Booting to program, not to desktop.

Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:44 pm

Hi all,

I have basic understanding of Linux, but haven't found the correct solution, so I'm going to ask it here.

I have taken the case of an old non functioning Amiga 500 and build a Pi 2 into it and am using it with uae4all emulation.
I would like to boot up my Pi-Amiga and go straight in to the emulation program, not start up in Raspian desktop and from the command line start emulation. The emulator starts with

Code: Select all

sudo ./amiga 
to run uae4all fullscreen. Which files do I edit to accomplish booting up in emulation, and after quiting the program start the desktop with

Code: Select all

startx
?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi create a script name startup

Code: Select all

sudo nano startup
and put this in the script

Code: Select all

amiga
or where ever amiga is install put something like sudo ./"where ever amiga is located" save the script. Then do sudo nano

Code: Select all

.bashrc
at the end type

Code: Select all

sudo ./startup
Amiga will be the first thing that shows. You can create a script that has if amiga has been killed then startx. "I cant do that for you." Also you will have to let the pi boot to terminal you can do that by

Code: Select all

sudo raspi-config 
and select boot to terminal. :mrgreen:
By thinking like an engineer you can create a raspberry pi.

I got the PI model B, B+ and PI 2 model B.
When will I get the A? I don't know.
