager.

@@superduperman7202 Maybe try a different SD card. When I've tried other people's images, it's been a problem at times.
I've just installed this in my arcade cabinet and it's such a great image. Thanks for building it. In case you still check the comments here I have one question: since I use joysticks on my cabinet I can't get some Amiga games to work which need a mouse such as Lemmings or Populous. Is there a way to tell these games that I want my joystick to move the mouse pointer?
Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad you like it. The mouse is assigned to analog sticks and real mouse. If you want to control the mouse, you have to build a track ball into your arcade cabinet. Or the way to go is to enter the Retroarch settings and set the digital arrows to mouse for certain games.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 Thanks for replying! I do have two PS2 style controllers also connected, and they have the two analog thumbsticks. However these thumbsticks don't move the mouse cursor in-game either. But they are working because they behave the same as the d-pad when navigating the interface, selecting games etc.). Do you have any advice for me to get the thumb sticks to work as mouse in-game? I appreciate you taking the time to reply!
The system recognises the two PS2 controllers as 'Microsoft Xbox 360 controller'
@@robmatthews5924 Did you configure your joypad, or did you just plug it in? I originally made this for a PS4 controller, but if I do the input configuration, even the cheapest joypad with sticks works.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 I configured one of them, and didn't configure the second. They both behave the same. I've got an idea though. I'll reflash your image to my SD card so it's fresh. Then I'll start up the Pi without the joysticks connected, just the wireless controllers. Let's see what happens! Thanks for your help so far 👍
I'm having issues with this image. It seems it won't install into a regular 64gb sd card, both Pi Imager and Win32DiskImager say I need a bigger sd. How so? It's true W11 detects both cards I have as slightly less than 64 gb, but that's usually the case with all sd cards/usb drives.
Any advice?
@@hachadorada Hi. It's filled to thé celling. Download version 1.1, fits on the 64gb SD card better. Or use 128 gb card.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 thanks, I'm now downloading the 32 gb version. I wonder if I can copy the additional amiga roms from this release into it later.
@@hachadorada I don't know what version you're downloading, if it's the "Only comps" version it can be combined with the content from the 64 GB version 1.1, but you'll have to do it via Linux. The Amiga content is the same, it's the other platforms content that's different. As I wrote the 64 GB version 1.1 should be able to be written to any SD card with no problem. (I recommend Samsung btw)

My Own.
Nice! Thank you so much.
Wonderful!How can I rotate upside down the screen?
Hey. Hey. I have no experience with this unfortunately, but I found this video that might help:ruclips.net/video/1eOFcYNfQMo/видео.html
The guy in the video enters mode 3 for rotation, you have to enter mode 2.
Also these instructions should help:
Step 1 - Edit Config.txt
Start by editing the config.txt file ether via the sd or with:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add one of the following lines to the bottom of the file :
display_rotate=0
display_rotate=1
display_rotate=2
display_rotate=3
0 is the normal configuration. 1 is 90 degrees. 2 is 180 degress. 3 is 270 degrees.
When pi5 version? ;) BTW great compilation! ❤
Thanks, buddy. I'm thinking about it.
I can't seem to unzip the complete image file out of all the zipfiles. Dunno if I'm doing something wrong? First I tried renaming all the files, removing the numbering at the end of the files (001...014), leaving the .zip at the end. Now when I try to unrar the first file (001), I get the "unexpected end of archive" notice, other files won't even open in winrar and result in a "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged" notice. Can this be fixed on my end?
The zip was somehow corrupted, so I made a new link, but it's a whole file:

Eventually there will be a torrent.
Good luck.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 got it to work today, cheers! Is looking great :) .
A 64 gb card didn't work, it was considered to small in balena etcher, so I ended up buying a 128 gb card which got the job done. Any chance you ever end up doing another solely Amiga image? But besides games also include demo's and perhaps utilities (like trackers and/or visual software). Would be cool to use a PI400 for protracker! Thanks for the hard work anyway!
@@plugexpert Thanks a lot. I'm glad it's finally working. I'll be releasing a version soon that will have the flaws fixed and fit on a smaller card, I'm also planning on releasing a standalone Amiga again. There's already an older 32GB version. I'd like to add a demos and Workbench too, but no these are better masters like the PiMiga project, or Paul Vince's AGS.
Does this support something like the Monster Joysticks Deluxe Arcade Controller Kit for Raspberry Pi, which connects with GPIO and uses /is compatible with SNESDEV drivers?
I don't know, I don't have it, I've never tried it.

@@samuelbanya If you mean the Retrobat version, I'm just finishing it up. I also wanted to do a Batocera version, but this seems more practical.
Hi Tomás, which version of RetroPie is the image based on? I just bought a new Raspberry Pi 4 B (board version 1.5) and I'm getting an error on the boot screen: "start4.elf is not compatible. This board requires newer software". It seems this might be because a newer version of Raspberry Pi OS is required, but as far as I can tell it should be fixed in RetroPie 4.8 or maybe earlier.
Hello.) It's based on an older version, people with newer models have a problem with it. Usually this is solved by replacing files on the boot partition: fixup4.dat and start4.elf. . In my older version of Tomato Amiga Retropie 1.0 these files are already there. In the newer version 1.1 they are not.
Here is the download link:

Noob question here, does this work on the steam deck? Been trying to get Amiga games working for a while now, no luck. Have used Amiga games selector 2 on other devices before, but had no luck with that on the steam deck either.
This doesn't work on Steamdeck, but I'm working on a version for Retrobat for PC, which might work on Streamdeck. By the way, I saw that they ran AGS on Streamdeck and mobile. It's not hard to do. Usually there is a problem with paths and kicckstarts. Just specify the correct HDF path in the *.uae" configuration file. Then change the emulator of Emulation station DE to Winuae, which works better for AGS. Winuae is not part of ES-DE, it has to be downloaded.
@@tomaskonvicka4135 thanks very much. I'll give it a try 👍
n00b question perhaps, but is there a way to password protect all configuration options? So if I ever set up a pi400 with this image at a family party, impatient button mashing can't potentially ruin the original settings? :)
Hi:) That's a good question in the settings is called Kiosk mode. Which is the mode for these occasions. Then again it has to be unlocked with a certain key combination.

Try changing the hdmi video output. Even if one is showing something, the system may work on the other.
thanks for this, its great, how do i exit games? sorry but im new to Retropie, i cant exit a game without pulling the power lead out!
Hi.) There are basic instructions in the description on the RUclips video below. It depends on what kind of joypad you have and if you configured the home button like on PS4, if so Exit is "Home button" + "Option"(select). If you don't and you have another regular controller Exit is "Start" + "Select".
Hi Tomas, awesome work thank you. FYI Some of the ScummVM games are a little broken, eg Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis doesn't work, saying "could not find any engine capable of running the selected game". The other indy shows a small picture but you can mitigate that by selecting openGL. Any idea how we fix fate of atlantis?
Thanks for the information, I'll check it out.
OKAY. Here's a quick fix:
when the error appears, click OK.
Then select "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (CD DOS)" from the list.
and click "Remove Game".
Then "Add Game", find the game "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (CD DOS)" in the list.
Confirm "Choose", then click "Start". And that's it :)
I also discovered that the game Loom doesn't work, just missing the game directory, here is the download link:

Can confirm it doesn’t work on a Pi3. But can the new games be copied over to the previous Pi3 version? Guessing it would struggle with PSP, etc…but the Amiga games?

Hi, when i try to boot this image on my pi4b it says start4.elf not compatible. this board is not compatible. I'm wondering does that mean you made this image on older hardware, or that you had older firmware from oct. 2020? Both Amiga images of yours gives the same error on boot.
Yeah. I know about that, take this quick patch:

Hi.) You probably mean 2GB ram, I don't know that there is a 1GB version. It doesn't work, I did it for the 4GB version, but it can be worked around.
