yes yes! PSPUAE v0.1 - Amiga 500 Emulator for the PSP

[hey69]

just released v0.1 of PSPUAE, a port of UAE to the PSP. It runs at about 75-80% of a real Amiga 500 speed but some games are definitly playable like E-Motion or Rick Dangerous.

Pspuae1 Pspuae2 Pspuae3 Pspuae4

To install:

*
If you have a 1.0 firmware, install EBOOT.PBP and the data/ folder to /PSP/GAME/PSPUAE
*
If you have a 1.50 firmware, copy the PSPUAE and PSPUAE% folders to /PSP/GAME
*
Note: PSP-UAE MUST be installed in /PSP/GAME/PSPUAE to work properly
*
Then, you need to put the Amiga Kickstart 1.3 KICK.ROM file into /PSP/GAME/PSPUAE
(Make sure the filename is KICK.ROM)
*
And finally, copy an amiga ADF disk file as /PSP/GAME/PSPUAE/DF0.ADF

I used to have an Amiga 600, one of the best systems I've ever owned, so many amazing games, ah the memories

Hopefully someone is working on an Amiga emulator for the DS.

This is a super-dooper ideal PSP emu! A portable 16+ megabyte Amiga is a truly fanastic concept. Provide USB keyboard support and you can use it for productivity stuff too (if you're crazy enough) along with it's vast supply of cutting edge games (birthplace of many genres). Provide compressed disk images and you could also fit a few hundred games into a small MemStick too.

Sony should really go commercial with emulators, and let the old companies sell old games through the web. If Nintendo are considering it for Revolution, and there seems to be a market, let the likes of Factor5 cash in on Turrican, and Reflections/Psygnosis/whoever they are now SOTB.

And those will all run decently on a PSP now?!?!?

 

[Teasy]

Depends on how compatible this emulator is, which I'm not sure of.

Also I'm not sure if any of those games are Amiga 1200 games. The 1200 had a much faster CPU then the Amiga 500. But I'm sure that the massive majority of those games will work on the Amiga 500.

Loads and loads of Amiga roms here:

All legal apparently (that's what I've been told anyway, jvd feel free to check the site more closely and remove if not).

Teasy : It's nice to see someone talking about games I've played for once Was Star Control 2 released on the Amiga though? I only remember it on PC. The replayability of that game was improved when I hex edited the ship files to change their stats. Remember the Zoq-Fot-Piq with it's red 'tongue'? I had one with a tongue about 500 foot long 8)
