Amigo is a free emulator for running classic Commodore Amiga software on iPhone, iPad and Apple Silicon Mac. It is a native WinUAE port, with configurations ranging from a stock A500 to a 68060 system with RTG graphics, up to 256 MB of Zorro III RAM and optional networking. The first launch boots a built-in AROS ROM, but genuine Amiga software needs the user’s own Kickstart ROM and disks. Amigo supports floppy images and archives, mounted hard-drive images, and CD images. Controls include touch, keyboards, pointing devices, Bluetooth and USB controllers, and Apple Pencil features. Save states, autosave, named configurations and iCloud sync are available. The listed requirements are iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, or an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. The 68k CPU is interpreted because Apple does not allow JIT on the App Store. The project is GPL-2. Its privacy policy says it collects no data, makes no internet connections itself and does not upload user files.
Who it is for
Amigo suits people who want to run classic Amiga software on an iPhone, iPad or Apple Silicon Mac and have their own Kickstart ROM and disks. Its controls and supported media offer options for different input devices and Amiga image types.
