I have looked ont he forum of the pocketpc but there forum is not the best int he world. and also is there any other pocket pc emulator about.

Well, I've not seen that particular iPaq. I might think that there would be more information on pocketinsanity.com. That said, though, have you used UAE before on any systems? If so, are you sure you have Kickstart ROM images that are valid? Are your paths valid? Can you get a kickstart 1.3 screen up, if you mount no disks?
As far as I know, PocketUAE is the only Amiga emu for PDAs.
Also, if your model really is the iPaq h1920, it has two strikes against it from the start. It would be a Japanese/Chinese market item, and it features a 200 mhz XScale. UAE barely runs fast enough to be useful on my iPaq 4155, which features a 400 mhz XScale....

I have the same problem with pocketUAE on my Medion PPC250 & my iPAQ rx3715. I use WinUAE all the time with no problems.
Would love to get this running (especially as its one of the main reasons I bought a Pocket PC!!)
Any help with this would be great.

I have an ancient Ipaq 3850 (CPU StrongARM 200Mhz, pre-Xscale) , upgraded to WM2003 and it used to run an early build of PocketUAE fine for the better part of the last two years. Speed wasn't too bad either, provided sound was turned off.
Then my battery died and I had to reinstall everything; I haven't been able to get it to work since. I suspect that some change in the later versions may be to blame. One of these days I'll have to search for an older version and see if that works.
If you're desparate for amiga-like gaming, try CastCE (atari ST emulator). Works like a charm, but then again it's not amiga...

True just would like to carry workbench round with me, maybe will have to go over my setting just can not think why it will not run. I made the hard drive file on my win uae and copyed my kickstart rom across and put it int he rite places its just a shame it will not run.
