Installed fs-uae will not start from menu

[xenial]

hi,
i have downloaded and installed fs-uae amiga emulator from the puppy software manager and it reported as installed but upon clicking within my menu item it does not launch. ..any ideas how to get this going please.?
thanks.

You are not the first True, I did not take from PPM (there is version 3.0.2), but on his home site, there is 3.0.5.
But the bottom line is - it took me a LOT of time to get it to work. There you need to look in terminal what Python modules it needs and these are not always obvious options.
By the way, you cannot run a user-friendly GUI written in Python. You can start the emulator itself in terminal with the fs-uae and fs-uae-arcade commands.

Is anyone else running fs-uae on puppy succesfully.?

I can't tell if that's also the case in Puppy, but in Fatdog, in order to launch the latest fs-uae-3.0.5 (official, portable build), I need to do this:

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH= ./Launcher

It's because it requires Qt-5.12 libs, which are included, but the emulator picks up the Qt libraries from Fatdog, which are 5.11.

Greetings!

Greetings jake.
I am awaiting for feedback before installing the fs-uae again.I do have 2 real amiga500 computers but i was hoping to get the emulator working on my laptop.
thanks.

Fossapup has Qt version 5.12.8. And I still remember that I installed a lot of Python modules

Ok i have managed to get fs-uae launched from the terminal but now i cannot remember how to get the config screen to import kickstart ROMS and floppy disks etc.

Help please.

When i launch via the terminal i get the workbench screen but i don't know how to open the config window.

Just launch fs-uae-launcher instead of fs-uae.

It will not launch.i have got the emulator running just fine and it is great to have some of my old amiga favourites running but i have to manually enter the adf files into the default fs-uae file which is a bit of a pain but it runs.

I ran the launcher in the terminal and a couple of errors pointed to the libqt5core needing version 5.6...does anyone have version 5.6 running in xenialpup 32bit.

Unfortunately, I have already "uninstalled" Xenialpup and switched to Fossa. So I can't build and check the "correct" version.

I now have fs-uae successfully up and running and thanks to everyone for the help.
