AmiKit is a compilation of 425 pre-installed and pre-configured Amiga programs (Amiga software built for Motorola 68000 series CPUs) running on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Amiga computers with a Vampire V2 card.[1]

Features

Key features of the software include:[citation needed]

  • The Directory, Opus Magellan, and Scalos desktop environments.[citation needed]
  • 425 pre-installed and pre-configured Amiga programs (tools, utilities, games, and demos) freely available from Aminet and other sources.
  • The "Rabbit Hole" feature, which allows the launch of Windows, Mac, or Linux applications directly from the Amiga desktop.[2]
  • Support for a range of resolutions including HD Ready (720p), FullHD (1080p), 4K UHD (2160p), 6K, and 8K UHD (4320p).[3][4]
  • TrueType fonts, Dual PNG icons (by Ken Lester), and 24-bit visual themes (including Dark Mode, Modern Retro, etc.).

Requirements

AmiKit requires Windows 7 (or newer), macOS (10.9 or newer), Linux (x86/64 able to run PlayOnLinux), a Raspberry Pi, or a Vampire V2 turbo card for a classic Amiga.[citation needed]
