FS-UAE vs UAE4ALL2 HD Vita

FS-UAE is a free Amiga emulator for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with an emphasis on games and support for high-end Amiga systems. It emulates systems including the Amiga 500, 500+, 600, 1000, 1200, 4000, CD32, and CDTV. It accepts floppy images such as ADF and IPF, CD-ROM images such as ISO and BIN/CUE, and computer folders mounted as Amiga hard drives. Its optional graphical Launcher configures the emulator without configuration files and can identify games through the Open Amiga Game Database, retrieving covers and screenshots. The Launcher can also recognize many archived WHDLoad games. An on-screen menu supports gamepad control for tasks such as changing disks and loading save states. FS-UAE supports cross-platform online play and offers graphics options including aspect correction, zoom, shaders, and visual themes. It is free software under GPLv2, with some project parts and dependencies under other open-source licenses. It requires a moderately fast computer with accelerated OpenGL graphics; a gamepad or joystick is recommended, and users should ideally have the Kickstart ROMs for the systems they want to emulate.

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.
