Also, due to changes in SDL2, some controllers (Xbox controllers at least) have new IDs and the bundled controller mappings no longer match. So you need to remap your controller in Launcher settings if you cannot utilize all buttons anymore. I’ll see if I can get new controller configs included in an update!

The repositories are all hosted by the openSUSE Build Service. Previously, I’ve also pushed out builds via Ubuntu’s PPA service, but I will most likely not continue doing this since it is easier for me do to distribute everything via this single service.

It is especially recommended for macOS users to upgrade, as this latest version fixes some annoying issues on recent macOS versions.

FS-UAE-Launcher_Stable_macOS_ARM64.dmg
FS-UAE_Stable_macOS_ARM64.dmg

Compared to previous downloads, FS-UAE Launcher.app no longer contains an embedded FS-UAE.app. Therefore, you need to download both of the .dmg files above and place FS-UAE Launcher.app and FS-UAE.app beside eachother, for example in the /Applications folder. I haven’t had time to fix builds of FS-UAE Arcade yet.

There are also macOS_ARM64 builds available for the 4.x development snapshots. If interested, please see this forum thread for links and more information.

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.

Disclaimer: I haven’t tested the guide myself.

Note: If all you want to do is to play back MIDI tunes, for example to use FS-UAE to play Sierra games with MT-32 music (using an MT-32 emulator on your host computer), you should wait until FS-UAE 3.9.x arrives, which should support this use case on all platforms via the portmidi library.

• Fixed crash when starting the Launcher in a KDE environment.

(Update only relevant for Linux)

• No changes.

Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 3.0.2

I have some issues getting the app to work without warning on macOS 10.15 due to the new security/notarization features on macOS, and absence of useful error messages when stuff don’t work. You can right click and choose open to bypass the strict security checks until I’ve worked this out. [EDIT: Looks like it is fixed now -> 3.0.1u1]

This is the first release where I have published 64-bit (x86-64) binaries for Windows, OS X and SteamOS. These have been tested fairly little compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So please report any issues specific to these versions if you find any. Note: 64-bit QEMU-UAE plugins for Windows, OS X and Steam OS are not publised, but CAPSImg (IPF support) is available.

The new x86-64 JIT compiler is available and enabled in the 64-bit versions. There is a dedicated support thread for this at http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=79762. The JIT compiler is enabled with jit_compiler = 1 (use for example with the A4000/040 model). If you want full speed for floating point operating, you also need to enable the option uae_compfpu = 1 for now.

Known issues:

• For full (FPU) JIT speed you need to manually enable uae_compfpu = 1.
• Windows (x86-64) portable version uses 32-bit “shortcut executables”.
• Portable x86-64 versions should be able to co-locate with x86-versions.

• Merged JIT compiler updates from the ARAnyM project.
• Support for JIT compilation on x86-64 (Linux/Windows/OS X). It may contain bugs yet. FPU JIT is currently disabled by default for x86-64.
• JIT 64-bit direct memory exception handlers for Linux/Windows/OS X.
• Compile FS-UAE / Windows as large address aware for more virtual memory.
• Updated emulation core from WinUAE 3200b12.

Improvements over version 2.4.x include:

• Updated emulation code from WinUAE 3.1.0.
• Support for PPC emulation (can run AmigaOS 4.x) via QEMU-UAE plugin.
• More emulated hardware support (Toccata, A2061, Picasso IV, …).
• Better support for modern OS versions due to using SDL 2.0.
• Built-in support for multiple displays, and fixes for HiDPI displays.
• The Launcher supports modern OS versions better due to using QT 5.x.
• Much improved FS-UAE Launcher user interface.
• FS-UAE mouse integration (Workbench cursor follows host cursor).
• Updated internal kickstart replacement from AROS.
• Dual joystick/mouse mode for joystick port 0.
• Official builds for SteamOS (Linux + Steam runtime).
• OS X apps are now digitally signed (Apple Developer ID).
• Support for JIT direct memory access (much faster JIT).
• Many bug fixes.
• … and a lot of other improvements. See the changelog entries for all the details.

Support for IPF disk images is now provided by a plugin which you need to download separately.

• Added version update check for beta branch.
• Imported updated translations from crowdin.com.

For OS X, you need to install an unofficial driver, such as the open source Xone-OSX driver. Alternatively, you can install the 0.15 preview version (or newer) of the improved 360Controller driver which incorporates code from Xone-OSX, and also supports Xbox 360 controllers. Please note, I do not take any responsibility for your use of unofficial drivers!

On recent Linux distributions, the Xbox One controller should work out of the box

As far as I know, you need to connect the controller via a Micro-USB cable on all platforms, due to Microsoft using a proprietary wireless protocol.

Many thanks to NVIDIA which actually tracked down the bug in FS-UAE! The problem was an unused function (mprotected), a legacy from older WinUAE code, which was exported and caused the NVIDIA drivers to load this function instead of the correct one from libc. I’m quite impressed that they contacted me with information about the bug, and I think this shows how serious they are about their Linux drivers

The latest development versions are not affected by this problem (the function has already been removed, and also, symbols are no longer exported by default).

The naming is a bit misleading, the requirement isn’t really SteamOS, but rather the Steam Runtime! This means that this version should run on any Linux distribution where Steam (or Steam Runtime) is installed. Please report if the packages are not working on your Linux distro

This package can be particular useful if FS-UAE packages are not available for your Linux distro (or if only older versions are available). The SteamOS version will also probably be used as the base for a new Linux portable distribution (similar to the Windows and OS X portable versions).

The OS X build environment has also been updated with newer library versions – so same here, please report any new issues in 2.5.21.dev, if any.

• Added file version information to fs-uae.exe
• Updated Windows build/dist system to work with MSYS2.
