Spec score 7.1 #19 of 22 in Amiga Emulators

What it is

WinFellow is a free Amiga emulator primarily targeted at Windows and distributed under the GNU General Public License 2.0. It emulates the A500 and lists Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 as host platforms. Supported disk image formats are ADF, HDF, DMS and IPF, while Kickstart is not included. Display scaling can be automatic, 3x or 4x, and screenshots can be saved to the Pictures folder. Version 0.5.11 changed the default display driver to Direct3D 11 where supported, and the release archive includes a native ARM64 build. WinFellow supports RDB hardfiles, although creating one through its GUI makes a plain hardfile. It supports keyboard reset in Amiga Forever, includes RetroPlatform integration and has Amiga Forever support modules. Its basic serial-port emulation has nothing connectable. Version 0.5.8 was the last release supporting Windows XP or Vista. The volunteer project welcomes code, feature and documentation contributions.

  • Free GPLv2 distribution
  • Supports ADF, HDF, DMS and IPF images
  • Automatic, 3x and 4x scaling
  • Native ARM64 build included
  • Direct3D 11 default where supported

  • No connectable device for serial emulation
  • Windows XP and Vista support ended at version 0.5.8

Who it suits

It suits Windows users who need an A500 emulator and already have appropriate Kickstart files. It also fits users wanting common Amiga disk-image formats and adjustable display scaling.

Verdict

WinFellow provides a free Windows-focused A500 emulation package with broad disk-image support and modern display options. Users should account for the missing Kickstart and its current Windows platform scope.
