[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
Hi folks, I spent a good part of my sunday (and friday night, let's be honest) to port UAE4All for Android. So here's UAE4Droid. Most games are working fine, don't expect killer framerates though (it should be faster on a Droid). I don't plan to actively support this app, so here's the catch:

-no sound

-physical controls only (that's why I post here, you can configure them btw)

-no save states (the original project does not implement them, and I'm no good at understand basics of the 68000 emulation)

-should be ok starting from Android 1.5 but I didn't test it (Dream on Cyanogen here).

You need to own a rom copy and some disks to use this legally, of course. If there's some good feedbacks, maybe I'll put it in the market (already done a couple of emulators there). Enjoy !

Edit 12/27 : Now with sound and touch controls on the Android Market
[G1 Apps and Games] Freedomcaller:
damn you did this in one day?
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
make it one and a half :)

It's a port, not that hard, once you got some Android knowledge, the basics of the SDK-NDK interaction, and the open source works from several people. And I left some parts (sound and touch controls), quite buggy/boring to code
[G1 Apps and Games] jzanitsch:
Did you ever know that you were my hero? Seriously, great stuff! If you could add sound this would be the best thing I have on my phone!
[G1 Apps and Games] Areinu:
Amazing. Superfrog works pretty well. If I could just insert all floppies at once it would be completely awesome.

If you're not planning on supporting this too much in the future would you consider making it open source?

It's completely fun to put android next to my old ami500, old 1200 and turn on superfrog on each :D
[G1 Apps and Games] 2TallSwede:
Oh wow...that's pretty impressive. Superfrog on my phone would be awesome! I'll have to try it.
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
Ok, hate to leave work unfinished so I added the sound and touch controls. Watch the Market, it should appear there soon.

btw to enable the sound on a HTC Dream makes the emulator a little more sluggish, well now at least you'll have the choice (or buy a 2nd gen Android device :p)
[G1 Apps and Games] Gerdal:
Not working properly. App asks me to force close when I'm pressing MENU button... Previous build (from first post) works properly. Can I please to fix this bug?

After all, great job :)
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
Damn, I didn't make that much changes, could you get me a log trace ?
[G1 Apps and Games] Gerdal:
Hmm It's weird... After a couple of restarts of phone, the app is working correctly... I will leave a post (and logcat) when this problem come back.
[G1 Apps and Games] Kubax83:
Sadly doesn't Install on Eclair.

adb install gives Error Message "INSTALL_FAILED_CPU_ABI_INCOMPATIBLE"
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
looks like a modded ROM issue to me (this emulator is compiled for ARM, no doubt about it). Try the one from the market
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
Wow this works really well, playing Superfrog on it now :) Any plans to add save states to this?

I wonder how much better performance is on the droid. Superfrog plays perfectly on my G1 with frame skip disabled and sound off, having it on made it more jerky.

Also would it possible to have the escape key mapped to something, like the shutter button or as a menu item, i'm sure some games needed it to get into the menu.

Thanks for porting this!!
[G1 Apps and Games] Dac0908:
5 stars from me :)

works great, played with it a little. kickstarted 3.0 ROM, loaded game with no problems - but Hero's hardware isn't up to it. Maybe on my next android, with faster CPU and proper keyboard...
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
Only problem I have had is it doesn't seem to like some of my Kickstart rom files, it works fine with one of the 1.3 roms I had with WinUAE, but says Invalid for most of the others including 3.1, all of which work in WinUAE, any ideas?
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
what's the exact size of the non working roms ?
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
Non working rom size is as follows:

3.1 - 524,299 bytes

Just thinking could it be because it is a rom from Amiga Forever from Cloanto, do they use a keyfile for the rom?
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
No, because I thought every roms was 524288 bytes long. Will update the market version tonight
[G1 Apps and Games] DocMAX:
Blazing fast on a Droid/Milestone! Thanks a lot. Just the Mouse-Control is still a little buggy. For Disk-Activity you could use the green/red led! =)
[G1 Apps and Games] lxrose:
how keyboard is emulated

Hi,

I have successfully set-up UAE4Droid, tried my favorite game, but it(Pinball Fantasies) needs alt or shift to control the game. I could not figure out how to play the game because of this. (Pressing alt or shift on the G1 does not work. )

Anybody know how to use these keys?

Thanks

Sandor
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
works with all my roms now thanks, mouse control is kinda unusable tho, always clicks the mouse when you press the screen so you can't move the pointer, all i can do on workbench is drag the screen up or down.
[G1 Apps and Games] paul-iwan:
it's a great emulator, but now I get the message "Software Failure Press left mouse button to continue. Error: 000 004 Task: 00002730"

reinstall didn't work. I get this message after I tried "save game".

so, how can i get this emulator back to work :confused:
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
sure, at least I'll try to make the mouse better (already have some mails and comments about it :p).
[G1 Apps and Games] mcdonaa:
What a great app you've made shagrath78! One request (if that is not cheeky) - I`m running it on a Hero, and playing games is obviously easier with the hard keys. I can configure Vol+/- to left right, the seach button to down, but I cannot configure the 'back' button (which I would like as 'up') because the 'Press a key!' dialog box is dismissed with the back button. Is it possible to modify that dialog box to only dismiss when the 'Cancel' button is pressed using the touch screen?

Also, would be great if the trackball worked as the mouse so that you could use workbench properly.

Many thanks for a great app for Android though!

Aaron.
[G1 Apps and Games] FormelLMS:
Errr, where can I find that?

I think I'm blind.
[G1 Apps and Games] varius64:
Hi. I tried it on Galaxy Spica(i5700) but all I get is black screen:/ tried with 13 20 and 31 roms and with few games. Any ideas?
[G1 Apps and Games] Gawis:
yeah, I have the same on my HTC Hero with MCR 3.2b5..

tried 0.7, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.04, 2.05, 2.3, 3.1 and several revisions of them

also tried modified rom's and origgrabs

all I get is a black screen

most likely we both are doing something wrong but i's hard to see what as there is no manual or info available :(

any tips are very welcome as I would just love New Zealand story from my old A1000 on my Hero :)
[G1 Apps and Games] friedgoldmole:
Are you still working on this, still looking forward to a fix for the touch screen control!
[G1 Apps and Games] scotte9999:
I doubt you guys are doing anything wrong. On my G1, fresh after a reboot I can start UAE with a 1.3 or 2.04 ROM and get to a workbench screen. A 2nd invocation, or trying to start UAE after the phone has been up for awhile, fails in the same way you describe: just a black screen.

Logcat doesn't show anything super interesting, but my suspicion is some kind of memory fragmentation that UAE isn't handling properly (and so is getting stuck). Not sure how to help debug though, but I'm totally open! I'd love to get this working psuedo-reliably!
[G1 Apps and Games] jaapsen:
please post on slideme.org

Great work, I'm really eager to try and test but can you please make this app available on slideme.org so that people outside the US and Europe can also access your great app!

Google decided in it's infinite wisdom that the market place is only accessible to people in the US and the EU, plus a handful of other countries, but many countries no access :( My HTC hero didn't even come with the market app. Installing it doesn't work and accessing the market is forbidden, unless I root my phone, which I may do..

But being the google market is kind of closed, I don't like its spirit. slideme.org is free and open to all.

thanks a million
[G1 Apps and Games] Morti:
Loving this, great piece of software and I've successfully played a bit of Superfrog and New Zealand Story, all good.

However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to swap disks. I tried with Zool and Sleep Walker. I tried setting the second disk in the menu, tried changing the disks on the fly in the settings (without resetting)... what am I missing? Is there another button somewhere I should be pressing? This is using a Kickstart 2.04 ROM.

Thanks.
[G1 Apps and Games] Morti:
Okay, think I just made it work. I have no idea how. Hm. Probably something stupid I was doing. Disregard.
[G1 Apps and Games] rushless:
Where can I download this fine app (Nevermind- found it!)? I have an Amiga 500 and 1200. Good times!

WOW!

Stunt Track Racer, Super Twintris and Super Obliteration work great with sound!

Looking forward to a market release version so I can buy it :)

Good times :)
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
Anyone know how to do a right click?

Great app by the way... the most used app on my phone to date!
[G1 Apps and Games] Renegade_Rulez:
Seperate Mouse and Joystick buttons

I really like your emulator is it awesome full speed no frameskip on my motorola milestone :)

Can the mouse button and joystick button be mapped seperately?

Can't play "It came from the desert" when you click the mouse button it pauses the game, you need to click the joystick button to start the game.

So please make an option to seperate mouse and joystick button so that and probably a lot of other games can be played as well.

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
Any news on the next update for this fantastic emulator?
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
Sorry for the lack of news.... For the next version, I have just made some minor modifications: NTSC support, disk activity status, and I ditched the open GL technics and texture aliasing : this gives the image a 'more retro' look, but increase the framerate a lot. Jim Powers on a nexus one is visually impressive :)

I'll try to add right mouse support at least and release a new build

Edit: maybe I spoke too fast, the speed up is not really a speed up, it's a workaround for the low perf of the N1 with openGl Texture management (needs to investigate)
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
This is excellent news! I can't wait for the next release, keep up the good work :D
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
It seems save states are possible but at the cost of a lot of speed
[G1 Apps and Games] lubomyr:
if possible, please add in future version new mode - mouse emulation (for moving mouse cursor by keyboard)
[G1 Apps and Games] stormtroopa:
The emulator works quite nice with the 500+ Rom on my Desire.

Great job!

I think the popularity of the emulator will depend very much on the controls.

I suggest a possibility for the user to map seperate screen parts (or phone-hardware keys) to amiga-keys or -mouse. So no screen area is sacrificed for controls and may be fully used for visualization.

E.g. in a pinball game the shift-keys which are used to control the levers could be mapped to the left and right bottom corner.

Or a shooters like Turrican can be controlled like Abuse on the iPhone (a very nice approch for a on screen control!)

Some posts before it has been suggested to make the project open source. I find this a great idea. I also would contribute to the UAE4DROID project.
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
Just released v0.97, here's the release notes straight from the market:

- Faster on snapdragon based phones

- Additional core with save states (disabled by default because it's slower, your call)

- NTSC

- Drive status

- Right mouse click

The new CPU core is very cool (save states is a big time saver :p), could be more compatible than the current one but quite slow unfortunately. It's good on a N1 (Jim Powers at 30fps), mostly OK on a Droid (Superfrog at 20 fps), and quite unplayable on a Dream. (That's why the ARM cyclone core is still checked by default)

source package will follow. enjoy
[G1 Apps and Games] fotoingo:
It works like a dream an my Milestone (overclocked to 1 Ghz)

Could you please add an option for turning the screen upside down (180 degree) ?

(Like snesoid etc can do)

The d-pad on the milestone/droid is on the right side of the keyboard but on gamepads they´re on the left side.

So turning the device + screen 180 degrees "solves" this problem.

Do you think this can be done ?

Thanx for all the previous work too !!!!

Feels great to play Turrican on my Milestone !

@shagrath78

updated to 0.97

works faster on Samsung I5700 spica

but right mouse click - not work

tried remap right mouse click on search key, but without success :(
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
Another great update! Keep them coming!!
[G1 Apps and Games] lubomyr:
some games when active 2 or more floppy drives - crash (for example Reunion, Skidmarks)

Please add in future version:

1) in configure: change number of active floppy drives

2) mouse move by d-pad key

3) right mouse click (not work in latest v0.97 on my Samsung Spica, Android 2.1)
[G1 Apps and Games] Degurney:

Hi

will this work with the wiimote controller? looking forward to speedball 2, the likes of which have never been repeated outside of Amiga/ST-dom?

[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
Posted 0.98 with right mouse fixes, and some regressions fixes
[G1 Apps and Games] lubomyr:
0.98 much slower than 0.97 :(
[G1 Apps and Games] lubomyr:
mouse click not work in 0.98
[G1 Apps and Games] lubomyr:
0.98.1 mouse click now works :)

please add in future version:

-mouse moving emulation - moving mouse cursor use joystick (DPAD keys)

-change number of active drive 1-4 (some games crash when exist in system more than one df0 drive)

and v0.97 much faster than 0.98.x on my Samsung Spica (Android 2.1) :(

with frameskip 4 i have great sound in 0.97, but with latest version sound work not good

Thanks

mouse buttons

Curious. On a droid, if I try to type, all the keys work, except that L and O appear assigned to be mouse buttons. If I reassign them, this is ignored. If I click "change mouse button" in the menu, this appears to have no effect?

Is it possible yet to toggle or change the mouse buttons?
[G1 Apps and Games] G3f:
This is awesome, it works like a charm on N1, really quick, can anyone recommend some games that work well without a physical keyboard though? I figured mouse games would be the ideal with the trackball as the touchscreen mouse seems to be a bit out of whack.

I tried UFO but it corrupted disk 3, I think, by trying to write back to it, is there a way round this anyone knows of? Also is this capable of saving to a disk at all? If I create a blank adf in WinUAE and use it as a save game disk?

Anyway, keep up the good work, with some UI/Control improvements this could be pretty amazing. I'd certainly part with some cash for it anyway.
[G1 Apps and Games] jasonp1980:
Eventaully got this working, seems smooth on my Nexus 1 with Froyo 2.2

However would be great if you could implement support for WiimoteContoller App, would be very playable, at the moment it looks great on screen but cant really play games at to full potential as controll method lacking.

Would pay for this app inline with the price of Gameboid.
[G1 Apps and Games] badmrfrosty:
Black Screen

If you get a black screen after pressing "Start Amiga" try disabling "Cyclone M68k emulation" in the options screen. Doing that makes it work on my Galaxy S.

In other news, great job with the emulator :)
[G1 Apps and Games] spoonwzd:
I can't get this to run at all on my Desire running Macado Froyo r8 rom.

Without "Cyclone M68k emulation" enabled I just get a black screen, and with it enabled the DF0: disk counter just wanders around track 47/48/49/50.

Have tried loads of different ROMs and .adf files. Any idea what gives?
[G1 Apps and Games] Zendik:
Is the source code available somewhere?

Tks, Zendik.

In latest version exist eject disk, but this not help to solve problem.
[G1 Apps and Games] GreenSnake:
First of all, great job! Thanks to remind me the great time with this emulator.

On Samsung Galaxy S, I've got blackscreen on second game I try. It will not work again until I completely shut down the phone. Maybe there is a problem on memory desallocation ? Thanks to fix it.

Author is french I guess : Bravo la France !

hello i want to try this on my htc hero...... but i can not find a working rom-kickstart...... i tried a lot. please help me
[G1 Apps and Games] GreatLord:
Kickstart 2.0 and down will work

it seam it is hardcode to M68000

Kickstart 3.0 and higher need M680x00 cpu

Last version was 3.0 for amiga 600 (M680000)

but few have rip that kickstart and give it out.

if u do not have a old softkick disk 3.0 lying around for

Amiga 500/600 and transfer it to pc.

Has anyone being able to play Cinemaware games at normal speeds?

For Example, It Came From the Desert during the intro, the video scrolls way too fast so that the narrator is not done telling the story and the game is already asking for the second disk...King of Chicago, the car goes so fast , it is impossible to hit the building with the bomb pretty much. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] StalkS:
No joy with a Galaxy S running stock Froyo :( Black screen. I really want to play Alien Breed and It Came from the Desert as well! I've been waiting for over a year for my Pandora to be built so I can play these games on a portable. If I can get this to work i ask them to refund my £300+

Cheers

StalkS
[G1 Apps and Games] shaolin95:
It is all in the Rom you use mate. I have to try several ones to get one that works and I am using a leaked Froyo and pretty much every game runs.
[G1 Apps and Games] bam82:
I've not been able to get any games working so far.

Cannon Fodder loads to the start screen then tells me to press return to continue, I enabled the keyboard and pressed return but nothing happened!

SWOS and SWOS 97 just gives me a black screen and no numbers on the progress icons. (This is really the only game I want to play!)

Lemmings the same.

Super frog I get black screen with 42 - 44 on the red progress icon and no further.

I have tried a few different kickstart roms and messed with the setting but with the same results.

Is there anything i am doing wrong or is it just the games or ks roms I am using?

I am on an HTC Desire running Froyo, not rooted

[G1 Apps and Games] The Gingerbread Man:
Would you mind helping me to get this to work please? I purchased amiga forever sometime ago, iv gone into the files/roms and there was 3 there, copied and pasted them to sd card.

The roms are;

Amiga-os-130.rom

Amiga-os-310.rom

Amiga-os-310-a1200.rom

When i configure with any of these after choosing a game in the floppy disk 1 and the hit start amiga I get a black screen, nothing happens.

Can you help please?

Can you test a cooler game like It Came From the Desert...I want to see if the intro loses sync like it does for me where it goes just too fast.

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
Ill see if I have it in my collection.
[G1 Apps and Games] cycloid:
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance it can support hard disk images and allow remapping of all keyboard keys (even if I have to edit a config file)

Why? for years I've dreamed of playing Bloodwych on my WinMo and pocketUAE would always crash with my "perfect" 4MB HD disk image with it installed on that worked fine on winUAE. Problem is that you need the function keys to start/load/save a game, and the movement keys are mapped to arrows/help/delete.

One day :)
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
@cycloid:

UAE4Droid hasn't been updated in a while so I'm not sure if those features will be coming soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] cycloid:
That's ok, i have dungeon master working :) my 1.3 rom didnt work but the 2.0 one did. Yay!

only issue i have now is that the touch screen mouse is offset, i have to press about 1 cm to the left of where I actually want the mouse pointer to go!

Edit: I think I know the mouse issue, The amiga and the emulator both have their own coords tracking the mouse position. When you touch the screen the emulator records the new position then sends a delta into the amiga, but the amiga limits the distance the mouse can move in one jump, so it gets out of sync. If you can keep them close together (painfully moving it only a few pixels at a time) the two seperate coordinate systems stay in sync

Did that make any sense?
[G1 Apps and Games] Blue-Code:

Anyone got this working on a Nexus S? All I get is a black screen with the frame rate updating at around 50. The floppy loading indicator does not update at all and stays at zero. I have to select "Cyclone M68k emulation" to even get that far. I've also tried ROM's from 1.0 to 3.1 with no luck and tried running fresh from boot. My C64 emulator works great - just need this to work now :( Any ideas?
[G1 Apps and Games] tonyyeb:
Looks like a lot of emulators need an update for gingerbread. Snesoid just got one and now works under gingerbread.
[G1 Apps and Games] runholen:
This is in fact the emulators biggest problem to this date. I guess a lot of you people get some games to work, but a lot of other games simply don't work, even though they seem to start all right. This is because the emulator for these games just hang, when on a 1-disk-drive system, it would instead ask for a disk-swap. It just hangs for a lot of good games, regardless of if the correct disk is inserted into any drive or not.

What's interesting, is that the symbian port of uae has the same buggy behaviour. But at least the symbian version had a workaround, where you in the options could set the number of disk-drives to 1, and then the games worked (although you had to swap a lot during play). Fixing this bug, or at least providing the 1-drive workaround would fix a whole lot of games, and I hope it will be addressed in the next version.
[G1 Apps and Games] cesar67:
Update for Gingerbread ?
[G1 Apps and Games] vico2004:

[G1 Apps and Games] jdb78:
Thank's for that! (: I recognized that the kickstart ROM's from the Cloanto Amiga Forever Disc do not work. They are encrypted, maybe that's why. Selfripped files do work. I can't believe my HTC Dream is able to handle this! Awesome :)
