FS-UAE 3.2-beta

[FrodeSolheim]

I plan to continue maintaining the FS-UAE 3.x (without any new big features) until FS-UAE 4 matures. FS-UAE 3.1 - which has had some minor fixes - works quite nicely now, and I don't indent to introduce any risky changes there. The main change in FS-UAE 3.2-beta is the backport of an updated libslirp library from FS-UAE 4 which fixes A2065 emulation. Especially useful for AmigaOS 4.1 emulation.

Version 3.2.4-beta:

* Backported builtin slirp from FS-UAE 4 (fixes A2065 instability - corrupt downloads and crash).
* Use g_get_monotonic_time() for high-resolution time on Windows as well.

Note: There seems to be an issue with libslirp on macOS causing missing to be dropped: https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae/issues/288 (Probably a libslirp bug with a potential fix: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp...rp/-/issues/35 - looking into it).

Upgrading the bundled libslirp to latest version 4.6.1 fixed the data corruption issue on macOS

Bundled SDL version is bumped to 2.0.18. Should fix mouse cursor containment issue on Windows with non-integer UI scaling. Might also improve controller support.

In addition, on macOS, do not simulate right/middle mouse buttons in full keyboard emulation.

Hi,

I am currently using version 3.2.11 (os 4.1)
from what I understand the 4-dev version supports folder sharing
it's right?
https://fs-uae.net/files/FS-UAE/Mast..._x86-64.tar.xz

or does 3.2.11 also support this?
what is the syntax for adding a directory?

Thank you.

Any chance to update WHDLoad to the latest version? I'm seeing no way for a manual update. Thanks.

Hi Frode,


What you think to make WHDLoad as a plugin?
We could update the files manually.

Do you know if 3.2 is far from stable release - not asking for ETA

Kind regards
Thom

Hasn’t been any activity in a long time. FS-UAE is likely not going to be updated anymore. Learn to use WinUAE, which has an active Developer.

This is great advice, can you advise how to compile to native Linux binary?

Launcher 4 has a, at the moment non-functional, "custom" option. So I'm pretty sure something like that is already somewhere on his To-Do list.

If you insist to compile it yourself (FS-UAE that is ) just take a look at "fs-uae-launcher/fsgamesys/amiga/whdload.py" (in conjunction with "fs-uae-launcher/fsgamesys/download.py") and it should become obvious how WHDLoad is fetched.

If it helps, I've found the location of the CI builds from the master branch:


FS-UAE: https://fs-uae.net/files/FS-UAE/Master/


FS-UAE Launcher: https://fs-uae.net/files/FS-UAE-Launcher/Master/


By looking at the timestamps, it looks like since August 2022 there are no more CI builds

That is not what he is asking for, he asks (AS A JOKE) how to compile WinUAE on and more importantly for Linux.
But of cause, that would help anyone that tries to follow my DIY recommendation.
