Amiga in Your very cellphone

[ajlwalker]

I actually missed this thread before.

I installed uae4all for symbian on my N95 just the other day and it is pretty neat.

Nebulus for example runs at 25 fps with full sound no problem.

I was so impressed I am considering a bluetooth mouse for it!

Played it for about 30 mins yesterday (not a full charge) and my phone still has two bars left (24 hrs later) and the N95's battery has a shockingly poor life.

Could you please give me some clues on how to run it properly?  I spent some time on trying, no result.

I got Nokia E65 s60v3fp2 which is close to your N95 system, maybe less in terms of memory and CPU.  I managed to install the software and placed the kick file.  The point is I cannot make any adf/adz game work, after running emulation the screen goes blank...

EDIT* Can you also provide tests of battery lifetime while on emulation?

Did anybody else manage to try and run it??

Hmm, after a quick look, your CPU is lower but working memory is the same as N95 I think.

Firstly I wouldn't worry about an adf, just try and run it without to see if you get the kickstart screen.  I used 1.3 and you must ensure it is called KICK13.ROM.

Do you get the on screen display when you run it?  Maybe you have just been unlucky with adfs and compatibility.  Track down nebulus.  I can confirm this works on both 512k and 1Mb chip RAM.

Good luck!

Do you even get the UAE4all welcome screen?  This should be the first thing to appear.  If not it could be a problem with your kickstart.  Try running it with no kickstart file at all.  You should get the welcome screen, and then a screen with the boing ball in the background and text saying something like "no kickstart file".

If you do the above, and still get a black screen it could be you don't have enough RAM on your phone.  Have you shut down as many other things on your phone as possible such as bluetooth/wifi and any other apps?

Please report back.  Good luck!

I agree with NitrousB.  I reckon it can only be the kickstart image then.

I'm not sure where I got mine, it was on my desktop machine.  I think I took it from an old Retro computing magazine coverdisc that had a stripped down version of AmigaForever on it.

If I were you I'd get a torrent of it.  So long as you own the physical ROM I wouldn't be bothered ethically speaking.

Again, best of luck!
