MyUAE, Amiga emulator for Palm
The amount of existing emulators for Palm is certainly impressive. We have already seen through these programs may play in our Palm games Sega and Nintendo game consoles, or use the PDA as a scientific calculator HP high-end. But there are many more platforms emulators historically famous, as we saw in this extensive list of emulators for Palm. And one of these platforms is Amiga.
Amiga 500, the team sold more of the family Amiga
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 on the market in 1985 after buying Amiga Corporation. Curiously, the developers chose the name "Amiga" precisely because the Spanish word (female companion).
The code name in what would be the first Amiga 1000 was "Lorraine", a microprocessor with Motorola MC68000 at 7.14 MHz, 768Kb of RAM (expandable to a maximum of 8 MB) and 256Kb ROM. The machines chipset own capabilities with advanced audio and video, and an operating system pre-emptive conmultitarea (now known as AMIGA).
Although the processor motorola is 32 bits, the first Amiga models used a bus external 16-bit, so it was considered a 16-bit machine as the Atari ST. Models later Amiga, based on more modern processors 68k, or even PowerPC, they were 32 bits.
Amiga was a great leap forward from 8-bit computers, for example, the Commodore 64, and quickly became popular, mainly in Europe. It was used prominently in tasks related to video and vision control business, being a cheaper alternative to the PC and Macintosh at the time.
When Commodore went bankrupt in 1994, there were still a very active community Amiga, which continued to bear the platform long after that leave the main sellers. The Amiga's most popular magazine, Amiga Format, continued to publish editions until 2000, 6 years after the demise of Commodore. Interest in the platform is still good enough to hold a specialist weekly column in the British magazine Micro Mart.
Currently there is sufficient demand in hardware expansion Amiga as they exist for some SMALL manufacturers in business. After desparición Commodore, many companies have continued selling new models Amiga. Currently, Eyetech Amiga hardware sells under the brand AmigaOne.
The success of the Amiga was such that characters like Andy Warhol or Steven Spielberg used them for their creations. Series like Babylon 5, SeaQuest DSV or Max Headroom had their special effects equipment thanks to Amiga.
There are many websites dedicated to the Amiga, because there are still many users of these teams that likely await the launch of new equipment and 4.0 AMIGA Amiga. For example we can highlight Amiga.org, AmigaWorld and Spanish Amiga Zone, where in addition to other content, you can download all games for Amiga Spaniards.
Desktop AMIGA, really ahead of his time
Both lovers of this platform, as those who have never tried one and want to investigate, they can compensate for the lack of one of these machines using the emulators WinUAE or WinFellow. But what interests us today is that there is an excellent emulator for Palm Amiga, MyUAE, creators of the versions of Quake, Doom and Duke Nukem 3D for Palm.
Simulator an F29 running on MyUAE, in a Palm
MyUAE admits support for keyboard, mouse and joystick virtual, can record and restore, and has sound (though this is an aspect that is being upgraded). Need Palmer 5.x (ARM processor) and a lot of dynamic memory (UDMH). It has been successfully tested on the Tungsten T3, Zodiac 1 and Zodiac 2.
We can see the AMIGA running on a Palm in these videos that a user has recorded and uploaded to YouTube:
In another video that teaches us how even haconfigurado the UDMH and MyUAE for everything to work perfectly. We can also see the virtual keyboard, which is just like an Amiga:
It is certainly quite an achievement to run software written for the Amiga on a PC, so make it work on a Palm is something really incredible. Do not lose this chance to prove it.

Once again, we not surprised with everything a Palm can give us… It reminds me of the time of the ZX Spectrum, where years after it ceases to be done, is still doing things that neither manufacturers had thought… The missing to have someone make an emulator for Palm Palm? not laugh…… something like Microsoft Virtual PC or VMware… is only a matter of being able to do more to serve.
Well just look at reviving PALMDOSBOX wl blog MetaView http://www.metaviewsoft.de
There is also for C64, spectrun, amstrad….
Hola, que tal? Great UQ what can make a palm !!!!!!!!!! This emulator is compatible with a tx? Thank you very much.
Hello:
We are a group of Mallorca (Spain baleares) crafting hardware for the Commodore Amiga users, requiring new hardware and exclusive.

Well, that would be a pleasure to be in contact to discuss any issue on the legendary Friends.
Greetings,
John J. Coast
Such Marcos (because you can tut, it does not?), I read somewhere that you uploaded software installation of a Tungsten, I wonder if you would have the chance of the Tungsten T3 for Mac because unfortunately has been damaged the CD and it turns out that just as I fix my computer because the software is lost, I found around the windows, but I urge the Mac, because that is actually used.
We would be grateful if you could completely let me go.

That may, by chance I found this page, of course I was interested in the topic when I bought a Palm Tungsten E, so start Many Congratulations. I've been reading the comments left and I have been very useful to equip my palm, now I just need to add games and I could not, I followed the advice of the palmdosbox and Unloading but in the synchronization mark me the following error message: HotSync Error: An application has been cancelled synchronization or failed to respond to a notification HotSync. Make sure you are not currently editing data through an application such as Palm OS or Desktop Tool installation. (8009). a greeting to all those who have contributed to your page for you and Marcos be congratulated.
