Amiberry
Amiberry is an optimised Amiga emulator for the Raspberry Pi and other ARM-based SoCs, that brings you the highest performance Amiga emulation. Be it a classic A500, A1200, CD32 or up to a high-end model equipped with a 68040 and a graphics card, we’ve got you covered.

This installation is possible due to a collaboration with Dimitris Panokostas (Amiberry) and Daniel Knight (DietPi).
- Keyboard + Mouse is highly recommended.
- We also offer a completely automated installation image for Amiberry. Please see: https://blitterstudio.com/amiberry/
- Direct download link: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/Die ... miberry.7z


First Run Setup

• Kickstarts (Amiga BIOS/boot system)
  Amiga kickstart ROM images are required to run the system(s) you want to emulate. These can not be bundled due to copyright restrictions.
  If you own the Amiga Forever product, you can legally download and use Kickstarts you are eligible for, from: https://www.amigaroms.net/
  NB: Kickstart 1.3 (A500-A2500-A3000-CDTV) is highly recommended to work with most games.
  Kickstarts need to be placed in /mnt/dietpi_userdata/amiberry/kickstarts
• Floppy disks (Amiga .adf images)
  Amiga's floppy disk images have a .adf file extension.
  You will need obtain at least one ADF image to start your Amiga experience.
  Load your ADF from or place them where every you want it, e.g. create and use: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/amiberry/floppy_images

Starting Amiberry

• Amiberry can be started by running systemctl start amiberry
• Optionally, you can enable Amiberry autostart to boot straight into the Amiga environment as fast as possible, with the least possible interference from Linux.
  Simply run dietpi-autostart and select Amiberry fast boot then reboot your system.
  If you face issues with the fast boot option or need to have other service starting up first, use Amiberry standard boot.

Create an Amiga configuration:
Once Amiberry is running, you will need to configure the emulator, to tell it which Amiga system to emulate.

• Select Quickstart (from the left hand side menu)
• Under Amiga model:, select the Amiga model you'd like to emulate (example A500)
• Under Config: select the additional options for the target Amiga model (if required)
• Click the Set configuration, button to apply changes.

Next you will need to setup the emulator for the Kickstart and Floppy disk image you wish to use:

• Select a Kickstart (ROM):
  • On the left hand side, select ROM.
  • Under Main ROM File:, click the browse button (3 dots) ...
  • Navigate to your Kickstarts directory /mnt/dietpi_userdata/amiberry/kickstarts
    NB: Amiberry does not currently support symlinks. If you have a dedicated USB drive installation, the location is: /mnt/uuid-of-drive/amiberry/kickstarts
  • Select a Kickstart (1.3 is recommended)
• Select a Floppy disk image (ADF):
  • On the left hand side, select Floppy drives.
  • Under DF0:, select the browse button the right hand side (3 dots) ...
  • Navigate to your Floppy image directory, e.g. /mnt/dietpi_userdata/amiberry/floppy_images
    NB: Amiberry does not currently support symlinks. If you have a dedicated USB drive installation, the location is: /mnt/uuid-of-drive/amiberry/floppy_images
  • Select the ROM you wish to use.

Enable Fullscreen output:

• On the left hand side, select Display.
• Ensure the Fullscreen option is enabled.

Optional: Set CPU speed to fastest (recommended)
This will emulate the Amiga as fast as possible, ensuring you get the maximum FPS for your SBC hardware.

• On the left hand side, select CPU and FPU.
• Under CPU Speed, select the fastest option.
• If you find this change slows down the emulation, try using the fixed value of 25MHz

Optional: Save configuration (recommended)
It is recommended to save your settings. This will ensure the settings are applied on next startup of Amiberry

• On the left hand side, select Configurations.
• Enter the name, e.g. autostart, then click Save

Good to GO!
When ready, select Start to launch the emulator. Have fun!

FAQ:

• How can I transfer Kickstarts & Floppy Images to the device?
  Make sure you have one of DietPi's File Servers installed.
  • Floppy Disk Image (.adf) directory as chosen before, e.g. /amiberry/floppy_images
  • Kickstarts (.rom) directory = /amiberry/kickstarts
• How can I open the configuration window once the emulator has started?
  The pre-defined key for that is F12.
• How can I reboot the Amiga emulation environment (Amiga reset)?
  Use Ctrl + Left Windows + Right Windows keys. If you don’t have a Right Windows key, try using the menu key instead.
• What are the default controls for Joystick, when using a Keyboard?
  When using a keyboard, the default joystick controls are:
  • Arrow Keys = Up/Down/Left/Right
  • Page Down = Fire/Button 1
  • Page Up= Fire/Button 2
• How can I improve performance (framerate)?
  A lower resolution may improve performance on most games. From the emulator main menu:
  • On the left hand side, select Display
  • 640x256 is high resolution
  • 320x256 is low resolution and should provide improved performance
  Overclocking your system will improve performance. Stability may vary across devices and overclocking is not officially supported:
  • From a terminal, run dietpi-config
  • Select the Performance Options menu
  • Select Overclocking Profiles
  • Select an overclocking profile, then reboot the system
• How do i set the floppy drive speed for compatibility?
  Floppy drive emulation is to set to "800%" by default. This reduces loading times by upto 8x. You can lower this to 100%, increasing compatibility:
  • On the left hand side, select Floppy Drives
  • Change the Floppy Drive Emulation Speed value to 100&
• Some games are not in full screen:
  Games run at various resolutions, from the emulator main menu:
  • On the left hand side, select Display
  • Change the Height value to 200 or 256
  • Press the Resume or Start button

Log System Choices:
Various logging method choices from lightweight to full.
If you don't require log files, get a performance boost. If you need full system logging features, DietPi can do that too.
Log System choices can be changed at any time by running dietpi-software and selecting "Log System" from the menu.

DietPi-Ramlog #1 (default):
Ideal for users who do not require log files.
+ Mounts /var/log to RAM.
+ Increases overall system performance.
+ Increases the life of your SDcard by reducing filesystem IO (read/writes).
+ DietPi will automatically clear log files in /var/log every hour (to free memory used by DietPi-Ramlog).
─ Log files are NOT saved to disk.
─ Rsyslog is not installed to save on resources. This may prevent some programs logging that rely on rsyslog. If required, it can be manually installed with apt-get install rsyslog

DietPi-Ramlog #2:
Ideal for users who require the ability to keep log files, with the benefit of improved performance.
+ Mounts /var/log to RAM.
+ Increases overall system performance.
+ DietPi will automatically save/update log file data to disk every hour /root/logfile_storage.
+ DietPi will then clear log files in /var/log (to free memory used by DietPi-Ramlog).
─ Potential of losing upto 1 hour of log file data if power is interrupted.
─ Will increase SD write cycles on an hour basis, to save logs (however, significantly less so than a constant log writing system, eg: Full logging mode): https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 58#p123670
─ Rsyslog is not installed to save on resources. This may prevent some programs logging that rely on rsyslog. If required, it can be manually installed with apt-get install rsyslog

Full (Rsyslog & Logrotate):
For users who require the maximum logging possible, with no interference from DietPi.
─ Mounts /var/log to DISK.
─ Decreases overall system performance
─ Reduces the life of your SDcard due to increased filesystem IO (read/write).
+ Comes with both rsyslog and logrotate installed as standard.
+ The "standard" of Linux logging systems, essential if your log file data is critical to system operation and/or maintenance.

Pi-hole Details:
Pi-hole is a DNS/Web server that will block ads for any device on your network.
- Also Installs: Webserver stack
Access Pi-hole web interface:
url = http://192.168.0.100/pihole

Web Interface: Login to view all options:
Once the web interface is loaded:

• Click Login on the left hand side of screen
• password = dietpi

Configure devices to route traffic through PiHole: Option 1 - Setup single devices to use the Pi-hole DNS server:
Simply change your DNS settings to use the IP address of your Pi-hole device. This will need to be done for each device that you want Pi-hole to work with.

Example:
- My Pi-hole device has the ip address of 192.168.0.100
- On my PC, i would set the DNS address to 192.168.0.100
- Tutorial The Ultimate Guide to Changing Your DNS settings.

Configure devices to route traffic through PiHole: Option 2 - Setup your router to use the Pi-hole DNS server:
This method will automatically point every device (that uses DHCP) on your network to Pi-hole.
On your routers control panel web page, you will need to find a option called "Dns server". This should be located under DHCP settings.

Simply enter the IP address of your Pi-hole device under "Dns server": On your Pi-hole device, you will need to set a different DNS server.
Depending on your router configuration, if you don't do this step, the Pi-hole device may not be able to access the internet. Its highly recommended to have the device running Pi-hole, pointing to a DNS server outside your network.

• Run the following command dietpi-config 8 1
• Select Ethernet.
• If you are running in DHCP mode, select Change Mode, then select Copy Current address to Static
• Select Static DNS from the list, then choose a DNS server, or manually enter a custom entry.
• Once completed, select Apply to save the changes.

Updating PiHole:
PiHole overwrites the lighttpd.conf during updates, so please backup your lighttpd.conf before updating:

• Backup lighttpd.conf

  Code: Select all

  mv /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bak

• PiHole can then be updated by running pihole -up
• Restore lighttpd.conf

  Code: Select all

  mv /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.bak /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Optional: Pi-hole stats with DietPi-Cloudshell:
Turn your LCD display/monitor into a lightweight stats display, with Pi-hole integration.
- viewtopic.php?p=204#p204 Accessing Pi-hole from OpenVPN or WireGuard
To allow (OpenVPN or WireGuard) VPN clients accessing your local Pi-hole instance, you need to allow DNS requests from all network interfaces:
pihole -a -i local
