The
Atari800 emulator works both on my Amiga1200 and my A4000, but it's slow (030 on the A1200 and 040 on the A4000) and I mostly use it for a slideshow of some Atari games. Here is addendum to the list of the great Amiga emulators:
Apple2000e - emulates almost perfectly the original AppleII+ and the latest version adds some AppleIIe functionality - mostly the extended memory, but lacks the 80column text mode, double highres and double lowres graphics modes. Still very compatible and fast - achieves original speed even on 28MHz 68020 Amigas. The Ludicrous speed option is really fun to watch on 68060 powered Amiga. Almost 98% compatible (a little part of the programs/games doesn't work). Unfortunatly it supports only the standart .dsk images, and the protected games as .nib wouldn't work.
CP4 - Commodore Plus 4 emulator with decent speed (have automatic frameskip option) with many chunkytoplanar drivers for achieving best perforamnce. Supports D64 and real 1541 diskdrives as well (provided you have the interface). Comes with freeware MakeROM utility which creates os96 ROM image for easier/faster install.
AmiTRS - TRS80 (or TRaSh80) emulator - it's relatively fast, but provided that it emulates Z80 powered monochrome computer, that's no surprice. It have many original textadventures and some graphics games as well, but most of them are rubbish. I have about 60MB (zip archived) worth of software for it, but probably woudn't have the time to see even 10% of it.
For the Amstrad there are Ami-CPC and
EmuCPC which are worth a try, although the compatibility is low. Many great games are available for the Amstrad (some classic games have better versions on the Amstrad than on the Commodore 64). Big deal of software titles are available at
NVG's FTP site. Plus the Amstrad have 80 column mode which is usefull for some old productivity software.
AmOric - Oric Atmos emulator - the Oric Atmos is a little known machine (mostly in France and UK) although it sold more than the Vic-20. The latest update to this emulator is from 1996, and it have some bugs causing freeze of the AmigaOS when exiting and stop of loading for improper tap images. Still it can be used for playing most of the games available on tapes. It lack emulation of disk drives and the hybrid half-TEXT half-HIRES mode (used in the games Doggy, Fire Flash etc..) for speed purposes. For more info and software for the Oric point your browser to
Oric.orgElectrostatic - this is not an emulator in the way the other emulators work. It's a static binary translator - it takes the Atari2600 ROM image (only 2K and 4K ROMs work) and will recompile it in Amiga Executable, making the resulted game relatively fast. Unfortunatelly not much of the newest Atari2600 games work, but still I had success with
Vault Assault,
Skeleton,
Warring Worms,
Some Demos and Secret Agent.
Vic-Emu - Vic-20 emulator - not much games work on it, also a little fast on my config, but still worth a try. Doesn't emulate the disk drives. The
Vic-Emu-tools come handy as an addition to the Vic-Emu.
MySNES - SNES emulator for 68K Amigas - this is 16 bit system, and unfortuantelly the result is very slow emulator without sound. I have only tried the Zophar Birthday demo on it and it worked.
AmiGenerator68K - Sega Genesis (Mega Drive emulator) - rather than taking the Fusion and Shapeshifter approach of emulating the 68K processor, it emulates it by software, thus very slow. Taking the game Splatter House 3 on my config to the title screen took minutes.
QDOS4Amiga - Sinclair QL emulator (or more likely a whole OS, since it takes over the machine and reboots) - the QL is a little known 68008 powered machine - actually probably the first publically available computer with multitasking OS (QDOS) - released in 1984. Not much software is available for this computer, and most of it are pretty hard to find anyway. The emulator reads/writes QL nativa 3 1/2 inch diskettes and runs most of the software (assuming it's 680x0 compatible - some of it needs patches).
ECPM and
SimCPM - these are emulators for the old multiplatform CP/M operating system - very primitive, but still nice to look at for nostalgic reasons - like running WordStar
DREaM - emulator of the Dragon 32 computer (6809 powered computer - the 6809 is the 8 bit little brother of the 68000). Compatibility is good, it's fast, have 2 versions - with copperlists for speed and slower system friendly version. Have the ability to save snapshots (also called savestates, for later gaming).
ABeeb - BBC micro emulator - I don't have much experience with this emulator except running some games on it.
AmiPCEngine - PCEngine emulator written by the AmiMasterGear author - it's not much compatible - only some of the demos which I tried actually worked.
ArcEm - Arcade Emulator for the Space Invaders + derivatives games - work good even on slow Amigas.
And some more.
