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.

+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.
-This is a port of the uae4all (based on UAE 0.8.22) Amiga 500 emulator to 3DS.
+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.
-The current version is early alpha stage, might still contain bugs, does not yet utilize the 3DS bottom screen and a lot of things are still to do. However, many games are already playable which is really cool and a lot of fun! The emulator runs pretty well on both O3DS and N3DS, however turning on L2 cache and 804MHz in Rosalina menu on N3DS makes it even more enjoyable.
+This is a port of the [http://chui.dcemu.co.uk/uae4all.html UAE4ALL] Amiga 500 emulator to 3DS, based on UAE v0.8.22.
