SF2000-UAE

What SF2000-UAE is
SF2000-UAE is a free Amiga 500 OCS emulator for Data Frog SF2000 and GB300 handhelds running multicore firmware. Based on uae4all-psp, it is adapted to the handhelds’ multicore framework and emulates an Amiga 500 with an OCS chipset and 68000 CPU. It uses ADF disk images. Installation requires placing the emulator core, a Kickstart ROM, and ADF game files in specified SD card folders. Kickstart is not included; the README recommends version 1.3, and release notes say versions 1.3 and 2.0 work while 3.0 does not. AGA games will not work because this is an OCS emulator.
The D-pad controls joystick directions, A and B fire, L and R change disks, SELECT toggles the virtual keyboard, and START opens the menu. Holding L and R together for three seconds switches to mouse mode, where the D-pad moves the cursor and A/B act as mouse buttons. Save and load states are available, but saves made in interlace mode cannot be loaded. Display settings offer vertical correction from -20 to +20 pixels and vertical stretch from 0 to 40 pixels. GitHub Releases provides separate SF2000 and GB300 builds. The program is GPL-2.0 software.
Who it suits
It is for owners of Data Frog SF2000 or GB300 handhelds running multicore firmware who want to emulate Amiga 500 OCS software. Users need to supply a Kickstart ROM and ADF game files.
What it does well
- Supports both SF2000 and GB300 handhelds.
- Includes save and load states.
- Offers adjustable vertical correction and stretch.
- Supports multi-disk games using numbered ADF filenames.
What to know first
- Kickstart ROM is not included.
- AGA games will not work.
- Kickstart 3.0 is unsupported.
- Interlace-mode saves cannot be loaded.

Getting started
- Download the SF2000 or GB300 build from GitHub Releases.
- Place the emulator core in the specified folder on an SD card.
- Add a Kickstart ROM to the specified SD card folder; version 1.3 is recommended.
- Add ADF game files to the specified SD card folder.
- For multi-disk games, use filenames with disk numbers, such as Game_1.adf and Game_2.adf.
- Insert the SD card into the handheld and use the mapped controls.
Verdict
SF2000-UAE provides Amiga 500 OCS emulation for two handhelds, with mapped controls, save states, and display adjustments. It requires users to supply compatible Kickstart and ADF files, and does not support AGA games or Kickstart 3.0.
