FS-UAE <= 2.9.x development series

[Dic_Ray]

Hello Frode, the Windows version runs great, but I can't run any games on Mac OS X. Launcher or Game Center starts, but when I select a game and click to start an error occurs every time. I already cleaned my Mac OS X with Clean My Mac. Do you have a glue, where's the problem. Former versions starts normally.

The same problem here also with Mac OS X

Thanks for the good bug report

Anyway, it seems my script which patches the library dependencies for FS-UAE has failed (undetected) - it works on my system of course, since I have the library installed on the system in that location.

I'll fix the problem and make new distributions for OS X!

Any idea when you'll upload the new packages?

Try these updated ones, they should fix the FS-UAE library issues

http://fs-uae.net/devel/2.3.3u1/ (only updated for OS X).

[Dic_Ray]

Thank you again for your great work. Now it runs also under Mac OS X Mountain Lion. The Game Center is really beautiful.

I recognized a Change in FS-UAE Launcher. The search field now only Shows results, when a complete word is entered, before single letters or word parts were enough. Would you revert the new search mode back to that one from before? IMHO it was more practical, to only insert parts from the game names, especially when someone doesn't know the exact Name.

Frode, you are a hero. You bring the old Amiga game feeling up to a new level. It's so great to have these gaming memories on an up to date system available in an up to date graphical user interface ready to start couch gaming. If Commodore were able to produce such a suite and would have recognized, that simplicity is what customers were looking for, they could still exist.

Hi Frode,

in WinUAE.net there is a preview of WinUAE 2.7.0. This version will support hardware emulation for Cirrus Logic gfx cards. Does FS-UAE also support this cards after WinUAE does it?

http://www.winuae.net

[amigafreak68k]

There are some bugs in this version:

1. If I want start a CD32 database game, FS-UAE boots in the CD32 intro screen. Eject and reinsert the CD image doesn't help. The game doesn't start

2. If I try to start CD32 database games from within Game Center, I see the ROM boot screen. It seems, there is the same bug as above in addition not detecting the extended ROM

[TCD]

Are your CD32 games zipped?

[amigafreak68k]

Yes and I should also say that I use the portable suite.

[TCD]

Zipped CD32 games are currently recognised, but won't work. Frode knows about the problem already. For now unpack your games and it should work.

[amigafreak68k]

But only if I use the database. If I configure a configuration locally, zipped cd images work.

[FrodeSolheim]

I have created an OAGD.net images snapshot zip which is useful for FS-UAE Launcher and FS-UAE Game Center (2.3.3 or newer). You can download the zip file with prescaled covers and screenshots here: http://oagd.net/download (when you extract it, the images then do not have to be downloaded on-demand).

You're welcome

I miss some games, but atm can't say, which one exactly.

EAB user profo managed to find a specific .lha archive which causes a crash on Windows , so I have what I need to fix this crash!

Regarding missing games, you can now search for "have:false" in FS-UAE Launcher, but this isn't really perfect, more of a hack right now ;-) Other people have also voiced an interested in seeing what one has / doesn't have of OAGD.net variants, and I'll probably make some function for this later

Thanks Just keep in mind that the Game Center is basically "alpha quality" right now, and also missing some features which were disabled for this initial launch, and needs some more work before those can be enabled. This includes:

• A function to select the game variant before starting the game.
• Browse/filter and search functions.

And regarding "beautiful", the device selection screen needs some prettifying

The new search function was "ported" from OAGD.net, which brings some benefits such as being able to search for additional search terms (common spelling errors), and can automatically "normalize" some common name variations (IV vs 4, '94 vs 1994, and vs 'n', and so on). But yes, the old search-as-you-type search was very convenient and nice too, so I'll probably try to change this so we can have the best of both approaches

The emulation code will be included in the FS-UAE source code archive when I later sync with WinUAE 2.7.0 code. Whether this will be readily available for FS-UAE use depends on how it is implemented (I haven't looked at it), but most likely, FS-UAE needs additional code to support this.

What TCD says is correct, it won't yet work with zipped CD images due to how FS-UAE Launcher uses the online database, even if zipped CD images works with FS-UAE itself (basically, FS-UAE Launcher does not correctly configure FS-UAE for this case).

The plan is to have FS-UAE Launcher copy / extract the CD files to a temporary directory before starting FS-UAE (using information from OAGD.net). This will solve some other "problems" as well, including wrong file name case in .cue files (Linux/Unix), and even if the individual CD tracks are found in different folders / archives OAGD.net will also probably include the .cue sheets themselves so the user only needs to have the .iso / audio tracks - which removes another possible problem - users having correct data / audio tracks, but an invalid cue file.

It's been a long time as work has kept me busy but I miss our brief encounters on the chat hub in FS UAE! Fro-dooo where are you? Lol

[Pyromania]

Does this finally work on the i7 Macbook Air now?

You'll have better luck on #FS-UAE on irc.abime.net I think, though I haven't seen any Tolkien characters lurking there

I searched for site:eab.abime.net pyromania fs-uae, and see you posted a problem a bit over a year ago, but did not respond to request for log files.

Anyway, there's no known problems starting FS-UAE on OS X, so I suggest you try

[bcripon]

Frode,

Is there a way to hide the games in the online database that are not on my system? I like the "click to download" functionality in the new launcher but, for me, most of the time I simply want the list to show the games that I have on my system.

Since I am not someone who has hundreds of Amiga games loaded, I would rather not have to search for the game or browse through the other games to remember if I have "game x" or not.

Also, I am unable to run FS-UAE Game Center. It says I need to load X11. Unfortunately, it will not recognize XQuartz (the open source version of X11) that is the only X11 option allowed in 10.8. Since you compile on 10.6, as I recall, you still can have X11 on your system.

I have a fresh installed Mac OS X Mountain Lion and can run FS-UAE Game Center. Which version do you try. With 2.3.3 I couldn't start, but 2.3.3u1 works for me.

Best

I downloaded the FS-UAE suite 2.3.3u1 package. I get the same X11 message when I attempt to use the "Gamepad/Joystick Setup" option in the launcher.

Ah, okay, I'll try this with my USB Competion Pro and give you feedback.

Update: It works also under Mac OS X Mountain Lion. There is only a Problem, that the FS-UAE Game Center doesn't get the Focus. So I had to use cmd+tab to switch to the right window.
