Amiberry

May 12, 2026 · View on GitHub

Optimized Amiga emulator for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, FreeBSD, and Haiku.

Built on the WinUAE emulation core, Amiberry delivers full Amiga compatibility across ARM, x86, RISC-V, and LoongArch64 hardware — from a Raspberry Pi to a desktop workstation. Custom JIT compilation for ARM64 and x86-64 provides maximum emulation speed.

Quick Install

Linux

curl -fsSL https://packages.amiberry.com/install.sh | sudo sh
sudo apt install amiberry

Also available via PPA · COPR · Flatpak · AUR · .deb/.rpm

macOS

brew install --cask amiberry

Windows

Download the installer or portable ZIP. x64 and ARM64 (Windows-on-ARM / Snapdragon X, Copilot+) builds are both published. The portable ZIP includes the amiberry.portable marker, so writable paths stay next to Amiberry.exe without extra setup.

Windows release binaries are signed through SignPath. See the Code signing policy.

Windows ARM64 in a VM (VMware Fusion / Parallels / Hyper-V): the guest usually has no OpenGL ICD installed, so Amiberry's GL init fails at startup. Drop Mesa3D's opengl32.dll (mesa-llvmpipe-arm64 from mmozeiko/build-mesa) next to Amiberry.exe — that gives you software OpenGL 3.3+ and the GUI comes up. Native WoA hardware doesn't need this workaround.

Android

Available on Google Play (AArch64 & x86_64 with full ARM64 JIT support).

FreeBSD

In order to install amiberry on FreeBSD simply use pkg

pkg install amiberry

Or if you prefer to install from Source then

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports /usr/ports
cd /usr/ports/emulators/amiberry
make install
