Download FS-UAE for Windows

Download the two.zip archives and extract the contained FS-UAE and FS-UAE-Launcher folders to wherever you like. You must keep these two folders stored alongside each other.

The fs-uae-launcher.exe executable is found within FS-UAE-Launcher/Windows/x86-64. You can of course make a shortcut to this to make starting it more convenient.

A Windows installer is currently not available. It will probably return in some form in the future.

Plugins

The following plugins can be used to extend the functionality of FS-UAE. CAPSImg provides support for .ipf floppy images while QEMU-UAE provides PPC emulation support.

The plugins must be installed into Documents/FS-UAE/System. For example, the CAPSImg directory should be extracted as Documents/FS-UAE/System/CAPSImg.

Portable version

If you want to convert Documents/FS-UAE to a portable directory which you can move wherever you want, just follow these two simple steps:

FS-UAE Arcade

FS-UAE Arcade builds are not done for version 3.1 yet. However, arcade mode is included with FS-UAE Launcher. So you can generally run fs-uae-launcher --arcade to launch the arcade interface if you know how to run the executable directly with additional arguments.
