WinFellow
What it is
WinFellow is a free Amiga emulator aimed primarily at Windows and distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0. Its listed host platforms are Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, and it emulates the A500. Disk-image support includes ADF, HDF, DMS, and IPF, but Kickstart is not included. Display choices include automatic, 3x, and 4x scaling, with screenshots saved to the Pictures folder. Version 0.5.11 changed the default display driver to Direct3D 11 where supported, and the release archive includes a native ARM64 build. WinFellow supports RDB hardfiles, although its graphical interface creates plain hardfiles. It supports keyboard-initiated reset in Amiga Forever and includes RetroPlatform integration and Amiga Forever support modules. Basic serial-port emulation is present, but no device can connect. Version 0.5.8 was the last release supporting Windows XP or Vista. Volunteer developers welcome code, feature, and documentation contributions.
For and against
For
- Free under GPLv2

The verdict
WinFellow provides A500 emulation with broad disk-image support, scaling options, and platform integrations. Its Windows focus and missing Kickstart are important considerations before setup.
Who it suits
WinFellow suits Windows users who need an A500 emulator and support for several Amiga disk-image formats. It may also interest contributors to an open GPLv2 project.
