'Amigo' Amiga emulator on the App Store for iPad

[blakespot]

From Amiga-News.de,

"Amigo" a free Amiga emulator for the iPad, is now available in the App Store. The app, developed by Thomas Lübker, is based on the latest version of WinUAE by Toni Wilen and is open source (GitHub) under the GPL2 license. Following a TestFlight beta phase, the app has now passed Apple’s app review. It emulates processors ranging from the 68000 to the 68060, OCS/ECS/AGA chipsets, up to 256 MB of Zorro III RAM, and an RTG graphics card (Picasso96/uaegfx). It supports ADF floppy disk images, HDF hard disk images (including RDB images), WHDLoad, Savestates and network access via bsdsocket.library.

The iPad adds several platform-specific features: a 1:1 touch-mouse mode, support for Apple Pencil (hover moves the pointer, squeeze clicks), hardware keyboards, mice, and trackpads, as well as TV output via USB-C or AirPlay, with controls remaining on the iPad. As usual, you’ll need to provide your own kickstart ROMs; to try it out, the app launches with the free AROS ROM. iPadOS 17 or later is required. The app is free and contains neither advertisements nor in-app purchases.

It seems very odd that this was approved and I assume it will be pulled, shortly.

...and if you installed it and load up ShapeShifter, Basilisk II, or Fusion -- all Amiga-based Mac emulators -- then you're running classic Mac OS on your iPad. Sounds like a fun exercise. ;-)
