Amiga emulation has returned to the Xbox 360 with a controller-first interface, a rather unreasonable number of configuration fixes, and enough real-hardware testing to make several consoles reconsider their career choices.
Amiga 360 Refresh 2026 - Feature Edition is a separate project developed from the historical Amiga360/P-UAE 2.3.3 codebase. It does not replace the original Amiga360 1.0 release by Lantus, which remains intact as its own project. The old emulation core has been preserved while the interface, configuration system, mounting logic and surrounding Xbox 360 functionality have been extensively expanded.
Highlights:
• distinct and correctly configured A500, A1200, A1200 WHDLoad and A4000 profiles;
• a gamepad-driven GUI designed for real Xbox 360 hardware;
• paused-emulation backgrounds and smooth GUI transitions;
• persistent HDF and directory mounts with DH0-DH3 support;
• CD-ROM and ISO support through uaescsi.device;
• RTG/Picasso96 support for Workbench installations;
• save states, configuration persistence and redesigned activity indicators;
• selectable mixed, joystick-only and mouse-only controller modes;
• a clean emulation restart that can recover the occasional failed boot of a particularly moody old Workbench installation;
• separate public packages for Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
The Xbox build has been tested extensively on real hardware as well as through its PC backend. Minor recoverable bugs may still be fixed, but there are no plans to rewrite a fifteen-year-old core simply because it has developed a personality. It already runs AmigaOS 3.9 in Picasso Mode, which feels like a reasonable point at which to stop poking the chipset gods.
No Kickstart ROMs, Workbench files, games, WHDLoad collections or other copyrighted material are included.
