What

Ports everything that is not source code from amiberry master to amiberry-lite, continuing the CI and build-file ports.

Data refresh (verbatim copies)

File Lite (old) Amiberry (new)
controllers/gamecontrollerdb.txt 2025-03-03 2026-08-06
roms/aros-rom.bin, roms/aros-ext.bin 2025-08-16 2026-09-14
whdboot/save-data/Kickstarts/kick31034.A1000.RTB missing added 2026-08-06

Meta / docs

  • AUTHORS — enriched contributor list (full names/emails) from Amiberry; same project lineage
  • README.md — new, adapted for Amiberry-Lite: Linux + macOS only (no Windows/Android/FreeBSD), release downloads, build instructions
  • Brewfile — new, matches the CI Homebrew dependency list (SDL2 stack)
  • docs/_config.yml — title + description for Pages
  • packaging/linux/Amiberry-Lite.desktop — modernized from Amiberry's current entry: keywords, StartupNotify, PrefersNonDefaultGPU, StartupWMClass=amiberry-lite; -lite branding and MimeType list unchanged

Deliberately not ported

  • whdload_db.json (new DB format) — parser comes with the code port
  • docs/ipc.md, zz9000.md, ppc-qemu-plugin.md etc. — feature docs, land with their code
  • tests/, tools/ — compile against src/, land with the code port
  • FreeBSD CI, Windows toolchains/signing, Android, libretro GitLab CI — out of scope for lite
  • PPA/COPR/apt-repo release infra — lite releases via GitHub Releases (CPack deb/DMG); can be ported later if lite gets its own repo channels

Verification

  • ROM MD5s match amiberry master exactly; RTB byte-identical
  • Controller DB header/format intact (2223 mappings, up from 2110)
  • Desktop entry is a structural clone of Amiberry's known-good entry with lite branding; install rules reference unchanged filenames

- Update gamecontrollerdb.txt to latest SDL_GameControllerDB (2026-08)
- Update AROS ROMs (aros-rom.bin, aros-ext.bin) to latest builds (2026-09)
- Add missing kick31034.A1000.RTB whdboot kickstart
- Refresh AUTHORS with full contributor details from Amiberry
- Add README.md adapted for Amiberry-Lite (Linux/macOS only)
- Add Brewfile for macOS development builds
- docs/_config.yml: add title and description
- Desktop entry: modernize fields (keywords, StartupNotify,
  PrefersNonDefaultGPU, StartupWMClass=amiberry-lite)

- Add libzstd-dev to Linux prerequisites (USE_ZSTD is ON by default and
  its absence only warns, silently dropping CHD compressed image support)
- Drop the 'universal' claim from the macOS DMG: CI builds arm64-only
- State that lite is based on an older WinUAE core, has fewer features
  and lower compatibility than full Amiberry, but is faster
