The files in bold print are the ones that I have found to be most essential in getting up and running.

The Amiga 500 came out in the late 1980s as a competitor to the Atari ST, while the CD32 was a CD-based system in the early 1990s with improved graphics and sound.

Ill try to keep this as a standard guide to get you started with each firmwares default emulators, but you are welcome to try the different emulators that are available for each firmware.

Amiberry doesnt support CD32 games, so the PUAE Amiga RetroArch core is used instead.

You may need to switch between emulators for certain games; for example, Amiberry doesnt have mouse controls configured, but the PUAE RetroArch core does.

To set mouse functions using Amiberry, here is the note from the ArkOS developer.

Launch a game then go to the Amiberry Menu by pressing Select X 2.

On the left side of the screen, scroll down to Input.

Then hit left and scroll up to configuration.

Hit right and scroll down to the Save button and hit the A button.

That being said Amiberry tends to load games more quickly than the PUAE core.

Cd32 Ks Rom V3.1 How To Do That

Setting your default emulator to PUAE in ArkOS is very easy, and I show you how to do that in the video above.

I didnt test it personally but I have heard that it has good performance, too.

So my recommendation is to try the default emulator on your device, then switch to another one if youre having issues with a particular game.

Cd32 Ks Rom V3.1 Software Versions Over

Because there were so many different Amiga systems released, and different software versions over the years, games arent fully compatible with just one Kickstart file.

So were going to take the carpet bombing approach and just throw everything thats helpful at it and hope that most of them stick.

They need to be named exactly as you see below in the first column (Kickstart ROM file name).

The ones in bold are absolutely required according to the Amiberry emulator team, and the others are helpful with compatibility.

These names are based on the TOSEC (The Old School Emulation Center) naming convention.

This is a good troubleshooting tool in case you have all of the files loaded into the bios folder and you still arent able to boot a particular game (the other step would be to try a different file version of that game).

These are the exact same files as the ones above (see the second column), but need to be renamed to the file name in the first column.

Just make a copy of the old.rom file and rename it to the file name in the first column.

At this point Im not leaving any cards on the table, so here they are listed.

I realize that this is a lot of BIOS files for just two systems, but these are taken from lists provided by RetroArch and Amiberry, and should allow you to open most Amiga 500 and CD32 games regardless of firmware or emulator you choose.
