fs-uae-arcade and CD32 games

browniesrgut · 03 February 2014, 20:28

Hi there Frode,

I've been using fs-uae-arcade this week-end on my linux/XBMC htpc to play those magic games while sitting on the couch. And I must say a big "THANK YOU" ! It's a wonderful piece of software. We couldn't dream better and you made it !

I think, I found a little bug (that happens on my linux pc aswell) when I try to launch a CD32 games from fs-uae-arcade, all I get is the "insert workbench floppy disk" kickstart animation.

It works fine when I launch them from fs-uae-launcher.

Here's my log file : http://pastebin.com/TXq6KkFr

Cheers
Browny

Hi, it works here, but I'm sure there's something interesting in the logs. Unfortunately, I need another log (/home/badr/Documents/FS-UAE/Cache/Logs/fs-uae.log.txt).

(Oh, and I noticed the database_* leaks you filtered out -- which occured when starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Arcade. I've fixed those for the next build).

Good Morning, Frode

Thank you for your reply. Here is the log :

I took the liberty to filter out again my user name and email address.

Have a nice day

[EDIT] It doesn't seem to load the "CD32 Extended-ROM r40.60 (1993)(Commodore)(CD32).rom" file...
[EDIT 2] I forgot to mention, I was using version 2.3.17dev, I just remotely upgraded to 2.3.99beta2 (thank you SSH

) - I'll be testing it this evening and report ASAP.

Hello,

Still the same, even with fs-uae 2.3.99beta2 (Silly me : actually I was using v2.3.99b2 on the HTPC, I upgraded my desktop...) : I only get the Insert Workbench disk animation even after the upgrade.

While in the same program, if I press left or right hat (on the xbox 360 digital pad, not the analog stock) to navigate through the games, the covers start scrolling crazy non stop : I have to touch the left analog stick to stop it from "spinning" the list. I can only navigate through games with the left analog stick or with the keyboard (no problem in fs-uae itself - i can use d-pad, the problem occurs only in fs-uae-arcade).

Cheers
Browny

I have now fixed the missing-ext-rom-when-using-arcade problem.

I've also reproduced the problem controlling FS-UAE Arcade with joystick hats and will move onto fixing that now

(EDIT: ...aaaand fixed)

You're the best !

Does this also work using fs-uae, I've been trying but CD32 games don't seem to run with the bare emulator getting the config file presented... all I get is the CD32 "insert bootable media" screen.

@deejay please post fs-uae.log.txt (or check yourself for clues).

Would love to, but for some reason logs are only written when I launch the CD32 game from launcher. If I run it by command line "fs-uae.exe \path\to\config-file" it won't dump anything (tried with both beta 2 and beta 3)

Unless you have done something to avoid it, the log file should be stored in (My) Documents/FS-UAE/Cache/Logs

Good point... launcher was set to portable mode so I was expecting the logs to be created locally, but fs-uae doesn't "listen" to this when run directly.
Anyway please see attached.

One problem is probably then that since you have used a portable installation - which is really handled by the launcher, not by FS-UAE itself - then the proper kickstarts are not found when you start the game (since FS-UAE looks in Documents/FS-UAE/Kickstarts and not in the portable dir).

The second problem is that you are not loading any CD image...

deejay · 12 February 2014, 22:08

Frode, you're the best!

So I removed the portable.ini and had to re-import all the kickstarts - as obviously the MyDocs Dir wouldn't have them yet.

Then, I kept the config files in the local "portable tree", and moved all the game images to the mydocs tree. This way I didn't have to change the config files which will look for the files in the mydocs tree by default.

Yay, thanks again!
