FS-UAE 3.02 won't open on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

[elias137]

FS-UAE 3.02 won't open on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 when being opened as a Finder application. However, it perfectly runs manually via the terminal command '/Applications/FS-UAE\ Launcher.app/Contents/MacOS/fs-uae-launcher". No errors in terminal's output. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If anything written to Documents/FS-UAE/Cache/Logs/fs-uae-launcher.exe? (Delete it before trying to start from Finder).

Yes, it is. But there are no errors, if I get it right. Except some missing png files, but since I can run it via terminal I don't think it would be the issue. Here's the log file:

So, it just doesn't run as a Finder app, but perfectly runs via the terminal command.

I had this issue too, but only for FS-UAE ARCADE.app (3.0). And like you , I am running macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Maybe its an issue on the Mac side.
