fs-uae - a new multi-platform amiga emulator for games!

I'm about to send you the log file (too big )

I got the log file on email

The relevant bit:

DISK_get_saveimagepath returning C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\FS-UAE\Floppy Overlays/GENERIC.sdf

FS-UAE does not write data back to the .adf files, it saves changed data to sdf files in "Floppy Overlays" instead. Advantage: original adf files are unmodified, and you can revert to the original data by just deleing the .sdf file. Also, FS-UAE behaves the same whether you are using .ipf-images (which are read-only anyway) or .adf-images).

(I like this behavior, but I can make it configurable if there is demand for read/write ADF)

But what has happened here, is that you are using GENERIC.adf as the floppy name. Changes to that floppy has been saved to GENERIC.sdf. My guess: you have replaced GENERIC.adf with another disk. -But some data on this second disk would be shadowed by the changed saved in GENERIC.sdf.

Solution: delete GENERIC.sdf or rename the ADF file to a unique name.
Recommendation: use unique names for your floppy images.

It works, genius
Is it currently possible to add a read-only attribute to the HDF files? (like a switch: ro/rw)

Not in current versions, but easy for me to add to the next release!

how to make my usb ps2 controler working plz ? it's plugged with an usb/ps2 adapter :

lsusb give me : Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0925:8866 Lakeview Research WiseGroup Ltd, MP-8866 Dual Joypad

and it's attached to /dev/input/js1

help !

edit: found !

added wisegroup_ltd_mp_8866_dual_usb_joypad.ini to /usr/share/fs-uae/input/wisegroup_ltd/ and my ps2 controler works

[device]
name = wisegroup_ltd_mp_8866_dual_usb_joypad
type = joystick/gamepad

[default]
include = wisegroup_ltd/tigergame_ps_ps2_game_controller_adapter

you can add it now

>Frode: Is it possible to use spaces in the ADF/HDF/Kickstart names? (config file) If not: fix planned?
Thanks

[nexusle]

maybe work's with ""?

Thanks

All my ADFs and kickstarts are TOSEC so full of spaces, and they work fine in all OSes for me without quotes...

[seuden]

Awesome work FS, can't wait to give it a try.

file support to Adf/Ipf in compressed format might be a good implementation

[Foul]

i cloned my Real Amiga A1200 HD to an hd.adf .. and it boot and work well !

Amazing !

Need A1200-060 version now

edit: one bug found : when i pause a game for a long time (>5 mins) , i return to game and it's toooooo fast !!! seems to work @ machine speed, no fps limit. Same thing with all games.

i'm using Version 0.9.11beta3

It's the same to me... had to pause during a game of Bubble Bobble and when resuming, it was so fast that we lost our lives within seconds...


Frode,
just a minor issue: fs-uae remembers the last menu item chosen and when re-opening the menu, you start at the same menu item.
When chosing a floppy or cd image, I think it would be more convenient when you don't enter the image selection list directly but go to the menu top level on next menu entry.

Best regards
Peter

Hi FrodeSolheim,

Thanks a lot for your great work ! Now I can have my good'ol Amiga with me everywhere I go on my ASUS 1001PXD (revamped to 2Gb of RAM instead of 1, and Windows 7 Starter kicked out by Ubuntu amd64 11.10). I've been using FS-UAE since version 0.9.7, it was a bit laggy, but It got improved and runs (almost) smoothly now with 0.9.11beta3 (with settings accuracy = -1, and sync = off)

The only problem I have is I can't get my "Xbox 360 Wired Controller" to work, I have tried :

joystick_port_1 = MICROSOFT X-BOX 360 PAD

or

joystick_port_1 = auto

None of those worked and I have to confess I didn't understood the config file part (especially for the file name, I tried to rename my Controller files "MICROSOFT X-BOX 360 PAD", "MICROSOFT X-BOX 360 PAD.ini" and "microsoft_x_box_360_pad.ini" taken from the tut.)

A better, ask by a lazy me question : Do you have one that works for ubuntu 11.10 and the XBOX 360 wired controller ?
Another couple of questions, i don't have any coding skills but is there a way for me to help your project or contribute ? and do you plan to add support for (7)zipped adfs ?

Native support for compressed files would be great, an alternative might be to implement such support on a frontend by extracting a compressed file on the fly to a temporary folder and then read the file extracted by the emulator.

I just tried-it on a MS Windows machine with option :

joystick_port_1 = CONTROLLER (XBOX 360 FOR WINDOWS)

With no success...

Heeeeelp

[Foul]

with my SF IV controler, i can use it in the menu but not in the game !

Weird...

Must investigate...

[smuj]

At the moment fs-uae makes adf files writeable (rw-r--r--) seemingly whether it needs to or not. Since it uses sdf files for writing anyway couldn't it just leave permissions untouched? I always set them read-only (r--r--r--), seems sensible

Regarding zipped adfs, e-uae handled those so the code is out there.

Also, tigergame_ps_ps2_game_controller_adapter.ini is executable.

Thanks FS

[Foul]

is there a way to use "real" Amiga hds ?

hard_drive_n = /dev/sda per exemple

Maybe planned ?

Thx

edit: My god it's Working !!! I can boot on my sdcard !!!

I'm HAPPY ^^
