A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.21dev:

• Added file version information to fs-uae.exe
• Updated Windows build/dist system to work with MSYS2.
• Also check for plugin .dll/.so in executable directory and exedir/../name/name.dll-or-so (useful for development and testing)
• Added microsoft_x_box_one_pad_11_6_1_0_linux.conf.
• Added sony_computer_entertainment_wireless_controller_14_10_1_0_linux.conf.
• Added wireless_controller_14_6_1_0_macosx.conf.

Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 2.5.21dev:

• Allow clearing preferred joystick(s) via settings UI.
• Can start with path to .fs-uae file as final argument (auto-runs configuration via FS-UAE Launcher).
• Can start with game uuid as final argument (auto-runs preferred variant).
• Can start with variant uuid as final argument (autu-runs specified variant).
• Fixed issue caused by QT normalizing (NFC) paths on OS X.

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.19dev:

• Restore kickstart ROM when CSMK3/CSPPC/BPPC maprom is disabled.
• New PPC lock implemented, fixes occasional PPC lockup.
• Fix crash during PPC reset (missing lock when memory regions were updated).
• Stop PPC CPU before resetting Amiga.
• Floating point fixes for PowerPC hosts.
• New options cpu, fpu, mmu, changes to how CPU is configured.
• Defaults for fpu, mmu, cpu speed, cpu accuracy, blitter mode now automatically depends on specified (or implied) cpu option. Example, cpu = 68040 will automatically enable 68040 FPU (and MMU), set fastest possible mode, less compatible CPU and enable waiting blits.
• A3000/A4000 models now use waiting blits by default (was immediate).
• Fix reset problem while PPC CPU is active.
• Workaround for Hexagons Joystick Adapter (name is a single non-ASCII letter).
• Workaround for SDL 2 XInput Controller names with #x in the name.
• Recognize --version and --help arguments.
• The bitmap fonts are also now loaded from fs-uae.dat.
• Don’t add RTC module on stock A600, A1200 (exp) defaults to MSM6242B.
• Fixed loading CD into drive from CD image list (full path wasn’t resolved).
• Added new boolean option uaenative_library.
• Updated emulation core from WinUAE 2900b19.

Important: if you are using QEMU-UAE for PPC support, you need to update the plugin to version 3.3.0qemu2.1.0.

Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 2.5.19dev:

• Fixed launcher net play GUI (broken in dev versions since the move to QT).

Changes in FS-UAE Arcade 2.5.19dev:

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.18dev:

• Disabled / soft-removed PearPC PPC implementation.
• Changed A4000 default floppy drive type to 3.5″ HD.
• New option cdfs (boolean). Can be used to disable builtin CDFS.
• Reduced number of OpenAL buffers to pre-2.5.17dev level.
• Updated emulation core from WinUAE 2900b18.

Known issues:

• When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
• Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now.
• On OS X, cursor movement is currently not received by FS-UAE when the window is not focused (either something SDL 2 or OS X itself does). This makes mouse integration a bit less useful.

A new development version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 2.5.17dev:

• Initial support for magic mouse / virtual mouse.
• New option mouse_integration (boolean) (Setting it to 1 implies cursor=0, automatic_input_grab=0).

• Changes to audio buffer fill logic.
• Measure fps internally with floating point numbers.
• Fixed cyberstormppc.rom lookup when using FS-UAE config file.
• Fixed ISO-8859-1 UTF-8 conversion (broke in 2.5.15dev).
• Renamed testing option workbench -> workbenc_disk.
• Updated emulation core from WinUAE 2900b17.

• AmigaOS 4.1 w/Picasso IV => sometimes weird frame rate (~36 FPS).
• When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
• Booting CD32 with CD inserted works, but inserting later, or eject + re-insert does not seem to work right now.
• On OS X, cursor movement is currently not received by FS-UAE when the window is not focused (either something SDL 2 or OS X itself does). This makes mouse integration a bit less useful.

Please note that there was an issue with FS-UAE 2.5.15dev and the QEMU-UAE plugin (for PPC support) on OS X. When updating to 2.5.16dev, this should work, but you also must update the QEMU-UAE plugin to v2.1.0fs020001.

• New model A4000/PPC (auto-enables CyberStorm PPC).
