Miscellaneous

The Miscellaneous panel contains a collection of general emulator behaviour settings, keyboard hotkeys, and keyboard LED mappings that do not belong to a specific hardware category.

Options

The left column is a scrollable list of checkboxes.

Untrap = middle button

  • When enabled, pressing the middle mouse button releases the mouse from the emulator window

Show GUI on startup

  • Opens the configuration GUI automatically when Amiberry starts, before emulation begins

Always on top

  • Keeps the emulator window above all other windows on the desktop

GUI always on top

  • Keeps the configuration GUI window above all other windows on the desktop

Synchronize clock

  • Synchronises the emulated Amiga's real-time clock with the host system time

One second reboot pause

  • Adds a one-second delay when the emulated Amiga resets, mimicking real hardware behaviour

Faster RTG

  • Speeds up RTG (graphics card) rendering by disabling custom chipset emulation while in RTG mode

Clipboard sharing

  • Shares the clipboard between the emulated Amiga and the host operating system

Allow native code

  • Permits execution of native host code via the JIT compiler; requires JIT to be enabled

Native on-screen display

  • Shows the status line with LED indicators (power, drives, etc.) when running in native chipset display modes

RTG on-screen display

  • Shows the status line with LED indicators when running in RTG (graphics card) display modes

Log illegal memory accesses

  • Writes a log entry whenever the emulated CPU attempts to access an invalid memory address

Blank unused displays

  • Blanks secondary monitors when the emulator is running in fullscreen mode

Start mouse uncaptured

  • Starts emulation with the mouse pointer free rather than captured inside the emulator window

Start minimized

  • Starts the emulator window in a minimized state

Minimize when focus is lost

  • Automatically minimizes the emulator window when it loses focus

Master floppy write protection

  • Enables write protection on all floppy disk images, preventing any writes regardless of individual drive settings

Master harddrive write protection

  • Enables write protection on all hard drive images, preventing any writes regardless of individual drive settings

Hide all UAE autoconfig boards

  • Hides all UAE expansion boards from the Amiga's autoconfig system

RCtrl = RAmiga

  • Maps the host Right Control key to the Amiga Right Amiga key

Power LED dims when audio filter is disabled

  • Dims the on-screen power LED indicator when the Amiga audio filter is switched off, matching real hardware behaviour

Capture mouse when window is activated

  • Automatically captures the mouse pointer when the emulator window is clicked or brought into focus

Debug memory space

  • Enables a debug memory region for diagnostic purposes

Force hard reset if CPU halted

  • Automatically performs a hard reset of the emulated Amiga if the CPU enters a halted state

A600/A1200/A4000 IDE scsi.device disable

  • Disables the scsi.device for the built-in IDE controller on A600, A1200, and A4000 models

Warp mode reset

  • Enables turbo/warp mode during the reset sequence for faster booting

Dark theme

  • Switches the GUI appearance between the default light theme and the dark theme

Alt-Tab releases control

  • Reserves Alt-Tab for the host operating system and releases mouse capture when the emulator loses focus

Use RetroArch Quit Button

  • Enables the RetroArch-style quit button mapping for exiting the emulator

Use RetroArch Menu Button

  • Enables the RetroArch-style menu button mapping for opening the GUI

Use RetroArch Reset Button

  • Enables the RetroArch-style reset button mapping for resetting the emulated Amiga

Hotkeys

The right column provides fields for assigning keyboard shortcuts. Click ... next to a field to capture a new key combination, or X to clear it.

Open GUI

  • Keyboard shortcut to open the configuration GUI (default: F12)

Quit Key

  • Keyboard shortcut to quit the emulator

Action Replay

  • Keyboard shortcut to activate the Action Replay cartridge (default: Pause)

FullScreen

  • Keyboard shortcut to toggle fullscreen mode

Minimize

  • Keyboard shortcut to minimize the emulator window

Left Amiga

  • Keyboard shortcut to simulate a Left Amiga key press

Right Amiga

  • Keyboard shortcut to simulate a Right Amiga key press

Keyboard LEDs

Maps Amiga status LEDs to the host keyboard indicator lights.

NumLock

  • Selects which Amiga LED (none, POWER, DF0, DF1, DF2, DF3, HD, CD) is reflected by the NumLock keyboard indicator

ScrollLock

  • Selects which Amiga LED is reflected by the ScrollLock keyboard indicator

CapsLock

  • Selects which Amiga LED is reflected by the CapsLock keyboard indicator
