Hi! Really good work, but I don’t understand if I “should” use this dev version or it’s better use stable version…

  Hi, what version you “should use” is really up to you. The point of the development versions is that they are snapshots of FS-UAE “in development”, and there can be new features (or changes) which hasn’t been tested that well yet. So you have a greater chance at encountering issues with the development versions. On the other hand, you get newer features. After some time in development (and with lots of testing), the dev versions become the new stable version (2.4.0).
  
  Following the development thread on the English Amiga board is a good idea if you want to use the dev versions 🙂

There was a problem with joystick devices in FS-UAE Launcher on OS X. This is fixed in 2.3.7dev2, available from the same download page.
