Either one is fine (Just Frode is shorter..)!

I just posted the configuration program -see my previous post (zip file contains joyconfig.exe and all dependencies, hopefully). When you have saved the configuration file, FS-UAE should pick it up automatically.

If I can remember amigame http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oj9Yhx05Gwis doing that for the config but not with joystick joypad support to navigate. I have to say I like better the way fsUAE is done (fs for frode solheim I suppose!)

The launcher will probably eventually come with a database of known configurations, so you can scan for files and get a game list created automatically (As you point it, this is nothing new, there are other such projects, but this one will work with FS-UAE on all supported platforms). (Yes, FS is my initials, but also an abbrevation of the name of the family farm (Fengestad), which also explains fengestad.no Anyway, I can't come up with cool project names if my life depended on it, so FS-UAE it is )

FS-UAE doesn't support loading another configuration after having been started (this is by design).

The easiest way to start different configurations on Windows, is by choosing to open an .fs-uae with FS-UAE.exe and choosing to always open .fs-uae files in FS-UAE (since you can then start games by doubleclicking on the configuration files), or you can drag on drop configuration files on FS-UAE.exe

What can I say more than hope you will still have the time and the passion to continue to go deeply in the simplicity and efficiency for the dream of a lot of Amiga retro gamer
Waiting also your game center !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, I still have many plans and ideas I wish to see implemented. (The game center has suffered due to FS-UAE however, -I have limited available time for hobby projects..)

1.1.11 seems to be working well.
Before 1.2.0, lots of things in share are executable

Fixed

Version 1.2.0rc1 (more or less same as 1.1.11, but now with binary distributions)

Binaries for all Windows, Mac OS X and debian, plus source code here:
http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/download-beta

Release notes for 1.2 (draft):
http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/fs-uae-1-2-release-notes

Please test this version! If it looks okay, this will become 1.2.0 final, and work will continue on the new 1.3.x development branch.

Hi,

I've upgraded from 1.1.9 to 1.2rc1 now.
Pressing F12 now only follows to white menues. I cannot choose any options then. 1.1.9 worked well.

Hi, could you post the log file? Thanks.
EDIT: never mind, the Mac bundle needs a fix!

[FrodeSolheim]

Fix for resource lookup in Mac Bundle. Thank your very much for testing and reporting it.

Confirmed and fixed - Thank you

EDIT: Windows release with fix: http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...c3-windows.zip (it affects all platforms, but I provide this build just for Windows right now).

Hey Frode,

how to use this Python thing on Mac OS X? Installed both needed packages, but how to execute the attachement?

Depends on how python is configured on your system (perhaps you even can doubleclick the file), or run in a terminal:

python2.7 fs-uae-gamepad-config.py

(If you have installed Python 2.7 from python.org)

[nexusle]

Ok

I'll try this! If I doubleclick the file, xCode will open

OK, well, the only point is that you have to open the .py file in Python (and he Python-version you open it in must have wxPython and pygame packages installed).

So you can probably also right-click "Open With..." or something, or run from the terminal with python / python2.6 / python2.7 depending on what you have installed. If you can't get it started, I can probably make a standalone Mac bundle with all dependencies this evening. Time for some physical work (also doubling as exercise) now

EDIT: Oh, and all packages on http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/download-beta updated to 1.2.0rc3.

[nexusle]

Hey,

I've made a little AppleScript tool to start Frode's Python skript.

Do not change the name of the tool. It is content of the AppleScript...
