About:
vAmiga is a high-precision emulator that recreates the hardware of classic Commodore Amiga models, including the A500, A1000, and A2000. It provides cycle-accurate emulation of the Motorola 68000 CPU, the custom chipset (Agnus, Denise, Paula), and other critical components. The software's main value proposition is delivering an authentic computing experience for running legacy software, games, and demos with high fidelity on modern systems.

Key Features:

Cycle-accurate emulation of the Motorola 68000 CPU and Amiga custom chips
Support for multiple Amiga models (A500, A1000, A2000) and hardware expansions
Advanced debugging tools, including a built-in disassembler and memory inspector
High-performance rendering with support for OpenGL and native Metal APIs

Use Cases:

Retro-gaming and preservation of Amiga software
Software development and debugging for the Amiga platform
Digital archaeology and historical computer science research

Alternatives:

FS-UAE – FS-UAE is a cross-platform emulator focused on broad compatibility and configuration via front-ends, whereas vAmiga prioritizes a native macOS experience and deep hardware-level debugging.
Amiberry – Amiberry is optimized for single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, while vAmiga is a native macOS application with a focus on high-fidelity graphics and developer tools.
