Just Jamie presents a detailed new guide explores the FS-UAE arcade mode, showing how to set up the emulator, configure controllers, and play Amiga games in full-screen style. The video walks through each step, from installing version 3.0.5 to customizing the look with themes and bezels.
Starting with the installation, the host explains that version 3.0.5 is the last release featuring FS-UAE arcade mode directly out of the box. The process begins by downloading the correct build, creating folders for WHDLoad games, and registering at OpenRetro.org. This step allows automatic fetching of game artwork and metadata. The guide emphasizes using Amiga Forever to obtain legitimate Kickstart ROMs, making configuration simple and reliable.
Next, the tutorial demonstrates pairing a Bluetooth controller, scanning for WHDLoad games, and adjusting emulator settings. Users learn how to map folders, import Kickstarts, and verify that the Xbox controller works immediately after setup. Once configured, launching games like The Killing Game Show or Kid Gloves shows smooth gameplay and quick input response.
The video then covers enabling full-screen mode and activating FS-UAE arcade mode, where games display in an attractive gallery layout. Players can swap disks, adjust controls, or access emulator options using an intuitive side panel. For visual flair, the guide explains adding themes such as the Commodore 1084 monitor bezel by editing advanced settings with a quick code snippet.
By the end, viewers have a fully functional, beautifully themed Amiga setup running in FS-UAE arcade mode. The host closes by confirming that version 3.0.5 remains a reliable option for Amiga fans seeking an easy and immersive way to play WHDLoad titles on modern systems.
