I monitor the support.FS-UAE forum over at the English Amiga Board and answer questions there regularly. Also, updates on current development are posted there.
If you have any kind of issue with FS-UAE, you are welcome to create a new thread and explain your problem. It is also useful if you attach FS-UAE.log.txt (found in Documents/FS-UAE/Logs) to your post when the problem is related to running FS-UAE.
If you don’t want to register on the English Amiga Board, you can leave a comment on this website instead. The advantage of posting in support.FS-UAE is that other people may be able to help you as well, and maintaining a longer discussion (if necessary) is easier.
For live support, you can connect to the IRC support channel directly from your web browser: Enter live support channel. The most likely time to get help is during the evening (UTC+1), but there may be people around to help at other times as well.
General feedback, praise or constructive criticism is always welcome, both here and in the forum 🙂
Hi, not sure i posted in the right place yesterday… same message just trying to cover all bases!
i‘m very new to fsu-ae and I’m having problems getting my joystick buttons to work… I’m using the latest version of the emulator on my macbook running OS X El Cap I’m trying to use a Wico Command Control joystick with a usb adaptor.. the problem seems to be with the buttons as the stick controls are recognised with out a problem, iv tested the joystick with an old amiga and the buttons work fine, even tried a old atari joystick with the same adaptor and the button works fine? both joysticks are recognised as “Ajoy” but even if i try to config the button in settings it won’t even pick up the button on the wico being pressed no matter where i try to assign it? but it will recognise the atari for some reason? i don’t know if its because the wico has 2 buttons attached to the same trigger? iv tried switching one off but this had no effect either.. has anyone had this problem with a wico joystick?
sorry if this isn’t very clear I’m trying to give the most detail i can for things i don’t know much about!
thanks in advance for any help!!
how long does moderation usually take?
Depends, moderation itself would be quick, but I sometimes keep messages in the moderation queue to remember to answer them (and sometimes I still forget) :-/
Hi, I don’t think this is something I can help you with. It must be some incompatibility between the adapter and Wico joystick. I don’t have any good explanation for why it works in the Amiga. Maybe a voltage problem on the pin corresponding to the fire button? If you have a multimeter or similar, you might be able to debug further that way…
Thanks for getting back to me! i don’t have a multimeter or anything like that.. i was using boxer for emulation with the same adaptor and wico joystick and the fire buttons worked there..
this is the adaptor i have…

is there a adaptor you recommend that works with wico joysticks?
has anyone mentioned problems with wico joysticks or joy adaptors b4?
Please support bigger ampunut virtual gfx card memory becouse now i cannot use 2560×1440 32bit what is ny monitor native mode. WinUae supports but has weird pointer problem at least version what i tested.
For what graphics card; UAEGFX? 32 MB video memory should be more than enough for 2560×1440…
I am trying to run CD32 games. I have the TOSEC ROMS and I am using the settings from the archive, but all I ever get is “This game variant cannot be started because you don’t have all required files.”
I have tried manually adding the disc and CD32 KS and Extended ROMS, but same result.
In the TOSEC zip files are usually .cue and .iso files. I have tried using each as the disc file, but same error.
Maybe the CD images have had audio re-encoded as mp3/ogg?. It should work if you have all the required files, even within zip files. Alternatively, you can just create a new CD32 configuration manually and select the .cue file in the CD drive selector. In this mode, you need to have the files extracted from the .zip file.
This is a great piece of software and I’m running it on Ubuntu Studio on an 8 year old laptop with no issues!
I might of missed the obvious but is there a Amiga Demobase config I can use FS-uae? I only ask as I’ve tried to set-up Amiga Demobase on my Windows 7 laptop, but with no luck. I’ve a few demo’s and PD games running of FS-uae but would love the full Amiga TOSEC set (minus apps) running on one interface.
I’m I being a bit dumb here 😉
Hi, there’s no official demo database no, but there is something here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=77404
I’m trying to load a cd game to play with an a500 setup, but im not sure how to configure it, I’ve been trying to load the .iso through the cd-rom drive (there’s a .cue also but i’m not sure where to place it) and have not been successful, is there a certain way I need to configure the emulator to get it to load these files?
Hi, I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to do there. Real A500 don’t have CD-ROM drives (and no IDE/SCSI system either). You can add a CD-ROM image to an A500 config, but this will cause a virtual UAE filesystem to be installed to access the CD-ROM content, and that’s not really emulating a CD drive. A CD drive can be emulated if IDE/SCSI is also added via custom configurations.
But are you sure you want do this, instead of say using a CD32 model?
Hey thanks for responding, I’ve tried other setups as well but I can’t figure out which one would load the cd’s .iso/.cue file (the game I want to load should run on all amiga models). I haven’t been able to select the CD itself as the file, the menu only lets me pick the .cue or the .iso file. I tried the CD32 and CDTV but I can’t get them to work either (I’m using the correct kickstart roms and extended roms for both).
I got it to work by loading it with workbench as a .cdr file
