No official (fs-uae.net-provided) binary packages are available for FreeBSD, but the source code compiles and FS-UAE runs on FreeBSD.
FS-UAE is also available in the ports tree. To install, run the following as root:
pkg install fs-uae fs-uae-launcherOr compile the ports yourself:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/fs-uae
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/emulators/fs-uae-launcher
make install cleanFS-UAE will run poorly without hardware-accelerated OpenGL drivers.
No official (fs-uae.net-provided) binary packages are available for OpenBSD, but the source code compiles and FS-UAE runs on OpenBSD.
FS-UAE is now also available in the ports tree:
FS-UAE will run poorly without hardware-accelerated OpenGL drivers.
The following plugins can be used with FS-UAE.
In the future, plugins will probably automatically be downloaded on demand
by FS-UAE Launcher, but for now, manual installation is needed.
To install, download the desired plugin zip file and extract the
folder within to your Documents/FS-UAE/Plugins
folder (You should end up with Documents/FS-UAE/Plugins/PluginName).
Create the Plugins folder first if it is missing.
If you are using the portable version of FS-UAE, you
extract to the Plugins folder in the portable folder instead).
If you want to, you can also download all the below plugins bundled in one archive for your convenience:
CAPSImg (IPF support plugin)
This plugin provides support for reading IPF floppy disk images, and works on Windows, macOS and Linux.
QEMU-UAE (PPC and Slirp plugin)
This plugin provides support for PPC emulation (PPC CPU core provided by QEMU) and Slirp network support, and works on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Data file plugins
The following plugins provide files which can used by FS-UAE Launcher. (version 2.9.11dev or newer). When these plugins are present, the Launcher can use the files from the plugins instead of downloading them on-demand from the Internet, so these are mostly useful for creating an offline setup of FS-UAE Launcher.
AmigaPrograms_4.2.1.zip
JST_4.7.zip
SKick_3.46.zip
WHDLoad_18.5.zip

Hey Frode! Hope you’re doing OK in these strange times.
I just got on the Fedora 32 beta and the first thing I tried to do was install fs-uae (because of course 😉 ). However, I have this error and can’t install the launcher. Hopefully this can get resolved soon, but more importantly, be safe out there!

Hi, it looks like the problem could be due to Python being upgraded from 3.7 to 3.8 after the packages were built. I’ve rebuilt python3-lhafile for Fedora 32, can you try updating and see if it works now?
Hi Frode et al,
I’m running MacOSX Catalina 10.15.2, and attempting to run FS-UAE 3.02 which used toward, but now just bounces int he doc for a while and comes up as “not responding”. Here is what my Console says filtered on ‘FS-use’, any tips to get FS-UAE working again?

Hi, I have managed to reproduce one problem where the Launcher will not start. This might not be the same as your problem. When starting on macOS 10.15 for the first time, macOS will ask if you allow the launcher to access the Documents folder. If you deny this, FS-UAE Launcher will not start (and will not be able to write a log file either).
Please try to go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Files and Folders, and make sure “Documents Folder” access is allowed for FS-UAE Launcher.
Hey, I downloaded the MAC version but it does not start after installation. Any idea what I might doing wrong?
Maybe there is some error message in the “Console” application in macOS? Also, what macOS version are you using, and what FS-UAE version were you trying?
Hi, i downloaded version 3.0.2 and realize not work in XP (my fault i did not read windows 7 and up text)
By the way, i just hex edit 2 dll libglib-2.0-0.dll and libwinpthread-1.dll, change some dependencies, and now works great in my XP x64 machine
libwinpthread-1.dll > gettickcount64
libglib-2.0-0.dll > GetFileInformationByHandleEx – GetFinalPathNameByHandleW
Just left the info in the rare case some other user is using XP x64
sorry my english, thanks
happy christmas
Interesting to know that you made it work this way, thanks for sharing 🙂 And a merry Christmas to you too!
Some reason updating FS-UAE to latest 3.0.2 was fine a few days ago but upon me trying to launch it now the launcher.exe was gone, seems my antivirus deleted it for being Suspicious (must be a false positive)
This sounds annoying. Did you eventually get it to work without being deleted by the antivirus program?
No x64 here as well. Do you still have a link to the latest win32 package (install & zip) ?
Hi, latest Windows (x86) release here: https://fs-uae.net/stable/2.8.3/
Thank you Frode
Hey there! Fedora 31 is almost officially out. Any plans for an official F31 repo? Have you ever considered Fedora Copr?
I have enabled Fedora 31 in the openSUSE build service now, so packages should be available shortly if built successfully 🙂
Fedor Copr wasn’t available when I started building the packages (I believe). Now, it had probably made more sense to use Copr, but I haven’t had motivation/time to change. Also, openSUSE build service works fairly well 🙂
Hi
I have a problem which is I don’t have 64 bit
And I want 32 bit
Please answer.
It is still possible to build 32-bit versions, but I stopped making official 32-bit builds in order to reduce the workload for me (and since most of the world is on 64-bit by now).
As the 32bit is now stopped and a known quantity, can you please release it as a torrent file (with magnet link) and also include in that torrent file a version that will run in dosbox? 🙂
I know it would be a slow way to emulate an amiga in DosBox. however it can still be a very useful tool, especially for old amiga Public Domain productivity software. So for example the ability to see a spreadsheet or a text file would be possible, even if it was a very slow emulation. The point is it would be for a very easy way to do so if on wanted to run an amiga emulator in DosBox. And example might be EasyCalc the PublicDomain spreadsheet software for the A500 in a 320×40 resolution. Much appreciated. Not looking for fancy frame-rate games or HAM video. Being able to display a 32 colour picture 320×240 in DeluxePaint would be nice but not essential. Likewise, being able to run WordWorth Word-Processor with a very slow amiga processor and say 4meg to 8meg of RAM would be nice (and maybe the ability to mount an a570 CDROM for ISO files). I know about PCem and all that. I know there are better ways but I’m not looking to do any of that (even though it’d be cool). Just looking to run an a500 emulator (at a slow speed) in DosBox. Not looking for WHDLoad. Cheers.
All that is needed is an x86 amiga emulator that will run in DosBox. I know it seems like a roundabout way of doing things, but there are reasons. Thanks. 🙂
TLDR: What FS-uae version would work from MSDOS?
The last official/stable 32-bit version for Linux and Windows https://fs-uae.net/stable/2.8.3/ and macOS: https://fs-uae.net/stable/2.8.3u1/.
As for DOS version, I’m not even sure if you are serious, but in case you are, there never were a version of FS-UAE that would work in MS-DOS…
