I'm HAPPY ^^

Hello Foul,

is your SD-Card Amiga formatted or is it something like FAT or a Linux file system?

Best regards,
Peter

Foul · 09 March 2012, 13:01

i used my sdcard (with ide/sd-card adapter) on my A1200. The Card is PFS3 formated and work with no problem at all

I'm using Kubuntu 11.10 64bits as primary system, and to boot on it, i'm using a simple sd-card/Usb reader

Only missing thing is maprom" to be able to use Blitzkick

Okay,

I just connected my old A4k hard drive via IDE-USB-Adapter to the Linux PC and configured /dev/sdk as harddrive - but it did not work :-(

PHabermehl · 09 March 2012, 20:26

Frode - I need urgent HELP :-)

I configured my usb competition pro as joystick_0 and my usb gamepad as joystick_1...

But the ADF I want to play has a anti-virus boot sector and awaits a lmb click. But I do not have a mouse since fs-uae does not map the port0 joystick button to lmb as the real amiga would do...

I need to change port0 from mouse to joystick while fs-uae running OR a mouse emulation when 2 joysticks are plugged in...

Best regards,
Peter

Hi! -Have been in Trondheim for work this week, and haven't had time to do any Amiga-related activities. But now that I'm back home in Førde, FS-UAE releases will ensue.

Thanks

Hi, as you've already been told by others on the forum: yes, you can

-And non-ASCII charactacters should work as well, as long as the config is saved in UTF-8 encoding. (Do not use "" around paths, in this case, FS-UAE will look for files with " in the name. Also, rembember to escape backlashes in paths).

I am have very little interest in this myself (just makes checksumming the actual content harder, etc, and space is not a problem nowadays anyway IMO), but on the other hand, it might be simple for me to wire in existing code for it...

Actually, you can test the undocumented model "SUPER" (amiga_model = SUPER) -this will give you an A1200/040 running in fastest possible mode. Let's just say that it is officially supported yet, but hopefully works fine (it did when I tested it).

That's one bug point to you (more bug points == better!). Will fix this today, and then release a new stable version.

Foul · 10 March 2012, 13:08

One more bug point : when you "Save States", fs-uae simply quit. When you reload it, you load the saved states, it freeze and you cannot exit fs-uae !!! you can navigate into the menu but "X" button not responding...

It is possible that UAE code changes file permissions... -I will have a look at it.

I don't know what this does, but if it is an existing feature of UAE, I might be able to include support for it? How do I test if "maprom" works, if I try enabling this?

I haven't specifically coded in support for mounting real partitions/devices, but fortunately, the Unix/Linux philosophy of exposing devices as files allows such functionality without any extra code.
- The user you are running as must have read (and write, if you want to) permissions to /dev/sdk
- I haven't added support for overriding the geometry yet, and it is possible your drive uses a "non-standard" geometry. -But I do not know how you check what geometry to use. Perhaps someone else can help with this?

I will have to check why the emulator does not behave as a real Amiga in this regard... -Input menu will take some time to fix, but I am planning to add this during this weekend

This is not common. Save states works for me, and I believe for many others as well. Could you post config and log file?

just try to use BlizKick to test maprom feature

"I will add support for .adz files in the next beta."

.dms too ?

edit : attached logs

edit2: only bug using my hdf file ! with floppy no "save states" prob

FrodeSolheim · 10 March 2012, 16:11

Same as last beta (0.9.11beta3), plus the following changes:
* Configuration option to mount hard drive image/folder read only.
* Fixed bug where emulation after pause ran too fast in non-full-sync-modes.
* Added wisegroup_ltd/mp_8866_dual_usb_joypad.ini (courtesy of Foul).

Are you sure about this? I tested with an ADF requiring a LMB click on start, and it worked fine with a joystick configured in joystick_port_0 (pressing fire on the joystick...)

Foul · 10 March 2012, 16:31

v0.9.12 working well for now, still tracking bugs

is there a way to get all console options available ?

fs-uae --help per exemple would be cool

All options listed here http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/configuration can be specified both in config files and on the command line.

You can use joystick_port_0 = value in a configuration file, or
--joystick_port_0=value (or --joystick-port-0=value) on the command line.

Options specified on the command line overrides configuration file.

Other than this, the only extra parameter you can use is a path to a configuration file to use (fs-uae /path/to/config)

Foul · 10 March 2012, 16:49

ok cool

Thank you so much for you reply, here are the files. I updated FS-UAE to the latest 0.9.12 version and still have the same issue. As I run ubuntu, the fs-uae.conf is situated in my "~/.config/fs-uae" folder and the two other files are taken from my "Documents/FS-UAE" folder.

As I possibly didn't understood the controller config part, I added the files, but still couldn't get my controllers (i have a black and a white one, which work flawlessly on the same PC with other games and on my 360) to work.

Hi! -I found two problems with FS-UAE:
1. The name of the bundled xbox pad config file for Linux was missing a "-"
2. Custom configs from FS-UAE/Controllers dir was not read unless they were in a subdir to Controllers

EDIT: I have posted 0.912u1 at http://fengestad.no/wp/fs-uae/download

Please try this one -and thank you for reporting the bug

With this version, your custom configuration will be loaded. But I noticed that it differs very much from the bundled X-Box 360 config. If your butting mapping seems wrong when playing, you should delete your custom config (and the bundled config will be loaded instead -it is now renamed so it should be recognized correctly).

Foul · 10 March 2012, 23:20

i'm testing network play with AmigaOnline and found another bug :

fs-uae under linux don't check repertories but find kickstarts/adf etc one parent repertory !!

weird :\

fs-uae by default is installed in : /home/foul/FS-UAE/ (and not /home/foul/documents/FS-UAE) and if i put one floppy in /home/foul/FS-UAE/, it can't find it ! but in /home/foul/ yes !

FS-UAE uses glib functions to find the documents dir. If this fails, it falls back to the home directory. What Linux distro / desktop environment do you use?

This is probably not a bug -Where FS-UAE find floppies with relative paths depends on what you have put in your config file, and how FS-UAE is started. If you post config and logs, I can be more specific.

Thank you so much for your fast reply and update - Wow, you rock !

I don't dare to ask if you plan to add (7)zip support ?

Good night, sweet dreams, my dear friend Frode...

When you start FS-UAE, the current directory is set to /home/foul:

Code:

current directory is /home/foul

So if you have

Code:

floppy_drive_0 = Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (1990)(Gremlin).adf

The relative path "Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (1990)(Gremlin).adf" will be opened from the current working directory (/home/foul). The following would work for you:

Code:

floppy_drive_0 = FS-UAE/Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (1990)(Gremlin).adf

(and similar for the kickstart)

What kind of zip support? Zipped hard drive volumes are supported right now, and zipped ADFs (adz) is implemented and will be released soon as part of 0.9.13beta1
