I downloaded and am using the beta version 1.5 and so far so good. I entered Ambian desktop and the key board is off. I could not change it to US where shift 2 gets me the at sign. Even after using sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration. Suggestions please. My hyphen key is ö. Icelandic keyboard maybe

Clicking on the flag will change between 3 preset keyboards. Icelandic Nordic and US I think - something like that... I have not been able to make it stay on a US keyboard yet. It keeps resetting. My suspicion is Gunnar put it in there with a script configured that way to maintain sanity while developing Amibian 1.5ee and forgot to take it out. Not sure.

This bug is mentioned In menu help screen. The fix is explained as well. I moved the microSD card over to my PC and used notepad++ to fix it (All 3 options are US now). The fix can be done on the RP as well. Good luck.

The only thing I expected to get lost is directory cache on the Amiga images. This possibility has occurred to me though, thanks. Have already started to pay a bit more attention to this as well. I have also done write-read tests on a PC and found cards bad, as well as successful tests and then fails in operation... I will confess however to not shutting down the emulation between reboots, changing hardfiles or profiles ( I do Amiga Reset ) etc...

There is that possibility... but even the emulator itself has been corrupted not just the hard files. I power off after shutting down script. I do sometimes reset when I change hard files in the config.P.S. the more i think about it, i may have done both ways...i should try watching my behaviors more closely to see for sure...

Me too... chomping at the bit to get mine. But I have a Pi 4, 3 Pi 3’s, a Pi 2 68k Apple ( My “Apple Pie” ) and other devices, and plenty of things to develop in the mean time... including faq related stuff in the forums and figuring out what is causing all these damn write errors corrupting my files!!! I have had to reload emulations 4 or more times. Even DietPi/Amiberry had issues. Do not recall having many issues with Raspbian. I back up frequently and am making an image library for rapid scratch installs and hdf repository so I can reburn image instead of re-install - with images already intact and pre-configured, and quickly add internet and music files and adf’s and WHDload games. I expect others to have better reliability than me. I think I have something going on locally.

1.4 is not compatible with Pi 4 or Pi 3A+. 1.4 works fine on a Pi 3. 1.5 final will be and is still in development. 1.5 beta no pi 4 either. But did at one point have uaegfx working on beta. Make sure to get good cooling as it is reported to cause the Pi4 to run warm so far. You can install FS-UAE on Raspbian desktop in the mean time as I have done.
