3.1.4 rom not found in Amiberry or UAE4ARM

Fresh install of Amibian, latest release.

I've created a hdf through WinUAE with ClassicWB + BestWB + Workbench 3.1.4. The problem is Amiberry or UAE4ARM doesn't see the 3.1.4 rom (either in drop down list or manually browsing) - just finds the "normal" 1.3 / 2.05 / 3.1 roms I've dropped in there also. Obviously the hdf wont boot on any other rom (modules.library not found).

On the Amiberry github, they've added the rom to the rommgr.cpp file but running an download/recompile of Amiberry within Amibian doesn't seem to pull the file in.

Any ideas?

Can anyone offer any insight in how to get 3.1.4 roms to work with Amibian/Amiberry?

Have you tried as amigafan2003 noted above and made sure to add .ROM to the end of the file?

Additionally, how are you trying to set up your Amibian/Amiberry system (i.e. booting to a 3.1 Workbench ADF, booting to a hard drive install of 3.1 Workbench, etc...)?

Yes, I did add the .rom to the end of the file (didn't work). I'm trying to set up the Pi3 with a 3.1.4 hard drive installation.

Solved it. I manually downloaded the binary for Amiberry 2.25 from the github and replaced the amiberry-rpi3-sdl1 file with the newer version and the 3.1.4 rom is now seen correctly.

Would you be willing to write out a step-by-step process? I'd really like to get this working. Thanks!

I have the same problem - pulled the latest version of Amiberry using the inbuilt compiler script but the 3.1.4 rom isn't seen. I can browse to it manually and it will work for that session, but after a reboot it's not saved in the config and it doesn't appear in the drop-down. Anyone managed to fix this?

I fixed it - bit of a daft mistake tbh. The 3.1.4 KS does not have a .rom file extension. Not a problem when using it in WinUAE but looks like Amiberry expects it. I added .rom to the file name and now ok.

Additionally, have you tried replacing one of the known-working KS files with the 3.1.4 KS to see if it works?

Since Amibian has not been updated since before 3.1.4 came out, I am guessing it wouldn't support it (same as Amibian not supporting Cyberstorm or other PPC plugins but support other specific hardware plugins)

EDIT: Apparently I can't read. Since you pulled the latest version of Amiberry, I am wondering if it might be more of a "whitelist" type of thing where the emulator is looking for a specific file.
