WinFellow is a free Amiga emulator primarily for Windows, with support for the A500 and ADF, HDF, DMS, and IPF disk images. Its listed host platforms are Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11; Kickstart is not included. Display options include automatic, 3x, and 4x scaling, and screenshots can be saved to the Pictures folder. Version 0.5.11 made Direct3D 11 the default display driver where supported, and the release archive includes a native ARM64 build. WinFellow handles RDB hardfiles, although creating one in its interface produces a plain hardfile. It also includes RetroPlatform integration and support modules for Amiga Forever, where users can initiate a reset from the keyboard. The basic serial port emulation cannot connect to a device. Version 0.5.8 was the last release supporting Windows XP or Vista. Distributed under GPLv2, WinFellow is developed by volunteers who welcome code, feature, and documentation contributions.

Who it is for

WinFellow suits Windows users who want to emulate an A500 and work with supported Amiga disk images. It may also suit users who want adjustable display scaling or a native ARM64 build.
