First time use for Raspberry Pi - henrikstengaard/hstwb-installer GitHub Wiki

First time use steps for Raspberry Pi OS will help configure Amiga emulators and install HstWB Installer image as HstWB Installer doesn't come with any Amiga OS or Kickstart roms files.

This requires preparing a FAT32 formatted USB stick with Amiga OS and Kickstart files and can be done before continuing first time use steps.

Preparation of USB self install files

Download and prepare USB self install files with following steps:

  1. Download USB self install files from https://hstwb.firstrealize.com/download.

  1. Unzip to root of a FAT32 formatted USB stick (or any FAT32 formatted USB device: Harddisk, SSD).

  1. Amiga OS and Kickstart files are required, see Prepare Amiga OS and Kickstart about which Amiga OS and Kickstart to copy to USB stick.
    • Kickstart 3.2, 3.1.4 or 3.1 for A1200 is required by Amiga emulators as HstWB Installer for Raspberry Pi uses A1200 configurations to run HstWB Installer image.
  2. For installation of WHDLoad games, demos and magazines, see Prepare WHDLoad Packs about how to download and prepare WHDLoad packs on USB stick.

When ready, insert USB stick in Raspberry Pi before starting first time use steps.

First time use steps

  1. A success dialog should be displayed with a message that Kickstart 3.2.1, 3.2, 3.1.4 or 3.1 A1200 rom was successfully installed in kickstarts directory.
    • HstWB Installer will only install highest Kickstart rom version, if multiple Kickstart rom versions for A1200 are copied to kickstart directory on USB stick.

  • If HstWB Self Install was not found:
    1. Check FAT32 formatted USB stick with HstWB self install files is inserted in Raspberry Pi.
    2. Select Yes and press enter to retry find HstWB Self Install.
    3. If retry still doesn't find HstWB self install, See manual mount FAT32 devices below.
  1. Select Yes to download and install latest HstWB Installer UAE4ARM image.

  • Wait 5-10 minutes depending on internet connection to download image and installation of HstWB Installer UAE4ARM image.
  1. A success dialog should be displayed with a message about latest HstWB Installer UAE4ARM image was successfully installed.

Amiga emulators and HstWB Installer image is now installed and ready to use.
