Hi Frode,

On the latest version, I can’t seem to find the option to disable the On Screen Display info on the upper left corner reading “GL 50 FPS, BLIT – VSYNC OFF”
How do I disable that?

Thanks in advance

FS-UAE does not add anything like this. It sounds like an overlay provided by your graphics driver. I think the Nvidia drivers can add something like that. Check your graphics driver control panel 🙂

I’m running FS-UAE on a Raspberry Pi 4 with the current version of Raspberry Pi OS (from March 2021). It has really a great performance. In my opinion it is the best Amiga emulator there is for the Raspberry Pi. There is only one little thing that bothers me a little. Whenever the emulator starts an error appears at the bottom of the screen about version 2.8.3 expected, but 2.8.4 found. Other than that, everything is fine. Is there any way to suppress this message?

Hi, I’m not sure where you got these versions from. 2.8.x is a bit old. But for 2.8.x and 3.0.x, FS-UAE & FS-UAE Launcher releases were synced, and FS-UAE checks this to make sure you’re not running with the wrong version, unintentionally. I don’t think you can supress those messages in 2.8. But if you upgrade to version 3.1, that message/check is disabled.

I’m looking for the HDF and the ADF image explorers.

I’m unable to mount, read, or write to amiga disk image files from my linux system.

UAE creates blank images but I can’t look at or alter their contents from linux. Hours of reading through docs and google search has turned up nothing.
Thank you,
D

There are several options:
– I believe there is a Linux file system driver for AmigaOS file systems (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/affs.html). So might be able to mount the files as loopback drives.
– Another useful tool is amitools (https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools) which includes xdftool for manipulating adf/hdf files.
– Lastly, you can of course manipulate the contents through AmigaOS in FS-UAE.

the emulator works very well except for some minor annoyances
I am on linux ubuntu 16.04.64
I have problems with the keyboard
the arrow keys only works with the Alt key pressed and it’s quite annoying just like the windows key that calls the search window of ubuntu by disabling the emulator when you make a long press
I’m using FS-UAE for development purpose
thanks you to tell me if some update could fix that
best regards, philippe

Hi, FS-UAE should grab the keyboard by default when running. Have you disabled that option? You can toggle keyboard grab by using F12+g.
