Amigo — Amiga Emulator vs UAE4ALL2 HD Vita

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.

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.
