Known Issues

This page lists some known issues with FS-UAE and/or FS-UAE Launcher.

Running Archived WHDLoad Games

In addition to FS-UAE not yet supporting file permissions/comments/times, the following issues can affect some games archived this way when run via FS-UAE Launcher:

  • Empty folders are currently not extracted (with the online database, this is not a problem).
  • Permission / comments / file times are not read from the archives (currently irrelevant).

CD-Based Games and Net Play

If you use a CD with a .cue file, only the checksum of the .cue file is checked, and the Launcher does not check that the other files are identical for players. Everything will still work, provided that everyone has exactly the same files.

CD-based games with CD audio may cause synchronization issues with the emulator, It is not tested, but it is a likely problem.

  1. Hi, I have an issue (Windows 10 x64) when I try to update file or game database. I have the Kickstart ROMS already scanned, and I’m logged in.

    This is the error message: “Error -5 while decompressing data: incomplete or truncated stream”

    The Launcher is included as exception on Firewall and already used “run as administrator”.

  2. ASSHOLES! I HAVE WASTED AROUND 50 FUCKING HOURS FUCKING WITH THIS.

    I DOWNLOADED THE MEGA PACK, hearto-1g1r-collection.zip.

    I TRIED TO USE IT WITH FS-UAE FOR AMIGA.

    NOT 1 FUCKING GAME WORKS!

    ALL OF THE YOUTUBE I HAVE FOUND, THE FUCKING ASSHOLES,
    LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT PARTS, OR,

    THIS PACK FUCKING SUCKS AND DOES NOT WORK.

    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT, I AM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF.

    • I have no idea what the pack you’re referring to is. It certainly hasn’t got anything to do with fs-uae.net. Regardless, with your behavior, you have guaranteed that I won’t be lifting a finger to help you. Ever. Or giving any other response, except for this one.

  3. I’ve tried using FS-UAE recently on a 2015 MacBook Pro in High Sierra. Certain screens are just gray. Like faery tale starts up with the workbench booting screen. But when the game actually starts it goes gray. Dungeon master only switches between black and grey screens but is gray during the FTL logo swoosh.
    Is this a known issue? Any idea what I might try?

    I’ve tried full screen, windowed, PAL, NTSC, Vsync on and off.

    I’m pretty technical and I’ve used winuae successfully on Windows many times before

    • Without more information, I’m guessing the problem could be missing correct/official kickstart ROM, or incompatible Amiga model being used with the game. If the replacement kickstart ROM is being used, compability with games will be much lower.
