I thought the same but decieded on getting a net book. 10" screen so its very portable and of course...... runs WINUAE perfectly :-)

Windows on a netbook running WINUAE is the perfect portable platform

I'm pretty far back in the pre-order queue and so far I've not had the spare cash to upgrade to a "get it in 7 days" order

still... I think I'm gonna be over the moon with it when I finally get it!

A little disappointing: no AGA,no HD emulation,a little slow,etc.

s2325 · 18 June 2011, 09:38

Don't expect AGA emulation in these kind of machines. These emulators are most of them A500 emulators.

Well a CAANOO version has appeared, A500 only:

w00t!

That's scary... I downloaded and installed uae4all for the caanoo yesterday evening, from an obscure thread in a forum somewhere... Now there's a v2 already...

But it plays many OCS & ECS games nicely. I stop short at saying perfect, but it's pretty nice. Shame the development has stopped on it. THE most annoying this with the emulation scene on these handhelds. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon as they're released, soon moving to something else.
