Amigo — Amiga Emulator review
A capable, open-source Amiga emulator for Apple users who want broad system and media support.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Amigo — Amiga Emulator is a free, open-source WinUAE-based emulator for running classic Commodore Amiga software on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. It is aimed at users who want broad Amiga system coverage on Apple hardware, including A500, A1200, A4000, CD32, and 68060 workstation configurations. The emulator supports 68000–68060 CPUs, OCS/ECS/AGA chipsets, RTG graphics, floppy disks, hard drives, CDs, networking, controllers, and save states. It includes an open-source AROS ROM replacement, while users provide their own Kickstart ROMs and software.
The free plan keeps the product straightforward: no ads, no purchases, and no accounts. Its media support is broad, covering ADF, ADZ, DMS, IPF, ZIP, LHA, LZX, 7Z, HDF, RDB, CUE/BIN, CCD, MDS, NRG, ISO, and CHD formats. Named machine configurations and automatic save states help organize different system setups. Hardware keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and Apple Pencil support suit desktop and tablet use, while Bluetooth controllers add CD32 mode and autofire. TV output is available through USB-C or AirPlay.
Amigo’s main trade-off is platform scope: it targets iPhone with iOS 17 or later, iPad with iPadOS 17 or later, and Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. It also does not supply legally packaged Commodore Kickstart ROMs, so authentic Amiga compatibility depends on the user’s own files. Choose Amigo if you use supported Apple hardware and want advanced emulation features without subscriptions or account requirements. Users seeking a Windows, Android, or broader multi-platform emulator should choose an alternative.
