Pocket UAE
« on: May 14, 2006, 11:22:52 AM »
Finally got around to taking some pictures and putting some first impressions down about my HP IPAQ hx 2495 running Pocket UAE.  First off some specs on the hardware.

HP IPAQ hx2495
processor      Intel PXA270 520MHz
system         Windows Mobile 5.0
display        3.5" QVGA TFT 240X320 16bit color
system mem     128mb
system ram     64mb
SD card        2gig
Bluetooth, Wireless LAN with SD/CF card slots

I'm running Pocket UAE emulating the following specs.

A1200
processor      68020/68881
system         Amiga OS 3.1
display        640X256 with 256 color
chip mem       2mb
fast mem       8mb


Finally got a really portable Amiga.  Pretty straight forward setting it up.  If you can config UAE for your PC you shouldn't have any problem configuring this.  Haven't run SysInfo yet but seems to be as peppy as my real A1200.  Software I've tried out so far has worked but without a real keyboard, (has popup stylus type) and with no joystick using some programs will be problematic.  I've also uploaded some pictures of the IPAQ running Pocket UAE.  Since the hardware with a 2Gig SD card cost $500USD it's not a very cost effective.

Standby . . . problems uploading pictures.  Will show up as soon as I can get AOrg to accept them.  

Update . . . should be okay now.  I was trying to upload pictures of the wrong size.

Your absolutely correct. It pops up and you "hunt and peck" the keys.  I've tried "Dungeon Master" and "Zak Mckraken and the Alien Mindbenders" games.  Not quite as good as a real Amiga and the sound skips.  I'd have to say so far the sound emulation is it's major weakness.  Will be trying to get online with it soon.  Game playing on the IPAQ is a drag so didn't expect emulated games to be any easier to control.

I think your Dell Axim will run PocketUAE.  Here's the link.
