Hi can amiberry be made to work on commadore os as it is linux after allthanks rod

IMHO you essentially have the same functionality available from the menu
Applications --> Commodore Emulators --> Amiga Emulators (FS-UAE GUI)
and just like Amiberry this requires some set up.

Amiberry also lets you boot directly into the Amiga environment...which kinda defeats the purpose of Commodore OS (although you could easily auto launch such an environment(or anything else) through the Start Menu if you really wanted to go to the trouble).

I believe "Amiga Forever on GNU/Linux" from Cloanto also lets your PC quickly boot directly into a licensed emulated Amiga environment. I remember trying it out a decade or so ago.

What I'm looking forward to is piMiga 4 both for PC and Pi.
I am seriously, looking into integrating this into Commodore OS on an auto update somehow as it is running on Debian, like COS.
It might be easier said than done.

hi update got amiberry installed and all work well
thanks rod

[LeoNigro]

Did you install it instead of Commodore OS?
Or did you install it beside Commodore OS, so you can dual boot?
Or are you running it within an emulator inside Commodore OS?

HI install it to commadore os followed this page https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry#readme thanks rod

I would be interested to know if the experience is better than using FS-UAE.
(menu) Applications --> Commodore Emulators --> Amiga Emulators (FS-UAE GUI)

I take it you need a HDF image with the set up that you want.
I wonder if we can use the upcoming piMIGA 4's HDF/s.

hi
yes have set up the pimiga 1.5 at the moment
and all work fine i fined it easy to set up as can use config files from pimiga
and just edit hd address
not sure if these help
thanks rod

You've definitely piqued my interest. I will have to do some experimentation at some point, and if it's really cool(and possible) make some sort of automated set up script, available after an update. Then again..... I can also do stuff to FS-UAE too and that's got an Arcade like launcher.
I'm not sure, but maybe that's the future niche of Commodore OS, a bunch of scripts to automate the install of a bunch of retro stuff atop Linux.

I nearly included RetroPie in the base release, but had a few niggling issues and it was holding up the release (which was promised in 2023).
It is almost possible to make an automated(unattended) installation of RetroPie.
There are sooo many possible directions to go....including one of my own design (which might? be better).

Does piMiga1.5 have the keyhole stuff, where you can launch a browser or open office via the linux backend?
Does that work with Amiberry on Commodore OS?
Does piMiga1.5 run official Workbench or CaffeineOS, or something else?

hi yes sorry tuck so long to get back
i had to download pimiga 3 image and try with that can report all works and the all Linux back stuff just works
it has Scalos as workbench
this all on commodore os using amiberry to emulate amiga running pimiga 3
hope that answer's your question
thanks again for commodore os as now my main amiga
