Uae3DS

Template:Infobox-3DS-Homebrews

This is a port of the uae4all (based on UAE 0.8.22) Amiga 500 emulator to 3DS.

Many Amiga games are well playable - a compatibility list (incomplete) can be found using the link above. The emulator runs pretty well on both O3DS and N3DS, however the extra speed on N3DS makes it even more enjoyable.

Installation:

• Create directory /3ds/uae3DS on your 3DS SD-card
• copy the kickstart ROM (version 1.3 is confirmed as working) file into this directory with file name kick.rom. The kickstart ROM is copyrighted material so don't ask me where to get it from.

You might get lucky by asking big G for "uae kickstart rom" ...

• copy the 3dsx-file into the same directory
• Copy any Amiga disk images that you might have (.adf, .adz) to a directory of your choice on your SD card
• run uae3DS from homebrew launcher

If anybody wants to help with these ToDos, you are welcome to help me with a pull request on github :D.
