Just thought you might like to know.

Many thanks for your efforts FS

Thanks for letting me know

Have you created your own config? If so, can you post it? Also please post the config file.

I just tweaked the default config slightly, though made no changes to the input settings which are still set to auto.

Actually if I disable USB Overdrive, my joypad stops working altogether. Turns out the direction buttons only worked earlier because they were mapped to the keyboard cursors. In theory I could map the first fire button to 'control' and do it that way, but USB Overdrive won't let me.

EDIT: OK, so "USB Overdrive" is an application that maps joystick events to keyboard key presses.

Well, you can either:

a) Stop using USB Overdrive and create a config for your Logitech controller: http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/custom...-configuration

b) Use Overdrive and map another key to the fire button, and use overdrive to map a joystick button to this key, for instance:

keyboard_key_pagedown = action_joy_1_fire_button

and then use this "USB Overdrive" application to map the joystick button to page down.

Version 1.1.9

* Merged updated code from filesys.cpp isofs.cpp and isofs_api.h, fixes crash when inserting CD image.
* Fix screenshot saving when buffers are BGRA.
* new option to choose between video sync methods (video_sync_method).
* Use older video sync method as default
* New default port for net play: 25100 (the port range from 25100 to 25500 is by default used for the new net play service).
* New options fullscreen_width, fullscreen_height (especially useful to force output to one display only on a Linux/nVIDIA/twinview setup).

Version 1.1.8

* Always load default host-specific configuration values from Host.fs-uae, if it exists (useful for fullscreen settings, etc).
* Support replacement prefix $config in paths - will be replaced by the directory containing the current configuration file.
* Boolean options ("1" or "0") can now be simplified when specifying as program arguments as --arg (same as --arg=1) or --no-arg (same as --arg=0). For instance you can just use --fullscreen or --no-fullscreen.

Notes

For optimal performance, I recommend testing the new video_sync_method (documented here: http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/video-options). For instance, for Linux/nVIDIA, I recommend using swap_fence or swap_sleep_fence. The default method works like in version 1.1.5 and earlier.

If you have more than one configuration, I recommend moving common options (such as fullscreen settings, scanlines, video_sync_method, etc) to the new Host.fs-uae config file (which is always read in addition to Default.fs-uae or the specifically loaded config file). This will make it easier to share configuration files with others without including settings specific for your own system.

I did not rested carefully but from fast run everything seems to be ok, but why application icon disapeared? Do you forgot to inclde some resources in Windows version?

[Foul]

is F11 broken ? no effect here since 1.1.9..

[AmigaOnline]

The FS-UAE icon has disappeared And the readme file format has probably changed (Windows/not readable with notepad anymore)

FS-UAE was built on another box (Windows XP) and the icon-patch-script corrupted the exe-file for some reason, so I disabled it.

It has another behavior, should now change viewport setting. Input can be released with alt+tab or middle mouse button.

Well, it should be readable.. but I see that the source code was checked out on the build box without LF->CRLF conversion.. -will fix it for the next build.

EDIT: icon and text file line endings are fixed and the 1.1.9 zip for windows is updated (the executable is otherwise identical).

I took Toni's advice and have merged these files (from 2.4.1beta9) into the latest version 1.1.9 -Looks good here, no crash for me!. Nexusle, test when ready

Good But another icon is missing

You're quite right -Thanks for noticing. I have once again cheated and replaced the 1.1.9 archive with a similar one, where this icon is fixed.

This version of FS-UAE is definitely the best release.
The video runs smoothly.
Frode as usual impeccable job

THIS is a very good feature too!!!

I'll test CDROM today's evening...

Hi Frode,

it looks like there is no source download for 1.1.9 (I found a 1.1.8 though) ?

So quick, thanks !

Here is version 1.1.10, a source-only release including some small Linux-specific enhancements:

* Request dark window manager theme (GNOME 3) -looks cooler.
* Added .desktop application launcher file for Linux.
* Added FS-UAE icon (in different sizes) to the icons/hicolor folders.
* Set window icon via _NET_WM_ICON on Linux.
* Fixed bug when scanline (dark/light) intensity was set to 0.
* Removed a couple leftover glEnd causing GL errors (not noticeable).
* Changed the way shared data files are looked up -compatible with the XDG standard now.
* Don't trust refresh rate from xrandr with only one mode in mode list.
