Amiga in Your very cellphone

It's 2009, nothing we do here is of any relevance to the current year, we're not here because of relevance.  I for one think it would be neat to have an Amiga emulator on a mobile.  It would be fun, that's enough.

I second that!

The point I am arguing against is potential for any commercial success from any such venture.

I'd obviously love UAE on my iPhone... but I wouldn't really be able to use it away from a power source, and I would prefer to have the games I use native to the iPhone itself.

Yeah maybe I started the topic with something that goes at the end, or doesn't.

I 199% agree on that working UAE on mobile should be useful, if not, this is just another fancy freak to be shown to your pals at the party.  Maybe I went too far with my claims.  I will try to make a test on my Smartphone, that's all.  If it fails, I will give up this.

Or maybe...  Does Amithlon boot into 1.3 kick??  Maybe that's a shorter path on Linux-powered mobile phones, like Android?

Amithlon is both a dead project from a legal and technical POV, and also only for x86... it is only little use on ARM power mobile devices.

@ bloodline

Please, stick off the iPhone thing!  

:-?

The market is broader, that's for sure.

There is no market for UAE on mobile devices...

And the share seems not following the device's performance.  I love iPhone but as I said here many times, this discussion is about potential, not performance and usability.  

Potential for what?

99.9999998% of the mobile device owning population are not interested in running some old obscure emulator on their mobile devices...

The idea has geek value... but it has been proven that it can be done, and now everyone has moved on.

Just installed PocketUAE on my HTC Magician, but damn its sloooww  :lol: Other then beeing a nerd it has no point for everyone else  :-D

I used to use a program that would overclock the CPU 530Mhz... That should help, also play with the settings a bit, getting rid of as much Audio as possible will help.

Edit: make sure your kickstart is 512k in size and not 256k

Thanks for help.

But which one is it anyway?  AF contains two said files:
- amiga-os-130.rom
- amiga-ext-130-cdtv.rom

and neither takes 512K.

Am I supposed to get it on a torrent?  I gues it would be legally justified now :-)

Just put two 256k files together...
