SF2000-UAE
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.
