A Proper Handheld A500 Style Games Console - Cool Idea?!

[Ilwrath]

Why not just run PocketUAE on a sufficiently powerful PDA?  A few hundred bucks and a vendor can have it heading toward your house tonight.

I play Nuclear War on PocketUAE on my iPaq 4155 all the time.

Yes, an A500 handheld is possible.........and it can be done cheaper than people think.  People say the chips are made anymore......who cares....they can be imitated...look at the C=64 DTV...........its a real C=64 even though the chips are "Supposedly" not made anymore.....well somone found a way.........the same can be done with the A500, although it would be best if it were a CD32 handheld with WHDload in it so it can run a majority of the games, say with some sort of 68060 in it, Plus play MP3 and Quicktime movies etc....with a 20 gig or 40gig HD in it like the iPODS........then it will be a Pocket Amiga!  Boy.....my dream come true......oh and with S-Video out to display on large tv if need be............like the SEGA NOMAD.


@x56h34

is that Sledge Hammer on your Avatar?

I see that guy in person every week in Manhattan........he looks much better now and surprisingly healthy.

He gives me bad looks though.........Don't think he likes me :-)
I dont know his name, so I call him Sledge hammer :-)

naah, guess it'd be much cooler if the I-pod (with a 20-40gb hd) was bundled together with a gp32 (with a bit newer technology of course), plus touchscreen,  and of course UAE ported to it :-)

Sounds like a Pocket Media Assistant:-)
Whenever they release the SDK...

Now only if they had put buttons on it alike a handheld console, and it was just IT :-)
Still, it's a very cool thingy..

USB 1.1 Host port

so just get a gamepad and some ducktape :lol:

For PocketUAE I have noticed that the
Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX 720 has USB-host and can use keyboards, gamepads and mice!
