Amiga Forever
What it is
Amiga Forever is Cloanto’s suite for preserving, emulating, and supporting Amiga and AmigaOS systems. Its editions provide tools to run different emulation engines, operating system versions, games, and demos in one-click steps. Emulated hardware features include custom chips, SCSI, TCP/IP, RTG, AHI, virtual memory, and PowerPC expansion boards. The RP9 Title Editor creates and edits playback configurations, while input options include configurable controllers and keyboard layouts, onscreen keyboards, clipboard integration, and touchscreen gestures. The Value Edition costs $19.95, paid once and includes a Windows installer, Workbench 1.3, ROM versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, plus 25+ games and 25+ demos. Plus Edition costs $39.95, paid once, and Premium Edition costs $59.95, paid once. Windows support covers versions 11, 10, 8, 7, and Vista, with x86 and x64 support. The product is also listed for Android, iOS, Linux, and macOS. macOS and GNU/Linux content requires manual file copying and is intended for a more technical audience. There is no demonstration version, though Amiga Explorer can be tried.
