Amigo is a free native WinUAE port for running classic Commodore Amiga software on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. On first launch it boots a built-in AROS ROM; running genuine Amiga software requires your own Kickstart ROM and disks. Its configurations range from A500, A1200, A4000, and CD32 systems to a 68060 workstation, with OCS, ECS, and AGA chipsets. The emulator supports floppy images and archives, multiple mounted hard-drive images, and CD images. Input options include touch controls, keyboards, pointing devices, Bluetooth and USB controllers, and Apple Pencil features. Save states, autosave, named machine configurations, and iCloud sync for configurations and save states are included. 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 privacy policy says the app collects no data, makes no internet connections itself, and does not upload user files.
