Amiga Forever vs UAE4ALL2 Mod

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 Mod is an Amiga emulator for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch, with support for Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 systems. It reads ADF, ADZ, HDF, and ZIP disk images, with ZIP available only for reading. The project says most Amiga games run at full speed with zero frameskip. Controls include six mappable sets, analog mouse control, and a virtual keyboard whose position and transparency can be adjusted. The emulator can mount up to four HDF files at once; maximum file sizes are below 2 GB on Vita and below 4 GB on Switch. Savestates support HDF, import and export, thumbnail previews, and an automatic slot. It also supports shaders, with automatic full 1080p in Switch docked mode. Multiplayer supports up to four paired controllers on Vita TV and up to eight on Switch. Users must provide Amiga Kickstart ROM files; the installation instructions specify kick13.rom and kick31.rom. Some games have known issues, including missing graphics in Banshee AGA and unsupported cycle-exact emulation needed for Nebulus 2. UAE4ALL2 Mod is free and GPL-2.0 licensed.
