At a playable speed with sound, no way, never, forget it. At a choppy and unuseable speed with no sound yes it is possible but doubtful anyone would bother making one.

I was going to port UAE but thought I'd do a quick test.. so I ran PocketUAE on a recent fast device.. Dell Axim Ax50v. PocketUAE was slow to the point of being unusable, and thats a 600+MHz machine. Clocking down to 200MHz and it was more brutal of course. Replacing the CPU with an ASM one woudl help a little but not a lot. So it is conceivable it'd be okay if someone invested an *enormous* amoutj of time into rewriting half the emu in ASM. No one is going to do that.
So Amiga emu is dead idea for gp32.

Yeah, the Amiga is closer to a Macintosh than a C64. 
(Though, I feel like I missed out a lot since I didn't grow up with an Amiga. I had a c128 instead. )
The games themseves, however, can be ported/remade.

Skeezix/Jeff, if the Dreamcast can manage an amiga port (UAE4ALL) then surely in the hands of a good coder the GP32 could get near the Dreamcast port too ?

How well does that perform? Thje DC, if memory serves, is about 200MHz or thereabouts.. not crazy powerful, but relatively powerful. If that performs well, then who knows, perhaps its possible. But you'll note my phrase.. if someoen invests work, but I doubt anyone is that interested in commiting the needed amount of work I'll have to look at UAE4ALL and see how it performs.
Heres to hoping

Sounds like people say UAE4ALL is very slow :/

Well, it depends on the games you play, but most stuff runs fine.
I don't play OpenSNES9x, because I don't like playing without sound and with sound it's still a bit slow.
But I had some fun playing UAE4ALL, so it can't be too slow

What kind of things do you like to do on the Amiga?
Probably programs and games and stuff, so what are your favorites?
No really, I have no idea what the popular games are. (except maybe oxyd.)

A new version of WinFellow has just been released. Anyways the good news is they started converting the fellow source to C from Assembly, about 45% at the moment (Still missing the 68k core) So this should make it more portable and we might start seeing ports of this on lower spec machines.

*sigh* I can dream can't I? :rolleyes:

*puts fingers in ears*
"la lal lalal la lal la" i can do that all day if need be

A lot of the stuff runs at about 80-90%, but then it's had a lot of DC special customisations made. Might even be using the second processor as well (Arm chip if I remember correctly).

Stop dreamin'
How about donating for an emu that is POSSIBLE at a playable speed like a new PC-Engine or SNES emu or something. Or donate for something out now and is good like DrMD.

What do you want?
If people didn't have dreams, we'd still be living in caves. B)

Sadly it seems like its not possible at this moment in time (When one day a faster GP32 is released then i'm sure it could happen) , I used to be an Amiga owner back in the day
Its a shame its not emulated but i'm happy as hell with the Atari ST emulator available. The games on that are very good and obviously most of them were on the Amiga as well, the versions arent too different.
