Amiberry-Lite is an optimized Amiga emulator for ARM (32bit and 64bit) and RISC-V platforms.

The core emulation comes from [WinUAE](https://www.winuae.net), and even the main GUI is designed to look similar to that.
It includes JIT support, to get high-performance results on CPU-intensive emulated environments, like desktop applications. On top of that, there are some unique features developed specifically for Amiberry, such as the WHDLoad booter, support for RetroArch controller mapping, and several more.

There are currently two Amiberry editions available: **Amiberry and Amiberry-Lite** - [see here](https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/wiki/First-Installation) to see which is the best pick for your needs.

## Getting Amiberry-Lite

### Linux

Amiberry-Lite is available as a Flatpak, DEB and RPM package for ARM32, ARM64 (aarch64) and x86_64 Linux platforms. You can download the latest version from the [Releases](https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/releases) area.

A flatpak version is available on [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/com.blitterstudio.amiberry)
Amiberry-Lite is available as a DEB package for ARM32 and ARM64 (aarch64) Linux platforms. You can download the latest version from the [Releases](https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/releases) area.
Users of macOS and x86_64 Linux are better off using the full [Amiberry](https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry) version, instead.

For DEB packages:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install ./amiberry-lite_5.8.0_arm64.deb

Or the RPM package:

sudo dnf install ./amiberry-lite-5.8.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Or just use the graphical front-end your distro provides (double-clicking on the DEB/RPM package should do that)

If you're on Arch Linux you'll find Amiberry on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amiberry) or if you use an AUR helper like [yay](https://github.com/Jguer/yay), you can build and run:

yay -S amiberry-lite
Or just use the graphical front-end your distro provides (double-clicking on the DEB package should do that)

### Distro package management

Some distros (like RetroPie, DietPi, Pimiga and others) already include Amiberry either pre-installed, or through their package management systems. Please follow the methods provided in those distros for a smoother experience, and refer to their owners for support during this process.
