Thread: UAE4Droid - Amiga Emulator for Android based mobiles!
Harrison 09:32 24th June 2010
UAE4Droid is a recently ported version of UAE4All to Android.

Current release is v0.98.1 - 6/6/2010.

Download from here.

This means finally you will be able to play your favourite Amiga games on your mobile!

This was originally ported in a single day by someone called shagrath. Original announcement can be found here. Originally it was stated he was not going to be supporting it, so future development looked slim, but due to the response and interest the activity in the linked announcement thread is showing fast development and bug fixes, with quite a few versions released since the beginning of the year.

It supports sound and touch screen controls too.

Does anyone have an Android mobile to test this out on?

Some videos showing this working:

Spaceballs (a classic demo, showing this emulator does work!)



Project X (forward video to about 2:10 to see game play)



Turrican (very blurry video)



Android is looking like quite an impressive mobile OS. Lots of emulators are appearing, and all seem to be working quite well. C64, Spectrum, Amiga... tempting to get one!

There wouldn't happen to be an Amiga emulator for the Iphone / Ipad would there? (I don't have the IPAD, but it would be sweet to be able to run Amiga apps on my iphone.. ) And maybe someday when the prices drop to about $50 I will buy an IPAD as well...

Emulation is a problem on the iPhone because of the strict restrictions Apple place on the development of any software for their mobile platform.


There is a C64 emulator, and I think it is still available, and I'm sure I remember the same team behind that one have already created an Amiga emulator for the iPhone. However, I think there could be some issues with an Amiga emulator due to the requirement for it to be provided in the Apple App store, which would be a problem for kickstart distribution.

Lots of rumours around though, so one could still appear.

Remember however that Amiga games could be a bit restricted by a touch screen only device. Especially action games designed for joysticks. But that effects all emulators on any touch screen device.

Hello there!

Does anyone of you have the apk for this emulator?
My Android Device(Archos 5 IT - Android 1.6) does not have access to the android market and because of this i cannot download the emulator :/

It would be really nice when someone can give me a link to the apk, or upoad it somewhere.

I hope this request is not illegal or something seeing this software is free i don`t think this is a bad request.

I am not sure, but I remember something like UAEDroid not liking 256 K roms, and you need a 512 K one (simply the 1.3 ROM joined with itself)

Hi everyone,

i am using UAE4Droid v0.99 on a Xperia Play (kickstart ROM 1.3)

i am having problems loading some (actually a lot of) Amiga demos, after selecting the ADF file and resetting it just shows me the empty workbench screen. The ADF doesnt load at all.. does anyone else has this problem as well? Demos with trackloaders do seem to work, but any discimage without a trackloader won't start.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Hello, wellkome to the forum!!

I have a Galaxy Ace with Android 2.1 with UAE4DROID 0.99.
The Rom i found to be more stable is 2.04. I am able to run a lot of games and demos.
almost all demos work fine, at least they start, some of them are a bit slow but they run.
State of the art as example starts very nice, then after 30 seconds it goes a bit slow for 10 seconds then resumes at normal speed.
Last tiem i tried i was not able to run kick 1.3, dont know why....
give it a try to 2.04.
