Is There an AMIGA Emulator Available On Sony Ericsson Phones K700/750i Or Even C64 Emulation

BippyM · 29 July 2005, 01:56

I very, very, very much doubt it!

Phones are only just powerful enough to do games that are programmed for them never mind run a complex emulator!

Even if the phones were powerful you wouldn't want to emulate a computer on them.

There are some C64 emulators for Symbian phones (not the K750i). I remember using one on my 9210.... was pretty ok.

The best handheld Amiga you going to get is with the PSP, The emu is only in its early stages but still plays very fast.

kriz · 29 July 2005, 15:45

I think a pocket pc can also emulate the amiga (and c64)...

Phones will be fast enough sooner or later..

I agree with this, and when it is possible it'll be fab

Bought myself a nice Nokia 6210 Navigator running Symbian OS 9.3 S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2

Would love to see it running UAE and few of my favourite demos & games...

2,4" screen with 320x240 resolution to keep boredom away...

oh well, atleast ScummVM has been ported to it..

My HTC Diamond runs PocketUAE quite nicely! Its a pity that its not being developed further though

Hi Stainy and all!

I have the chance to have a Raspberry PI (model B) and got in no time UAE4All to work to play Rick Dangerous: it is very cool and I would definitely recommend it!

fatboy · 21 November 2012, 11:21

I'd like one of these but they are way too expensive!!!

Why don't they just licence the product to a Chinese company, who could knock 'em out for £150 retail.....I just don't get it

I'm looking at a [ Show youtube player ] , as a good alternative?....just look at the price and spec compared
to the Pandora....or am I missing the point?

JXD devices had only few firmware updates - last one removed all emulators from JXD V3. How anyone can trust them now. And what can you do when you brick your chinese console - there is no support.

Amiga1992 · 21 November 2012, 12:01

I really wish too the Caanoo got the attention it deserves, but yeah, GPH fucked up, and now I am stuck with a really nice console full of potential but with no devs interested in it.

If at least it had a decent C64 emulator I would bitch less. UAE4ALL runs really fast on it, it's a beauty.

After a 5 second Google search, help is here .....if needed?

As for emulators, it's Android, so plenty out there.

Nothing is perfect, I just wish other cost options where available for the Pandora, to make it more accessible to the average user.

I'd buy one at £150.00 but not £535.65 (current sterling price for 1 Ghz Pandora)

The simple question is, can someone produce the Pandora at a consumer friendly price point?....I'm sure sales would be much improved.

Look at Raspberry PI..... licensed and selling like hot cakes.
From Techcrunch.com

' TC: What are your total sales of the Raspberry Pi to date?

Eben: Currently we've shipped about 400,000 – that’s since March, we expect to pass the half million point in the next month or so; we expect to have sold about a million — looking at the projections – about 12 months in so in our first year we will have sold about a million'

OK this is £30 bare bones device, but the business model clearly works for them....much the same as ARM holdings....who don't make a single chip yet Billions are in everyday devices!!!!

I'm sure the Pandora developers are fiercely protective of their 'baby', but surely they would want everyone to join their club?

Sell me a 'Consumer Freindly' priced Pandora, and I'm in

Dude, for 535 pounds, you buy one helluva portable computer. The price tag is RIDICULOUS.

Exactly!!!

I have the Pandora 800mhz version I paid the origonal pre-order price for it and hadto wait years for it to turn up.
Was it worth it?
for me yes as Ive got emulation on the go, work in games dev, and nolonger have to cart an old laptop around.
Ipad and Pandora and Im good to go.
Besides my older model overclocks to 900mhz easy so is £500+ worth it for an extra 100mhz - no not really.

Mr B · 21 November 2012, 13:56

Of course it is. They are milking it for all it's worth. More & faster memory, faster CPU, and GPU. Trying to get every last penny out of a huge investment before the market is outright dead. It simply took to long to get the panda in the hands of it's users so the hardware they used is grandfather, and cant be obtained anymore. selling a updated version at the same price would piss all the old buyers of, so it's just as well they have a investment they need to make up for. I'm guessing there is a price drop when sales no longer surpass manufacturing capacities.
