Arcade.app

Hi, sorry for the stupid question but I cant seem to find an answer with the search.

With the new 2.4 version I have downloaded there is an app called Arcade, but I cant seem to find any documentation for it, would some one point me in the right direction ?

Hi, I guess the documentation for FS-UAE Arcade is close to non-existing yet

But the short tutorial is:
- enable the online game database in FS-UAE Launcher, scan your game media and verify that the launcher discovers installed games
- start FS-UAE Arcade and the games from the online database should appear, and the usage is then relatively straight-forward (alpha/beta version, several planned features are still missing).

Thanks for the info, that explains why I could not get it working. At install I told OSX to over write the existing app, thinking it would preserve my settings, but it did not and I did not rescan my gamebase. So thats why Arcade app showed no content.

Hi, just for the record, installing/upgrading/overwriting FS-UAE apps does not delete user data / settings. But sometimes, upgrading to a new version will clear cached data such as scanned/found games (If I have changed the database schema and I don't bother to write a database upgrade routine).

Thanks for the info, I got it working - I had a laugh when the app gave me its very own guru meditation ;0)

Yes, I am very happy with the error screen

(hope you managed to resolve the problem causing the "guru" screen to appear)
