What it is
UAE4ALL2 HD Vita is a free, open-source PlayStation Vita build of an Amiga emulator based on UAE4ALL2. It emulates OCS, ECS and AGA chipsets with 68000 and 68020 CPU modes, covering Amiga models from A1000 through A4000, CD32 and CDTV. Supported media include ADF, ADZ, DMS, IPF, ZIP, LHA, LZH and HDF files, plus CD32 CHD, ISO, BIN, CUE and M3U images. WHDLoad can extract archives, configure an A1200 profile and launch games. An HDF Manager creates FFS images from 50 MB to 8192 MB, with four slots; a single Amiga partition remains limited to 4 GB. The app offers save states, a game library with up to eight roots, shaders, aspect scaling, touch and analog mouse controls, a virtual keyboard and autofire. FTP exposes Vita partitions on port 1337 and is unencrypted. Users must supply legally obtained Kickstart ROMs and disk images. UAEGFX/Picasso96 is not enabled.
