PS3 version of E-UAE Amiga Emulator

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I know a lot of people have been waiting for an Amiga emulator and it's good to see that even at this stage it provides excellent emulation. And thanks to Ole we now have a good working conversion of E-UAE V0.8.25 for the PS3 console!

You'll need to edit the CFG file and also provide a kickstart rom image and some adf disk files before you will be able to play your Amiga games on the PS3 console!

Here is some more in-depth details taken from the readme file:

E-UAE 0.8.25 for PS3 - release 3
- compiled by using psl1ght sdk
- The full uae documentation is stored in the 'docs' subdirectory, here
you are reading the ps3 port info.

Features:
- 68000, 68010, 68020 processor cores
- OCS, ECS and AGA chipset
- amiga hi-res (720x576) graphics resolution in 32bit depth
- joystick1, joystick2 (2nd joypad required) and mouse emulation
- simple options dialog (supports switching of the disk files and more)
- sound in 48000 kHz
- keyboard emulation
- support for loading zip and dms floppy images
- reads either /dev_usb000/uae/uae.cfg or /dev_hdd0/game/EUAE00825/USRDIR/UAE.CFG
configuration during startup!

Requires:
- ps3 ready to boot homebrew programs
- uae.cfg either in /dev_usb000/uae/ or /dev_hdd0/game/EUAE00825/USRDIR/ directory
(sample UAE.CFG included)
- kickstart rom - see docs/readme

Controls:
- press R2 to activate virtual keyboard (vkb), release R2 to hide it.
If vkb is shown press left/right digital pad to select the current
key. Press the 'up' digital pad button to actually simualte key press
of the current key. L1, L2, R1 ann CIRCLE buttons are user defined keys.
If vkb is shown press L1 to define L1 button, press L2 to define L2 button
and press R1 to define R1 button.
- joypad 1 (emulates joystick 1 and mouse 1)
- joypad 2 (emulates joystick 2) - if you want to enable 2-joystick mode, plug-in
the second joy pad, restart uae and switch the port mode to "joy-1 & joy-2" in the
options dialog.
- left analog pad emulates the mouse movement. You can speed-up the mouse movement
in the options dialog.
- CROSS - joystick button 1
- SQUARE - mouse button 1
- TRIANGLE - mouse button 2
- press Start to enter application menu, here you can load ADF files.
- press CIRCLE to exit the application menu

Additional info:
- The program reads uae.cfg during startup. In this configuration file
you should specify all required parameters (memory size, kick rom, initial
floppy disk files, cpu core, chipset etc.).
- Files (kickrom, adf files) are accesible from either usb disk or internal disk.

Credits and thanks:
- UAE team and porters.
- RCDRUMMOND for E-UAE
- psl1ght sdk team
- PS3 homebrew scene

Release log:
r3 - options dialog has more space for filenames
r2 - added support for uae.cfg stored on hdd
r1 - initial release

I hope the version of UAE for ps3 (see member news submissions) is refined and some preset cfg's are used, I remember the dreamcast UAE having an immense compatibility without having to constantly tweak the configuration. I'll have to dig up my kick roms and adf's, I haven't played "it came from the desert" in years.

OMG... ICFD!

I loved that game. And Frontier: Elite 2, The Settlers, Syndicate, Chaos Engine, Cannon Fodder 1+2... the list goes on and on!

I'm currently holding out high hopes for that emulator as well. Got a load of ADF discs and some kickstart ROM's sitting here on my PC.

doesnt say whether it can load .ADF files
it only states .zip and .dms files

if it doesnt load adf i hope someone can add it in

If you have a look at config file that is were everything needs to be set and the sample cfg file has .adf extension on floppies.

Gonna have a go at this later
