Amigo — Amiga Emulator vs GEKKO 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.

GEKKO Amiga Emulator is a free Android app that emulates Commodore Amiga systems. Its listed emulation covers Amiga graphics, floppy-drive behavior, and hard-disk behavior. Controls include mouse input, virtual mouse controls, and joystick switching between ports 1 and 2. Bluetooth joypads are supported. The app listing describes fast loading and a Force 256 display-aspect option. Users can use a command line to insert text or press a key. GEKKO links to an Android version on Google Play, where the app is listed at free and contains ads. Google Play gives it an Everyone content rating. The developer is named as Gennaro Coda, with an address in Gragnano, Italy, and support is available at [email protected]. The developer’s privacy policy says its apps and games do not collect information. Google Play separately says the app may share device or other IDs with third parties, collects no data, encrypts data in transit, and does not allow data deletion.
