What it is
SF2000-UAE is free GPL-2.0 software that emulates an Amiga 500 with an OCS chipset and 68000 CPU on Data Frog SF2000 and GB300 handhelds running multicore firmware. Based on uae4all-psp, it uses ADF disk images and is distributed through GitHub Releases with separate handheld builds. Installation requires placing the emulator core, a Kickstart ROM, and ADF game files in specified SD-card folders; Kickstart is not included. The README recommends Kickstart 1.3, and release notes state that versions 1.3 and 2.0 work while 3.0 does not. AGA games cannot run because the emulator targets OCS. Controls map the D-pad to joystick directions, A and B to fire, L and R to disk changes, SELECT to the virtual keyboard, and START to the menu. Holding L and R for three seconds enables mouse mode. Save states are available, though interlace-mode saves cannot be loaded. Display controls provide vertical correction from -20 to +20 pixels and stretch from 0 to 40 pixels.

Plans and prices
Strong points and limits
Strong points
- Free GPL-2.0 software
- Separate SF2000 and GB300 builds
- Supports ADF disk images
- Provides save and load states
- Includes joystick and mouse control modes
Limits
- Kickstart ROM is not included
- Kickstart 3.0 is unsupported
- AGA games will not work
- Interlace-mode saves cannot be loaded
Who it suits
It is for owners of Data Frog SF2000 or GB300 handhelds using multicore firmware who want Amiga 500 OCS emulation. Users must provide compatible Kickstart and ADF files.
Verdict
SF2000-UAE offers a focused Amiga 500 OCS emulator for two specified handhelds. Compatibility depends on supplying supported Kickstart versions and ADF files, with AGA software outside its scope.
