Yes, this is exactly the main Amiga screen I remember and I expected such beautiful purple screen too : ) Anyway, I did fresh install of Amiga PUAE and looked around to fine the config file in /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/game.libretro.puae_libretro_buildbot/save/puae_libretro.ua which tells me where to place the rom. Here's what I can set up within the config. I left all values default:

kickstart_rom_file=/home/osmc/.kodi/addons/game.libretro.puae_libretro_buildbot/resources/system/

ntsc=true
cpu_throttle=
cpu_multiplier=
sound_stereo_separation=0
sound_interpol=
sound_filter=
sound_filter_type=
sound_volume_cd=100
cd_speed=
floppy_speed=
floppy_volume=
floppy0sound=-1
floppy1sound=-1
floppy2sound=-1
floppy3sound=-1
floppy0soundext=
floppy1soundext=
floppy2soundext=
floppy3soundext=
input.mouse_speed=
collision_level=
gfx_flickerfixer=true
gfx_resolution=lores
gfx_linemode=none


So I placed 3 rom files I got from internet. I believe they are free and I am not violating any rights : )

root@osmc:/home/osmc/.kodi/addons/game.libretro.puae_libretro_buildbot/resources/system# ls -la /home/osmc/.kodi/addons/game.libretro.puae_libretro_buildbot/resources/system/
total 1544

-rw-r--r-- 1 osmc osmc 524288 Apr  5 11:03 kickstart-3.1-a500_a600_a2000.rom


However none if them is picked up when core is starting. Based on the log it fallbacks to the build in rom.

I also have to add that I don't have any game or program to emulate as I was rather trying to achieve clean system boot before I try to launch anything within the emulator.
There's bunch more or less important stuff when libretro is starting, however I am always ending with the black screen. as previously mentioned, I can pause/resume/stop libretro plugin with tv remote. I tried to put the whole log into the link at the end of this post.

Not sure whether that will work, so pasting just the end of the log file that indicates probably some serious libretro_buildbot issues when things are starting in OSMC.

I guess if anybody can't try the same setup, it has no sense to further troubleshoot this unless something obvious is spotted.


I tried to put log file here:
