This sounds great! As an ex-Amiga 1000 and 2500 owner, I've wanted a clean emulation setup for ages. As your project progresses, please send progress videos. ?

DUDE!? What the heck happened? I hope all is well with family, health, etc. I'm disappointed you won't be involved with final, perfect Amiga Hyperspin setup too. I'm sure it will happen eventually, although it will certainly take longer without your support. I hope it's not simply 'trolls' that pissed you off. It's really disheartening to see your unabashed, positive enthusiasm end like this. I'm sad right now. Edit: I see thatman84 mentioned stuff at home. Take care. Once sorted, come back. This system is 30yrs old, we can wait a little longer...

I'm REALLLY looking forward to it. My good, old Amiga 1000 was the greatest computer ever devised. I loved that thing. I still have it.

I think the lack of enthusiasm (it's not a lack of love) is due to sheer complexity of making games work with Amiga emulation. If someone manages a streamlined hyperspin setup that launches directly into games with the appropriate pre-settings, I think you'll see lots of us jump on it. I focused on CD32 initially with the idea I'd have an easier time accomplishing this. My frustration with Amiga is similar to my frustration with Hyperspin. Once setup, it's glorious but the environment and community forces everyone to reproduce the same steps over and over.

Everything ran about the same... 30-40fps. Emulation framerate is entirely bogged down by the CPU so increasing rendering resolution by 3x didn't hurt. However it did show a ghost/blur coordinate bug they'll want to fix, but it didn't hurt gameplay. NFL Blitz Football was playable but had a geometry bug causing corruption with player animations. God of War 2 Viewtiful Joe 2 ... I can't remember the others lol...

The open source community found code snippets they believe originated form other projects (ppsspp, play!, pcsx2 --likely!) but it's clear a LOT of extra work went into this app. The open source community will scream and flail until they open their source code though. DamonPS2 is already showing very good compatibility and runs the PS2 games I tested on Shield TV at 30-40fps. Based on their 'todo' notes in their store listing, they still have a number of worthwhile optimizations left to pursue.

In a perfect world, both will work someday (launch from WB or directly). For most retrogames, I want to check them out 'quickly' so I find the wheel interface and video previews satisfying. But I can definitely see how quality time with the workbench view would be fun too. I have lots of wheels waiting for improved emulation. Indeed a lot has improved the past year with Retroarch, 3DO, Jaguar... and have you played with DamonPS2? (it shows great promise).

Thanks for posting this. It cleared up a number of questions. I loved my Amiga sooooo much. This brings back a lot of memories.

This looks great. I'm jealous, my setup doesn't work very well yet. Do all of these launch and play properly?

Will do

I appreciate the effort of the Retrox developer. His goal of a simplified all-in-one is great, but it's soooo much work to get it right and keep up with changing emulators, OS's, etc. And that's assuming you are only focused on a single device like Shield. It's currently quite buggy. Arc Browser is a really nice, casual front-end. But I do love Hyperspin best.

Is there something fundamentally wrong or broken with libretro's puae core?

Hyperspin_Android-test.apk View File Before I post this to the Google Play store, I wanted to let you guys test it first. There are only 2 minor changes. 1. Properly sleeps in the background when an emulator is launched (this should help battery and potential lag) 2. Changed default path for retroarch.cfg to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.retroarch/files/retroarch.cfg (was previously /data/data/com.retroarch/retroarch.cfg). This should unify the config files (when retroarch launched standalone) and make it R/W. Pointing to /data/data was a hspin app bug. SORRY!
