Oh my god this could be awesome!!

Unfortunatly (or rather fortunately for me!!) my girlfriend bought me a Ps-Vita for my birthday so I think she'll be pretty annoyed if I'm playing Amiga games while she is round on Sunday... Hope to try it out on Monday night though - fancy a go FOL??

lol, my wife said she would buy me one, but I said no, doubt I would use it much, .
I would rather a computer upgrade, been 5 years since I updated my PC.

There is already a hack in process to run PSP home brew... I'm hoping at accelerated speed!!
On this basis, I think you would use it!!

From what I understand for reverse compatability, they emulate the old PSP, so there is no speed over older psp's when running hb. Well thats what I have read / following.

Stop it Horace, I really want to upgrade (so many new cool toys have been released).
Maybe I could ask her to buy both, .

@FrodeSolheim;
Any chance of you porting it to PSVita, .
Wonder if there is a toolchain, but saying that, if its emulating PSP, then we sould'nt need to worry.
Old stuff should work.

Whilst, yes,you would assume it runs at normal cpu speed, its quite feasible it could  be hacked to allow faster clock speeds....

It does open the door for a full speed emu though, using the cyclone ARM 68k core.
Last post as we dragging this off topic.

Sorry, I have no interest in developing for PSVita (haven't got one, and don't plan to acquire one either).

Have anyone tested FS-UAE net play btw?

Sorry fs - no chance to test till monday at least (all my posts are on mobile devices!!)

[Hungry Horace]

confirmed - have just played against FS on a bit of IK+ and this kicks hell out of kaillera

Nice, I feel a lotus whipping for Horace, .

FYI, i will be working on some kind of Fs-UAE online pack soon.   I just have to clear a few 'real world' things first.

It will allow a 'drop in' of the latest fs-uae, WHDload install updates etc, and a few cheeky tweeks to ease the online-process from the Amiga side of things. I will try to make it work without problems on both Mac and Windows, although I am unlikely to test the latter.

It's a shame you cant mount a ZIP file as a 'fake' HDF. It would make management of updates etc so much easier for me!

I would feel 'safer' using a self-enclosed HDF/ZIP file for the packs, following something i read that FS wrote, although we had a great game of IK+ without desync using HD files.

Actually, you probably can in the next beta; I coded in support for mounting zip-files (like folders) based on code for this from WinUAE.

It did not work properly when zipping down the system partition (haven't debugged a lot), but worked well when zipping down a game partition and running the game from this with WHDload...

Really happy with the progress, not tried it yet though. Will have to convince Horace, FOL or my brother to 'test' it with me.

Thanks FS!

oh really?! I didnt even know WinUAE had this!! 

That has thrown the door wide-open for me to start creating Online game-packs again. I will just need to make a few more tweeks to my Game-Boot program.

FS - you remember the problem i had running the server program, due to having the 'wrong' python etc? Is there any chance that will be changed? Will it be made easier? Will re-connects be possible on the same server?

I would love to have some servers hosted by Ultimate Amiga permanently! (if FOL will allow it)
