Hi,

After updating to version 2.1.17dev, my full-screen toggle stopped working. (I was on 2.1.13dev or something before).

My system is OpenSuse 12.2

[yesplease]

Hi Frode,
Auto select feels very good, thank you !! Full screen toggle cmd+enter seems broken as Goingdown reported.

Will also create nicer notifications later, but works well for now

Hi, it was a silly overflow error. You can still use F11+f or F12+f to toggle full-screen. Alt/Cmd modifier will be fixed in 2.1.18dev!

[FrodeSolheim]

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.1.18dev:

• Fixed overflow preventing alt/cmd modifier key from working.
• Updated translations: es [albconde].
• (Launcher) No floppy drive sounds when loading a WHDLoad variant from the online database.
• (Launcher) Updated translations: es [albconde].

(made the new release mainly to fix the alt/cmd issue)

[Goingdown]

Wow, you are super fast! Thanks. I did not know about the F12+f...

Is there list of shortcut keys somewhere?

Also, I have question: I use whdload to launch most games. In some of them, the QUIT button is "printscreen". In fs-uae prinscreen grabs screenshot. Now, does anyone know how I can press printscreen under Amiga? Is it mapped to different button?

Thanks!

The Amiga Prt Sc button is shared with Amiga numpad multiply, which should be mapped to the multiply button on your numpad.

Hi Frode,

could you please add a button for the AmigaMemo link in the next release please? I think, it was simply forgotten

[nexusle]

In latest dev release there are only 2 floppy drives mapped?! Could you please check this, Frode?

Actually, I didn't add it because it's starting to get a bit crowded (with the number of buttons), so I thought I'd wait and see if want to change the link section, perhaps use a drop-down list instead...

Yes, I discovered and fixed this yesterday:
* Fixed a bug related to the number of floppy drive count, introduced with the support for custom floppy sounds.
(I accidentally deleted a source code line when first implenting this..)

[nexusle]

Ok, so I can stop searching for this error on my machine! Thanks!

[FrodeSolheim]

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.1.19dev:

• Fix proper stereo audio output when using OpenAL soft implementation.
• Automatically adjust to 50Hz / 60Hz Amiga mode change.
• video_sync = full is deprecated (now handled as auto), will enable full video sync only when host frame rate ~= Amiga frame rate.
• Fixed a bug with the number of enabled floppy drives, introduced with the support for custom floppy sounds.
• Some minor source code and build improvements.
• Experimental support for a “fifth joystick port”, which can be mapped to Amiga keyboard keys.

Thanks!

Of course I am using laptop with no numpad. I will try to see if the laptop "virtual" numpad works with this.

EDIT. Yes, it works. When I put "numlock" on, I can use P key (numpad multiply). Great.

hello there,
Trying to get fs-uae working on my laptop running crunchbang.

got 2.0.1 of both fs-uae and the launcher working fine by just installing the debain .deb files. The only problem was the mouse was far too sensitive.

Read on forum that the new version, 2.1.19, has an option to change the mouse sensitivity but when i installed and tried to run the 2.1.19 launcher, I just getting a message saying ImportError: No module named Image.

Can anyone help me please? please note i am fairly new to all this...
thank you

Hi, this can be fixed by installing the python Imaging (PIL) package. PIL is actually not used, and I see that it is accidentally imported in a module. This will be fixed in 2.1.20. But to make 2.1.19 work as is, just install PIL!

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.1.20dev:

• Implemented bsdsocket_library support for Windows.
• New LED/overlays: CDTV/32 memory access, vsync, fps, audio.
• Flicker CD LED instead of HD LED when CDFS is used.
• New modes for LED / overlays (overlays can have several states).
• Improved scanline renderer (but also more resource hungry..), may become optional or rewritten as a GPU shader.
• Fixed bug selecting joystick port mode for port > 0 (2.1.19).
• Fixed stuttering in RTG modes (2.1.19).
• Fixed scanline rendering on bigendian computers (PPC).
• Clear video buffer on target_graphics_buffer_update, e.g. when display mode switches from PAL to NTSC. Fixes garbled graphics on bottom of display.
• Allow theme config to overwrite (default) values set by Launcher.
• (Launcher) Removed unnused dependency on Python Imaging (PIL).

Not at all. If CDROM is a data CDROM, HDD LED will flicker. If CDROM have audio tracks and they are played, CDROM LED is flicker.

This also isn't fixed

[FrodeSolheim]

@nexusle: 100% sure you're running 2.1.20? Log?

[nexusle]

Sorry!! I had a old 2.1.19dev in my download folder and this one starts, if i double click a config. My fail!!

Both problems are fixed!!
