after the install finishes, run: fs-uae-launcher

its time for customization of the program. click the left top icon and
make sure to enter the correct directories for rom files and bios files.
you have to get some bios/kickstart files or else you want be able to
boot the system.

so, go to settings > file database and enter the correct paths. after that
press "update file database" for the program to find all files. make sure
that the bios/kickstart files are not inside archives/zip or else the
program may not find them. extract them to be sure.

in the first tab you should be able to choose the system you want to
emulate. an amiga 4000 is not always the best selection! if some
games/apps crash on an amiga 4000 try an amiga 500 or amiga 1200.
testing... is the key word! some games play with an a500, others with
a1200... other games need some expansion card etc. you should try to run
the game with an a500 as default and if you get problems then "upgrade" to
a higher system.

if you downloaded games that their files are .ipf and not .adf you need to
get the ipf plugin from the fs-uae site:

https://fs-uae.net/download#plugins

download the file and unzip the .so file under Documents/FS-UAE/Plugins
directory.

from the first tab of the uae-launcher, you can choose the virtual game
disks to load into the system. from what i know, because some games need
multiple disks, you can't execute them with the .zip file. if the game
has only one disk, you can point to the zip file and it will run. but if
the .zip contains multiple disk files, you have to extract them. i use
patool under linux, which will extract multiple zip files and also create
directories and put the extracted files in there, so every game has its
own directory and all is organized. games that have only one disk, will
be etracted in the same directory.

to load games with multiple disks, under the disk tab, use the multi-select
button and select all disk files. increase the number of drives if you need.

and its not all that! fs-uae and running amiga games is not so simple. i
didn't cover up about whdload games and registering to oagd.net and getting
profiles... watch the video below to learn about:
