I just stumbled across this Amiga emulator for S60 3rd & 5th Edition smartphones, I was just looking for some emulators for my new Sony Ericsson Satio phone.

http://my-symbian.com/s60v3/software/applications.php?fldAuto=674&faq=11

I managed to hack the firmware on the satio, so I could try a few emu's out.
Although the Amiga emulator's obviously been designed for S60 V3 devices (with a keypad) its possible to get it running on S60V5 devices, even with a touchscreen like my satio, I managed to get a few games running.

I hope the project is ported over, with more support for S60V5 phones with touchscreen support.

The satio has a decent spec:
CPU:    ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX graphics
Display    Type    TFT touchscreen, 16M colors
Size    360 x 640 pixels, 3.5 inches

Internal    128 MB storage; 256 MB RAM
Card slot    microSD, up to 32GB, 8GB included

Do you think its possible to get decent speeds out of that spec guys?

The reason I ask, well I tried out this mame emulator on the satio and its really good:

Just wondered if it would make another cool portable amiga.

Done a few vids of the satio running a few mame games

I dont know if its an on going project but when you actually get a game running, the speed seems good, even with the sound enabled.

The sad thing is no touchscreen controls on symbian S60 5th Edition phones, these phones carry fairly hefty CPU's 450-800 Mhz that seem competent at running emu's.

I managed to get xenon and space harrier running, with sound but no controller input is available to play the games 

What hardware were you running FOL? was it one of the S60 3rd edition phones? they have CPU's of around 200-250Mhz, so maybe the speed would be much slower.

I'll keep my eyes open on any developments, just in case! lol
