Can't get game to run on RetroPie (Amiberry)

Hi, I can get the game to run without issue on my real A1200 but use an RPi3b+ with Retropie for portability and can't get the game to load on that. Here are the things I've tried (all after running the updates in RetroPie emulators and underlying OS), with a known working Amiberry emulator and Kickstarts, copying the T2 game archive to ROMS/Amiga/ on the pi and running from the Emulation station interface:

1: just try to run from the untouched .zip file,I get a red screen with text telling me the game is NTSC and I'm running in PAL

2:to remedy this, I add _NTSC_ to the zip file name as Amiberry will pick this up as a config argument. I get to a red screen stating "THIS GAME REQUIRES FAST RAM" (although 'AGA' in the filename means Amiberry should emulate an A1200 with fast RAM).

3: LHA the working pal WHDload game folder on my real A1200 and transfer to pi. Emulator runs, displays the Amiberry logo (which is unusual, it doesn't do that for other WHDLoad archives, then freezes on black screen, and I have to hard reset.

4: Run Amiberry and create a config manually as an A1200 with 4mb fast RAM, and the correct kickstart. Add the known working WHDload archive and run. Just get a black screen and have to hard reset.

5: Tried the version for the A500mini. Left it for a few minutes as per the instructions on this forum, but just a black screen. I can quit the emulator without a hard reset.

Thank you for your great work. I hope to get this working soon.

I've found a workaround 馃槉 I have installed UAE4arm, a minimal .hdf file with AmigaOS and WHDload and I can launch the game via Workbench. (The same solution doesn't work under Amiberry.)

Unfortunately there are so many different Amiga emulators out there, I can't say how to get it working on all of them. You're best consulting the relevant communities for advice.
