What it is
UAE4ALL2 Mod is an Amiga emulator for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch, with support for Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 systems. It reads ADF, ADZ, HDF, and ZIP disk images, with ZIP available only for reading. The project says most Amiga games run at full speed with zero frameskip. Controls include six mappable sets, analog mouse control, and a virtual keyboard whose position and transparency can be adjusted. The emulator can mount up to four HDF files at once; maximum file sizes are below 2 GB on Vita and below 4 GB on Switch. Savestates support HDF, import and export, thumbnail previews, and an automatic slot. It also supports shaders, with automatic full 1080p in Switch docked mode. Multiplayer supports up to four paired controllers on Vita TV and up to eight on Switch. Users must provide Amiga Kickstart ROM files; the installation instructions specify kick13.rom and kick31.rom. Some games have known issues, including missing graphics in Banshee AGA and unsupported cycle-exact emulation needed for Nebulus 2. UAE4ALL2 Mod is free and GPL-2.0 licensed.
