Right! This seems to be all go now. The Amiga version of Speedball 2 is so much better than megadrive. Thank you for your patience, Davpaz. More questions will follow. |

I use one of these on my PC and it is excellent. I got mine off ebay a while ago and I'm sure it only cost my 6 or 7 quid. Highly recommended. |

Retrospex do a N64-style USB controller that might be useful with those. |

Being able to play Alien Breed '92 again is very good. Looking forward bashing through it. Some amiga games don't work for no apparent reason, but hey ho. Great thing about Chaos Engine is the AI npc, I can give Big One a controller and she thinks we are playing together |

There was an Xbox game called Death Throw (maybe) that was a bit like Speedball 2. I liked it a lot. |

Supremacy on the Amiga is a brutal resource management game. It took over 2 hours to vanquish the easy level opponent. Lotus 2 seems rock hard. I cannot beat level one. Desert Strike has held up well. |

DP, many apologies if you already covered this upthread, but I'm thinking I might make a megabox for my brother, featuring a heady combination of Amiga games plus classics from the SNES and Megadrive, wotever else I can find. However, if I follow your amiga instructions, does my megabox have to be Amiga-only? |

Certainly not. The Retropie interface does dozens of systems. Popular consoles are much simpler to do than Amiga stuff. I reckon I've covered that upthread. |

I took a disk image of my pie, put it on a second card and gave it to someone. I tried a few games on their pie and all was fine. My Sensi Soccer works, but theirs does not. It just shows the hand holding disk amiga screen. Any ideas? |

Brace yourselves, idiot coming through. I have embarked on this. I've got as far as getting the Retropie image onto the pi. However, when I tried to add the Amiberry package I did so without it being connected to the internet. It did a bunch of stuff, ran a load of script, and now I don't know if I can just try and repeat the process with it connected to the internet this time, or if I need to conduct some remedial work first (I'm imagining I've basically fucked the foundations before I start building the house.) Is there any way to undo what I'd done with the Amiberry snafu, or is it unlikely to actually matter one jot and I should just manfully tussle with the machine and find out myself because that's we did before the internet. |
