fs-uae and Launchbox

methodman · 31 May 2019, 19:06

I have been following Mugenmush 's tutorial about getting fs-uae working and he creates 2 forks of using fs-uae, Should I actually install two seperate instances of fs-uae labeled according the premade configs vs the one's I need to make myself to get games working? or can I reference both forks to the same emulator?

Anything else I should know about that isn't in this fantastic amiga video?

maybe you want to ask this somewhere at launchbox. at least they took your money so they can give support aswell.

Hi Methodman, you don't need 2 install fs-uae twice. All you do is add another emulator in the settings and label this one fsuae 1 or something.

The settings for this one will run your own configs whereas the other one you can use to import fsuae configs.

I would advice you to watch their tutorial here:

To be sure to import the games as well as possible I'd say go check out the config-exporter here:

I just set this up myself following the video. It's a great video but it's almost 3 years old so it's already a little outdated.

The example he uses is Cyber Assault, as it didn't have a config set up on openretro.org at the time. The database has been updated in those 3 years so it DOES have a config now. I haven't yet come across a game where I need to make a custom config (using a full WHDLoad only set) so I've only set up one instance of the emulator in Launchbox.

Now, the Launchbox database is a different story, if it could scrape Hall Of Light for game info it would be amazing as I'm finding a lot of games where I need to manually import screenshots, box art and metadata.
