SUCCESS!!!!

After playing with the startAmigaDisk.sh file to see what arguments are being passed to it I figured that the .adf file is actually being passed to the script, just isn’t being used.

Change the /opt/retropie/emulators/uae4rpi/startAmigaDisk.sh file to look like this:

#!/bin/bash
pushd "/opt/retropie/emulators/uae4rpi/"
rm df0.adf
ln -s $1 "df0.adf"
./uae4all    
popd

The only change is to replace the path to the roms folder with $1 which is the full path to the .ADF file that you executed from the user interface that is being passed in as the first (and only) argument.

The emulator should now run from the user interface directly. However this will only work for a game with one .adf file.

Next challenge to get it working for games with multiple disks.

This is great… I am learning lots! Its like how I began figuring out PCs… trying to create boot disks to get DOS games to work! :)
