What's the simplest way to get it working? Have a gamebase set. 

Started a Ben's WinUAE loader. Then delved into WinUAE. Got totally confused so tried the RetroArch approach. no dice. Black screen. 

Back to UAE Loader and emu. Got games to boot, but ended up throwing things around the room because couldn't get controls to map. Would F12 once Game booted in WinUAE via WinUAE loader. Would change the controls (it's really confusing the layout and ambiguous references) - sometimes got it working, albeit Player 1 being Player 2 controls on my cab. However, when exited and returns these hadn't saved. 

Can't make head nor tail of any settings of#r config files - they seem to be everywhere - in the Loader and UAE.

Any Idiots guides or easy ways?

Despite the old PCs being some of my fave nostalgia (C64, Amiga) they're an absolute PITA to set up!

Since I am an Atari 8-bit/16-bit fanboy, I went with the Atari 8-bit and ST Gamebases. The emulators are a little more forgiving IMO.

Nice one. Although I did struggle with ST setup - what Emu you using for that?

[Draco1962]

I use STeem v3.2. but noticed that there is now a new version called STeem SSE that was last update 7/20/17. Might be worth a looksie.

Also noticed that there was an update forthcoming for GBST but it appears that it has stalled and no further word from the mook doing the announced update.

Do the games work okay through GameBase?

I have both GameBase and WHDLoad working okay. Gamebase may be easier to setup within Gameex in the first instance.
