Amiga Rom Naming

Postby Skatie » Mon Dec 03, 2018 11:12 pm

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can tell me what naming convention Retrox uses for Commodore Amiga artwork, I have numerous amiga romsets (tosec adf, whdload etc) but a lot of artwork doesn't show up or is not detected because of my file names.

Hope this helps Skatie...............................

RetroX will use the directory name to detect the game.

Additional files
As in any other game, you can add your own covers, screenshot and configurations for multitask games. Those files go directly into the folder. For example:

Turrican II Beta/
Turrican II Beta/turrican2.disk1.adf
Turrican II Beta/turrican2.disk2.adf
Turrican II Beta/cover.jpg
Turrican II Beta/shot.0.png
Turrican II Beta/shot.1.png
Turrican II Beta/shot.2.png
Turrican II Beta/retrox.conf
Turrican II Beta/uae.conf
Turrican II Beta/keymap.conf
Using more disk drives in Amiga
Commodore Amiga supports more than one Disk Drive, some games allows you to put each disk in its own drive, so you don’t have to swap the inserted disk. For example, the game Soccer Kid supports 4 drives, and you put one disk on each drive, Jaguar XJ220 supports 2 drives, and so on.

If your game supports more than one drive, add the following line to uae.conf

drives=2
Where “2” is the number of drives for your game (up to 4)

Thanks KingPepper50, i have all my files in 1 directory so I might need to put each game in its own directory, i'll give it a crack :D
