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:
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“I have an intense personal interest in making the use of American capital in the development of China an instrument for the promotion of the welfare of China, and an increase in her material prosperity without entanglements or creating embarrassment affecting the growth of her independent political power, and the preservation of her territorial integrity.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
