Amiga Forever vs UAE4ALL2 HD Vita

Amiga Forever is Cloanto’s suite for preserving and emulating Amiga and AmigaOS systems, with tools to run different emulation engines, operating system versions, games, and demos in one-click steps. It emulates hardware features including custom chips, SCSI, TCP/IP, RTG, AHI, virtual memory, and PowerPC expansion boards. The RP9 Title Editor creates and edits playback configurations. Input options include configurable controllers and keyboard layouts, onscreen keyboards, clipboard integration, and touchscreen gestures. Windows integration includes File Explorer thumbnails and search indexing for RP9 titles, with status updates available for Discord, Facebook, and Twitter. Windows support covers versions 11, 10, 8, 7, and Vista, in x86 and x64. macOS and GNU/Linux content requires manual file copying and is intended for a more technical audience. Editions cost $19.95 as a one-time purchase for Value, $39.95, paid once for Plus, and $59.95, paid once for Premium; local taxes may apply. There is no demonstration version, though Amiga Explorer can be tried.

UAE4ALL2 HD Vita is a free, open-source PlayStation Vita build of an Amiga emulator based on UAE4ALL2. It emulates OCS, ECS and AGA chipsets with 68000 and 68020 CPU modes, covering Amiga models from A1000 through A4000, CD32 and CDTV. Supported media include ADF, ADZ, DMS, IPF, ZIP, LHA, LZH and HDF files, plus CD32 CHD, ISO, BIN, CUE and M3U images. WHDLoad can extract archives, configure an A1200 profile and launch games. An HDF Manager creates FFS images from 50 MB to 8192 MB, with four slots; a single Amiga partition remains limited to 4 GB. The app offers save states, a game library with up to eight roots, shaders, aspect scaling, touch and analog mouse controls, a virtual keyboard and autofire. FTP exposes Vita partitions on port 1337 and is unencrypted. Users must supply legally obtained Kickstart ROMs and disk images. UAEGFX/Picasso96 is not enabled.
