It could be due to a lot of reasons:
Your PC doesn't support loading from USB HDD Bios settings are wrong Bios not supporting USB HDD for boot USB HDD has a filesystem that is not compatible with syslinux live boot No boot mbr in USB HDD It could be anything. But the purpose of amilator is not to boot from external HDD but from a pendrive. PS. Windows XP and aros are INSTALLED to the hard disk so they inject their boot loader. This is a live USB. |

Thank you for the hint. Works great on 4.12-3. I must be blind. |

Has anyone got FS-UAE to start up with a USB joystick specified? There is the option joystick_port_1 = <stick name> but it doesn't work for me - but then, I don't know what FS-UAE thinks it's called as the name is too long to fit in the sidebar...
It states it's "A SPEED-LINK COMPETITION P" but what comes after that is anyone's guess - setting that in joystick_port_1 in the config file certainly doesn't work (Nor does A SPEED-LINK COMPETITION PRO" or "SPEED-LINK COMPETITION PRO" ) - no host device on startup. Anyone managed to get it to work? Or know how to list connected sticks? uae-configuration lists the joystick_port_1 option as "nothing" even when the stick is selected and working. |

Hi, the device name can vary depending on OS. You can check in fs-uae.log.txt what the full name is (since it’s too long for the UI). You’ll see something like this:
Code:
... [INPUT] fs_ml_input_init [INPUT] fs_ml_mouse_init [INPUT] Adding system mouse [INPUT] Joystick device count: 1 [INPUT] SDL_JoystickGetDeviceGUID(0) = 030000000b0400003365000000010000 [INPUT] SDL_JoystickOpen(0) [INPUT] Joystick device #01 found: MOSIC SPEED-LINK COMPETITION PRO [INPUT] 4 buttons 0 hats 2 axes 0 balls [INPUT] Joystick instance ID = 0 [INPUT] Initialize ... Code:
joystick_port_1 = MOSIC SPEED-LINK COMPETITION PRO (Note: with only one joystick connected, it should also automatically be inserted into port 1 if you don’t specify devices for ports…) |

Yep, got it. Thanks Frode.
Now to see if I can build a complete Launcher option for the main menu with screenshots and box art... There's a lot of space left on that USB drive Wow, 20GB+ for a (nearly) complete set - that's insane! Is there any way for FS-UAE to import only the files it needs into its portable directory structure, leaving the files that are not necessary for the Arcade front end out of the distribution?

FS_UAE standalone Usb to H/Drive
Hi Guys,
Has anyone set this up on a dedicated Linux Pc yet? I was wondering if it would be best using one of the light distro's that are used for the raspberry pi3, then install it on a Hardrive and using the configs that #nobody has created to get it to run ?. Iam pretty new to linux but willing to try if it is ,at all possible ? I hope to get a Pc booting straight into a A1200 style config, then link it up to my 1200 with serial connection. #nobody .. thanks for the time you have spent getting it this far Edit:just want the lightest and quickest system to run it on..

I'm currently looking (on and off, I'm pretty busy with work atm) getting this running from HD. Looks pretty simple to do, but I've not actually tried yet.
I'm also looking to have a boot option for FS-UAE Arcade with a full gamebase set - I'm close to getting that now, but still missing some of the education titles. We also need to start looking at a proper boot system to replace the menu. GfxBoot from syslinux/isolinux looks to be able to fit the bill. |

Ciao FrodeSolheim, sorry if I bother you, i'd like to ask you some questions
- On FS-UAE you can use a WebCam as on WinUAE? - How to activate UAE 16Bit HiFi Stereo in AHI Prefs on FS-UAE ? - Why can not I set up a UAE Zorro III video card with OS4 on FS-UAE? Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 19 October 2017 at 18:13. |

Here's the process I used: Exit FS-UAE after boot using F12 and then up arrow key to get to the "X" icon, and then Enter to exit. Back at the Debian Live prompt, enter root and then root to gain access to the terminal. NOTE: You may have to exit FS-UAE a few times. This is because the system is set to restart FS-UAE after exit, but most times you'll have a couple of minutes before it restarts. When it does, just use F12 to exit again - the terminal you're working at is multi-tasking and you'll not even lose your command line. Prepare the HDD - ls /dev/sd* Which will probably output /dev/sda as one of the options. If the drive is already partitioned, then /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 etc may be listed. fdisk /dev/sda then n, p, 1 then t to change type, then c to set Win95 FAT32 (vfat) then a, 1 to set it bootable then w to save all changes. Now install the boot loader - dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=/usr/lib/SYSLINUX/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda Now copy everything over - cd / mkdir /media/disk mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/disk cp -a /amiga/* /media/disk Now install Syslinux - syslinux -i /dev/sda1 Now power off, remove the USB drive and reboot.

Good but squashfs is a frozen filesystem so fs-uae cannot be upgraded. The proper way is to install a basic commands line Linux (Debian) and install fs-uae and create some scripts to do the rest

Hi there.
I just discovered Amilator (owned Amithlon in the past). After a little configuration of the FS-UAE side, it runs perfectly like an old A500. Will try it more but actually want to thank you for the job done !! :-) |

Ok, I read further and got the syslinux toolchain set up and used it to init and setup my MBR, and now it does boot and shows the splash screen but when it starts to load fs-uae it just hangs then complains about a file being corrupted:
XZ-Compressed data is corrupt -- System Halted After like 5 minutes of waiting... Any ideas? Last edited by fstltna; 01 December 2017 at 03:29. Reason: Partially solved... |

Just for the heck of it I tried a 64gb drive and it worked fine, as far as booting up goes. But I see a message about the HD not being found. I copied the WB 3.9 files into the harddir/Workbench folder, is there something else I am supposed to do?
--- update --- I tried adding on a .hdf hard drive and the error about the hard drive (which was a cdrom, not a hd) and enabled the real cdrom to use a .iso of wb3.9, and that is being seen properly too, but none of the drives actually start up - I just get a black screen. What do i need to check next? the floppy /floppies/mount folder works so-so, enought to let me see it is seeing the files in it. And lastly when booting up or restarting fs-uae I get a message: NOTIFY_USER MSG# 2 What does this mean? Last edited by fstltna; 01 December 2017 at 20:24. Reason: Updated status... |

Anyone want to do a USB thumb drive swap? I will send you a brand new 32gb drive and you can send me one that is already set up... Would like to get this working soon...
