FS-UAE <= 2.9.x development series

[Romanujan]

That worked, thanks!

Hey, great work so far.

Somehow the most recent Mac version does not show the list of Configurations anymore.

2.7.7 did show the list and if I use that to select a config 2.7.14 seems to pick that up.

Any hints what is wrong?

Hi Frode

I'm trying to work out a problem I'm having, I've installed 2.7.14dev2 on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 (using the devel PPA). I got everything setup and working OK, but my problem is that when I try and run a whdload game it loads up as if it wants to run, but it then goes on to a software failure, but if I alt-tab out and replace the whdload exe in /tmp/fs-uaexxxx and press the mouse button it'll load and you can play.

I removed the cache dir under~/home/documents/fs-uae and started fsuae-launcher to no avail, same problem. Looks as if it doesn't download a valid whdload file

EDIT: fixed it, found that replacing the "downloaded" whdload with one from the website made whdload games work

EDIT2: Seems EDIT1 works only for games I alt-tab out of and fix it that way. If I launch a new game I need to alt tab out of it to make it work. Hopefully someone can show me in the right direction to fix it for all the games

Strange problem you have... It works for me. The launcher correctly downloads whdload exe 18.2 to

FS-UAE/Cache/Downloads/0a9/0a9e7bfa1183420543e44c08410af1c5500fa704

. If you replace it, it shouldn't get re-downloaded again. However if you do this, it's not really fixed, only work-arounded . Perhaps attach log file, so we can see what went wrong.

Got it working. removed everything redownloaded fs-uae from the ppa and purged /home/document/FS-UAE, and now it works

Is anyone using FS-UAE with the open source AMDGPU driver on Ubuntu 16.04 with the Padoka PPA? This month some time, a change in mesa git has prevented fs-uae from launching. In the terminal, the last thing I see is:

setting gwwpagesize to something...

.. and then the fs-uae window locks up on a simple black screen (nothing was displayed). The fs-uae task sits there using ~24% CPU according to top, but doesn't cause the CPU to clock up to maximum frequency. The GPU (in my case a Radeon 380X) is also idle at lowest pstate at this point. Other OpenGL apps work fine, including Unigine Valley, and of course compiz. This lockup does not occur when using the AMDGPU-PRO driver, nor the shipped open source AMDGPU support in Ubuntu 16.04. This may be an indication of a bug incoming for Ubuntu 16.10 however, since it will use an updated version of mesa etc?

My system is an AMD FX-8350, AMD Radeon 380X 4Gb running Ubuntu 16.04 fully updated, plus the Padoka PPA (mesa-git and updated LLVM).

Is there something I can do to help pinpoint the bug? I'm thinking it's an OpenGL related bug. apitrace perhaps? I've never done any debugging like this, but happy to follow instructions.

edit: I ran fs-uae-launcher with apitrace, then used qapitrace to inspect the output. fs-uae only gets to render 3 frames as far as I can tell, and on the third frame, there's this:

1490 @0 glFenceSync(condition = GL_SYNC_GPU_COMMANDS_COMPLETE, flags = 0) = 0x8aba220
1491 @0 glFlush()
1492 @0 glClientWaitSync(sync = 0x8aba220, flags = GL_SYNC_FLUSH_COMMANDS_BIT, timeout = 0) = GL_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED
1493 @0 glClientWaitSync(sync = 0x8aba220, flags = 0x0, timeout = 0) = GL_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED
.....
15561 @0 glClientWaitSync(sync = 0x8aba220, flags = 0x0, timeout = 0) = GL_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED


With further testing .. it's glFenceSync that's causing the problem. Setting the sync method to something that doesn't involve fences, lets fs-uae start fine.

edit: I have opened a bug against mesa for this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97461

Marek Olšák has proposed a patch to the radeon driver that fixes the issue with fs-uae waiting infinitely. This fix will probably end up in mesa git (and therefore the Padoka PPA) very soon. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97461

Frode, I'm not sure if it's relevant at all to FS-UAE at this point? Driver bug.

[TEOL]

WHD Dev Version 18.3 for the dev version of FS-UAE seeing as it uses the dev versions of WinUAE for it's code?!!!!?

Anyway there is one operating system bug I've found it's on the 3.00 Rom on the A1200 computer.

Needs a CPU with 32-Bit Addressing my arse it does as it should be one. It's obviously an A600 config for the 3.00 system running under the 32-Bit label when it's a 16-Bit 3.00 config.

Requires 68020 to be added to the config like the real A1200 3.00 I think to make it run as it should run like because at the moment it's like an A1200 in ECS mode or an A600 but it should be an AGA config although techniqely is both on the real thing via a menu.

Sounds like it was a driver bug, yes, great debugging work

Was there ever a fix for the full screen changing on Mac OS X ? It now hijacks the screen it's loaded from as opposed to creating it's own separate screen/space.

Hi, tbh i'm not sure if 2.8.0 is now the latest dev or stable version. It looks to me like the latest dev version is lower then the latest 'stable' version ?

Anyway, my problem is that i cannot get network/internet access to work reliably on my fs-uae/opensuse leap41.2 / AmigaOS4.1FE setup. Downloads are always corrupted.

And pinging doesn't work at all. I do use the ethernet.lha package and a2065 network card option.

Is it just me or is this a generic problem ?

Thank you,

Thanks, however having that setting in Settings -> Advanced Settings makes no difference at all with either D mode or F mode.

With Setting
F = Takes over screen, cannot switch screens, blanks 2nd screen, cannot use mission control/spaces
D = Take over screen, can use mission control/spaces, can create additional desktops. 2nd screen is usable

Without Setting
F = Takes over screen, cannot switch screens, blanks 2nd screen, cannot use mission control/spaces
D = Take over screen, can use mission control/spaces, can create additional desktops. 2nd screen is usable

@MrGimper, sorry, looks it I got it wrong when I wrote it down. Internally in SDL, it is called SDL_HINT_VIDEO_MAC_FULLSCREEN_SPACES. But the corresponding environment variable is SDL_VIDEO_MAC_FULLSCREEN_SPACES (without _HINT). So please instead try:

SDL_VIDEO_MAC_FULLSCREEN_SPACES = 1

Thanks Frode, with that option used, it now creates a new space
