There is an "amiga_model" option. It defaults to A500. Other useful values are probably A1200 and CD32. AI: The "AGA" in the name of the A1200 is a graphics chipset, so it is possible that the A600 and A4000 also have this chipset, but I don't know if they are supported by FS-UAE.
There are nine global save states (no per-game save states). There is no info from the emulator, or in the save state file name, as to which game a save state belongs to, so be careful. "F12" is the emulator menu. This is where you do can everything: load, save, exit, etc... The joystick buttons are RAlt and RCtrl. These cannot be remapped. I believe the developer used these because he wants the rest of your KB to be used as the virtual Amiga's KB, and the Amiga probably didn't have a RAlt and RCtrl. I think the common Amiga joystick has just one fire button. For games which require a second button, they usually let "space" serve as a second button. It seems most games already have "p" (on the Amiga kb, which is the same as your kb's "p") mapped to pause the game
evsieve has been working well for outside-the-emulator input remapping. The emulator does support gamepads, so when I get that working, there won't be a mapping issue for the cabinet. I am using the "data1" field in my DB for the second disc image, when it is required. I am using the "data2" field for the rom version. Use 3.1 for the later model Amiga "AGA" and CD32. For everything else, you probably want 1.3 One drive, one disc:

Following the above procedure is not enough to get Overkill running from scratch. I can't get it past the crack team intro. However I did it before, I have the save state for once it's past the crack team intro, so it works when you load it with the save state, but I don't know how to recreate the save state. |

SAVE STATES:
Emulators for which I use save states: & are hard-coded in PCSX2 for one of its plugins (see the ini file in PCSX2). This should not eliminate these keys from consideration because you should not be using that emulator's save states.
 through  are off-limits for the save/load buttons because MAME will also count save/load command button as the save slot.
So the save/load buttons (but not the slot selection buttons) need to be non-alpha-numeric. The best bet is probably a F[1-12] button. This means that KeyWiz is a poor choice for KB encoder for Linux, since it has no default F[1-12] ports, and you cannot reconfigure KeyWiz in Linux. Also, AHK does not work with MAME, so you would have to maintain seperate Linux and Windows configs if using KeyWiz (and even then, I don't know if xmodkeys works with MAME). So just use F[1-12] keys. & are hard-coded in Fusion for save and load. So let's try using these.
& should work as the save selection buttons. In MAME, these are the coin buttons, and adding a coin as you select the state will not be a big deal. For consoles, these were planned to be used as the "select" buttons, but the "select" button is virtually unused, and for those games which do use it, I now map "select" to one of the game-play buttons on a per-game basis, as needed.
