PanelMisc

This panel contains various system-level options that don't fit into specific hardware categories.

General Options

  • Show GUI on startup: If disabled, Amiberry attempts to start emulation immediately (requires a valid config). Useful for dedicated setups.
  • Always on top: Keeps the Amiberry window above all other desktop windows.
  • Untrap = middle button: Allows the middle mouse button to release the mouse capture from the emulator window.
  • Synchronize clock: Syncs the emulated Amiga system time with the host OS time.
  • One second reboot pause: Adds a delay during resets, giving you time to activate boot menus (e.g., hold mouse buttons for Early Startup).
  • Faster RTG: Skips unnecessary chipset emulation cycles when running in RTG (Retargetable Graphics) mode. Keep enabled for better performance.
  • Clipboard sharing: shares the text clipboard between the host (Linux/macOS) and AmigaOS.
  • Allow native code: Enables host-run features, allowing the emulated Amiga to execute commands on the host system. Security Warning: Only enable if you trust the software you are running.

Input & Control

  • Capture mouse when window is activated: Automatically grabs mouse input when the window gains focus (X11/Windowed modes).
  • Minimize when focus is lost: Automatically minimizes Amiberry if you switch to another application.
  • Alt-Tab releases control: Allows Alt-Tab to switch out of the emulator.
  • RCtrl = RAmiga: Maps the Right Control key to Right Amiga (useful for keyboards missing a Windows/Command key).

Status Line

Controls the visibility of the overlay bar showing LED status and system info.

  • Status Line native: Show in native (PAL/NTSC) screens.
  • Status Line RTG: Show in RTG screens.

11 Temperature Host CPU temperature (if supported).

Write Protection

  • Master floppy write protection: Globally locks all floppy images as Read-Only.
  • Master harddrive write protection: Globally locks all HDFs/Hardfiles as Read-Only.

Hotkeys

Map host keys to emulator functions.
