Ubuntu Raring (13.04) Packages Added

Posted on 2013-05-01 by FrodeSolheim

A bit late, but packages for Ubuntu Raring (13.04) have been added to the stable and devel PPAs. I’m not on 13.04 yet, so I haven’t tested FS-UAE there yet, but I don’t have any reason to suspect that the packages won’t work

New Domain Name

Posted on 2013-04-30 by FrodeSolheim

The FS-UAE project has its own domain name now: fs-uae.net

http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/ will redirect to http://fs-uae.net/ for the foreseeable future (possibly forever), but if you do have permanent links to the FS-UAE home page / download page on your web site, I would appreciate it if you would update those links (either now, a bit later, or at least eventually ). Please also let me know if you find an old URL which is not redirected properly.

FS-UAE 2.2.2 Released

Posted on 2013-04-19 by FrodeSolheim

An update to FS-UAE 2.2 has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.2.2:

With video_sync = auto, allow some slack when deciding to enable full sync or not (accept host refresh rate 49 instead of just 50, ..).
New option: assume_refresh_rate (int) to manually specify host refresh rate when refresh rate detection fails. This option in combination with video_sync = auto effectively replaces video_sync = full.
video_sync = full is now an alias for video_sync = auto.
Fixed bug causing FS-UAE to hang when pausing with video_sync = off.
New model CD32/FMV (includes FMV ROM), CD32 model reverted to original.
Fixed compatibility issues in scanline GLSL shaders.
