Emulator options

WinUAE

The Granddaddy of amiga emulators, has all the latest features but it is complicated to get running, once you do have it running you won’t be missing anything, since it has a lot of options it might confuse new users and in that case it’s recommended to use the Quickstart option, it does require you to obtain your own kickstart roms and games. Download here.

FS-UAE

Requires some setup but once you have it setup it’s one of the easier options. Generally you need to obtain and configure games on your own but if you sign up on OpenRetro you can download some games pre-configured. Requires you to obtain your own kickstart roms. Download here.

Amiberry

Almost as complicated to use as WinUAE but just like WinUAE it does have a quickstart option to make it easier to use. Requires you to obtain your own kickstart roms and games. Download here.
