What vAmigaWeb is

vAmigaWeb is a free Amiga emulator for iPad, iPhone, Android, and web browsers. It runs as WebAssembly and uses the same cycle-exact core as the vAmiga Mac version. The site describes it as an installable progressive web app that can run offline; on iOS it can be saved to the home screen. Touch controls include a virtual keyboard, configurable joystick, and customizable overlay buttons and key mappings, and external game controllers are supported. It loads multiple disks and ZIP archives, including multivolume ZIP files, and supports ADF, extended ADF, HDF, ADZ, HDZ, and ST disk images. A Kickstart system ROM is required. Free AROS and EmuTOS replacements are offered, but copyrighted Commodore Kickstarts are not provided. Snapshots and settings are saved in local browser storage; the app requests persistent storage to reduce automatic eviction when granted. Private or incognito windows do not permit saving. Other features include a live memory viewer, RetroShell command line, activity monitors, and DMA bus visualization. The open-source project is licensed under the GNU General Public License, and its site links to GitHub issues and discussions.
