oagd-lauch

What is this?

Oagd-launch is a launcher for the great multiplatform Amiga emulator fs-uae. It can quickly fire up your floppy-based games from your file-manager or the terminal. It uses built-in configs from fs-uae extended by the ones stored in the Open Amiga Game Database, so no additional configuration should be necessary. Of course you can still write your favourite default settings to $BASEDIR/Configurations/Host.fs-uae

Requirements

• Linux
• fs-uae
• local Game Database fetched by fs-uae-launcher (=>2.3.8dev)
• Python 3

Installation

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo wget -N https://raw.github.com/sonnenscheinchen/oagd-launch/master/oagd-launch
sudo chmod +x oagd-launch

Usage

• From the terminal (recommended):

oagd-launch <disk-image>

• Using you favourite file manager:
  • open a directory containing your floppy-images
  • right-click on an image, choose "open with..." (or something similar)
  • point to oagd-launch
  • play the game :-)

Bugs/Limitations

• because the launcher needs to checksum all your floppy-images to find the corresponding disks, the first start can be quite slow
• only basic configuration is done for now, it is not as accurate as the "official" fs-uae-launcher yet, but it works for most games...
• save states are disabled, because the configuration is created temporary
