Porting amiga emulator should do the trick.

And that should be pretty easy.

Or, as there is already atari st emulator, you could also just use that!

does any one port the amiga emulator on tablet nokia ?

is it possible to use the rox image and compile UAE on it ?

having battle for wesnoth, now my desired games are:

-worms, clone or whatever
-risk game (maybe jrisk? http://jrisk.sourceforge.net/ )
-some trivia game

dreaming is free

I'm building UAE right now, but don't expect usable speed. Hatari on the 770 is already quite slow and the amiga has much more hardware to emulate.

(edit) Running UAE now :P

(edit) Sevenape: We can only port Open-Source games. Harvest Moon and XCom are commercial, as far as i can tell.

(edit) Speed for Arkanoid is very playable on 770. Trying some PD/Free games soon. Hildonizing, Doublesize and input control mapping still to-do. Garage page forthcoming later in the week.

Ooo... multiplayer versions of Risk, Stratego, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Battleship-- that's what I need!!!

You'll get better results submitting port requests for specific open-source linux programs not commercial computer games or board games.

Understood, Arnim, but I figured developers would lean toward clones anyway.

On a grand scale, what I envision as perfect for the tablet platform are games that are a hybrid of RTS and turn-based. Imagine that the game engine incorporates rules- and/or behavior-based autoturn capabilities. Say for example a player doesn't or can't respond to another player's moves in a reasonable time. The game server would act based on built-in or configurable parameters. It could resort to default behavior, "guesswork", or turn-skipping. Those are just a few ideas.

I'd love to see an IT game engine built from the ground up for this sort of purpose. It might take Nokia or a major game developer to pull it off, though...

I'm an idiot. The kind of game I'm talking about could use a pure web interface, with the game engine running entirely on the server. Heck, *I* could develop that (in VB.NET). Hmmm...

Commodore 64 emulator and M.U.L.E. would be very cool..

What a bloated dependency set for an emulator!

Frodo on the other hand, builds ok
