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:
“In 1869 he started his work for temperance instigated by three drunken men who came to his home with a paper signed by a saloonkeeper and his patrons on which was written “For God’s sake organize a temperance society.””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“As a final instance of the force of limitations in the development of concentration, I must mention that beautiful creature, Helen Keller, whom I have known for these many years. I am filled with wonder of her knowledge, acquired because shut out from all distraction. If I could have been deaf, dumb, and blind I also might have arrived at something.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
