GEKKO Amiga Emulator - Coming Next Week
GEKKO Amiga Emulator for Android will be arriving next week
Information & Download Link (When Available) https://www.gekkotech.net/component/...amiga-emulator   This is the developers second Emulator, first being GEKKO C64 https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hl=en_US&gl=US This might be a blessing in disguise for all Nvidiad Shield owners.. It's been far too long for a an amiga emulator to appear on Android, all the previous ones are way too old and out dated... |

I remember that my preferred Amiga emulator on Android was Omega 500. The haptic feedback and the control scheme for the joystick made it much better than the other emulators (except when it came to compatibility, as UAE4ARM had much higher compatibility but horrible UI). Too bad it was quickly abandoned
 I will give this a spin on my old Android phone when it comes out

Looks really promising, could be a great way to waste my bus journeys, especially if savefiles are WinUAE compatible. Playing joystick games using an on-screen stick would be a culture shock though, can see myself just using it for mouse type games.

Dislike the ads and buying options that are bundled in the emulator.
A business model like "c64.emu" would have my preference. |

Yeah especially the top two are kind of suspicious. You don't need a precise location to feed ads.

It should need access to your contacts and SMS and call history too.

Is this its own Amiga emulator implementation or derived of UAE?

Works great, the icons are so small I can't read them without a magnifier on my s20.
Is there an onscreen keyboard? |

Somehow I suspect that there isn’t much original code in there… also the permissions are a huge red flag. This is probably a quick port churned out to cash out on ads. |

Hi all, here I am... happy Christmas to all!!
I was waiting for account on Amiga board to be unlocked  For the permissions you asked and worry for, sorry, I use an Engine I coded in years, and sometimes I forget to remove permissions that are not needed, as for other apps, like Walkie Talkie and others that need other permissions. I'm working on the update, I just fixed the load crash timeout, working on the screen auto crop, that is a nightmare!!! I need suggestions and help, as Amiga emulation was very hard to code. I have a big experience on C64, and the emulator was very great, but Amiga made me crazy expecially on the resolutions!!I hope it will be the best Amiga emulator on Android.

Haven't tested your emulator (due to the required permissions, so let's see if this will change) but welcome to EAB @GEKKO.
Keep up your work
