What Amiga Emulators are available?

Note that whatever emulator you choose, you will also need a 'Kickstart ROM' for the model of Amiga you wish to emulate. The easiest legal way to get hold of a complete set (to emulate any Amiga) is to buy Amiga Forever, which also includes many of the emulators listed below and a user-friendly front-end for WinUAE.

• WinUAE is by far the most widely-used Amiga emulator, and is still being actively maintained and developed. Download the latest version from: www.winuae.net. NOTE: WinUAE 0.8.22R2 and newer will require DirectX 8.0 or newer - Link to DirectX

• WinFellow is an alternative emulator, especially suitable for older PCs. However, this is no longer updated and, unlike WinUAE, does not emulate AGA Amigas (A1200, A4000 or CD32). Homepage: fellow.sourceforge.net

• MESS (Multiple Emulator Super System) also supports emulation of the Amiga 500 and 1000 - like WinFellow, it does not emulate AGA Amigas. Homepage www.mess.org:

• UAE is the original Amiga emulator by Bernd Schmidt, but has not been updated since 2002: www.amigaemulator.org

• Richard Drummond’s E-UAE incorporated some of the enhancements from WinUAE, but has not been updated since 2007: www.rcdrummond.net/uae

• Finally, it is possible to run WinUAE (see above) on Linux through WINE: www.winehq.org

• E-UAE (see above) is also available for Apple Mac: www.rcdrummond.net/uae

• Peter Hutchison's Amiga Emulator FAQ provides informations on Amiga emulators for various other systems including DOS, Palm OS, Wii, PS2, Dreamcast, PSP and X-Box.
