I have the roms in the RetroPie/roms/amiga directory, but you have to write a shell script to get them to boot from ES, I used the guide posted in this thread:

No Amiga emulation

Then you get the regular file list menu in EmulationStation and the games boot right from there. Perfect! :)

But I would love it if I could exit the emulator with a button (or a button combo, tab+Q mapped to select+start for example) on the controller. My wish is to not have to use the keyboard at all. The C64 emulator have a virtual keyboard which I think work quite okay, and you can map keys to controller button like space, F3, Alt etc, keys that some games use, so with clever mapping you can lie down in the sofa playing Last Ninja. :)

No probs :)

So then you could map any key press to any controller button? That would be great. Would it be difficult to write a script like that? Can’t say I know python, I haven’t wrote a single line python in my life. :P

But is there no settings/config file for the amiga emulator? I’ve searched all over the net and people talk about a GUI that should show up by writing ./uae -s use_gui=true (if I remember it correctly) but I haven’t got it to work with uae4rpi.
Feels like I’m missing something. Shouldn’t be this hard to do some configurations.

It all sounds a bit too complicated for me I’m afraid :( I guess I have to hope I’m not the only one who wish to play Turrican for example – by booting from ES, playing and using smart bombs and grenade, and finally exit the emulator – all done from the controller.

I wish at least these keys were mapped to the controller
Joystick fire – A (already there)
Space – B (already there)
Alt – Y (Turrican grenade)
Left mouse button – left trigger (for load screens etc)
Tab+Q – select+start (exit emulator)

Or a virtual keyboard and mouse pointer controlled by analog stick plus left/right triggers as left/right button.
