I'm using a Linux PC and followed all the instructions, but when I run th Python scrip I get this error:

  File "amiga_rom_exporter.py", line 16

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file amiga_rom_exporter.py on line 16, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

I'm away this weekend but I'll see if I can get someone to test on Linux and give you a response next week.

I used amiga_rom_exporter.py on my Gentoo Linux box and the python script works. However...

I noticed the audio conversion part entails quite a python dependency hell. Not only the mentioned librosa but audioread, decorator, llvmlite (which pulls in outdated llvm-16), numba, python-sox, scipy, lazy-loader and some others. I did not use pip for installing as this can easily clash with Gentoos' own package system, but sorted out the deps manually. Iterating through each failed amiga_rom_exporter.py attempt, which shows the python module missing at the end of the output. Also I needed to install the Python 12 versions as stable numba does not like Python 13 yet.

No problem, and no rush for my sake, I caved and used a Winblows PC to get the job done and the game runs beautifully on my A1200 with its 56Mhz ACA1230 with 64MB of very fast RAM. I just wish I had my old Zoomer steering wheel/yoke controller and QuickJoy foot pedals to play it with!
