Small bug in FS-UAE Launcher 2.9.1dev.
It won't show the listed configurations (but the configs are saved into ~/FS-UAE/Configurations. It just won't up in the list.

Confirmed. Stupid bug, fixed in GIT. Will release 2.9.2dev soon

[FrodeSolheim]

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.9.2dev:

• New boolean option warp_mode (warp_mode = 1 to start in warp mode).
• Try ralphschmidt-cyberstorm-ppc-4471.rom if cyberstormppc.rom is not found.
• Imported updated translations from crowdin.com.

Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 2.9.2dev:

• Try ralphschmidt-cyberstorm-ppc-4471.rom if cyberstormppc.rom is not found.
• Also look for ralphschmidt-cyberstorm-ppc-4471.rom in Amiga Forever dir.
• Fix file name when saving controller configs on macOS.
• Fix configurations not showing up since 2.9.1dev.
• Indicate unpublished variants in variants list.
• When enabling “unpublished” entries, list unpublished variants last.
• Imported updated translations from crowdin.com.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On Osx AmigaOs4.1F work correctly (without UAE extensions) if I apply Update 1, AmigaOs stop working... hang on start flashing screen without massages.

How did you update it? You have to download the update archive to disk, uncompress it to disk, and run the update software there. The Amiga software updater tries unarchiving the lha to ram: and runs out of space.

I follow this (correct) steps! But I have one news... my hardfile is corrupt and is not readable is not a fs-uae problem, but I not know the cause

I have stability problems with filesystem emulation. Steps to reproduce the crash:

1. Prepare a filesystem with tens of thousands files - like OS 3.9 + AISS + GeekGadgets + NDK 3.9 + etc.
2. Try to compress everything using LHA (this was my original use case) or just take util/cli/MakeList from AmiNet (http://aminet.net/package/util/cli/MakeList) and try to generate file list for such a file system (crashes faster).

FS-UAE segfaults every time for me, on a random file. It doesn't look like Amiga-side problem, as copying all the files to RAM disk and doing the operation on files stored there works correctly (I have tried ram-handler 44.23 with Thomas Richter patch and AmberRAM from AmiNet - both work).

Logs and backtrace in the attachment.

It does not crash anymore. But i'm still having issues with filenames containing the % char. For example:

%30
10%full
100%c0mplete
50% junk
it is at 20%.txt

Not enough stack? UAE filesystem needs much more stack than most other "normal" filesystems.

@jbl007 - this is from 2.9.1; I have 2.9.3 (I didn't tell my configuration as the logs contains everything). Initially I also though I might have problem with some filename and tried to isolate it - but without success. At certain point smaller portions of data were all compressed correctly.

I think my problem is caused by large amount of certain operations within short time, damaging the emulator process memory. I can copy all the files from the filesystem to RAM disk, and it works OK. It seems to me that LHA (contrary to the Copy command) starts by indexing all the files, which triggers the crash.

@Toni - I have StackAttack 49152 in my Startup-Sequence. Besides, error inside the emulated environment shouldn't cause the emulator to crash... from the backtrace and the source code I can see the glibc aborted the program during free(...) call, probably after detecting memory corruption.

Hi.
In CDTV mode I can not use a floppy disk drive.

Hi,

I'm using 2.9.3dev and I'm having an issue running AMOS from an RTG workbench. When switching to the AMOS screen; FS-UAE crashes - the debugger states:

Exception thrown at 0x000000000049A788 in fs-uae.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x000000000E1A4E20.

There is no problem launching AMOS from an AGA workbench, which I'm doing now. And I've only tried with AMOS Professional 2.0.

Hi frode,

I can not move the amiga mouse anymore.

Issue is on Mac 10.12.3 launcher version is 2.9.2 and also 2.9.3

I reverted back to version 2.7.3 where I can move the amiga mouse pointer again.

Did I miss something ? Some migration script for mouses ?

EDIT: Oh I found it. It was an old mouse setting in the "Erweiterte Einstellungen". I deleted it and now mouse works also on 2.9.2/3

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 2.9.4dev:

• Try to use config from game database when launching with a WHDLoad archive.
• New startup argument –no-auto-detect-game to disable the above feature.
• Save directory based on archive name when launching with an archive.
• Fixed a bug where rating icons could disappear from variants list.
• New option whdload_preload, defaults to 1 (change in behavior).
• More language flags for the status bar.
• New option to toggle close buttons in dialogs.
• New reset to defaults button on settings pages (GUI does not update yet).

Changes in FS-UAE Arcade 2.9.4dev:

• New option arcade_initial_favorites to start with favorites filter.
• New startup argument –favorites to show the favorites list directly.
• Show game lists in FS-UAE Arcade (favorites, etc).
• New option arcade_theme (=blue/red).
• Fixed aspect correction toggle button.

You need to re-run the file scanner (and game scanner) when updating to this version.
Regarding the favorites functionality, there is no UI to add/remove favorites in the the Launcher/Arcade yet. But you can filter by favorites. For now, favorite games can be added/removed at https://openretro.org/user/favorites and the launcher will sync down this list when updating the game database.

Hello,

I am running fs-uae-launcher 2.9.4dev on arch linux.
My problem is that (in games like Chaos Engine, Sensible Soccer), the down+right+fire and up+left+fire does not work, only the left+down+fire and up+right+fire.
Is it a configuration problem (I am quite new to fsuae) or a bug?

Thanks!

[Goingdown]

I recently installed OpenSUSE tumbleweed on one of my computers. It seems that FS-UAE devel opensuse tumbleweed repo is not up to date - fs-uae is version 2.9.4 but Launcher and Arcade are still version 2.9.2.

EDIT. After some investigation, it seems that all OpenSUSE repos are same way providing outdated versions of Launcher and Arcade... Maybe build problem?

It could in theory be a problem with your keyboard (i.e. that it cannot recognize those combinations). If each key works fine by itself, that's the most likely explanation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollover_(key) for more information. You can perhaps test it here: http://www.gigahype.com/nkey-rollover-test-page/

Right, there is a build error there, thanks for pointing it out.. will fix
