E-UAE vs GEKKO Amiga Emulator

E-UAE emulates Amiga computers so users can run Amiga software on other platforms. Based on UAE and WinUAE, it aims to improve performance and features across host systems, and its listed changes include an emulation core merged from WinUAE 1.3.x. Supported Amiga models include 68000-based ECS, ECS with Fat Agnus, AGA, CDTV, CD32, 68020, and 68060. It handles ADF, DMS, FDI, and IPF disk images, including gzip- and ZIP-compressed images, and supports save states and hardware acceleration. Full use requires a Kickstart ROM image, which is not included; built-in ROM emulation may work with some old games. A desktop-window mouse feature synchronizes the Amiga pointer with the host pointer. An experimental OpenGL renderer is available through the SDL display backend, and uae-configuration can query or modify settings from within emulated AmigaOS. E-UAE is free open-source software under the GPL. It builds and runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Solaris, BeOS, AmigaOS and clones, among other systems, with feature support varying by host.
