| Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | | WinUAE (Windows), FS-UAE (cross-platform) | | ROMs | Requires Kickstart 1.3 or 3.1 (legal only if you own original Amiga hardware) | | AMOS version | AMOS Professional 1.3 (the final, most stable release) | | Performance | Identical to original. Emulation is cycle-accurate. | | Storage | Use .HDF hard disk images or ADF floppy images. |
❌ Requires emulator setup – not "install and run" ❌ No native Windows version (unlike BlitzMax or PureBasic ) ❌ Legal grey area for ROMs if you don't own real Amiga hardware ❌ Old-school editor – no modern conveniences like autocomplete, mouse-driven debugging ❌ Can't compile to .EXE for PC – only Amiga executables (run inside emulator) amos for pc
The Short Version: You can't run original AMOS natively on Windows/Mac/Linux. To use it on a PC, you need an Amiga emulator (like WinUAE). Once set up, it runs perfectly —exactly as it did on a 1990s Amiga. | Aspect | Details | |--------|---------| | |
