You might remember that some time back, developer cpajuste released one his entries into the GekiHEN contest which just so happened to be a fully working Amiga emulator which I had talked about in one of my GekiHEN wishlist articles. However, after some time, no updates were being pushed so I feared the emulator would stay the way it was, with no further improvements. However this where developer rsn8887 comes in with his UAE4All Mod!

This mod builds on the original source by cpajuste and further improves and tweaks the experience of using UAE4All: new and improved control scheme, disabling useless menus, better mouse support and a crisper looking emulation are all in this need little package. Kudos to rsn8887 for such great work, but I’d appreciate it if he could mod a keyboard into the emulator  so I can finally play Portal!

What is UAE4All Mod?

UAE4All is a popular emulator of the Amiga 500/1200 computer that has been ported to many platforms from the PC to the Dreamcast and Pandora. It was ported for us PS Vita users by developer cpajuste of ScummVM Vita fame. The emulator is fully featured and runs fullspeed and is the better alternative to the old PSPUAE emulator that you could run on the Vita’s PSP emulator. This mod version has been developed by rsn8887 and is based on cpajuste‘s source and it improves the emulator greatly in all areas you could wish for.
