I do get some questions asking for an FS-UAE version running natively on Apple silicon / M1. The short answer is that it is possible to build a working version for M1, but I don’t yet provide official builds due to not having access to the hardware. Please see this recent thread on the English Amiga Board for more information: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=106970.
There has also been reports about joystick/gamepad devices not working on M1 hardware with FS-UAE 3.0.5. I have created newer builds – available here for now: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=105950 – which are reported to fix the issue 🙂
EDIT: Official ARM64 builds for Apple silicon / M1 are coming.

Thank you, Frode – this works well and fast!
Works flawlessly and about twice as fast as the x86 release on my M1.
Hi Frode,
I was unable to compile FS-UAE on M1, unfortunately.
Error:
CDPATH=”${ZSH_VERSION+.}:” && cd . && /bin/sh /Users/marcusgerards/Documents/amiga/fs-uae/fs-uae-3.0.5/missing aclocal-1.16
/Users/marcusgerards/Documents/amiga/fs-uae/fs-uae-3.0.5/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.16: command not found
WARNING: ‘aclocal-1.16’ is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified ‘acinclude.m4’ or
‘configure.ac’ or m4 files included by ‘configure.ac’.
The ‘aclocal’ program is part of the GNU Automake package:
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
(Automake has been installed, though).
Would anyone like to share a build?
Best regards,
Marcus
Hi, the problem might be that you have modified configure.ac and simply need to run ./bootstrap to regenerate the autotools-related files. If not, I might have an v3.x build of FS-UAE for M1 hardware, soon.
