Amiga-Emulator: FS-UAE 2.6.0beta1 (2nd Update)
Frode Solheim's FS-UAE is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD and based on WinUAE and "includes an easy-to-use graphical configuration program which allows you to enjoy FS-UAE and Amiga emulation without writing configuration files.". Since the last stable version released in March (2.4.1), so far only developer versions have been released.
Changes in FS-UAE:
- New option floppy_drive_volume_empty
- Switched default key mapping for host backslash and insert keys
- Use GLEW instead of GLee for OpenGL extensions
- When not using FS-UAE Launcher, model A1200 defaulted to kickstart 3.0
Changes in FS-UAE-Launcher:
- Changed tab panel appearance on OS X to match other platforms
- Renamed language prefs to appearance prefs, added launcher theme option
- Close login dialog before opening database refresh dialog
- Settings UI for specifying empty floppy drive volume (or disabling it)
- Added keyboard settings to configure equals/insert/backslash/less mapping
- Added support for WHDLoad 18.1, set as default version
- Replaced some icons, added new rom/ram icon
- Fixed an issue with the new CPU selection
Update: (06.08.2015, 14:50, cg)
Meanwhile version 2.5.35dev is available.
Changes in FS-UAE:
- Fixed bug (lockup) when quitting FS-UAE from Amiga side on some platforms.
- Fixed a potential key repeat issue (could not reproduce original problem).
- Load kickstart replacement from data files instead of embedding in executable.
- Re-enabled serial port (was disabled in 2.5.31dev), fixed AROS Kickstart replacement.
- Share serial port emulation code with WinUAE.
Known bugs:
- When entering the GUI using modifier+F12, the modifier key(s) sticks in the emulated Amiga when you return to the emulation.
- Graphical flickering in Workbench with non-cycle-exact emulation.
- When starting FS-UAE from FS-UAE Launcher, accelerator flashs ROM writes are not persistent because the launcher uses a new copy every time.
Changes in FS-UAE-Launcher:
- Added All Games / All Configurations to drop-down.
- Nicer behavior when kickstart ROM for chosen model is missing.
- Moved more warnings and information to status bar.
- Fixed handling of downloadable games.
- Use Fusion QT style on all platforms by default.
- Default to Fusion Adwaita style variant when running under GNOME 3.
- Show warning icon in settings if option is overriden by configuration.
- Fixed OAGD.net locker uploader.
- New additional configuration page.
- Moved custom configuration (button) to additional config page.
- Removed some “noise” from custom configuration and advanced settings.
2nd Update: (17:55, 08.08.15, snx)
In the meantime, FS-UAE 2.6.0beta1 has been released. It is intended as a semi-stable version for new users as a replacement for the latest stable release (2.4.3).
Improvements over version 2.4.3 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)
- Many bug fixes
Support for IPF disk images is now provided by a plugin which you need to download separately. (cg) (Translation: dr)
