and it just dies there. What am I missing? I can’t find a list of requirements anywhere.
Hi, the problem is due to a libstdc++ (conflict) betwen FS-UAE and the OpenGL driver if I recall correctly. I believe it is fixed in the packaging of the latest development version. It might work if you delete the libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 libraries bundled with the download.
I am on Mac and have the Amiga Forever kickstarts, and am able to import them with a normal success message and with the ROMs landing in my ~/Documents/FS-UAE/Kickstarts folder . However, at the bottom of the screen it still says “Using Kickstart ROM Replacement” and when I try to start a game it doesn’t show the expected workbench startup screen. I have also tried to set the Custom ROM field, but regardless of what I select the field stays blank and the message about “Using Kickstart ROM Replacement” remains. This seems to be a pretty bad bug or something, and it prevents me from using FS-UAE for a lot of games. Please help!
I should mention that after import there are still no green checkboxes in the list of Kickstarts. This is using a just-purchased Amiga Forever 2016 package. I have even tried installing once via a Windows VM and once via Wine, and in both cases the resulting ROMs are not recognized by FS-UAE.
One possible explanation; I believe the rom.key file (needed to decrypt the Cloanto ROMs) is only written when first starting Amiga Forever. So if you only installed it without running it, that file could be missing…
“Download Default.fs-uae and save this file in the Configurations folder (right-click the link and choose “Save link as”, or similar option in your browser).”
Hi, the link should be https://fs-uae.net/files/Default.fs-uae. However, this config does not really do anything useful, it’s just an example. I recommend using FS-UAE Launcher to manage your configuration(s) instead.
I installed fs-uae and fs-uae launcher under Debian Wheezy.
Can I autostart a custom configuration with fs-uae ?
I can with fs-launcher but I’d like to start it automatically and fs-uae autostarts with a plain a500 kick waiting for a floppy.:P
Hi, you can give the path to an .fs-uae config file to FS-UAE (or to FS-UAE Launcher) and FS-UAE will start with that config. So you can for example create a desktop shortcut which does this. I’m not sure if this is what you where thinking of, or something else?
Hi guys I’m new to this but it sounds massively complicated. Is there no way, like console emulators, that you can just download FS-UAE, and a game ROM and then just play? What’s with all these Kickstarters etc? I just want to plug and play!!
Hi, the process is more complicated than necessary due to copyright. The games need an operating system running on the Amiga, and this is “Kickstart”. But since the Kickstarts are copyrighted (and still sold, even), they cannot be bundled with FS-UAE.
(An open-source Kickstart replacement is included with FS-UAE, but compatibility isn’t 100%, so many games will refuse to run unless you have the original Kickstart(s))
I ‘ve read everything but still have problem when trying to import my kickstart roms from amiga forever. I copy all .rom including the rom.key but when i try to import gives me an error that the folder is not a directory. Any clue? Sorry about my poor english.
There is some bug in last portable beta, kicstart path is after folder move to other location still related to first folder when i started emulator – i can fix it temporally through change kickstart file location, but in next start is again broken.. I checked ini, i dont know why, but in setting.ini is still wrong – related to first-time folder, even after setting.ini and cache deletion is wrong, are you using some registry key or some files which arent in emulator folder?
I also strongly recommend add plausibility to use only relative path.
Hi, if I understand you correctly, there isn’t a bug. Portable mode is only truly portable if you only add directories *inside* the FS-UAE portable folder. For example, if you have: D:\Amiga\Kickstarts
D:\Amiga\FS-UAE\Portable.ini
D:\Amiga\FS-UAE\...
and you add D:\Amiga\Kickstarts, this will be added using absolute path. If you move Kickstarts inside FS-UAE, it will be added with relative path.
There is one option though. I have implemented it, but not really tested it. If you *move* Portable.ini like this: D:\Amiga\Kickstarts
D:\Amiga\Portable.ini
D:\Amiga\FS-UAE\...
Then D:\Amiga will be used as the base folder when determining relative addresses, and then you should be able to add the Kickstarts folder.
(If your problem is something else entirely, please explain more detailed).
Well portable – in those days, usually means – without installation, just download and run, but fully portable could be better, but not for roms – for example my roms are on my NAS and im using they with multiple machines and emulators… and copy roms into emulators folders is simply waste of space.
And to be honest – even with totally portable definitions isnt program working, is really bugged, because their is somewhere in settings, registry etc.. a value, which still searching roms in first folder, where was emulator executed and when you move folder – its broken, still related to first folder.
Simply i hate programs, which arent able to save and load their settings after restart.. and this
exactly what is happens – i change path, its working a moment, i restart program, path settings are lost..
Portable also usually meant that you could keep the program on an external drive, and move it from computer to computer, where the device could appear on different drive letters (Windows) or path (other OSes), and still work. This is that FS-UAE portable mode is designed for.
If you think you have found a bug (path settings are lost?) then please provide more detailed information so I can look into it. What paths are you using, what folder is moved, what happens then? Can you create a step-by-step list for me to follow in order to reproduce the problem?
Hi. Please update instructions for new users! I have a dozen or so amiga game zip files that I want to play. I have a kickstart file. Can I use FS-UAE arcade to browse and start and then play them while offline? If so how do I set that up?
Hi, yes you can, if the games are recognized by the online game database.
1. Login to your oagd.net account in FS-UAE Launcher (create a new account if necessary).
2. Let FS-UAE Launcher scan your zip files so information about found files are added to the file database.
The recognized games will appear both in FS-UAE Launcher and Fs-UAE Arcade.
Hi, I just download FS_UAE and registered to OAGD net to take advantage of the amazing work you do… but I’ve problems logging in… I got error 10060 (I think it’s a timeout related error).
I can argue it is a proxy related problem, since I’m under proxy server… does FS_UAE Launcher get proxy informations from the O.S. (Windows 7 64) setup? Is there a way to set this up? Am I wrong think about a proxy related issue?
Thannk you for the support and the amazin job!
No, you are probably correct. FS-UAE Launcher does (probably) not work through proxies. Perhaps you can add more details here: https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae-launcher/issues/23 (what kind of proxy you have, “normal” HTTP proxy? SOCKS proxy?)
After upgrading to kernel 4.11.9 I’m trying to check if https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-uae/issues/160 is now solved. Apparently 2.6.2 works fine now, so I’m trying with 2.8.3 but after downloading https://fs-uae.net/stable/2.8.3/fs-uae_2.8.3_linux_x86-64.tar.xz and trying to start it, I get

I had the same issue and this solved it for me (start Amiga Forever once, copy rom.key file, import again). Thanks very much for the tip!

I made a copy of the directory and use the option above the amiga import button and works perfectly. Thanks again for the great work!
This is a really awesome work! TKS!!!!!
Thank you for leaving positive feedback 😀
