In their own words
FS-UAE
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 Mod
UAE4ALL2 Mod is an Amiga emulator for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch, with support for Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 systems. It reads ADF, ADZ, HDF, and ZIP disk images, with ZIP available only for reading. The project says most Amiga games run at full speed with zero frameskip. Controls include six mappable sets, analog mouse control, and a virtual keyboard whose position and transparency can be adjusted. The emulator can mount up to four HDF files at once; maximum file sizes are below 2 GB on Vita and below 4 GB on Switch. Savestates support HDF, import and export, thumbnail previews, and an automatic slot. It also supports shaders, with automatic full 1080p in Switch docked mode. Multiplayer supports up to four paired controllers on Vita TV and up to eight on Switch. Users must provide Amiga Kickstart ROM files; the installation instructions specify kick13.rom and kick31.rom. Some games have known issues, including missing graphics in Banshee AGA and unsupported cycle-exact emulation needed for Nebulus 2. UAE4ALL2 Mod is free and GPL-2.0 licensed.
