What is UAE? Let alone Pocket UAE?
UAE stands for "Ultimate Amiga Emulator" and is simply an emulator that "emulates" the Amiga computer that was popular from 1986 to 1995 or so abouts. This computer had three custom chips that were able to communicate with one another and actually perform parallel-processing. The operating system of this computer was a pre-emptive multi-tasking OS that was way ahead of its time. What could be accomplished with a simple 7.14MHz Amiga 500 could run circles around anything taking place on the PC's at that time. The Amiga became known as the video graphics computer while PC was for the business world and Macintosh was for printing. Pocket UAE is simply the emulator ported to the Pocket PC's of today. This emulator takes advantage of the tap screen capabilities of these devices and does nearly 100% emulation of the Amiga computers.
What is Pocket UAE Launcher?
Good question. While the emulator is good and all, it comes with a semi-technical method of configuring which floppies are inserted, which processor to emulate, the graphics chipset that should be emulated from the array of Amiga computers available, hard-drive settings, on and on and on. So, though these items are in development by "Cerial23" and "Poopi" who are working together on the project, I thought I'd try my hand at programming the Pocket PC. What you have now is my first programming project for the PPC. And though it may not have every feature that people would want, it's got a lot.

These apps are freeware but I've started a seperate thread since they may require some support. I'll try to help with issues people have configuring and setting up. As well as posting the relevant core files needed to get that old Amiga running in your pocket!
