uae3DS is an emulator for the Amiga 500, which is a personal computer in the Amiga computer family marketed by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s.

Amiga 500, also know as A500, is the first low-end version of the Amiga home computer. It contains the same Motorola 68000 as the Amiga 1000, as well as the same graphics and sound coprocessors, but is in a smaller case similar to that of the Commodore 128. The Amiga 500 was sold in the same retail outlets as the Commodore 64, as opposed to the computer store-only Amiga 1000. It proved to be Commodore's best-selling model, particularly in Europe. It was followed by a revised version of the computer, the Amiga 500 Plus, and the 500 series was discontinued in 1992.

This is a port of the UAE4ALL Amiga 500 emulator to 3DS, based on UAE v0.8.22.

Installation

Note: You must include a KickStart BIOS image file and rename it as kick.rom (version 1.3 is confirmed to work).

Create directory /3ds/uae3DS/ on your 3DS SD card.

Copy kick.rom into this directory.

Copy the .3dsx file into the same directory. Alternatively you can install the .cia file with a title manager.

Copy any Amiga disk images that you might have (.adf, .adz) to a directory of your choice on your SD card.

Apart from this, a DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly in the CIA version.

Compatibility

Runs well on both O3DS and N3DS, however the extra speed on N3DS makes it even more enjoyable.
