Mike Bouma (Slashdot reader #85,252) writes: AmiKit is a compilation of pre-installed and pre-configured Amiga programs running emulated on Windows, macOS, and Linux (as well as running on classic 68K Amigas expanded with a Vampire upgrade card).

AmiKit has a feature that allows you to launch Windows, Mac or Linux applications directly from your Amiga desktop. The package includes anti-aliased fonts, Full HD 32-bit screen modes, and dualPNG icons, as well as exclusive versions of the Master Control Program and the Magic User Interface.

The original AmigaOS and Kickstart ROM are required to use the recently released AmigaOS 3.2. You can get the needed files from the package. Flower Pot supports emulating AmigaOS 4.x for PowerPC.

Here is an overview video by Dan Wood. A review of an earlier version of Amiga Future can be found here.


"Everything began in 1994 when my parents bought an Amiga 500 for me and my brother," explains AmiKit's developer.

I was 14 years old when the AmiKit was born. Over the years it became a legend in the community. The AmiKit X was originally developed for A.L.I.C.E., followed by the Vampire edition in 2020 and the Raspberry Pi version in 2021. The greatest version was released in 2020. When someone who has never heard of Amiga asks me why I would want to make a modern computer retro and old fashioned, my answer is simply because I love Amiga.
