Project Development
There are currently three main forks of the original program:
- WinUAE, designed to run on Windows
- PUAE, designed to run on Unix platforms (a fork of the inactive E-UAE)
- FS-UAE, designed to run on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (a port of WinUAE with an focus on emulating games, featuring a new on-screen GUI and cross-platform online play)
Today the most active fork is WinUAE; however, current versions of this still contain some bugs and compatibility issues. WinUAE has reasonable compatibility for most software but, just like a "real" Amiga, for some old games it requires careful configuration in order to match the originally-supported hardware. For example, 68000 code could cause an exception on an emulated 68040, just like it would on an Amiga 4000/040. Since 2007, WinUAE has been including a layer of code for use as a "plugin" in Amiga Forever.
On 1. September 2012 a new Amiga emulator using Javascript called Janus Amiga Emulator by Rupert Hausberger was released. It is based on WinUAE and needs a modern, HTML5 capable browser and a very fast computer to run on.

Famous quotes containing the words project and/or development:
“I wish to come to know you get to know you all
Let your belief in me and me in you stand tall
Just like a project of which no one tells
Or do ya still think that I’m somebody else?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
