Amiberry vs SF2000-UAE

Amiberry is a free Amiga emulator built on the WinUAE core. It runs on Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports Amiga models including the A500, A1200, A4000, CD32, and CDTV, as well as listed arcade systems. It supports save states, hardware acceleration, and a wide range of disk image formats, including ADF, HDF, ISO, and CHD. Kickstart is not included. The emulator can launch WHDLoad titles with automatic configuration and offers CRT bezels, built-in shaders, and external GLSL shaders. Its interface can be navigated by mouse or gamepad, and floppy images, hard files, and configuration files can be dragged into it. A custom JIT compiler supports ARM64 and x86-64. The built-in update checker verifies downloads with SHA256. Amiberry is licensed under GPLv3, and the site lists packages or installation options for its supported platforms. The project welcomes bug reports, feature suggestions, and pull requests.

SF2000-UAE is free GPL-2.0 software that emulates an Amiga 500 with an OCS chipset and 68000 CPU on Data Frog SF2000 and GB300 handhelds running multicore firmware. Based on uae4all-psp, it uses ADF disk images and is distributed through GitHub Releases with separate handheld builds. Installation requires placing the emulator core, a Kickstart ROM, and ADF game files in specified SD-card folders; Kickstart is not included. The README recommends Kickstart 1.3, and release notes state that versions 1.3 and 2.0 work while 3.0 does not. AGA games cannot run because the emulator targets OCS. Controls map the D-pad to joystick directions, A and B to fire, L and R to disk changes, SELECT to the virtual keyboard, and START to the menu. Holding L and R for three seconds enables mouse mode. Save states are available, though interlace-mode saves cannot be loaded. Display controls provide vertical correction from -20 to +20 pixels and stretch from 0 to 40 pixels.
