UAE on R4DS? (Amiga running on Nintendo DS)
« on: August 23, 2007, 01:31:14 PM »
Hey all- long time no post... (no news!) I've just been researching the Nintendo DS, in particular a nifty little unit called the R4 which allows storage of all kinds of multimedia files & games on a microSD card for playback on the DS.

So far they've emulated just about every retro console you can think of, and ported a host of oldschool games- including Amiga Lemmings. Someone even got Mac OS 7.5 running on it.

Just wondering if there's a UAE port for it? Amiga in my pocket, all on a flash card... dual screens... (touch screen and all!) How cool is that??!?

Can anyone throw hope at this wild fantasy?

Cheers,
RW

Thanks for the quick replies! That GP2X thing looks amazing! (if only it had a touch screen...) ;)

I'm curious about what you said regarding required computing power for emulation of the Amiga... My a600 only has a 7mhz cpu, and the DS according to wikipedia has: "Two ARM processors, an ARM946E-S main CPU and ARM7TDMI co-processor at clock speeds of 67 MHz and 33 MHz respectively, with 4 MB of main memory which requires 1.65 volts."

I know there has to be room for emulation etc, but surely there's enough grunt there to let me run Rebels Megademo II or something? =)


Is there a "lite" version of UAE that might do the trick?

I kind of need to get a DS for work, so it would be great to be able to do retro Amiga stuff on it as well... ;)

Thanks for your input!
