MyUAE, the emulator of Amiga for PalmOS
The amount of existing emulators for PalmOS is certainly impressive. Or we have seen as thanks to these programs is possible to play in our Palm games of videoconsolas of Nintendo and Sega, or to use the PDA like a scientific calculator HP of high range. But more historically famous platforms exist emulators of many, as we already saw in this extensive list of emulators for PalmOS. And one of these platforms is Amiga.
Amiga 500, the sold team more of the Amiga family
Amiga is a family of personal computers developed by Amiga Corporation. The development of the Amiga began in 1982, and Commodore International introduced the machine in the market in 1985, after buying Amiga Corporation. Peculiarly, the developers chose the name “Amiga” by the Spanish word indeed (feminine companion).
The name in code than would be first Amiga 1000 was “Lorraine”, with a microprocessor 7,14 Motorola MC68000 to MHz, 768Kb of ram memory (expandable to a maximum of 8 Mb) and 256Kb ROM. The machine equipped chipset own with capacities video and outposts audio, and an operating system conmultitarea pre-emptiva (well-known at the moment like AmigaOS).
Although the motorola processor is of 32 bits, the first models of Amiga used an external bus of data of 16 bits, reason why a machine of 16 bits like Atari ST. was considered later Models of Amiga, based on more modern processors 68k, or even PowerPC, yes that was of 32 bits.
Amiga ahead supposed a great jump from the computers of 8 bits, for example Commodore 64, and quickly it was made popular, mainly in Europe. It was prominently used in tasks related to video and vision of control of businesses, being one more a cheaper alternative to the PC and Macintosh of the time.
When Commodore broke in 1994, there was still very active an Amiga community, that continued supporting the platform much after salesmen left the main it. The magazine of more popular Amiga, Amiga Format, continued publishing editions until 2000, 6 years after the disappearance of Commodore. The interest in the platform is still sufficient to maintain a column specialized weekly in the English magazine Micro Mart.
At the moment sufficient demand in hardware of Amiga expansion exists like so that some manufacturing pequeñaos exist in active-duty. After the desparición of Commodore, manifolds companies have continued selling new Amiga models. At the moment, Eyetech sells Amiga hardware under the AmigaOne mark.
The success of the Amiga was so, that personages as Andy Warhol or Steven used them to Spielberg for their creations. Series like Babylon 5, SeaQuest DSV or Max Headroom had their special effects thanks to Amiga equipment.
Many sites of Internet exist dedicated to the Amiga, since still there are many users of these equipment that waits for the probable launching of AmigaOS 4,0 and new Amiga equipment. For example we can emphasize Amiga.org, AmigaWorld and the Spanish Amiga Zone, where besides other contents, all the Spanish games for Amiga can be unloaded.
Writing-desk of AmigaOS, really advanced opportunely
As much the enamored ones with this platform, like those who never have proven one and want to investigate it, can replace the lack of one of these machines using the emulators WinUAE or WinFellow. But what today it interests to us it is that an excellent emulator for PalmOS de Amiga, the MyUAE exists, of the creators of the versions of Quake, Doom and Duke Nukem 3D for PalmOS.
Simulator of a F29 running in MyUAE, a Palm
MyUAE admits support for keyboard, virtual mouse and joystick, it allows to record and to recover, and it has sound (although this it is an aspect that is improving). 5.x needs PalmOS (processor ARM) and much dynamic memory (UDMH). One has tried on successfully in Tungsten T3, Zodiac 1 and Zodiac 2.
We can see the AmigaOS working in a Palm in these videos that a user has recorded and raised YouTube:
In this other video it even teaches how haconfigurado to the UDMH and the MyUAE to us so that everything works perfectly. Also we can see the virtual keyboard, that he is exact to the one of an Amiga:
Certainly a profit is everything to make work the software written for the Amiga in a PC, reason why to make it work in a Palm is something really incredible. You do not lose this opportunity to prove it.

Once again, we did not stop being surprised yet what a Palm can give us… It remembers me to the time of the ZX Spectrum, when years after it was stopped doing, were continued making things that nor the manufacturers had thought… Whatever will lack so that somebody makes an emulator of Palm for Palm? … they do not ***reflx mng… something as well as the Virtual PC of Microsoft or the VMWARE… is only one question of being able to do it more of so that it can serve.
Then it finishes revivir PALMDOSBOX you watch in wl blog of metaview http://www.metaviewsoft.de
In addition it has for C64, spectrun, amstrad….
Hello, how is everything? Exelente uq can do one palm! This emulator is compatible with one tx? Thank you very much.
Hello:
We are a group of Majorca (the Balearic Islands Spain) who we artisan made hardware for the users of Commodore Amiga, which they need new and exclusive hardware.
You can visit us in our Web:

Then that, would be a pleasure to be in contact with the enemy to comment any question on the legendary Friendly.
Greetings,
Juan J. Coast
That such Marks (because I can be on familiar terms to you, are not thus), I am leido in some place that you have raised the software of installation of a Tungsten, would like to know if accidentally you would have the one of Tungsten T3 for Mac because unfortunately the CD has spoiled and is that as finishes fixing my computer to me, because software perdío, I have been that way the one of Windows, but the one that is urgent to me is the one of Mac, because he is the one that in fact use.
Completely it would be been thankful you if you could make to me arrive it.

That so, by chance I found this page, clear that I was interested in the subject when I bought a Palm Tungsten and, so of beginning Many Congratulations. I have been reading the lazy commentaries and me I have been very useful to equip my palm, now only needs to add games and I have not been able, I followed the advice of palmdosbox and desgargué but in the synchronization marks the following message to me of error: Error of HotSync: An application has cancelled the synchronization or has failed when responding to a notification of HotSync. Asegúrese of which it is not publishing the data at the moment by means of an application like Palm OS Desktop or the Tool of installation. (8009). a greeting to which they have contributed with your page and for you Marks a congratulation.
