Also how do I find out which emulator I have its uae4arm does that indicate its version 4? I installed it from retropie 4' setup.

retropie 4 installs 0.5 by default i think, so almost certainly have a look on the 'item 0' part of the install guide, which i have just amended. :)

Hey mate, that worked thanks.  Also how can I get all the metadata for the games like you have in your YouTube video I tried the selphs scrapper but that does not recognise the games.  I can do it through retropies scrapper but I have to manually do each game which is not great  :)

i found i could scrape a large selection, but it only picks up around 60% of games.

someone really needs to create a scraper that goes via oagd.net though

Thank you so much for this.
I have a large collection of whdload roms already, so i guess i can use the config maker to generate the .uae files?
One question i have though. All of my whdload roms are zipped up. Will this still work, or do they all need to be extracted to play?

Hungry Horace

i'm told there is a script available that will automatically unpack the zips when you load uae4arm, although i dont use it.

To allow for this, the latest Config Maker (which is now Python based) treats any found .zip files exactly the same as the folders... so they would need to be zipped up and named to match.

Personally i think it works better unzipped!

I feel that i am very close to getting this setup (it is the last emulator i need!)
If i can get it working ill write a guide to help others.
