Amigo — Amiga Emulator vs Damisoft Amiga Emulator

Amigo is a free emulator for running classic Commodore Amiga software on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. On its first launch it boots a built-in AROS ROM, but running genuine Amiga software requires the user’s own Kickstart ROM and disks. Configurations range from A500, A1200, A4000, and CD32 systems to 68060 workstations, with OCS/ECS/AGA chipsets and up to 256 MB of Zorro III RAM. It accepts floppy, hard-drive, and CD images in formats including ADF, HDF, ISO, and CHD. Input options include touch, keyboards, pointing devices, Bluetooth and USB controllers, and Apple Pencil features. Amigo has save states, autosave, named configurations, and iCloud sync for configurations and save states. It requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, or an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. The project is GPL-2. Its privacy policy says the app collects no data, makes no internet connections itself, and does not upload user files.

Damisoft Amiga Emulator runs Amiga games in a web browser, with Windows, Linux, and macOS also listed as host platforms. To start, users select a Kickstart ROM and load at least one ADF disk image; Kickstart is not included. The quick start supports up to four ADF images in drives DF0–DF3. The emulator covers Amiga 500, 2000, 3000, and 4000/030 models, and OCS, ECS, and AGA chipsets. Listed floppy image formats are ADF, DMS, IMG, EXE, and SCP; HDF and VHD are supported for hard drive images. Advanced settings include the Amiga model, CPU, chipset, RAM, video, audio, ports, ROMs, floppy drives, and IDE media, with PAL or NTSC video options. A PC keyboard can control games, though key combinations differ by game. The maker’s games index lists 73 links, including folders, disk images, and ZIP archives. The maker says a fast computer is needed and that mobile or tablet frame rates may be too slow. Turbo is the fastest speed mode, but it is not always compatible. The listed plan is free.
