Amiga Forever is an Amiga preservation, emulation and support package published by Cloanto,^[1][2] allowing Amiga software to run on non-Amiga hardware legally without complex configuration.

The Windows^[3] version of Amiga Forever includes a "player" software developed by Cloanto which uses plugins such as WinUAE as emulation engines, while relying on its own user interface for configuration and authoring. In addition to supporting common disk image formats, Amiga Forever can also play back and author files in Cloanto's proprietary RP9 format which are compressed files that embed all media images including XML-based configuration and description data, and ancillary content like documentation, screenshots, and audio tracks.

Beginning from the 2012 version, Amiga Forever ships with an RP9 Editor for content authoring. Besides its own authoring and playback environment, and Cloanto's floppy disk conversion service, Amiga Forever includes WinUAE and WinFellow, and different versions of UAE and E-UAE for other platforms. All versions of Amiga Forever include different AmigaOS (m68k) environments and support to run a large range of Amiga games and demoscene productions which are available for download from different software publishers and Amiga history sites. The Windows version also includes Cloanto's Amiga Explorer networking software, which allows access to Amiga resources (including virtual floppy, hard disk and ROM image files) from the Windows Desktop.
