Fs-Uae with Attract mode, Retropie on Ubuntu help.

[yelever]

Got most emulators running on attract mode.  Using fs-uae for amiga whd games through retropie on ubuntu .  I have whdload files for my games and have scanned them through fs-uae launcher and can start them no problem but when I go to run them through attract mode I just get the workbench hand screen like there's no disk in the emulator and it only sees the uae config file but doesn't load the game.  I was thinking maybe I need to point attract mode to fs-uae launcher instead of the standard runcommand.sh.  Would that automatically run the games through attract mode using fs-uae?

Does it work properly in EmulationStation?

Post your /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg and your ~/.attract/emulators/fs-uae.cfg files.

[yelever]

Does the same in emulationstation.  Yes I know my directory paths are different as I have all my roms on a different drive and copied the amiga whdload games over just to make sure for emulationstation.  I think I have to point the executable to fs-uae launcher to get the games to work instead of the standard runcommand.sh.

Do you have the BIOS files installed in the correct location?

What type of files are your roms: .zip, .uae, etc.?

Post your /opt/retropie/configs/all/amiga/emulator.cfg file.

[yelever]

I have the bios files and using uae files along with the corresponding whdload files.  Everything works with fs-uae launcher but through attract mode it just boots no game is loaded.

default = "fs-uae"
fs-uae = "bash /opt/retropie/emulators/fs-uae/bin/fs-uae.sh %ROM%"

[progets]

What's the content of the /opt/retropie/emulators/fs-uae/bin/fs-uae.sh?

Also, what version of Ubuntu are you running?

Have you enable the WHDLoad feature of FS-UAE as described here https://fs-uae.net/whdload-support?

[yelever]

Yes as I can run the games through the launcher

Yes as I can run the games through the launcher

Provide an example of how you running them through the launcher. Are you clicking on an icon on the desktop or launching from the command line? Basically you need to figure out the correct command line syntax so it can be placed in the AM emulator.cfg file.

[yelever]

Running launcher from a desktop icon.

[progets]

What file is does the icon run?

[yelever]

All I could find is this command by right  clicking the icon and properties

fs-uae-launcher %f

[progets]

Ok, fs-uae-launcher is going to be the executable that you'll use.

Run fs-uae-launcher and create a configuration file for one of your games. Name it the same as the game but with the .fs-uae file extension.

Go to the terminal and type "fs-uae-launcher <your-game-name>.fs-uae" and see if your game runs.

I just get this

bash: Xenon 2 (2 Disk): No such file or directory
