Excellent work! I haven't downloaded it yet so few questions:
Does it have MAME under RetroArch to play 1980's era arcade games like Frogger, Moon Patrol, Joust, etc?
I know the game packs are no longer included but are there still "official" game packs you guys put together to use with Project Carousel like you had with prior versions? I'm just wondering what game pack everybody recommends for the C64 and Vic20, but of course I'd love to check out any of the others.
Can any game be launched from the Carousel for any of these systems, or is the Carousel only able to launch vic20 and 64 stuff? I'm assuming you can only do that from the RetroArch GUI?
Thx again!

Yes you should be able to use Mame with RetroArch, it has 2 version, RA 1.7.0 Mobile Version and RA 1.9.6 Desktop Version, it has all it cores included with them, you just have to try it to see what games will work, I say that cause of the machines 256 MB Ram, so like Amiga emulation does not work cause of its memory...  |

Got the Amiga working in RetroArch 1.7.0 UAE4Arm in PCUAE...   And its running at full speed.. no lag.. well maybe a little but what you get from a emulator. THE Amiga is Coming ... This will keep you happy until The A500Mini comes out... Its running on my THEVIC20 so probably runs better on THEC64 Maxi/THEVIC20 cause its a Armv8 and a H3 SoC., THEC64 Mini is a Armv7 A20 SoC.   |

It has some bugs in it, one is that it has no keyboard and I can not get the virtual keyboard to work like on the Atari ST and cause of no keyboard you can not swap disks, but you can run .uae files in it so if you want to run a game or run WHDLoad Games you will have to set up its .uae file for it and then put it into the Amiga folder in extragames folder and then load it. Every game you run you will have to setup the game options in RA so the screen is the right resolution, its at 320x I can not do anything about the keyboard cause its the driver in RetroArch thats doing it, it needs udev but udev is not included in THEC64 firmware, it dose not work on SDL and thats what RA Mode is using. Still doing some more tests on it at the moment so hopeful out soon. The A500Mini that is coming out will be using this emulator to, UAE4Arm cause this is the only emulator for armhf, You may think Amiberry is a different emulator but Amiberry is a fork of UAE4ARM with support for WHDLoad, which offers a better console-like experience. UAE4Arm is for Android originally and was ported to the Raspberry PI. I am going to try and setup my WHDLoad games from my A1700, I did register WHDLoad years ago, when it loads a game its registered to me... thats when you had to register WHDLoad otherwise you would have a box coming up saying to register it, I am still on WHDLoad 18x I think... |

It has some bugs in it, one is that it has no keyboard and I can not get the virtual keyboard to work like on the Atari ST Is the integrated keyboard on the maxi recognised? How about an external USB keyboard? Will either of those options work with the Amiga emulation via RetroArch? With a USB keyboard, have you tried toggling the Scroll-Lock key on and off, to see if it makes a difference with the recognition of the keyboard? By default within RA, this key toggles the "Game Focus" mode. |

RetroArch has a Input Driver problem and is not compatible with SDL so any keyboard or Mouse does not work, SDL works on the Game Controller Driver so that why the Pads and Joysticks work, the Display Driver picks the Input Driver and see SDL as incompatible, not the right driver to use, It wants to use udev, but its not part of the firmware. I thought I would release RA the way it is cause some emulators do not need a keyboard and mouse and you can use the virtual one, but the virtual keyboard and Mouse is not working on UAE4Arm and its a bit weird when you go into game options and if you pick a model and its thinks its a Amstrad 6128 or 464 not Amiga model so something weird going on with the core. UAE4Arm came with RA 1.7.0 so do not know what up with it, it was included as one of its cores, and its for Pandora's Box 4.. github.com/zanac/OpenPB4 it works cause the PB 4 has the same specs as THEC64 Mini so same Allwinner SoC. Edit: Nothing to do with Armiga.... Looking at the cores on github and I just noticed parallel-n64 core, I never saw that before, ok adding that now to RA... |

Hi Nick,
I tested version 1.7.1 today on a clean USB stick. It worked fine but I noticed one problem: CTRL+F7 did not bring up the carousel options menu, what happend was that the carousel freezed, I could not move between games. I could however press CTRL+F1 to bring up the help menu, and from that access the option menu with the choice available when exiting the menu. After bringing up the help menu everything worked fine again. Is this something others have experienced?
best regards
Lantzelot

You need to use PCUAE 1.7.2 bug fix version now... here it means I will not be changing the version number for a while and bug fix any errors as soon as I can or when I come across them. |

hi. still playing with 1.72bugfix.
after running pcuaio-1.72-bug-fixed version-all-in-one-setup.exe a popup appear saying "impossible to find PCUAE\pcuaes-1.72-bug-fixed".
there is a file named pcuaes-1.72-bug-fixed version-pcuae-only-setup.exe.
running pcuaes-1.72-bug-fixed version-pcuae-only-setup.exe as admin i can build the flash stick as usual.
now things go bad because of the missing game folders.
in the file "Add a folder in here to add a gamelist.txt" there is an advice to create 0_Favourites. done.
now time to run PcuGameManager.exe. imported a game list from an old installation and then "export"
"all games" to "F:\Carousel_Games\Games\0_Favourites".
the result is a directory F:\Carousel_Games\Games\0_Favourites\all_games. it seems wrong. why the all_games path inside 0_Favourites?
selecting only a single game the All_games subfolder is not created and the directory tree seems right.
in my opinion the installer should be instructed to create at least 1 game folder with a demo app in it to be sure about the folder structure.
in any case the boot sequence still fall back to the standard carousel.

I have a similar problem with the pcuaio-1.72 games included version, where the installer also fails to locate the setup file.

***NEW***
***Amiga Mode***
Updated 14/11/2021 I just released Amiga Mode Pack Beta for PCUAE 1.7.2, install it like you install PCUAE, to your USB Stick, to run Amiga Mode load up Mode Changer(CTRL-F5) and select Amiga Mode from the menu and it should do a restart and then boot into Amiga Mode. You will find Amiga Mode in PCUAE Manager now so download it from there now. If you need to reset the Amiga after you have played in a game, to change games and go back to game menu press CTRL+F7. It takes about 30 seconds to load AGS Menu from when the Amiga starts up, you will see a mouse icon appear on the top left of the screen say `CD200`, To load a game use THEC64 Joystick to highlight and select a category and then highlight a game you want to load and press Fire. Some games will play better than others, it properly down to the ram THEC64 has, it really needs 512 mb ram to run properly. I will be puting in a option in PCUAE Option Menu so you can change the refresh rate from 1 to 5 to speed it up abit but you can't do it to high cause you start to see the missing fames, you start to see lag when the screen is scrolling, I added if if a game is not playing properly. New... Beta 3 is out and the keyboard and mouse works now...  some times it will not reset the Amiga when your in a game, I think its to do with out of memory so just press CTRL-Restore instead of CTRL-F7.
I am trying to replace AGS1 with AGS2 so it will have the same colours as Workbench 1.3, it will take a while cause the files in AGS1 are not the same as AGS2, AGS1 in 17 years old. Retroarch Menu dose not work on SDL, only on GL but be adding a setting(CTRL-3) so you can switch between them, screen is at full screen now so its stretched across the screen so not 4:3 but will load ok on a 4:3 monitor and the keyboard and mouse only works with the Display Driver on SDL so if you switch the display back to GL then the keyboard and Mouse will not work, Display and Input Driver in RA needs to be on SDL for the keyboard and mouse to work. You can only play Amiga games at the moment from the AGS Menu only, I am not plaining on making it possible to load games from the Retroarch menu, you can if you switch SDL to GL but you can do that in RA Mode, it still has P-UAE in that but it will have no keyboard or mouse working, I need to looking to it more. Fixed Batman The Movie Added Nightbreed The Interactive Movie - it has a problem with it screenshot on the AGS Menu, will fix later and its a picture of its box - need updating - game works fine Nightbreed The Action Game - it has a problem with it screenshot on the AGS Menu, will fix later and its a picture of its box - need updating - game works fine I will be adding a few games a month for you all to AGS Menu to play with.. Enjoy. I never made this too take anything away from the A500 Mini, I am going to still buy mine, this so you can get ready for it and play some Amiga games on THEC64 while you wait for it..

I downloaded the latest version pcuaio-1.72-project carousel usb-all-in-one-supporter-setup. Everything is working ok but I am trying to load RetroArch mode through the mode menu using CTRL+F5. I select the mode to load it, where do I go from there I can't seem to get it working. I checked the auto loader option it says it is active and that the firmware is on the device.
If someone could help me out that would be awesome.
Thanks guys.

Well apparently the modes were already installed with the all in one supporters version. Anyway waiting on overwriting the files and trying again but I don't think that was my problem since it looks like RA mode was already on the usb drive. |

If someone could help me out that would be awesome. Thanks guys. You need to download `pcuse-1.71-project carousel usb-supporters-edition-setup.exe` the other 2 setup files I never made, Davy must of made them to update it to PCUAE 1.7.2. Download that file then install it to your USB Stick then download PCUAE 1.7.2 All In One version from here and install that to the USB Stick and PCUGM to your PC and then download if you want it Amiga Mode Pack from the same place and then Install that to your USB Stick, and then everything should work. I be updating the supporters edition today, it will have Amiga Mode added and updated to PCUAE 1.7.2 bf version, Sorry about this.... As PCUAE is getting bigger so is the setup.exe files and it can only hold up to 4GB compressed files, you might have to install this with 2 setup files cause it starting to go past the 4GB limit WinRAR can hold but we will cross that bridge when we come to it... This is why I made setup packs instead of one big setup file originally. PCUAE is about 19.1 GB now with everything installed. I have 10.5 GB left from my 29.6 GB(32GB) SD card. I was thinking of making a version of PCUAE with Autoboot activated already so when you run PCUAE with the fake update for the first time it activates autoboot for you, if you do not want it to do that and want to do it yourself then you just download the regular PCUAE. |
