Amiberry possible in termux
Should be possible. It seems to be open source, you'll just need to compile it in Termux: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry

Linux look and feel of AmigaOS
A500 Mini is just an overpriced, very low end device that runs Amiberry, designed to extract money from suckers.

A500 mini - your thoughts on it
If you edit/change the contents of the whdload_db.xml file inside the boot-data.zip then you can change the per-game settings. I don't know what all the possible settings are but you should be able to make it boot to an Amiga4000-like config (or at least with a faster CPU). Some more details about this at https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/wiki/WHDLoad-Auto-booting

Historyline 1914-18 on A500mini
However, I don't know how to tell the A500mini (or more specifically, the amiberry version running on it) to use these arguments. I've figured out that after opening the game options, a file called "Historyline_v1.5_1569_ol.uae" is created on the USB drive. Based on information found elsewhere, I have manually added the following line to this file:

a500 mini fatal flaw?
They're just making money off Amiberry, an easy to use Amiga emulation solution for Raspberry Pi.
-
Games do not load on Amiga 500 mini
I recommend updating the WHDLoad DB XML file in the TheA500 folder. It's in one of the sub folders. The latest XML file can be found here - https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/blob/master/whdboot/game-data/whdload_db.xml.

Also have a look at drawbridge which even supports live loading Amiga disks in an emulator. https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/

Amiga Forever
You can convert a cheap USB floppy drive into one that reads Amiga disks using a Drawbridge from https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ - I've done this and it works.

I got to rescue A500, 1084S, and 215 disks
This seems to be Rob's official site?

Copying software from modern computers
For the second case I recommend Rob Smith's DrawBridge (previously known as ArduinoFloppyDiskReader): https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ It's a simple arduino-based project, which allows you to use a regular PC floppy drive to write (and read) amiga disk images. You can make your own, or wait your turn for Rob to sell you one pre-assembled. I made my own and it works great.

Amiga500 Mini & Floppy's
Forget the a500 mini, it's not worth your time. You can use this cheap contraption to grab images of all your old floppy disks: https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ and just load them up on an emulator like fs-uae, winuae, or whatever, which you can run on any PC you like. The A500mini is just an ARM computer in an amiga-shaped box running the same emulator, without a keyboard, without giving you all the options the emulator can handle, and you have to pay for it... The point approaches 0 pretty fast.
