SF2000-UAE
What it is
SF2000-UAE is a free Amiga 500 OCS emulator for Data Frog SF2000 and GB300 handhelds using multicore firmware. Based on uae4all-psp, it emulates an OCS chipset with a 68000 CPU and uses ADF disk images. Installation places the emulator core, a Kickstart ROM, and ADF game files in specified SD-card folders. Kickstart is not included; the README recommends 1.3, and release notes state that 1.3 and 2.0 work while 3.0 does not. AGA games cannot run because the emulator targets OCS. Controls map the D-pad to joystick directions, A and B to fire, L and R to disk changes, SELECT to the virtual keyboard, and START to the menu. Holding L and R for three seconds enables mouse mode. Save and load states are available, except interlace-mode saves cannot be loaded. GitHub Releases provides separate SF2000 and GB300 builds. The project is GPL-2.0 software and costs nothing.
For and against
For
- Emulates Amiga 500 OCS hardware
- Supports SF2000 and GB300 builds
- Provides save and load states
- Includes a virtual keyboard control
- Mouse mode uses handheld buttons
Against
- Kickstart ROM is not included
- AGA games will not work
- Kickstart 3.0 is unsupported
- Interlace-mode saves cannot be loaded
The verdict
SF2000-UAE supplies a focused Amiga 500 emulator for two specified handhelds. Compatibility depends on OCS software, supported Kickstart versions, and separately supplied ROM and game files.
Who it suits
It is intended for Data Frog SF2000 or GB300 owners running multicore firmware. Users need their own compatible Kickstart ROM and ADF files.
