Ask and ye shall receive. That’s pretty much how I feel right about now and that’s why I always say you should leave feature suggestions if you want something. Developer rsn8887 has just updated his UAE4All Mod to version 1.24 and added the one thing that was stopping me from enjoying a game on this, a virtual keyboard.

You can see the keyboard in the screenshot below. It is very small so it doesn’t get in the way of the game and has a zoom feature on whichever key you are at. This latest update also fixes the labels in custom controls to reflect the PS Vita controller instead of the Pandora’s.

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.
