Translations were missing from FS-UAE Launcher on Windows and Linux, so I've posted new versions with translations included

Also, due to changes in SDL2, some controllers (Xbox controllers at least) have new IDs and the bundled controller mappings no longer match. So you need to remap your controller in Launcher settings if you cannot utilize all buttons anymore. I'll see if I can get new controller configs included in an update!

The new download page for FS-UAE 3.1 is finally ready. It contains builds for Windows, macOS, Linux and links to download repositories for several Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE).

Fresh builds of version 3.1 are now available for Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and openSUSE. Go to the download page to find the commands to add the repositories.

The repositories are all hosted by the openSUSE Build Service. Previously, I've also pushed out builds via Ubuntu's PPA service, but I will most likely not continue doing this since it is easier for me do to distribute everything via this single service.

I've made post over at the English Amiga Board with links to a preview build of FS-UAE 4 for Raspberry Pi 4. Please head over there for more details if you are interested :)

I have made a post over at the English Amiga Board with links to FS-UAE & Launcher version 3.1. I recommend that most users using 3.0.5 upgrade to this version. I haven't updated the downloads section here yet, among other things because there isn't an installer available yet. But it's still easy to download and install version 3.1.

It is especially recommended for macOS users to upgrade, as this latest version fixes some annoying issues on recent macOS versions.

The following links point to the latest stable version compiled for macOS_ARM64. These are 3.1.x versions based on slightly newer code than the 3.0.5 version.

FS-UAE-Launcher_Stable_macOS_ARM64.dmg
FS-UAE_Stable_macOS_ARM64.dmg

Compared to previous downloads, FS-UAE Launcher.app no longer contains an embedded FS-UAE.app. Therefore, you need to download both of the .dmg files above and place FS-UAE Launcher.app and FS-UAE.app beside eachother, for example in the /Applications folder. I haven't had time to fix builds of FS-UAE Arcade yet.

There are also macOS_ARM64 builds available for the 4.x development snapshots. If interested, please see this forum thread for links and more information.

I do get some questions asking for an FS-UAE version running natively on Apple silicon / M1. The short answer is that it is possible to build a working version for M1, but I don't yet provide official builds due to not having access to the hardware. Please see this recent thread on the English Amiga Board for more information: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=106970.

There has also been reports about joystick/gamepad devices not working on M1 hardware with FS-UAE 3.0.5. I have created newer builds - available here for now: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=105950 - which are reported to fix the issue :)

EDIT: Official ARM64 builds for Apple silicon / M1 are coming.

Warren Vercueil has written a nice and thorough guide on getting FS-UAE on Linux set up with real MIDI hardware. The guide was written to use Bars and Pipes with MIDI hardware, but should work with other Amiga MIDI software as well.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested the guide myself.

Note: If all you want to do is to play back MIDI tunes, for example to use FS-UAE to play Sierra games with MT-32 music (using an MT-32 emulator on your host computer), you should wait until FS-UAE 3.9.x arrives, which should support this use case on all platforms via the portmidi library.

A new stable version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 3.0.3:

A new stable version has been released. Changes in FS-UAE 3.0.1:

• No changes.

Changes in FS-UAE Launcher 3.0.2
