Amiga, a word that maybe means nothing to a lot of people these days but, for many of us who were born in the 80s, Amiga is a big part of our youth. We decided to make a list of Amiga emulators for Android for all of the old-school gamers whose heart skips a beat whenever you mention some of the gems of their time.
I was the lucky owner of an Amiga 500+ and looking back now, I can definitely say that this machine was the reason why I fell in love with gaming in the first place.
I can't even begin to count how many hours I've spent playing TVS Boxing (one of my favourite games of all time), Sensible Soccer, Vroom, Afterburner, Lemmings, Turrican, Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Barbarian and the list goes on and on. There are so many titles, it would take a whole article just to write all of them and I'm sure everyone has their favourite one.
If you are feeling nostalgic and you are looking to take a trip down the memory lane to relive the Amiga gaming experience on your mobile device, or if you are just curious to see how games were back in the day you are at the right place. In this article, we will take a look at the best available Amiga emulators for Android. We already covered one of these in our article on 'How to play Amiga games on Android'.
AnUAE4All
AnUAE4All isn’t free as the other emulators on our list. It’s available for $2.99 on PlayStore but it does work. I could even set up an old PS3 controller to play Turrican at a decent frame rate. It’s not perfect of course. There are issues with it, but there are many problems with Amiga emulators for Android devices in general. Also, be aware that you might run into problems if you install this app on Android 11.
Uae4all2
Amiga Kickstart Roms Download Free
Sadly I couldn't make Uae4all2 run pretty much anything. I ran into a number of problems, from storage permissions to a non-responsive interface you name it. Maybe it will run on older Jellybean devices. Since I couldn't have any personal gaming experience with it, it wouldn't be fair to rate it. But since it's free and it's available on Playstore, maybe it will run on some devices if you feel like giving it a try. Of course, you are going to need to find a Kickstart ROM for it.
Uae4Droid
The interface on this one might remind you of how MS-DOS used to like back in the day. Bottom line, it’s pretty basic but it does work. You will need to find your own Kickstart ROM though. ‘Amiga Forever Essentials’ offers a number of ROMs but it’s not free. It’s available for $1.99 on Google Play.
When you finally manage to play a game, the controls are somewhat buggy. Of course, it also depends on the game. Some will play better than others.
Uae4arm
Uae4arm is the closest thing to WinUae (probably the best Amiga emulator for PC) as its interface is pretty much identical. There’s a number of options available that you can play around with if you are an experienced user. It also comes with a default Kickstart ROM, so all you have to do is download an Amiga game (.adf), load it up on the virtual floppy disk(s) and cross your fingers. Sadly not every game is playable in my experience.
RetroArch
Amiga Kickstart 1.3 Rom Download Free
RetroArch is my favourite Amiga (and not only) emulator for Android devices. The problem is, it’s not exactly ‘plug n play’. There’s a number of things that you need to do in order to play games. You need to download PUAE core, you need Kickstart Roms to be renamed a certain way and stored in the /RetroArch/System folder. Of course, it doesn’t include any Kickstart Roms so you’ll either have to dig around the internet or get ‘Amiga Forever Essentials’ for 2$ on PlayStore.

Commodore Amiga Section. This is one of the largest and most complete rom sets available. A500,A600,A1000,A1200,A2000,A3000,A4000 are all here. The Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. The first model, the A1000, was launched in 1985 and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities. The Amiga provided a significant upgrade from 8-bit computers, such as the Commodore 64, and the platform quickly grew in popularity among computer enthusiasts. The name 'Amiga' was chosen because it is the Spanish word for (female) friend, and alphabetically it appears before Apple in lists of computer makers. It originated as a project code-named 'Lorraine', therefore the female was used instead of the male and general version Amigo. The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became one of the leading home computers of the late 1980s and early 1990s with approximately six million sold. The A3000, introduced in 1990, started the second generation of Amiga Systems, followed by the A500+ and the A600. Finally, as the third generation, the A1200 and the A4000 were released in 1992. However, poor marketing and failure to repeat the technological advances of the first systems meant that the Amiga quickly lost its market share to competing platforms, such as the fourth generation game consoles, Apple Macintosh, and IBM PC compatibles. Based on the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors, the machine has a custom chipset with graphics and sound capabilities that were unprecedented for the price, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS. The original operating system, partly based on TRIPOS and written in BCPL, is called AmigaDOS and the GUI is called Workbench. When it was eventually renamed AmigaOS, the BCPL parts were rewritten in the C language. Although early Commodore advertisements attempt to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, especially when outfitted with the Amiga Sidecar PC compatibility addon, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software. It was also a less expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC as a general-purpose business or home computer. Initially, the Amiga was developed alongside various PC Compatible Systems by Commodore but later Commodore left the PC market. The platform became particularly popular for gaming and programming demos. It also found a prominent role in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to affordable video editing systems such as the Video Toaster. The Amiga's native ability to simultaneously play back multiple digital sound samples made it a popular platform for early 'tracker' music software. The relatively powerful processor and ability to access several megabytes of memory led to the development of several 3D rendering packages, including LightWave 3D and Aladdin 4D. Since the demise of Commodore, various groups have marketed successors to the original Amiga line, including Genesi, Eyetech, ACube Systems and A-EON Technology. Likewise, AmigaOS has influenced replacements, clones and compatible systems such as MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS. The demise of Commodore has been commonly attributed to numerous factors such as poor marketing, a lack of sufficient third party developers, and a failure to compete with cheaper PC clones with 'multimedia' features and low-cost color-capable Macintosh models such as the Macintosh LC.
