UAE4ARM
What it is
UAE4ARM is an Android port of an Amiga emulator for running software designed for Amiga computers. It supports AGA, OCS, and ECS models, and accepts disk image formats including ADF, ADZ, HDF, ISO, CUE, and RP9. Kickstart is not included. Audio support includes WinUAE’s paravirtual AHI driver, which enables Amiga software to use 16-bit sound through AHI. Graphics options include RTG modes sized to the device screen and a setting to preserve the 4:3 ratio. Input choices include touch, on-screen controls, a Bluetooth mouse, or joystick and cursor-key D-pad modes. File dialogs can browse internal storage, SD cards, and readable USB volumes, including removable media connected through an OTG adapter. Users can choose a save-state folder, where save-state files are kept alongside preview images. The project is GPL-2.0 licensed, free of charge, and comes without warranty. Release notes identify version 1.0.5.5 as the latest and say it adds 16-bit AHI sound support. They also state that 32-bit Android devices are supported with JIT disabled; enabling JIT can freeze the emulator when returning to the emulation screen.
