uae4all is an Amiga 500/1200 emulator ported to the ps vita. There's still some work to do on this port like keyboard support and better resolution handling, i hope some people will be able to help on this as i do not have a lot of time. But i think this is a good base/start !

Installation:
- install vpk
- put disks (adf) in "ux0:/data/uae4all/roms"
- put kickstart roms (kick13.rom, kick31.rom) in "ux0:/data/uae4all/kickstarts/"

Usage:
- cross : button 1
- square : button 2
- triangle : button 3
- circle : button 4
- select : return to menu
- start : change input mode (joystick, mouse, custom) / return to emulation when in menu
- R : reset (run emulator)
- L + R + UP / DOWN : move screen up/down

Thanks:
consolex-bordeaux.fr for the support !
ScHlAuChi for the help/advices/testing !
rsn8887

Changelog (uae4all-2016.12.18.vpk):
  • (re)enable vsync
  • add "shader" option in config file (0 = NONE, 1 = LCD3X, 2 = SCALE2X, 3 = AAA, 4 = SHARP_BILINEAR, 5 = FXAA
  • enable fself compression
  • center screen vertically
  • 2* scaling for exact pixel sizes (no more wobble) (rsn8887)
  • better file attributes for HD Dirs so they work on Amiga side (rsn8887)
  • fixed display of more or less lines than 240 (rsn8887)

Woohoo. Certainly enjoyed the Amiga and know how it's a notoriously difficult machine to emulate due to its custom chips so looking forward to giving this one a spin.

Many thanks for porting this across, it's appreciated :toot:

Brilliant! Thanks for this, I can't get enough of SWOS! Do you know if this is better than the psp amiga emu which runs on Adrenaline? You rule dude!

Seems better to me! I ran Ruff 'n Tumble last night... it's very smooth, with no frame skipping needed. Games that didn't work on the PSP game do work here.

Anyway, thank you Easter Bunny- er, Cpasjuste, for this unexpected treat.

Wow I have some great memories from the Amiga500 with games like Settlers and Worms, I'll be sure to give this a look, thanks for the effort in bringing it to the Vita!

You should have entered it for the gekiHEN competition. Good work though.

Edit - I just checked, it's already an entry :D

Have you tried SWOS on this?

Damn after a bit of messing about getting the workbench files in the right order (and renamed correctly) I was blown away, taken me back 20+ years with this, praise the maker!

Does anybody know the correct resolution to set to avoid games overscanning off the bottom of the screen? The vast majority of Amiga games are PAL, which aren't really well suited to the Vita screen. Cannon Fodder cropsa the bottom of the screen quite badly.

Just been using the control of holding L+R and using up or down to see the extra parts of the screen, I've not found a way to just fill the screen with the emu, I'm guessing since there is controls to pan around what we see the creator hasn't fixed this issue yet.

Couldn't tell you; not a soccer fan, sensible or otherwise.

Right now I'm trying to find a way to put the larger games in HDF files, so I don't have to constantly swap discs. It's not going so well. =(

If you have figured a way to compact games down into a more manageable (fun) size lol give me a poke please, Looking at the daunting task of Simon the Sorcerer on 9 Floppy discs reminds me of why floppys were not a great way to have huge games lol.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Bigonya uses his wiener to mod 360s

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
