Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

WinFellow is a free, open-source Amiga emulator for Windows users running Amiga software from floppy-disk images, hardfiles, and Windows-directory filesystem mappings. Its documented host platforms are Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, and its emulated model is the Amiga 500. The project suits users who want a focused desktop emulator with configurable controls, selectable Kickstart ROMs, screenshots, and support for several established Amiga storage formats.

Its strongest area is media and storage handling. WinFellow loads ADF floppy-disk images and supports UAE-format HDF hardfiles, RDB hardfiles, DMS images, and IPF images. Runtime disk-image switching is available for changing disks during use, while Windows-directory filesystem devices provide another way to access files from the host system. Direct3D 11 rendering is supported where the environment allows it, and configurable keyboard mapping helps adapt controls to individual preferences.

The product’s narrow scope is also its main boundary. WinFellow targets the Amiga 500 rather than a broader range of emulated Amiga models, and its host support is limited to Windows. Kickstart ROM selection is included, but the ROMs themselves must be legally obtained and supplied by the user. Distributed under GPLv2, WinFellow is a practical choice for Windows users seeking free A500 emulation with broad disk-image support. Users looking for multi-model Amiga emulation or a non-Windows option should choose a different emulator.
