After experiencing issues trying to install the Amiga Emulator
fsuae due to the packages no longer being available, I decided to install fsuae using the snap package instead.
I have experienced slow installation and performance issues using other snap packages in the past, but was surprised at how quickly this snap installed and also the performance of emulating the Amiga itself.
To install fsuae via snap enter the following command
sudo snap install fsuae
Once installed you will find the FS-UAE-Launcher in your games menu.
If you can't find the menu entry you can run FS-UAE-Launcher by enter the following command in the terminal
fsuae.launcher
Obtaining the Amiga Roms
If you purchase
Amiga Forever, this comes with properly licensed roms that you can use with FSUAE.
After downloading Amiga Forever for Windows, you just need to extract the package and then select the amiga rom you wish to use FSUAE.
As an added bonus, last time I checked Amiga Forever also works in Wine and
Crossover.
