The record

Purpose: vAmiga emulates Commodore Amiga 500, 1000 and 2000 computers on macOS.
Development: Development began in January 2019.
Accuracy: The emulator aims for cycle-exact precision, performing memory accesses on the same DMA cycles as the original machine.
User interface: vAmiga provides an easy-to-use graphical interface intended to hide technical details from users.
License: vAmiga is open-source under the GNU General Public License, while its CPU core is under the MIT license.
System requirement: The deployment target is macOS 12 Monterey, and earlier macOS releases cannot run the app.
Kickstart ROM: A Kickstart ROM is required; original Commodore ROMs are not shipped, while two AROS ROM revisions are included as a freely redistributable alternative.
Disk formats: Supported formats include ADF, Extended ADF, DMS, EXE, IMG, folders and HDF.
Snapshots: Snapshots can freeze and restore emulator state, but snapshot storage is not persistent and snapshots may stop working between releases.
Debugging: Inspector tools provide CPU debugging, breakpoints, watchpoints, DMA visualization, activity monitors, stencils and a RetroShell console that can process scripts.
Multiplayer: Two emulator instances can connect through an emulated null modem cable using socket connections, with port 8080 as the default.
Controllers: The emulator supports keyboard-emulated joysticks, compatible USB gamepads and original Commodore joysticks through RetroFun! or aJoy adapters.
Privacy: The website can be visited without registration, stores accessed pages, filenames, dates and times for statistical purposes, and says personal data is not shared without consent.
Hosting: The website is hosted on GitHub Inc. servers.
