Configurations Panel

PanelConfigurations

Manages Amiberry configuration files (.uae). A configuration stores all emulation settings — CPU, chipset, memory, drives, and controls — in a single file.

Configuration List

A scrollable list of all .uae files found in the configured configurations directory. Each entry shows the filename and, if present, its description in parentheses. Click an entry to select it; double-click to load it immediately and close the GUI.

Search

Search

  • Filters the configuration list in real time as you type
  • The search is case-insensitive and matches any part of the filename
  • The X button clears the search field and restores the full list

Fields

Name

  • Shows the filename (without extension) of the selected configuration
  • You can type a new name here before saving to create a new configuration file

Description

  • Shows the description stored inside the selected configuration file
  • You can edit this field before saving; the description is written into the .uae file

Actions

Load

  • Loads the selected configuration into the emulator
  • All current settings are replaced by the values in the file

Save

  • Saves the current emulation settings to a .uae file using the name in the Name field
  • The file is saved in the configured configurations directory
  • If the name matches an existing file it is overwritten; if it is a new name a new file is created
  • The description in the Description field is written into the saved file

Save As...

  • Opens a native file dialog (or built-in file browser on systems without a desktop environment) to save the configuration to any location with any filename
  • Useful for saving configurations outside the default configurations directory, or for exporting a configuration to share with others
  • After saving, the configuration list is refreshed and the newly saved file is selected

Delete

  • Deletes the selected configuration file from disk
  • A confirmation dialog asks "Do you want to delete '...'?" before the file is removed
