Amiberry: DOS-Error #205 (object not found) on reading "Intro"

[penx]

Describe the bug

When loading a whdload lha, I always get a black screen. On checking /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/whdboot/save-data/Debugs the result is nearly always:

DOS-Error #205
(object not found)
on reading "Intro"

(with the disk name changing depending on the game, e.g. on reading "flashback").

To Reproduce

• Fresh install Retropie 4.7.1 with Raspberry Pi Imager
• Update RetroPie-Setup (I am on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/commit/c5e56d864f8c5b5c0fb78d794d568833b6666fc7)
• Install amiberry from binary
• Reboot
• Insert USB drive containing BIOS and ROMs such as this one
• Wait for copy to complete and restart retropie
• Open lha, see Amiberry logo,
• (If first time loading lha, see Amiberry WHDload AutoBooter, including "Setpatch... not found")
• see black screen
• Check/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/whdboot/save-data/Debugs

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: RetroPie 4.7.1
• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 400

I saw https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/issues/679#issuecomment-672336624 but can confirm I am using the lha as it exists on http://www.whdload.de/

on a side not it took me a long time to figure out the correct log file to be looking at - is there any way to surface errors like this on the screen, or else add a section to the wiki called "log files/debug" that lists these file locations along with the amiberry.log file and runcommand.log (it wasn't clear to me there were 3 places the errors could have been logged to)

This is actually the same thing. The .lha files from WHDLoad.de do not contain any games, they are just the installers.
You'll need to look elsewhere for pre-installed LHA "packs" if you want those. ;-)

Regarding the documentation about logfiles, I'll add something in the wiki about that. Keep in mind the runcommand.log is not related to Amiberry however, that's RetroPie's own log.

oh ok that makes sense 😄
