Frode Solheim is continuing to develop FS-UAE
The Amiga emulator FS-UAE and its associated launcher is a platform-independent version of UAE for Windows, Mac OS X and numerous Linux and BSD variants. The last version of FS-UAE & Launcher, version 3.1.66, was released on 3 January 2022. Now Frode Solheim, the main developer of FS-UAE, has posted a detailed update posted on the English Amiga Board. He admits that he has been overworking himself over the last few years, but assures everyone that he is healthy and will not simply give up on the project without ensuring an orderly handover.
Recently, he has taken the first steps to modernise FS-UAE and OpenRetro:
- Distro-specific builds for current distributions have been created.
- The website fs-uae.net has been migrated to a new host server and the underlying software has been updated.
An upgrade for openretro.org is still pending, whereby old Python 2 code has to be ported to Python 3. He also plans to support newer WHDLoad versions and take a look at the current development of WinUAE 6 to integrate possible improvements into FS-UAE. Despite challenges, he remains motivated and is open to further collaborators, even though the organisational effort for community-driven development should not be underestimated. (nba)
