I got FS-UAE 3 running on my Raspberry Pi 400 and 4 compiled from GitHub master branch. The "key ingredient" to success was compiling lastest SDL2 v2.0.18 first

I get some Errors Launching FS-UAE over Launchbox 12.7

Versions: FS-UAE Launcher 4.0.122-Master
FS-UAE 4.0.71-Master

on Windows 11

With Launchbox i get this Error (see Screenshot), without Launchbox it runs Fine.

In the release notes, I noticed that directory hard drives are not working out of the box on AmigaOS4.1:

"It does not work out-of-the-box at this point, you need to specify that the UAE board should work in indirect mode."

I'm not sure what this means and wondered if anyone else could kindly advise on how to get this working?

[Bladeforce]

I'd prefer using the standalone fs-uae without the launcher. According to the first post the launcher should ask to download the standalone fs-uae but it doesnt. How do i get fs-uae without the launcher?

[FrodeSolheim]

@Starfox Right now, FS-UAE Launcher 4 cannot be used like this (it ignores many startup parameters). It will work again later.

@n4cer500 Something like this might be sufficient:

uae_uaeboard = full+indirect

@Bladeforce You can find direct download links to everything here: https://fs-uae.net/builds/master

[Bladeforce]

Thanks Frode but on extracting the archive and running fs-uae i get this error

[FrodeSolheim]

Did you extract the entire folder structure (and did not move [OS]/x86-64 somewhere else)? It needs to find resources in the Data folder next to [OS].

[Bladeforce]

Hi Frode I download the zip and extract with full pathnames but no Data folder is made or OS folder. Ihave DOCS, LINUX and LOCALE folders in the root dir and under the Linux folder I have /X86_64 which has ALL the files including fs-uae and all the png files. No DATA folder is extracted

[ChoccyHobNob]

OK so I have an odd problem here. Running FS-UAE 4.0.107-MASTER on macOS 12.3 on an M1Pro MacBook Pro.

If I run fs-uae from a command line...

/usr/local/BIOS/amiga/System/FS-UAE/macOS/ARM64/FS-UAE.app/Contents/MacOS/fs-uae "/usr/local/BIOS/amiga/Configurations/A4000 + OS3.2.fs-uae" --fullscreen

(Excuse the odd paths, I have updated ~/Library/Preferences/fs-uae/base-dir to contain /usr/local/BIOS/amiga so it may look odd but it works )
This works OK.

If I load fs-uae launcher, select the same config file and click start it does not.

The .fs-uae file contains this

# FS-UAE configuration saved by FS-UAE Launcher
# Last saved: 2021-06-12 14:27:40

[fs-uae]
amiga_model = A4000
bsdsocket_library = 1
cdrom_drive_count = 1
chip_memory = 2048
fast_memory = 8192
graphics_card = uaegfx
graphics_memory = 4096
hard_drive_0 = AmigaOS32.hdf
hard_drive_1 = WHDLoad.hdf
hard_drive_3 = Exchange
kickstart_file = kick-47096-32.A4000.rom

That last line, kickstart_file is the problem. If I load the file in the launcher it doesn't update the kickstart rom field in the launcher, which says 'default'

If I manually change the kickstart rom to custom and select the right file it works but the config file does not get updated, I can't find any place to save the file so I assume it's supposed to just happen?

[Bladeforce]

An update to this i have noticed but these files aren't even in the zip file

Hi,

When trying to do an update, I get this error:

Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='fs-uae.net', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /launcher/updates.json (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f91eaebd340>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 22] Invalid argument'))

I've been having this problem for a while, but I wrote it down to a system which has been part of three macOS X betas. I remembered reading a post on the GitHub repo that a reinstall fixed this, so I just reinstalled the OS and found that it fixed a lot of other weirdness, but in FS-UAE, I am still getting the error.

This happens on a newly downloaded FS-UAE Launcher 4.0.109-MASTER build from the first post in this thread. It happens on a MacBook Pro 15" running macOS X 12.3.1.

Do you have ideas what I can do to re-enable updates?

@FrodeSolheim

after a while I switched to an M1 machine and I noticed that midi seems not to work anymore with the latest Arm build (4.0.57-master): device helper lists nothing.

the x86 build (4.0.71) with Rosetta 2 works most of the time, but I had troubles too.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Any progress on FS-UAE 4 ? :-D

[guidobartoli80]

@FrodeSolheim: thanks for giving us a chance to preview the features of version 4.0, I really like the new GUI!

One question: is the selection of favorite games planned for the release of the stable version or will it be postponed later? The list of games in the database is very large and I think it would be a very useful feature so that you don't have to go every time to search for a game in your "collection".

Have a nice day!

[FrodeSolheim]

@MrDBUG: Yes, there is progress. It is not very visible right now, but I'm doing some refactoring (improving the foundation) of FS-UAE Launcher, adding static typing (etc) to make it easier to extend and maintain it going forward. It is taking a bit more time than expected (probably because I got a bit carried away and changed too much, but...).

@guidobartoli80 I agree with you, an easy-to-use favorite function is high on the priority list.

@McNoise I think it works for me on both architectures, but I'll have to doublecheck...

[guidobartoli80]

Thanks Frode, we are looking for it!

Another question: will the WHDLoad database be updated together with the future 4.0 release?

Have a nice day

Oh, I did not notice that... sorry for not searching before posting, thanks!

I can confirm that for an M2 MacBook Air. It ends with a green screen. The log ends with (no copy'n'paste error):

Hi Frode,
Many thanks for sharing the latest FS-UAE 4 builds, I really love the new interface and internal updates!

I noticed that on FS-UAE-Launcher/Master/ the latest 4.0.122-master build is from 2021-11-21 following a steady series of updates about a week apart. I was wondering if by chance development had paused for any particular reason or simply because a new build with more updates was on the way.

I ask this only because I really care about AMIGA emulation on Linux platform and I consider FS-UAE the best open-source tool to feed this passion of mine (and many others!)

Thanks
