In their own words
E-UAE
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.
UAE4ARM
UAE4ARM is a free Android port of an Amiga emulator. It supports AGA, OCS, and ECS Amiga models and reads ADF, ADZ, HDF, ISO, CUE, and RP9 disk images. Kickstart is not included. Audio support uses WinUAE’s paravirtual AHI driver for 16-bit sound through AHI. Graphics include RTG modes sized to the device screen and an option to preserve the 4:3 ratio. Input can use touch, on-screen controls, a Bluetooth mouse, or selectable joystick and cursor-key D-pad modes. File dialogs browse internal storage, SD cards, and readable USB volumes, including removable media connected through an OTG adapter. Save-state files and preview images stay together, and users can choose the save-state folder. Release notes identify version 1.0.5.5 as the latest release and add 16-bit AHI sound support. They also state that 32-bit Android devices are supported with JIT disabled; enabling JIT can freeze the emulator when returning to emulation. The project is GPL-2.0 licensed, free of charge, and provided without warranty.
