Version 2.11 brings a lot of new features, bug fixes and improvements. Please check the
version history for the full details.

There are binaries provided for RPI3 and RPI2 platforms, in both SDL1 and SDL2 flavors.
The are provided in both TGZ and ZIP format, for convenience (the contents are identical).
Please note that the SDL2 versions require that you have SDL2 installed in your system, as per the Wiki instructions.

Which version should I choose?

There are multiple versions available in an attempt to get the best possible performance out of your system:

  • If you're running Jessie and you are using the Legacy video driver (e.g. RetroPie): Use the Jessie SDL1 + Dispmanx version.
  • If you're running Stretch and you are using the Legacy video driver: Use the SDL1 + Dispmanx version
  • If you're running Stretch and you are using the FKMS video driver (and have SDL2 compiled): Use the SDL2 + Dispmanx version

For the other supported targets, you'll have to compile them from source for now.

Requirements

  • You have to provide your own Amiga Kickstart ROMs. You can use the encrypted Amiga Forever ones as well, if you include the "key.rom" file with them in the same directory.

  • Common required packages for all versions (use sudo apt-get install):

    libxml2-dev libflac-dev libmpg123-dev libpng-dev libmpeg2-4-dev

  • If you want to run the SDL1 version, you additionally need the following system packages (from a standard Jessie/Stretch system):

    libsdl-dev libguichan-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev

  • If you want to run the SDL2 version, you additionally need the SDL2, SDL2_ttf and SDL2_image packages compiled from source, as per the instructions in the relevant Wiki page.

Upgrading from earlier versions

Please note that in this version, there have been new additions and changes in the following areas:

  • Config files have new options and some options have been renamed for clarity. Older config files may or may not work correctly, depending on their content. If possible, we recommend you recreate them if you run into problems.
  • The adfdir.conf file which is normally auto-generated on the first run, has been updated to contain more information. We recommend you delete the file and allow Amiberry to recreate it, especially if you run into problems.
  • There are new files in the data/ subdirectory, which are required for the emulator to startup. Please make sure you copy those in the right place, if you're manually copying the binary over an existing installation.
