One of the main reasons to buy my PSP was being able to emulate Amiga. Yes, at the time I was thinking of getting it I didn't care so much about the games, but was absolutely excited by the possibility of being able to play Amiga games anywhere on the go. After having bought my PSP in January 2006, however, I realised that things weren't yet all that good in the emulation department. I haven't been able to play my beloved Wolfchild, a game that I had so fond memories of.
I didn't have Amiga back then, because my parents couldn't afford one, so I had to play this game at my friend's place. I was totally enchanted by the atmosphere of this game - I even had my friend record music tracks from the game for me to listen on my tape-recorder... Although the game was very hard, the combination of music and artwork created incredible experience that I can't forget even now, many years later.

Wolfchild - now on your PSP.Anyways, the developers are working (albeit a bit slowly) and things did get better over the course of last few months. As you can see above, I was finally able to play Wolfchild on my PSP. I used PSPUAE 0.60 and with a frameskip of 2 it was running at a speed which I wouldn't yet call decent, but definitely playable. That taking into account playing in fullscreen and with sound. Loading time was a bit of a drag, but obviously this version of PSPUAE has progressed in terms of compatibility and speed, as compared to half year back. I do hope that in a few more months this game is going to be 100% playable with a perfect framerate.
I also checked a few other games (SWIV etc.) and although some frame skipping is necessary to get reasonable speed of emulation, the results are highly promising. I am waiting for another release.
Oh, and by the way, there are two excellent remixes of the first level background music available on the web - one by Lomaxx and one by Paul Blackford. I highly recommend downloading them.
