Here is the minimal but complete setup for UAE-Wii Tiny Launcher. The link has been available in a couple other threads but decided it needed a dedicated thread that would be easier to find.

This is the easiest and best way to enjoy the beautiful Amiga library with this great emulator, with no disk swapping headaches.

This simple setup comes with 4 freeware games ready to go. Simply read the included instructions and you should be playing your old favorites in under 30 minutes.

Thanks to @cheloruiz79 and @matto21 in this collaborative effort.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to post, i will do my best to assist. Enjoy!!!

What CPU/RAM is this set up for, does it support AGA games?

CPU type is set for 68020 model A1200 and memory is set for 2M.

You can change the configuration(s) if you run into a game not working, but after testing several games, i thought what i made as the default settings were the most universal.

Yes AGA games are fully compatible. I did run into at least 1 game (Battle Isle) i could not get working that is working through my iGame setup. All in all, i have around 3500 games installed and have run into very few that are not working or need settings changed because of issues. As mentioned, if/when you run into problem games, toggle the settings a bit to see if it helps.

Please make sure you are using the provided clean install with no previous cfg. With a fresh install you must provide these kick roms inside the uae/roms folder...
kick rom
kick12.rom
kick13.rom
kick205.rom
kick31.rom

This should boot you to the blue "Amiga Boot Selector" screen where you select Tiny Launcher.

this time i've copied the kick roms from the "shared" folder of Amiga Forever 9.0.10.0 (it was released in 2021) and renamed them as "kick.. etc.rom" according to the instructions in the rom folder but now it shows the "failed to load kickstart .rom" error.

Ok, so i installed this from scratch again on both SD and USB just to eliminate the possibility of either not working.

I was able to reproduce your error and found older or certain versions of kick31.rom causes the error.

To fix the issue, either hunt down and download a legitimate rom.key and place it inside the roms folder. 2nd option is find and download an updated/different kick31.rom (newer releases of Amiga Forever kick31.rom work 100%) or search internet archive.

Both avenues will fix the error.

Never knew about this Tiny Launcher, have got it running on vWii using USB Loader GX and it runs amazingly well with only Shadow of the Beast 3 having to run at 240p for full speed everything else is fine at 480p. It runs better than the p-UAE 2021 I had running on Wii U Retroarch on Haxchi before I upgraded to Aroma. Since there is no p-UAE for Aroma this has come in very handy, thanks.

Edit: with ploggy's overclocked vwii forwarder Sotb 3 now runs full speed at 480p. Out of all the games I have only Turrican 2 AGA version doesn't run full speed at 480p. This is really surprising for me as I tried a vwii overclock forwarder from another forum some years back and it crashed but ploggys forwarder works perfectly overclocked.

Is there a way to play Cannon Fodder properly on UAE-Wii?

The ECS version has issues with the wiimote/ mouse getting intermittently stuck or frozen. All other controls work fine.

The CD32 Whdload version can work around this by moving the cursor with classic controller thumbsticks but for some reason you can't press move button and fire button at same time to throw a grenade...

So far the only way around is to switch to wiimote when want to throw grenades buy this doesn't work well on later levels where fast reflexes are needed.
